Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit
Chapter 121

Chapter 121 She Didn't Provoke Him

Hearing Lyra's name, those rich ladies were obviously less excited. "Her? MON's standard is really getting worse and worse." "I heard that she and her ex-husband..."

"I think I saw Alma come just now. Is that Hank also here?" This kind of gossip was the easiest to arouse people's curiosity. When the walk was halfway through, Alma was so anxious that she was about to cry in the toilet. "Hank, I'm begging you. Come and pick me up! I feel my stomach hurts." This was not the first time she had talked about her child. On the other side, Hank had just finished the meeting and was walking out of the company. When he heard the voice from his Bluetooth headset, his eyebrows furrowed and his cold face sank. "I'll get the driver to pick you up." "No, Hank, come here personally, okay?" Alma was almost begging him, her voice extremely humble. Halfway through, she heard footsteps outside and quickly hung up the phone. The call suddenly ended, and Hank frowned.

Jasper had already made an appointment with him early in the morning, and he had just driven over. Seeing that his expression was not right, he asked casually, "What's the matter?"

"Accompany me to a place, Keith. You can get off work first."

"Yes, Mr. Barnwell."

Then, a super sports car drove out of the Barnwell group's parking lot. The sound of the engine swept across the street. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the show, they saw the photos and names on the poster.

"Lyra is also here?" Jasper felt that things were not so simple. Hank frowned and walked up the stairs. "It's been more than a year. Why can't she learn the lesson?" Jasper shook his head. If Alma knew how to read people's minds, or how to please Hank, she would have already taken the position of the hostess of the Barnwell group. But she still held on to Lyra.

Jasper followed Hank in. The walk show was coming to an end, and all the designers and models went on stage together.

The audience was full of applause. MON's performance was obviously good. "I think the part of the bracelet is really good. It's very new." "Lyra is indeed talented." Hank stopped in his tracks. His gaze could no help but be attracted by the figure on the stage. She stood in the spotlight with a quiet and gentle smile on her face. Her eyes were shining brightly. That was the real Lyra.

She was so dazzling and proud. Even among those models and actresses, she was not inferior at all.

Their gazes seemed to meet at that moment.

The man raised his eyebrows slightly but found that Lyra didn't seem to notice him at all. She did not quickly look away but looked indifferent.

The fists under his sleeves slowly tightened. He saw someone walk over from the side and go on stage to deliver flowers to the designers. The one walking at the front was actually Nore! He took off his baseball cap in front of everyone and smiled as he presented a bouquet of flowers. "Lyra, congratulations."

ra's hand froze in mid-air and she could not help but reveal a surprised smile. "Why are you here? Why didn't you tell me!" "Sorry, I came late."

Lyra did not say anything. She would explain things to Nore, but this occasion was not suitable.

"Thank you, designers and models. Please rest for a while. Our auction will begin immediately! Tonight, we will auction the masterpiece of five jewelry designers..."

As all the designers stepped down, Nore also followed Lyra. Hank stared at the back of the two of them, a nameless fire rising in his heart.

"Hank."

"Hank, thank you for coming to pick me up." Hank glanced at her and slowly pulled his hand out. "Didn't I tell you don't go to crowded places?" As a pregnant woman, she should understand such a basic thing. As for Alma, she was too eager to achieve quick success and gain benefits. She was going to use her identity as Mrs. Barnwell to show off everywhere. He had long known about it. It was just that he did not stop her. Alma pursed her lips and said delicately, "I'm sorry, Hank. ...”

"Does your stomach hurt? Let's go now." Hank turned around and was about to leave. However, how could Alma let go of such a good opportunity?

"Hank, they just said that there is an auction. Let's stay and watch for a while, okay? Just a while," Alma said with a smile.

Jasper could feel Hank's displeasure from the side. However, Alma refused to let Hank go and dragged him to the start of the auction. Jasper watched as Hank was pulled to the seat and sat down by her. He helplessly held his forehead. Even his friend could tell that Hank did not like her at all. If not for Alma being pregnant, perhaps... When this thought came to mind, Jasper immediately coughed. He was like those people and became so gossipy.

The designers also came out from backstage. Lyra was still following Nore. He had been looking for an opportunity to explain to Lyra. However, Lyra did not respond. Her attention was on the stage, so Nore had to suppress those words. "Why don't we sit here?" Lyra nodded. As soon as she sat down, she felt a sharp gaze. She turned her head and s that Hank was staring at her. She was stunned. Did she offend him? Lyra frowned and turned around. Her attitude was still very distant. Hank tapped his knee with his finger. That was the action he would often do before he got angry.

Jasper noticed it, but Alma was full of satisfaction as she thought about how to show off their love and let everyone present know that she was the real Mrs. Barnwell. She did not notice the change in Hank's mood at all. "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for waiting. Next, please take out our first item. It is the work of our MON company's chief designer, Yun Xi. He did not participate in the big show today, it is a pity." "This is a diamond necklace..." "The starting price is three hundred thousand."

As soon as the host finished speaking, someone started bidding. Soon, the necklace auction was successful. "The next one is the bracelet that Miss Zhang Min just showed us. It perfectly explains our theme tonight. It is comparable to the eyes of the queen that shine like stars. Although its value is not comparable to King's Heart, it is also a proud work of

our company." "The starting price is five hundred thousand." Lyra only reacted at this time. No wonder the bracelet looked familiar. It turned out that it was also made by the same person who designed King's Heart. "This is the part you are responsible for, right?" Nore suddenly leaned over and asked, Lyra agreed.

The next second, he immediately raised his card. "Six hundred thousand."

"" want to buy it?" Lyra was stunned.

"Yes, I'll give it to you." Nore's eyes were filled with determination. "I don't want it," Lyra rejected subconsciously. "Other than money, I don't know what else you lack. Moreover, I don't seem to have anything else." Nore sighed. Lyra was amused by his deliberate expression. "Your mother will kill you."

"Are you not angry?" Before Lyra could answer, a voice came from behind, "Seven hundred thousand."

It was Hank!
