Chapter 397


    Chapter 397 She Pretended Not to Care


    Hank immediately asked Keith to investigate, and soon, there was a result.


    “Mr. Barnwell, the situation is true. Miss Jones and Miss Kensley have indeed cooperated with the LKD


    magazine. Moreover, as the designer, Miss Jones will appear, and Miss Kensley will be the cover


    model for the magazine.”


    “The strange thing is that ording to the rules of the entertainment industry, Miss Kensley does not


    seem to be qualified, but she was appointed as the cover model of their magazine for the next quarter.


    There should be capital behind this.” In the few sentences, the ins and outs of this matter had been


    made very clear. Hank turned to look at the fallen leaves outside the window. The side profile of his


    face was angr, and his thin lips slowly closed. “Contact the person in charge of LKD and find out


    who Alma used to get there. In addition, why did they choose Lyra?” Didn’t she want the Jones Group


    to get engaged in investment? Why did she want to be a designer? Hank felt his head hurt even


    more. Why was it that the more he wanted to get close to Lyra, the more he felt that he didn’t


    understand her?


    This kind of tangled mood made him suffer.


    When Keith heard this, he was also a little stunned. Was his president concerned about Alma or Lyra?


    Why did he want to investigate both of them? “What are you standing there for? Go quickly!” “Yes, Mr.


    Barnwell. Also, there is one more thing. There are some problems with Yuanpeng’s cooperation case.


    Mr. Evans wants to meet you and talk.” “Ask him toe to the hospital and tell him that I’m in poor


    health,” Hank said coldly. “… Yes.”


    Others might not know, but Keith was the one who handled Hank’s hospitalization procedures. He


    didn’t even have a slight cold.


    Keith quietly left the ward and ryed the instructions of his president. He also found a very reliable


    private detective to secretly inquire about the rtionship between Alma and Lyra and the magazine.


    Then, several mediapanies that Hank had secretly instructed began to y their love cards at the


    same time.


    The headlines of the news were also more eye-catching.


    In short, it meant that because Terry betrayed the Barnwell group, thepany’s strength was greatly


    damaged and they needed to pay arge amount of


    people the feeling that he was already beyond cure.


    However, this level was not enough to satisfy Hank’s expectations.


    He wanted to appear even worse. For example, the Barnwell group was about to go bankrupt, he was


    in heavy debt, and there were even some retailers who began to sell the Barnwell group’s shares.


    This led to rumors in the outside world, and some of the words were even unbearable to hear. “Hank,


    isn’t this too much?” Jasper scrolled down two pieces of news. Even he didn’t quite believe it. Hank,


    who was still as glorious as an Emperor yesterday, was now in this state? He also knew that the


    Barnwell group and the other board members were all very concerned about him, but he didn’t let


    anyonee to see him. He had deliberately created the illusion of being abandoned. Even if it was for


    a woman, it was still… “Not enough.” Hank coldly said these words, and his eyes became colder and


    colder. Afraid that he still had a bigger n, Jasper helplessly held his forehead, “Lyra only


    asionally reads the news, and her attention is on the newly opened studio. How can she have time


    to pay attention to you?” The more he spoke, the softer his voice became, because Hank’s expression


    had already changed. At that moment, Jasper realized, “You don’t know?” Hank coughed bitterly and


    exined, “You also know that I’ve been busy filling up the gaps after Terry left. Moreover, didn’t she


    want to develop the Jones Group in the direction of an investmentpany? Why did she start a


    studio now?” Starting from the beginning? As soon as he saw Hank’s expression, Jasper sighed


    heavily. “No wonder you couldn’t


    get her back. You don’t understand what she wants at all! Learning design, studying overseas, and


    opening a designpany is a designer’s dream.” Jasper chattered incessantly in his ear. Hank’s


    thoughts were pulled back to three years ago. Lyra called him and told him that one of her former


    ssmates was going to open a design exhibition and asked him if he had time to go with her. At that


    time, the trap he set up for the Jones Group was about to be closed. Of course, he wouldn’t spend any


    more time with her. He found a random reason to change the topic.


    But for some reason, at this moment, he seemed to have understood Lyra’s anticipation and envy back


    then. “Then does she need my help?” Hank sighed slowly. “Brat, you finally understand!” Jasper’s eyes


    lit up. But for the next second, both of them fell into a daze at the same time. What was the use of Hank


    being enlightened without Lyra epting him? For the next few days, Lyra was busy with the design


    studio, and she even rarely went to the Jones Group. All the business of thepany was entrusted to


    the professional management team to be responsible. Only when some important things arose would


    she go to the meeting to talk about them. She had been so devoted to the design because she needed


    time to consume energy so that she would not be idle enough to care about the news outside. For


    example, the Barnwell group, and Alma. She really wanted to live a good life for herself. The phone


    rang again. She originally did not want to answer it, but when she saw that it was Nore, she pressed


    the answer button. “Something happened to the Barnwell group?” Nore had just finished a meeting


    outside and was so busy that he did not care about the news over there. “Yes,” Lyra responded


    casually and pressed the lift button. The cutting knife in her hand moved slowly, making a rustling


    sound. “It’s just that Terry left. How could it have such a big impact on the Barnwell group? Even my


    dad told me that manypanies are going to terminate their contract with the Barnwell group

    recently. In addition, there is a problem with the money chain. This time, Hank won’t be unable to turn


    over.” Although he did not have a good impression of Hank, he had to admit that Hank was enough to


    represent Cloud Town’s business authority during a certain period. If hispany fell, the entire market


    would have to be re-shuffled. At that time, it would not just be chaos. Moreover, as long as the Barnwell


    group existed, some smallpanies that were not popr would be squeezed out of the market. This


    was also the reason why the Barnwell group had always been supported by the foundation. “Lyra, are


    you still listening?” “Mm…”


    Lyra responded, and with a sh of her hand, the de stabbed into her fingertips.


    She threw the de in pain, and as she watched the blood spill out, the surging pain in her heart


    surged up again. “Nore, I don’t want to mention him. Is there anything else?” “… No more.” On the


    other side, Nore gripped his phone and his fingers tightened. “Lyra…”


    Before he could finish speaking, the call had already ended. The disconnection sound was so urgent,


    just like how Lyra was in a hurry to escape at this time. She was flustered and helpless.
