Chapter 421


    Chapter 421 Too Cold Outside


    No matter what Lyra did, no matter how much she hit his back, the man did not hesitate at all.


    The reporters seemed to have caught onto some explosive news, and the cameras almost snapped


    onto their faces.


    “Mr. Barnwell, the case is still under investigation. Can you leave now?”


    “I heard that Miss Jones is one of the suspects. What exactly happened?” The shing lights kept


    shing. Lyra red at the man beside her.


    He was not clear-headed but he insisted on pulling her into the water. She wanted to return to the


    interrogation room, but her wrist was tightly held by him. He had leaned over and held her into his


    arms. “Everyone, she is very tired today. I don’t want to be interviewed either before the investigation is


    clear. Please make way.” This had been his best attitude in front of the media reporters. For a moment,


    the reporters were stunned, but they still made their way. Hank nodded slightly and walked out with


    Lyra. Looking at their backs, all the reporters felt a hint, “The news circting in the outside world is all


    fake. It is impossible for Hank Barnwell to have anything to do with other women. Even if there is such


    a woman, the person he loves the most is still Lyra.” For a moment, the news that had hyped them up


    before was pushed to the forefront.


    After Lyra got in the car, she frowned and red at him.


    “How could you…” Halfway through her words, she forcefully sighed. She should have been mentally


    prepared for this. From the beginning to the end, this man was a cold blooded and ruthless bastard. His


    voice was cold, and he asked indifferently, “Shall I send you back now?” Knowing that she had been


    used by him again, Lyra gritted her teeth and said, “I want to go home.” “Sean, drive.” The car slowly


    drove forward. Lyra was so angry that her face was cold. Pada. Hank threw her phone over.


    Lyra was wondering why her phone was with him when Nore called. “Lyra, are you okay? Hank went to


    pick you up, right?”


    “How did you know?” Lyra frowned and nced over at him. After listening to Nore talk about the whole


    thing, her eyebrows knitted tighter and tighter. Alma was missing. Without contact with her agent, she


    had disappeared into thin air. It happened on the second day she went to the Barnwell group, and even


    the Kensley family did not know where she went. Hank had secretly got someone to investigate and


    found that Alma had met Ellie Hunter.


    After that, Nore returned to the country. He found that Ellie was not the little girl who had lived next to


    the Jones family.


    She was an impostor.


    The little girl had died from drowning more than ten years ago. It was Ellie’s biological parents who had


    yed such a drama in order to make her a rich daughter.


    After Ellie joined the designpetition as a judge, Hank added more investment to thepetition.


    Nore also found that Jiang Feina of LKD had gone to see Ellie. Assuming that they hade to an


    agreement, the ident this time was definitely not as simple as it looked


    “When this contestant had an ident, you became one of the most suspicious people, but I think their


    n is not over yet.”


    Thepetition had been forced to stop. All the contestants had to be investigated. As long as there


    was any news in this… Lyra took a deep breath, her fingers gripping her phone tightly, her face pale.


    “Nore, help me look for her. Nothing must happen to her.” “Don’t worry, I will look for her carefully. You


    need to take care of yourself.” From the beginning, this had been a premeditated n.


    Jiang Feina had deliberately revealed the news that Mr. Carson had returned to the country. Lyra had


    walked right into the trap and participated in thispetition.


    She put down her phone, her hands shaking violently.


    Her throat was dry, and even swallowing saliva made her throat hurt.


    A hand reached over from the side, and the temperature of the palm made her unconsciously calm


    down. He knew very well what she was thinking. “Now, you can me me for using you. If you are


    angry, you can hit me too,” he said,


    narrowing his eyes. Lyra frowned, not wanting to talk to him. “If you miss this opportunity, I won’t


    tolerate your temperter.” After the car stabilized, he pushed open the door and walked toward the


    Jones family’s door before Lyra got off. “Where are you going?” Lyra followed him. “Thewyer just


    forgot to tell you that I was the one who bailed you out. From now on, until the case is clear, I will be


    your direct guardian, so of course, I will follow you closely.”


    He said it very clearly. When Lyra realized it, it was already toote. She watched the man standing at


    the door, looking back at her. “I didn’t ask you to bail me out,” Lyra said through gritted teeth. She had


    tried so hard to draw a clear line with him, but why did he have toe close to her? Even if Nore had


    asked him to help, he could have refused. Obviously, the Barnwell group had already had so many

    things to worry about. Lyra moved forward, very slowly The coldness between the man’s eyebrows


    increased a little, but his eyes still fell on her. He opened his mouth without any warmth. “If only you


    could be so ungrateful to others, especially Xuanze Evans. Keep that in mind.”

    “Open the door. It’s too cold outside. I’m wearing too little.” He ordered as if this was his home. Lyra


    looked at the suit and coat on his body, then looked at the thinyer of clothing on her body. “Mr.


    Barnwell really knows how to take care of himself.” In this situation, she did not want to be in a


    deadlock with him. Otherwise, she would only suffer. She had to go home first to drink some water, and


    then think about what to do next. “Turn around.” Lyra walked to the front of the smart lock and looked


    back at him warily. “Mr. Barnwell is too curious about other people’s privacy. I have to be wary.” The


    man smiled and turned away. Lyra quickly pressed the password and opened the door. Before she


    could open her mouth, the man had already stepped in. His movements


    were so fast that he seemed to be afraid that she would go back on her words. Lyra shook her head


    helplessly and closed the door. “I’ve been busy for a few hours. I’m hungry. What’s in the fridge?” He


    naturally took off his coat and changed into his shoes. His actions were like he was in his own home.


    However, he only said that but did not do anything. Instead, he stared at Lyra. “What do you mean


    now? Not only do you want to stay at my house, but you also want me to prepare supper for you?” Lyra


    was really speechless.


    Hank still looked indifferent. “So, do you want to eat the dishes I cook? That’s fine.”


    The man rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen.
