Chapter 217 Wait for Him to Come Back

Before Lyra could finish speaking, Sean came over and interrupted them. "Madam, it's getting late. It's time to go to the banquet." Sean smiled and gave Lyra a meaningful look. His expression seemed to indicate that he didn't want her to continue. "Auntie, why don't you go and mind your business first? I'm going to buy something too." Lyra frowned. "Alright, I am busy today. Next time, let Nore pick you up and come to our house, okay?" Nore asked. Lyra just smiled and said nothing. Through the glass window, Lyra clearly saw Lucy getting into the Lubi family's luxury car.

Her clothes, the jewelry she wore, and the bags she carried were all things that Lyra could not afford right now.

She had to think about how to revive the Jones Group in this period of time. As for her feelings, it was really too extravagant for her.

As soon as Hank landed on the plane, he received the photos and messages sent by Lyra.

Her tone was still as calm as ever, and there was even a strange feeling. He could feel her alienation from those words, and there was also a kind of unfamiliarity. "Sister Zhang drank the soup. The doctor came to check the room and told her to take medicine on time." "Sister Zhang just fell asleep, and the nurse came."

Every sentence was like a mechanical report. But just these few words and a few pictures made Hank look at them for a long time. "Mr. Barnwell, it's time to get off the car." Keith reminded. Only then did Hank put away his phone and strode into the hotel. After the meeting, the first thing he did was to take out his phone. However, there was no news.

The man furrowed his eyebrows, found a quiet place, and dialed Lyra's number. "Hello?"

Lyra had just fallen asleep. She took her phone and went to the corridor. "Sister Zhang is already asleep."

Hank was stunned on the other side. He forgot that there was a time difference here.

"You don't have to worry. I asked the doctor and she can be discharged tomorrow. I will do everything well." She thought that he was worried about Sister Zhang. Hank listened to her voice which was as calm as water, and the anxiety in his heart seemed to be soothed. "After we go back tomorrow, you may have to replace someone to cook." Lyra was thinking about how to take good care of Sister Zhang.

"Okay, I will arrange it. You rest well too." Hank's attitude was much gentler than usual. When Lyra heard these words coming out of his mouth, her eyes trembled.

She never thought that she would be able to hear Hank say such things to her in her lifetime. A blind voice came from the other side of the line.

Lyra lowered her hand and went back to the accompanying bed in the ward. No one was there.

During Hank's business trip, Lyra received several calls from Manager Fang of the Barnwell group, who wanted to talk to her about the specific details of the cooperation plan. She could only delay until Hank came back before making a plan.

Unexpectedly, the other person, Terry, from the Barnwell group appeared. When he appeared in front of Lyra with his assistant and secretary, he said coldly, "The cooperation between the Barnwell group and the Jones Group must be implemented within a week. Otherwise, the Barnwell group will pursue the responsibility of the Jones Group's breach of contract.

"But, Mr. Barnwell has promised to give me a period of time." The secretary behind Terry immediately had a cold face, "Ms. Jones, our President Xiao came here personally not to listen to your private affairs. Your relationship with Mr. Barnwell has nothing to do with the company! At present, this project is in the charge of President Xiao, understand?" Lyra frowned. Of course, she also knew that she could not drag this on any longer.

However, Hank had indeed agreed to it.

"Moreover, Miss Jones should also know how you got this contract. Why don't you submit the termination application yourself to avoid unnecessary complications? Once you go through the legal procedures, you have no chance of winning at all."

The other party repeatedly pressed.

He almost placed the termination document in front of Lyra. "Feng Lee." "After all, she is Mr. Barnwell's ex-wife. You have to pay attention to your words," Terry said coldly, stopping him from continuing. The secretary named Feng Lee finally shut his mouth. That look and expression had already explained everything.

Lyra felt very uncomfortable.

"You can go out first. I want to talk to Ms. Jones alone." Terry raised his hand, his expression unfathomable.

The door closed.

A smile appeared on Terry's face. "Ms. Jones, you don't have to listen to the people below. I believe that Mr. Barnwell must have his reasons for giving this project to you. Moreover, I don't want to interfere with the cooperation between you two." Lyra listened to him quietly and felt that it was not that simple. "However, there are things that have to be done according to the rules. Manager Fang has contacted you several times, but you are always deliberately delaying. I have reason to suspect that the Jones Group has no ability to take on this project at all. In other words, Mr. Barnwell has misjudged this time. Lyra frowned even more. "No..." "No?" Terry suddenly leaned over to her side.

All of a sudden, all the reasons that Lyra had thought of were stuck in her throat. She needed this opportunity.

She could not give up.

Hank was right. He was the only person who could bring the Jones Group back to life. Lyra made up her mind. She raised her head again and smiled brightly and firmly. "There are some things that President Xiao and I can not decide. As far as I know, Mr. Barnwell will be back tomorrow. How about we meet again after he comes back?" "Even if Hank comes back, can you guarantee that he will definitely stand on your side?" Terry immediately raised his eyebrows.

"I only want to talk to Mr. Barnwell. Sorry, I still have a patient to take care of," Lyra replied.

With that, Lyra got up and was about to go to Sister Zhang's ward. "That servant is Barnwell family's old servant. She does have a deep relationship with Hank, but if you want to curry favor with her and achieve a certain goal, I'm afraid it's unlikely. You should know better than me how cold and heartless Hank is. It's better

for you to talk to me about this deal." Terry said coldly. "Let me make a bold guess. President Xiao asked me to give up this project because you want to transfer this project to the Kensley Group, right?" Lyra asked. Terry narrowed his eyes. After a while, his smile deepened, "Ms. Jones is indeed a smart woman, but sometimes, it is a bad thing for a woman to be too smart.

"I am really sorry, I am not a flower vase like Alma." Lyra glanced over.

She was not wrong. Terry had come for the Kensley family. It was probably because Lachlan could no longer sit still that he asked him for help. Or perhaps, they had reached some sort of deal. But that had nothing to do with her. What she had to do was wait for Hank to come back, but she could not guarantee that he would definitely stand on her side when he returned.
