Chapter 208 Climbing Over the Wall

Sister Zhang saw how angry she was and leaned out to take a look. Lyra held several company termination books in her hands, and the dates were two years ago. Logically speaking, these things should have been disposed of long ago, but they had been delayed until now and no one had solved them. Why did they come to replace her at this time? Apart from Hank who could do this behind the scenes, who else could do it? "Ms. Jones, you don't have to be so excited. We also know that it has been a long time, and the sum is huge. It is hard for you to accept it for a while. At eight o'clock tonight, my boss is holding a banque at Juhai Restaurant. Perhaps Ms. Jones will replace a solution when the time comes. The person who came to deliver these things was a young man in a suit, who spoke politely "Who is your boss?"

"This, it is temporarily inconvenient to tell Ms. Jones. You will know when you attend the banquet tonight.”

Lyra watched as the other party turned around and left. She pursed her lips and seemed to be deep in thought. Could this person have been sent by Hank? No, he did not have to beat around the bush. But for this person to be able to replace her here, it was very likely that it was someone who understood the grudges between the Jones family and Barnwell family. Moreover, this news should have already reached Hank's ears. "Miss Jones, are you going tonight?" Sister Zhang was a little worried. The corners of Lyra's mouth slowly twitched, and she directly threw the contract termination books into the trash can. "Of course not." Sister Zhang could not react in time. She was still thinking about how to persuade Lyra. After all, Hank had told her not to leave the villa before he went on a business trip. Lyra smiled. "Sister Zhang, although I am impulsive when I do things, I am not stupid. There is no need to go to such a banquet." "What do we eat?" Lyra said as she stretched.

"Crucian soup, and..." Sister Zhang hurriedly went into the kitchen to do her work. Lyra stood where she was and her smile gradually faded.

She did not expect that at this time, the person who cared about her the most was actually the Barnwell family's servant.

She could not bear to let Sister Zhang worry about her. She lowered her eyes and glanced at the trash can. Lyra looked away expressionlessly. They had prepared so well that they must have a backup plan. If she did not go today, the other party would still come to her. They would definitely not be so easy to deal with next time.

Lyra had kept her word and had stayed at the Barnwell family's villa to watch TV that night. There was a sudden flash of lightning outside the window. After a clap of thunder, the whole villa fell into darkness. "There should be no electricity. I'll go replace the candles." Sister Zhang immediately took the flashlight and went to the storeroom. Lyra sat on the sofa and looked outside in a trance. There were several figures passing by in the courtyard. "Who?" Another bolt of lightning appeared in the sky. The courtyard was quiet, as if she had seen wrongly. "Miss Jones, I only found two candles. Let me send you back to your room first." Lyra retracted her gaze and headed for the stairs. When she entered the room, Sister Zhang left. The whole villa was filled with a dark and lonely feeling. Lyra listened to the rain outside the window and frowned. This rainy night pulled her memories back to the day when her father had an accident. The memory was like a brand, engraved in her heart. The Jones family's door was smashed. They broke into the house like crazy, smashed things, hit people... Even now, the chaotic scene still made her feel angry. The phone suddenly lit up. It was a message from an unknown number. "Miss Jones, you will regret it that you haven't come tonight."

Was it Mr. Qin?

The boss of the person who had sent the contract termination today.

While Lyra was still hesitating about how to reply, the other party sent another

message.

It was a photo. There were seven men and two women in the photo. They were all business celebrities. Her father, Drake, was one of them!

"Time flew. In the blink of an eye, Mr. Jones has been gone for two years. It seemed to be raining on the day of the Jones family's accident too." Who the hell was he?

Lyra immediately took out her phone and dialed the number, but no one answered. She kept calling, but the other party never answered. "Who are you? What are you trying to do?" Lyra sent a message. However, there was no reply until noon the next day. "Miss Jones, why don't you eat something?" After waking up, Lyra had not eaten anything. She looked at her phone from time to time. "No need, Sister Zhang. I'm not hungry." Rather than saying that she was not hungry, it was better to say that she could not eat.

She always had a very bad feeling, and she had to admit that the person who was watching her from behind the scenes seemed to be more sophisticated than Hank. Lyra had a feeling of being controlled for no reason. Sister Zhang sighed, "How can you not eat anything? If Sir comes back and replaces out, he will definitely..." "When will Hank come back?"

A thought suddenly popped up in Lyra's mind. "It should be tomorrow night." Lyra muttered to herself and returned to her room with her phone. "Should I tell Sir about this?" Sister Zhang sighed. At this time, at the overseas hotel.

Hank had a meeting for the whole day. When he returned to his room, he saw a message from Lachlan. He advised him to go back as soon as possible and pick Alma up from the hospital. Otherwise, he would bear the consequences.

The man stared at the phone screen and skipped to the next message.

He hated being threatened the most.

The Kensley family always had to step on his bottom line to test his patience.

At this moment, Sister Zhang called. A beautiful face appeared in Hank's mind. He frowned and pressed the answer button.

"Sir, Miss Jones has run away over the wall."

"She ran away?" The man's voice was full of anger. "Where can she run to? Get someone to catch her."

"I saw a lot of blood on the windowsill. She seemed to have broken the glass and jumped downstairs. Will she be all right?" Sister Zhang was very worried.

She only regretted having not gone upstairs to take a look earlier. Otherwise, she should have been able to stop Lyra. On the other side of the line, the man's eyes suddenly turned cold. But when he was abou to blurt out the words, he suddenly thought of something. "Got it. I will go back and deal with it." "But..." The more Sister Zhang thought about it, the more worried she felt. "Sir, should we send someone out to look for her?" "Look for her? She must be very well. The blood may not be hers." Hank's voice was extremely cold. He only said this one sentence before hanging up the phone. Sister Zhang stood by the window, and her thoughts became heavier.

In a small shop a few hundred meters away from the Barnwell family's villa. Lyra was slowly enjoying her midnight snack. After eating and drinking, she took out her phone and looked at it again. Then, her thin figure disappeared into the night. The bright moon was in the sky, of course, it was a good day to go to the hospital for a visit. Although the Barnwell family's bodyguards had all been withdrawn, in order to prevent outsiders from approaching Alma's ward, Director Lee had sent extra people on this floor. It was indeed a little difficult to enter without anyone noticing. Fang Forrest sighed, "I was too naive before. In this situation, I may not be able to secretly bring you in." She was annoyed that she could not help Lyra.

"Who said I was going to sneak in?" Lyra smiled indifferently.
