Chapter 230 Make a Move

"In the past, when Old Jones was still alive, I saw that Lachlan was not a good person. The daughter he taught was also..." "I didn't mean it that way. I was just stating facts." He coughed. "Alright, Old Priestley, I know you. It's just that you just came back from abroad and you don't know much about the local situation. My nephew also wants to make up for Lyra." Huaien Barnwell sighed and poured a cup of hot tea for his old friend. "I advised you before because the older generation shouldn't intervene in the children's affairs." "I don't care. No matter what, Lyra is still half my daughter. Alright, you can stay out of this matter, but I have to seek justice for her." As he spoke, he stood up and walked out in a travel-worn manner. The two cups of hot tea in front of Huaien were still steaming white. He shook his head helplessly. "This Zongxing Priestley is still the same as before. He has such a short temper."

At this time.

Alma had already fallen out in the hospital. No matter what Hank said, she only had one request, which was to immediately terminate the cooperation with the Jones Group, and he would never see Lyra again. "If you don't promise me, I will..." She looked around the ward, trying to replace a way to threaten Hank. "What do you want? You want to jump off the building with the child?"

"Hank, I don't want to do this either, but you have to worry about my feelings, right? You and Lyra have been entangled until now. Do you know how the people outside laugh at me? You and I are the rightful husband and wife!" Alma bit the corner of her lips, her face flushed red. Although there was no wedding and no registration of marriage until now. But she was pregnant with Hank's child, and based on this alone, Lyra had to stand aside.

Alma didn't want to anger Hank. "Hank, I wholeheartedly want to live with you for the rest of my life. I am different from Lyra. She approached you just to take revenge on you." "Revenge."

The man slowly spat out these two words, his emotions stirring again. He understood this better than anyone else, but he was unwilling to face it directly. Seeing his reaction, Alma immediately said, "Yes, my father recently told me some things about the Jones family. Her father went bankrupt because of bad management, and it has nothing to do with you! You don't have to feel that you owe her."

Alma tugged at his arm. Although she had such a beautiful face, the words she said were so vicious. "I think we should send her away as soon as possible. If the Jones Group really makes a comeback through this cooperation, the first thing she will do will definitely be to subvert the Barnwell group! At that time, it will be too late for you to make a move again." Hank's eyes became colder and colder. "According to what you said, I should make the first move?" "Yes, Hank. As long as you have this idea, I will tell my dad. He will definitely help." Alma nodded immediately. "Did your dad ask you to tell me these things?" Hank only looked at her deeply. "Yes... No, I don't want her to be entangled with you all day either." No matter how Alma thought about it, she felt that this proposal was reasonable. Since Wendy had been sent away, no one came up with ideas for her now. She could only rely on herself! She was immersed in her own little scheme and did not notice the look in Hank's eyes at all.

"Hank, I am doing this for our future. You don't want our children to be criticized as

soon as he is born, do you? Or in your heart, the two of us combined can't compare to Lyra?"

The gentleness and grievance on Alma's face became more and more intense. She held the man's arm tightly, looking as if she was very pitiful. Unfortunately, Hank had never been a person who would show mercy to the fairer sex.

"I will consider it," he said with an indifferent smile. "Really?" Alma's face was full of joy. "Let me send you back first. Later, I will go to the Kensley family myself and talk to your father." "Okay, then Hank, can you be a little more polite to my father? He is actually quite

worried about us."

Worried?

Of course, he was worried. Once his marriage with the Barnwell group was aborted, he would lose more than just a little benefit. And Lachlan would not tell Alma the truth. To put it bluntly, it was most likely that Lachlan had encouraged her to make such a scene in the hospital today.

Hank's eyes were filled with coldness. After sending Alma away, he turned and walked to Lyra's ward. But just outside the ward, he saw someone's assistant. "Mr. Barnwell. Long time no see. You haven't changed at all," Wu Zheng said respectfully when he saw Hank. "Zongxing is here?" As a junior, the only one who dared to call his boss by his name was Hank. "Yes, Mr. Priestley wants to meet Miss Jones and talk about the cooperation with the

Jones Group."

"Heh."

"Tell him not to waste his energy. Lyra won't believe him. When the Jones family was in trouble, didn't he hide far away? It's too late for him to come back and harvest her heart."

Wu Zheng couldn't keep the smile on his face anymore. His words sounded like the accident in the Jones family had nothing to do with him.

"This is up to Miss Jones." Hank stared at the door, his heart filled with anger. He had no intention of entering at all and left.

Anyway, Lyra would not want to see him now. Just now, he had indeed been impulsive. His phone rang. It was a call from Jasper. "Hank, my uncle is back!" Zongxing was the husband of Jasper's aunt. They were relatives. "Yes, he has arrived at the hospital." Hank walked into the lift, his eyes cold.

"So you met?" Jasper couldn't sit still.

After the incident with the Jones family, several big shots who had been close to Drake started to distance themselves from Hank.

Among them, Zongxing was an exception. He had had to go abroad for treatment due to physical reasons, so he missed the opportunity to help the Jones family.

Otherwise, the Jones family would not have fallen so quickly. "No." Hank's attitude was cold, and he did not want to continue this topic.

On the other side of the line, Jasper sighed, "I know you don't want to hear it, but this time the situation is different from before. My uncle has a son, you know? He is going to introduce his son to Lyra." Beep, beep, beep. The call was directly hung up. "Should I not say it?" Jasper scratched his head helplessly. But according to Hank's personality, if he had known about this from other people, they would not even be friends.
