Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit -
Chapter 76
Chapter 76 The Right Wife
Lyra hailed a taxi and did not leave directly. Instead, she asked the driver to take a detour before returning to the exit and stopping on a nearby path. Seeing Alma and Wendy get into the car and leave together she chuckled.
"Please follow that car."
The driver glanced at the car tag and then looked at Lyra. "Miss, who are they to you? I am a proper taxi and I don't do that kind of business." "She is my father's ex-girlfriend."
Lyra said lightly and continued to look down at her phone. The stock price of Kensley Group had dropped again. Wendy was obsessed with the dream of marrying into a rich family, so she should be anxious
now.
Lachlan was different from her father.
At most, Lachlan was just a nouveau riche. Now that the economic bubble was so serious, without the support of the capital chain, they, the Kensley family, were like a tiger made of paper.
Lyra hummed all the way, watching the mother and daughter enter the Kensley family's door in a pleasant mood.
The driver kindly advised her, "Miss, ahead is the high-end residential area. You can't enter without the key."
Lyra ignored him, took out her mobile phone, and dialed the number that she had got a few days ago
In Kensley family's villa. "Dad, what's going on?" Alma asked anxiously. "Shut up!" Lachlan was calling his old friend for help. He turned around and shouted at Alma.
Alma's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Wendy and did not dare to make a sound. Wendy's phone rang. She looked at it. It was an unknown number.
However, she still hesitated to pick it up.
"Who is it?"
"It's me. I'm outside the Kensley family's door now. Is it convenient for me to go in?" Lyra looked down at the soil on the tip of her shoe and was not surprised to hear the urgent voice over there. "I'll come out, I'll come out immediately!"
Soon, Wendy came out anxiously with a handbag. "Lyra, you've suffered a lot during this period of time. Look, you've lost weight. Why didn't you come to replace me earlier?" Lyra's eyebrows twitched. She had never realized that Wendy was so good at acting.
"How could I replace you? All your contact details have changed, and you even moved home," Lyra said expressionlessly. "That's... that's because I'm being watched by those debt collectors. I really couldn't do anything about it. I was incompetent and couldn't protect you for your father." As Wendy spoke, her tears grew even more. The last bit of hesitation in Lyra's eyes disappeared completely. Even if Wendy still had a trace of true feelings for her father, even if she revealed a bit of regret She didn't Wendy said, carefully looking at Lyra's expression. She sobbed as she dragged Lyra to the side. "This is my savings from all these years. I don't know much. I hope it can help you."
"Your savings?"
"Yes, you know, I don't have much money on hand. Moreover, I was not your father's wife at that time, so I couldn't help with the funeral. Even if I stayed with the Jones family, it would be useless. Do you understand?"
Got it.
She wanted her to take revenge at other people's door, so as not to disturb her being a rich wife?
"But, my dad left something for you when he was alive and told me to give it to you." Lyra suppressed the strange look in hers eyes and made a difficult expression.
"What is it?" Wendy was a little surprised. She did not expect such an unexpected harvest. However, she turned back to look at the Kensley family's villa and squeezed out a smile. "Lyra, you should go back first today. Auntie has something to do here. I will replace you tomorrow, okay?" "Alright then. Auntie, you go ahead first. I'll be leaving." Lyra simply left. When she turned around, Wendy was already nowhere to be seen. Just like when the Jones family had an accident, she disappeared in an instant. She held the envelope in her hand, a chill spreading in her eyes. Now that the bait was set, she was only waiting for the best opportunity.
Lyra looked at the time and took the taxi to the hospital.
When Wendy went back, she found that Lachlan was scolding Alma.
"I told you to get along well with Hank. What did you do? The Barnwell group actually withdrew its investment at this time! Call that kid immediately. Does he still want to be my son-in-law?" Lachlan was furious He thought that his daughter was in high demand. He did not expect that Hank would impatiently withdraw his funds after such a small accident. Wasn't this adding insult to injury? "Dad, I can't make this call. Hank has been a little distant from me recently. I'm afraid that I will annoy him because of this matter and make him hate me more." When Wendy heard this, she recalled Lyra's attitude towards her just now. She hurriedly said, "Lachlan, I have a few words to say to you.
"What?"
Lachlan was furious.
However, Wendy was very good at reading eyes. In addition, she had maintained herself well over the years. Her entire body lightly touched his arm. No matter how angry he was, it was all gone now. He let Wendy pull him in.
A few minutes later, Lachlan said repeatedly, "Well, you can give it a try. If you can make Hank change his mind and make a contribution to it, I will buy everything you want."
"For the sake of you and Alma, I don't want anything." Wendy pushed him playfully, then gathered her hair and walked out with a twist of her waist. The collar of Lachlan's shirt was open, and he lit a cigarette with satisfaction. He had married the right wife. Alma listened to the commotion outside and looked at Wendy in confusion. "Have you coaxed my dad well?"
"As for how to coax a man, there are some things that I will teach you slowly. Now, give Hank a call and ask him to meet tomorrow. I will go with you."
"But..."
"I have a way to make him change his mind. Moreover, I can let you live in his Barnwell family."
