Chapter 560 Escape
“Let’s talk about itter.” Rae looked at him and her eyes flickered slightly. “Old Zeng, I’ll treat you to a
meal to thank you.” The Barnwell Group had finally managed to get through this difficulty, which made
Rae feel relieved. If not for Jackie Zeng’s help, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly. Moreover, they
should have a lot to say tonight and she didn’t want to be a third wheel. When Jackie heard this, he
smiled happily. “Alright, alright, alright. What do you want to eat?” As long as Rae did not leave or hide
from him, he could do anything. “Let’s find a ce to drink. I wonder if that tavern is still open.” Rae

looked at the riverbank in the distance. “It’s still open. I went there a few days ago.”Jackie knew which
one she was talking about. “It’s been so many years, but you still remember it.” Rae’s eyes softened. “I
won’t forget what you like even in my next life.” Jackie put on his seatbelt and stepped on the
elerator. What he did not know was that Rae had other ns. In the dead of the night, Rae returned
to the Jones family with a strong scent of wine. She thought that there would be no one at home. At this
time, Lyra should be at the Barnwell family. Unexpectedly, before she turned on the lights, the crystal
chandelier in the Jones family’s living room lit up. On the sofa in the living room, Lyra sat upright. “Aunt,
were you trying to hide from me so you stayed outside until sote?” Rae’s heart skipped a beat. “Lyra,
you misunderstood me. Why should I hide from you? I met a few old friends and chatted until now.”
Rae pretended to be the same as usual and yawned as she walked into the room. However, as she
walked, Lyra’s gaze never left her. “Auntie, how did you meet Uncle Zeng?” Lyra asked. What should
lightly and turned around. Even now, she was still unwilling to tell the truth! “Then should I help you
recall?” Lyra sighed helplessly. “You have known each other for sixteen years. It was because of him
that you went to a foreign country.” Rae’s expression froze a little. “You already know, and you are still
asking me?” “Auntie, you don’t have to do this for me,” Lyra said, pressing her forehead helplessly. In
fact, what Lyra didn’t understand was, in order to protect the Barnwell Group and the Jones Group,
Rae had made such a great sacrifice. No matter what had happened in the past, Rae had been gone
for so many years and had gotten married abroad. Now that she had returned home alone and had not
contacted any old friends, it was enough to see that she did not want to have anything to do with this
ce. However, for them, she made an exception. Rae raised her head and met Lyra’s gaze. She
waved her hand and said, “Alright, alright. I just asked casually and he was willing to help. It’s that
simple.” Since she had decided not to say anything, Lyra could only let it be. “Auntie, have a cup of
sobering tea.” Seeing that they had finished chatting, Hank came out of the kitchen. However, when
Rae heard the way he addressed her, her beautiful eyes widened. “What did you call me?” she asked.
“…” Before Hank could speak again, Rae had already started nagging in dissatisfaction. “Although I
asked my old friend to invest in yourpany, it doesn’t mean that I agree to your re-marriage.” She
drank the tea that Hank had brewed and
even took the fruit that Hank had washed, but she kept nagging about Hank. “You are lucky this time. If
you be a pauper, I will never let Lyra associate with you again. Don’t dream of bing the
Jones family’s son-inw. You are not worthy to be a gigolo.” Rae said as she waved her hand. The
smell of alcohol filled the room. “Aunt, you should go back to the room first.” Hank frowned slightly. He
did not want Lyra to faint from the smell. Rae yawned. “Okay, then I won’t disturb you.” She went
upstairs with the fruit. Lyra sat on the sofa and sighed weakly. “In order to avoid being
questioned, Aunt had actually made herself drunk.” She was the only one who coulde up with this
idea. Hank naturally helped her peel the apple. “Everyone has a past that they don’t want to mention.
Perhaps, it would be better if we pretend that we don’t know anything.” Lyra knew the reason. If not for
Jackie’s ex-wife and daughter havinge to her, she would not interfere with Rae’s private life. After
all, Rae was her elder and she had no right to criticize her. “Don’t work too hard on this.” Hank cut the
apple into pieces and ced it in front of her. Then, he raised his watch. “You’re alreadyte today. You
have another half an hour before going to bed.” Lyra sighed helplessly. The next morning, Lyra was
woken up by a ringtone. The person who called was Jackie’s daughter, Leni Zeng. As soon as the
call connected, the other side cursed, “I don’t care what methods you used. Return my dad’s money to
me immediately. Otherwise, you can just wait to receive thewyer’s letter!” Lyra pressed between her
eyebrows. She had never expected that one day, she would be threatened like this. However, taking
into consideration the other party’s identity and Jackie’s help to the Barnwell Group, she was still
patient and said slowly, “Miss Zeng, I should have told you about this before. Uncle Zeng is just…” “My
dad has nothing to do with you. It was your shameless aunt who deceived my dad’s feelings. What
project of yours is worth hundreds of millions?” The voice on the phone was very noisy. Although Lyra
had just woken up, she was already a little dizzy from the noise. “Miss Zeng, if there is anything,e
to the Barnwell Group to talk about it. If you call me again, I will find awyer to deal with it.” “You…”
Before Leni finished, Hank hung up the phone directly. Lyra felt that the whole world was quiet. “You
are good.” “Let’s eat first.” Hank subconsciously helped her up, but just as his hand reached over, he
found that her body was particrly hot. Then, he reached his hand to her forehead. “Put on your
clothes and go to the hospital.” “You don’t have to make such a fuss, do you? I am hot because I just
woke up.” Lyra grabbed him with both hands.
