Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit -
Chapter 183
Chapter 183 Not Accepting His Kindness
Lyra wore a cap and walked into the cargo ladder, openly entering the Barnwell group. No one stopped her. Lyra glanced around and saw a short and stout man who was bald in the distance. It was him. Yesterday in Hank's villa, she saw very clearly that the man's head was reflecting light. She had investigated the Barnwell group's layout. The meeting room was on this floor. In other words, there might be a board meeting today. These old guys would probably gather together against Hank.
Lyra lowered her head and walked over. She just happened to see the door of the tea room open, and the corners of her lips rose. "I have no choice. My luck is just so good."
"Mr. Barnwell, someone sneaked into the company." When Keith received the report, he immediately went to the office. "Speak." The man saw that he wanted to say something but hesitated, and his eyebrows furrowed. "Director Li and Director Bai were sent to the hospital because of food poisoning. They checked the surveillance video and found that before the meeting, someone had sneaked into the tea room and changed their tea leaves."
This was the negligence of the security department. Keith had already sent people to investigate in time. The Barnwell group's investigation speed had always been very fast, but he could not make the decision because of the intruder's identity.
A cold light flashed between Hank's eyes, and a name came out from his lips. "Lyra Jones?"
"Yes." Keith lowered his head. "Send someone to the hospital to check on them. For the time being..." Before he could finish, Director Bai's assistant knocked on the door in a hurry. "Mr. Barnwell, Director Bai has woken up. He said that he saw a suspect when the incident happened. It was your ex-wife, Lyra." After the assistant finished speaking, he did not dare to look at Hank's gloomy face. He was still holding a mobile phone in his hand, talking on the phone.
Hank didn't need to ask to know who the person was.
He put down the pen and raised his hand. Before the assistant could react, Keith had already turned around and handed the phone to Hank.
"Keith, you must tell Mr. Barnwell. I saw it very clearly. It was that woman. She must have taken revenge on me because of the Cosmos Corporation! I will definitely not let this matter go. I will pursue this matter to the end." On the other side, Chairman Bai did not know that he was talking to someone else already and was still cursing in exasperation. "That slut, she still thinks that she can make a comeback? I will definitely not let her continue to stay in Cloud Town." "Chairman Bai, are you done?" Hank opened his mouth, his voice full of coldness.
"Mr. Barnwell?" Chairman Bai was suddenly stunned. "Mr. Barnwell, you have to help us. Old Li and I are already so old, we can't stand such a torment. Food poisoning is not a small matter. The doctor said that our situation is very dangerous."
These words were obviously to force him to investigate the matter. Hank turned around and looked at the city scenery outside the window. "Chairman Bai is full of energy. He doesn't seem to be in any trouble at all." "... ahem, I was angry." "Rest well in the hospital. You don't have to worry about other things for the time being." The man's eyes were as cold as ice. "Anything else?" Before Chairman Bai could react, the phone had already been hung up. Hank threw the phone over and walked straight out of the office. Assistant Xiao Zhang was confused. He followed behind Keith and asked in a low voice, "Keith, what does Mr. Barnwell mean?" Keith glanced at his ignorant face and said lightly, "What he means is, let Chairman Bai stay in the hospital for a few more days and recuperate. Don't worry about anything else." "Anything else?" Xiao Zhang blinked. "It means he shouldn't do any business." For example, if a reporter went to interview him, he would not talk about it. For example, whether Cosmos Corporation would return it to Lyra or not had nothing to do with him.
All in all, it was to make him and Director Li shut up and take care of themselves. "Has she left now?" Hank entered the elevator and asked when he saw Keith follow him in. "Probably, not yet." Keith replied without any confidence. He also did not understand. Lyra had done this kind of thing and did not quickly slip out. Would she still stay in the Barnwell group and wait to be caught? "Open all the exits in the parking lot and turn off the surveillance system for the time being." Hank raised his hand and pressed his bow tie. Keith immediately nodded.
Mr. Barnwell was letting her go. At this time, Lyra was hiding at the side door of the parking lot. This was a blind spot. She was waiting for the chance for the security guards to change shifts, so she could sneak
out
In fact, she could have left long ago, but she wanted to see how the directors left in a panic.
Five or six minutes later, two security guards walked into the building together. Lyra clapped her hands. She knew that the opportunity had come. But then, the door of the entrance to the parking lot opened together. She turned around and saw that the surveillance cameras were also turned off. Lyra immediately frowned. Hank already knew? And he even let her go so arrogantly. She refused to accept Hank's good intentions. She turned around and wanted to take the elevator upstairs. She went out of the first floor of the Barnwell group. However, just as she was about to move, a car stopped beside her.
The car window rolled down, and a cold side profile appeared. "Get in."
Lyra did not move.
"They might have already called the police. Why aren't you leaving? Are you planning to go in and drink tea?" He glanced over, his eyes cold. "There's no need for you to pretend to be kind." Lyra frowned awkwardly and lowered the brim of her hat.
She walked out on foot. Hank's car was following her from behind. It was as if he had predicted that she would go back on her words. The moment Lyra opened the car door, she clearly saw a smile flash across the man's lips.
"I want to hide from the reporters." Before she even left the parking lot, she could already see the reporters surrounding the Barnwell group's door.
Lyra closed the car door and said with a cold face, "I really don't know what big news is there." "You should be very clear about this matter." The man turned the steering wheel and drove out of the Barnwell group from the side door while the reporters were not paying attention. She was clear? Lyra thought for a moment. Perhaps it was because of the matter of the Jones Corporation. If Hank gave the company back to her, those greedy directors would definitely try their best to pressure him. Lyra looked out the window and asked slowly, "You can tell them that the company was given in exchange of Terry's reputation. If not for the fact that Terry was in cahoots with Director Forrest, I wouldn't have won so easily." Hank looked at the road ahead and did not make a sound. Seeing that he did not probe anything, Lyra stopped asking. With Hank's temper, he should not know the relationship between Terry and Alma. Lyra tilted her head and began to look forward to that day. Soon, Hank parked the car downstairs of the apartment. "Is this Nore's house?" she asked directly as she opened the door to leave.
