Chapter 419 Unfair Cooperation
Lyra walked out reluctantly, only thinking about the purpose of the maning over. Javier looked
around at the people present, and his gaze swept over Nina’s face with aplicated look. At this
time, Nina felt suffocated. “Do you know that Shen Qian wants to sign her?” She rushed to Javier in a
few steps.
“Let’s talk outside.” Javier pulled her. Nina sneered and shook off his hand. “I thought you saw that she
was good-looking and took a fancy to her. It turned out that you had nned to rece me long ago.”
“What nonsense are you saying!” Javier seemed to have been exposed and quickly pulled her out.
Nina hated him so much that she stared straight at his face. “Everyone else thinks that you are a
genius in this circle. But they don’t know that’s all a persona thepany has created for you. Without
me to work with you, you’d still be a waiter…” “Shut up.” Javier suddenly pressed down on her
shoulder. His entire person blocked the lights and cameras above her head.
Under the haze, his eyes shone with a terrifying light. “Nina, you know me. Don’t cross the line.” His
voice was cold and threatening. He tightened his grip on Nina’s shoulder, causing her to frown in pain.
“You…” Before she could finish her words, she was flung away by the man with a cold face. Just then,
a contestant came out of the restaurant and looked at them in surprise. “You haven’t left yet?”
A smile immediately appeared on Javier’s face. “Nina is a little ufortable. I’ll send her back to her
room first.”
“Do you need help?” The contestant looked at Nina’s face. She really didn’t look too good.
Javier nced over. Nina immediately shook her head and lowered her head “It’s fine. Javier can just
send me off.”
“You guys are so sweet. It’s really enviable.”
Javier smiled gently and took the initiative to hold Nina’s hand. “Let’s go.” From the back, the two of
them looked like both friends and lovers. But only Nina knew how hard Javier’s hand was as if he
wanted to crush her wrist.
In the office. After Lyra knocked on the door and went in, she only saw Hank alone. There were no
guides or cameraman.
She subconsciously wanted to retreat but was stopped by the man. “Come in if you want topete.”
Lyra nced at him and did not give him a good look at all. “Mr. Barnwell, are you so free?” “I also
have an investment in this reality show.” Hank raised his wrist and let her sit down to chat.

Lyra only nodded and did not respond.
Hank stared at her and his thin lips parted, “Do you have anything to ask me?”
For example, the news about the Barnwell group, and his rtionship with Ellie. Lyra seemed to have
been reminded. She tilted her head to look at him and smiled. “Yes, has the prize for the first ce in
thepetition been decided yet? Is it a bonus or a chance to cooperate with Mr. Carson?”
Obviously, this question was not what the man expected. “Which one do you want?” He said in a low
tone, and he was a little unhappy. Lyra took a sip of coffee. It was a little bitter. She frowned. “It tastes
really bad. It’s better to have instant coffee.” Looking at her disgusted eyes, Hank said coldly, “This is
the coffee you drank with Xuanze the other day. Didn’t youugh very happily at that time? Now, you
don’t like it anymore. Miss Jones, your taste has be really fast.”
“I didn’t expect you to have this kind of hobby. You stalked, spied on me, and now you’ve interfered in
the design world. No wonder those messy news about the Barnwell group are exposed over and over
again.” Lyra said indifferently. He originally thought that her words would make the man in front of him
even angrier. However, a faint smile appeared on his face.
“You have seen the news about the Barnwell group and about me.”
Lyra really did not understand what he was happy about. She said coldly, “It was all privately sent by
mobile phone software without my permission. I have no hobby of peeping at your lives. Also, even if
you invest in thispetition, I have no obligation to sit here and chat with you.” After she finished
speaking, she got up and was about to leave.
“Yourpetitors are all thinking of ways to deal with you. Do you want to cooperate with me? I can let
you win.” Hank keenly grasped the focus of her attention just now. “As for the reward for the
His words sessfully hit Lyra’s soft spot. She wanted to win and wanted to get the chance to
cooperate with Mr. Carson!
Lyra pursed her lips and her brain worked quickly. She had indeed already shed all pretense of
cordiality with Nina. Moreover, she did not intend to ept the contract with JD.
Although thatpany was famous in the industry, she had long heard of some rumors. It was not as
morous as it seemed on the surface. Looking at the interaction between Javier and Nina, she could
guess something. She just wanted to do the design in peace and did not want to get involved in this
mess.
Hank was not in a hurry. The look he showed was like a fox that had caught its prey. “How do we
cooperate?”
Lyra turned around and stared at Hank in a daze. “Jealousy over me.” “What?”
Ten minutester.
The two of them walked out of the office together. Mr. Carson’s assistant came over to wee them
with a smile. “Mr. Barnwell, why didn’t you tell us in advance that you wereing? We’ve already
prepared some tea. Mr. Carson will be here soon.” “No need. I just came to see her. I’m leaving now,”
Hank said with a faint smile.
His tone was so ambiguous. The assistant was stunned for two seconds before he nodded and said,
“Okay, then… I’ll send you off.” “I’ll go back first. You focus on thepetition.” Hank said warmly, still
smiling. Lyra looked at his face and felt that she could not suppress the anger in her chest. He was
simply a madman.
However, what he had just said still lingered in her ears. “Cooperate with me and show me great
concern and love. Of course, you can also refuse. The consequence is that you have no chance tost
until the end of thepetition.”
A tant threat!
“Be careful on your way.” Lyra gritted her teeth and stared at him.
Carson’s assistant was listening from the side the entire time… Hank smiled in satisfaction. After he
left, he had someone send coffee and ice cream to everyone.
The news that he was flirting with Lyra began to spread among the contestants.
In the car.
Keith reported thetest news. “Vice President bought Dingyi Group’s shares in his own name.
However, he did not buy much.”
“Continue to observe. Second Uncle has always been patient. He won’t act rashly if he doesn’t set up
the bait.” Hank undid the buttons on the cor of his shirt. Thinking about how Lyra had looked at him
angrily just now, he chuckled. “Keith, don’t worry. Send someone to bring Lyra three meals a day for the
next few days. Try to make the scene as big as possible. It’s best if everyone knows.”
“Got it,” Keith nodded. Although doing this would stimte Miss Hunter and the Vice President so that
they could reveal their intentions as soon as possible… However, no matter how Keith thought about it,
he felt that Hank had ulterior motives.
