Chapter 426


    Chapter 426 Pretending to Be Innocent


    “I heard that a lot of things have happened in yourpany recently. If you need help, you can ask at


    any time.” Shengkun directly threw out the bait. This was the confidence of the Dingyi Group. Only


    absolute capital would have dared to say such words. Anyone else would have probably been very


    happy and epted it. However, the person they met was Hank Barnwell.


    “Thank you for your concern, Mr. Hunter, but it hasn’t reached that stage yet,” he said with a deep


    smile. He casually turned down the Hunters’ goodwill. Shengkun started to be confused. “We haven’t


    returned to the country for a long time. Recently, things have changed a lot. If you have time these


    days, can you show us around, so that we can understand each other more?” Shengkun snorted softly,


    holding the cup of tea and not saying a word. Ellie’s heart tightened, and she looked nervously at the


    man beside her. At this moment, the waiter came over and carried a te of mango.


    “Did you order this?” Mrs. Hunter felt that it was really rude to have such a dish in such a high-end


    restaurant.


    “It must be wrong. I will deal with it.” Ellie immediately said.


    However, before she could get up, the waiter smiled and said, “This was given to Mr. Barnwell by


    another customer. She said she hoped that Mr. Barnwell would seed in everything.”


    Was it Hank’s friend?


    The couple looked at each other and did not ask further. But Ellie frowned and did not speak for a long


    time.


    “Ellie,e with me to the bathroom.” Mrs. Hunter could no longer sit still. She stood up and said this.


    Ellie nodded obediently and the two of them walked side by side. Lyra saw the opportunity and stood


    up to follow them.


    “Where are you going?” Xuanze stopped her. “I am going for revenge.” Lyra said before she bypassed


    him and followed them.


    Xuanze was frowning and looking in the direction where Hank was sitting. He happened to see a


    meaningful smile on his face. Even He had known it?


    He even let Lyra do as she pleased.


    A sense of helplessness struck him. Who was the one who set up the trap between the two of them? In


    the bathroom, Mrs. Hunter gave Ellie a look. Ellie immediately confirmed that there was no one inside.


    “Mommy, this matter.”


    A crisp pnded on her face.


    “It’s been more than a week since you returned to China, but you still haven’t taken down this man?


    How far have you developed? Are you his woman?” “Mommy, we haven’t done that yet,” Ellie said,


    blushing. “Do you not understand what I mean? I’ve already told you very clearly over the phone. Hank


    is your best marriage partner. If you can’t handle him yourself, then go abroad and get married.” Ellie’s


    heart skipped a beat. She understood too well what this meant.


    “Mommy, don’t worry. Although he has been divorced for a while, he has not gotten out of thest


    rtionship. I am already getting close to him. I will definitely find a chance.”


    “Last rtionship? What kind of feelings does a person like him have? Are the Hunters not enough to


    be your trump card? If not for your pretty appearance, I wouldn’t have recognized you back then. After


    so many years, the money the Hunters spent on you is enough to open tenpanies.” Ellie could


    only bite the corner of her lips and get scolded. “Forget it, it’s useless to say anything to a dog that


    doesn’t know how to bite.” Mrs. Hunter snorted in disgust and turned on the tap to wash her hands.


    She had never treated Ellie as a daughter.


    She said that she had spent tenpanies’ worth on her. Heh, but when she first went to the Hunters,


    the food she ate had been worse than a dog.


    Now, seeing that she had some value, she changed her face.


    Ellie clenched her hands under her sleeves tightly. She had to turn over no matter what price she had


    to pay.


    “Alright, hurry up and go back. In a while, tell him that your father and I will go back to the room to rest,


    and we will meet again next time.” Mrs. Hunter also did not want to give up such a good son-inw like


    Hank. The most important thing was his ability and the Barnwell group’s property. It was worth it to


    exchange an illegitimate daughter for all of this. “Mommy, over here…” Ellie had just said this when two


    cleaners with fire hydras rushed in from the door. Without saying anything, they immediately sprayed


    out.


    “Ah!”


    “What’s going on? What are you doing? Stop!” By the time they quieted down, the two of them had


    already been sprayed with white foam and were in a sorry state. The two cleaners were also stunned.


    “Didn’t they say that there was a fire here?” Lyra stood at the door, took out her phone, took a photo,


    and then returned to her seat. The dishes had already been served. “Are you alright?” Xuanze was still


    a little worried. Lyra shook her head and picked up her chopsticks. “I’m starving. Hurry up and try it. It


    should taste good. Otherwise, the price of the dishes would not be so expensive.”


    Xuanze smiled helplessly. It was rare that she could still joke under such circumstances.


    “Okay, I will try it.”


    Unlike the atmosphere at their table, that at the next table was extremely serious, as if they were in a


    meeting. Shengkun wanted to open his mouth several times to try out Hank’s attitude towards Ellie, but


    he could not find a breakthrough. “Why did they go to the bathroom for so long?” He kept looking at his


    watch. Hank picked up the teacup and said lightly, “Maybe, they are in some trouble.” When Shengkun


    was frowning and puzzled, he saw Mrs. Hunter walking over with a face full of anger, followed by Ellie.


    Both of them had changed their clothes, and their hair had be very strange. “What’s going on?”


    “Don’t ask, someone was deliberately looking for trouble. Let’s go back to the room!” The two of them


    were very disappointed with this meeting. They walked into the elevator with cold faces. Ellie stood


    there, clutching her phone tightly. She walked over to Lyra and asked, “What did I do to you? Why did


    you treat me like this?” Lyra was eating ribs. She looked up in confusion. “Hey, Ellie, you are here too?


    What a


    coincidence!” “Stop pretending. What do you mean by sending me this photo?” Ellie hadn’t suspected


    her at first, but when she saw this photo, she understood everything. It was Lyra who had done it. She


    still pretended that nothing had happened, which was simply hateful. If Lyra were to argue with her


    openly or question her rtionship with Hank, she would have a method to deal with her, but now, she

    was helpless.


    A good daughter of a rich family had been forced to go upstairs and change her clothes.


    Ever since she entered the Hunters, she had never been bullied like this. However, Lyra still had an


    innocent look on her face. “I thought that the picture was very funny, so I took it and sent it to you. I


    thought that this person was a bit like you. I didn’t expect that it was really you!”
