Chapter 95 Comparing

However, no one could explain why Hank did not do so. They were no longer husband and wife, but they always appeared in everyone's sight together, not as a couple, though. Therefore, many discussions appeared among the surrounding guests. "I think that Lyra is more suitable for Mr. Barnwell. That Alma is like a flower vase. She is a lot worse than Lyra." "Sigh, if not for the fact that the Jones family fell, the two of them would really be a

good couple."

"Just now, why did Alma mention the Jones family for no reason? It must be because she knew clearly in her heart that she couldn't compare to Lyra. That's why she played such a small trick. I really don't know why Mr. Barnwell would like her." "She knows how to act like a spoiled child..."

Everyone watched helplessly as Alma nestled in Hank's arms as if she had no bones. “Hank, I really didn't mean it that way. Don't listen to her." At this time, Hank swept his cold eyes over, and his gaze was gloomy. With a look, Alma bit the corner of her lips gloomily and did not dare to make a sound. Lyra chuckled and turned to look at Mr. Chen, who had just chatted with Hank about business. Her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. "If the two of you discuss other aspects of cooperation, I may not have the right to speak. But if it is about the few cargo ships parked at the ferry, I happen to have some information." She had previously called the Barnwell group anonymously and claimed that she was a reporter who wanted to interview Hank. Of course, she was rejected.

However, she had finally managed to replace this clue.

It was a batch of goods that the Barnwell group's vice president, Terry, had imported from overseas. There was no problem with the source of the goods, no problem with the channels, but there was a problem with the goods.

Hank should not know about this matter yet.

Otherwise, he would never have talked about this matter in public. "That batch of goods, Mr. Barnwell didn't personally manage it, right? So, he probably doesn't know either. The components have long been out of date, and they are k type that is prohibited from being used by the industry." "What? Mr. Barnwell, is what she said true?" Mr. Chen was stunned. Not long ago, Cloud Town had issued a ban on it. If Hank knew that there was

something wrong with those goods and still wanted to cooperate with him in such a grand manner, wouldn't it be clear that he was trying to trick him?

Hank pressed his eyebrows down, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

In front of Mr. Chen and everyone else, he could only clarify immediately, "Of course not. We, the Barnwell group, never do a one-time deal."

There was still some hesitation in Mr. Chen's heart when he saw the Barnwell group's golden signboard. However, he looked at Hank and coughed. "Mr. Barnwell, I'm going to the bathroom."

This was the most euphemistic rejection. Hank could only watch him leave. The next second, his deep gaze fell on Lyra.

"Miss Jones' moves are really unexpected."

"Thank you for your praise, Mr. Barnwell. I don't have any strong points. I just like to tell the truth and can't stand others being deceived." She smiled. She was not arrogant, but he could clearly feel that she was very happy.

She was happy to see Hank's face darken. In the distance, Nore breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing that Hank and Lyra were still talking, he couldn't help but shake Xu Ya off and walk over quickly. "Lyra, I've been looking for you for a long time. Let me take you around." He directly grabbed her wrist.

Lyra hesitated for a moment.

Hank narrowed his eyes.

At this moment, Alma held his arms, "Hank, I feel a little uncomfortable. Can you accompany me to have a rest?" she asked.

After all, she was a pregnant woman.

Lyra listened to this sticky voice and felt a little nauseous. She directly agreed to Nore's invitation. "I just saw a pond behind?"

Nore introduced as he led her to the back.

Hank retracted his gaze.

"Hank, don't you think that Lyra is quite pitiful? She has just divorced you and is about to be abandoned again."

Hank did not say anything. "How can the Lubi family let their only son marry someone like her? When I passed by the back, I heard a few wives saying that Nore is already engaged to the Xu family's daughter. Then it was only a matter of time before he abandoned Lyra. At that time, Lyra would have nothing left. She would see if she still had the face to stay in Cloud Town. When Alma thought of this, she felt very comfortable, but after she finished speaking, she found that Hank's reaction was very strange. "Hank, are you not happy?"

The man turned to look at her, his eyes slightly heavy, "You came here to listen to the gossip?"

"I... I only heard it by chance. I said it because it has something to do with you." Alma did not understand what she had done wrong.

She was a woman, so it was normal for her to care about his love rival's situation.

But Hank was different. For him, such an occasion should be used to talk about business. If not for his identity, he would not have brought Alma here today. In less than half an hour, he was deeply aware that Alma was not suitable for his circle.

To be precise, he could not agree with her various performances.

Hank frowned and did not say a word. His calm eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

"Guests, please come over here." Soon, Lucy's birthday banquet officially began. The couple stood side by side, raising their glasses to thank all the guests present.

The guests below the stage were very cooperative as if they had forgotten the little episode just now. Until Lucy smiled and said, "Some time ago, my son won a small competition. The situation was quite complicated at that time. He did some inappropriate actions. I hope everyone doesn't take it to heart."

These words were vague.

But the listeners were interested. For a moment, many people began to whisper. "It seems that the Lubi family does not agree with Nore to pursue Lyra." "Of course, that is a woman that Hank does not want. The Lubi family can't afford to reduce itself to such a level." Nore and Lyra, who just came back from the back, also heard this. Xu Ya appeared on the other side of Nore at the right time and pulled him, "Brother Nore, you'd better come with me to toast to aunt. There are so many people here, don't let her lose face."

Lyra's heart skipped a beat. "I'm not going." Nore frowned.
