Chapter 388 Waiting for an opportunity to Attack

Lyra was completely furious. He had not only put her under house arrest here but also avoided answering her questions. She directly called Su Yuan. "All the projects we discussed before are suspended. Focus on the smart project and make sure that you release the product before the Barnwell group." "But Ms. Jones, there are still many things that need to be adjusted. If the time is shortened, the effect might not be ideal," Su Yuan replied directly. "Think of a way to overcome it as much as possible. The sooner the better." Lyra put down her phone and heard the maid knock on the door. "Miss Jones, it's time for lunch." "I'm not eating!" "Don't bother me." Lyra locked the door directly. She took out her phone and began to browse the news today. The Barnwell group's public relations efficiency was indeed very high. All the fancy news about the three of them had been removed, leaving no trace at all. Moreover, Alma's management company also released a statement that Alma had recovered very well and would endorse a high-end luxury - jewelry brand in the near future. After that, she would make a full comeback. The fans of Alma on the Internet were very excited about this. Previously, the trend of the situation had been one- sided. They had reprimanded Lyra for blocking Alma's path. Now, the news that Alma had returned to the entertainment industry made those fans temporarily forget the conflict between Lyra and Alma. Lyra looked at the phone screen and felt that this matter had been resolved too smoothly. She took out her cell phone and clicked into her email inbox. Looking at the few emails she had read, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter. "Dad, what should I do?" Hank had placed her under house arrest to make her admit defeat and tell him the truth, but she really could not say it. Could she personally tell him that the person behind the scenes was his second uncle? Or tell him that she had agreed to make this deal with Huaien in order to take revenge on Lachlan, because he was the culprit who had harmed the Jones family and Hank's

parents. But she could not say these words. If Hank knew the truth, what would he become? Lyra curled up on the sofa, watching the phone screen darken and burying her head in her knees.

That night, Alma was discharged from the hospital in a high profile. She was interviewed by a reporter with Lachlan. In front of the camera, Lachlan hugged Alma's shoulder and cried bitterly. "I was a father who failed to protect my daughter." "It was all my fault that she suffered so much." As for Alma, she was wearing a mask and sunglasses. She had not opened her mouth the entire time but she made people feel even more sorrowful and painful. As Lachlan spoke, he pretended to wipe away his tears.

"Please stop asking. My daughter needs to rest. She really... can't withstand any harm. I beg you, don't disturb her life anymore." Lachlan's words made everyone think that Alma was the victim of the entire matter. The news that had been suppressed by the Barnwell group started to show signs of surging over and over again, and the stock price of the Kensley Group had also increased because of Lachlan's' love drama'. "We can't afford to offend others. Please don't take any more photos." Lachlan begged in front of the reporters. But as he spoke, he did not push Alma into the elevator for a long time. The reporters naturally seized the opportunity and kept taking pictures of the father and daughter. Lyra looked at the TV screen, her hands tightly clutching the remote control, "Lachlan is trying to squeeze out the last remaining value of Alma." The servants came over with fruit plates, and when they saw the fierce expression on Lyra's face, they were all shocked. Such a beautiful and delicate face was actually so scary... "Tonight, I want to eat roast duck." After saying this, Lyra went upstairs and entered the room. It was okay for Hank to let her stay here. Anyway, there were many things that she did not have to do personally. For example, starting a rumor. At this time, Hank had arrived at the overseas hotel.

The first thing he did when he got off the plane was to check his phone. He wanted to see what kind of grand declaration Lyra had made to him. However, there was not a single message. There was not even a single missed call. In other words, the woman knew that he was on a business trip from this morning, but she could resist looking for him. He had been ignored by her, which made the man very unhappy. "Keith, what's the situation in the country now? Did she make a move?" Keith knew that Hank was going to ask, so he immediately told him the news. "Then what is she doing all day?" "According to the servant's report, Miss Jones is eating, drinking, and playing at home. She doesn't do anything. Moreover, she seems to be in a very good mood, and she seems to be very relaxed." Hank frowned. "Mr. Barnwell, this should be good news, right?" Keith said slowly as he looked at his boss' expression. He had felt sorry for not being able to answer Lyra's call the day before. Now that Lyra had given up on the idea of looking for Hank, as an assistant, he could relax a little and the workload would not be that big. However, Hank suddenly said, "Get someone to watch her 24 hours a day." He was very sure that Lyra was not the type to sit still and wait for death. Her compromise today was definitely not because she had thought it through and wanted to lay her cards on the table with him. She must be holding back something bad. Although he knew that she would be directed at him, he could not help but feel a little more worried.

He raised his hand to press the space between his eyebrows. "I have to get someone to keep an eye on her for her safety. I don't know how many days I will have to stay on this business trip. Only by completing this case can I have absolute persuasiveness to deal with the Barnwell group's internal strife. This battle must be won." During this period of time, only Keith, who was by his side, was clear about how exhausted he was. It was not that he did not care about the internal affairs of the Barnwell group, nor did he allow Terry to ruin the company's reputation. Instead, he was waiting for the best time to crush the overall situation.

There was only one chance.

He had to fight with his back against the wall.

Otherwise, how could he bear to leave Lyra alone at home? This matter, as well as the scandals that the Barnwell group had caused previously, was definitely a person's plan.

Hank had some candidates in his heart, but he still needed time to confirm that. Sometimes pretending to ignore it and putting bait on the other party was also a tactic.

It could play a role in paralyzing the other party. It was just that he did not know if the heavens would turn upside down when that woman stirred up. "Go and rest first. We still have a meeting tomorrow." Hank was also tired. He raised his hand and let Keith get off work.

"Yes, Mr. Barnwell."

Keith nodded and walked out of Hank's room. After hesitating for a while, he took out his phone and sent a message to Su Yuan..
