Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 273

Chapter 273 The Worst One

She really wanted to cry, and even her voice was full of trembling. But she tried her best to hold back.

She wanted to protect her last bit of pride. At least, she did not want to walk out of the door with red

eyes. The apology in Hank’s eyes grew stronger, and his suppressed emotions surged in his chest. “I

want you to…”. “What do you want me to do?” Lyra lifted her eyes to look at him, and the self-mocking

smile on her lips deepened. “You want me to maintain my last elegance?” He had already brought her

in under the watchful eyes of everyone and forced her to stay for so long.

Even if she walked out cleanly, who would believe that nothing had happened to

them?

Lyra sneered, “Then you better prepare a sum of hush money for me. Otherwise, the news of you

publicly humiliating me tomorrow will definitely spread all over the city.” The man’s eyes darkened. “Oh,

by the way, you just said, why did I have a scandal with Jing? Of course, it was because Uncle

Priestley was good to me, because the Priestley family had power and influence, and because Jing

could help me solve the trouble I encountered.” “Lyra!” Hank clenched his fists tightly. He was already

on the verge of getting angry. But no matter how ugly his expression was, Lyra did not feel relieved at

all. “Also, I think it is necessary to remind you that you are the worst man I have ever slept with.” After

Lyra finished speaking, she threw his branded suit to the ground. She even stomped on it with the heel

of her high heels. “It’s fine if you don’t want to pay the hush money. You can wear this suit and go out

later.”

She was not to be outdone, which was deeply imprinted in the eyes of the man. He smashed his fist on

the glass coffee table, and the entire coffee table instantly shattered.

The mottled fragments reflected the light, and it was very similar to an indescribable relationship

between them.

She knew that he would lose his temper, but she did not expect that he would directly

slam the door and leave, even locking her inside. Only when the surroundings were quiet did Lyra’s

tears suddenly fall. Following her cheeks, they passed by her collarbone where there was a green and

red mark

She lowered her head and muttered to herself, “Lyra, you did the right thing. Otherwise, will you be

trampled and bullied by him for the rest of your life?” On the auction platform outside, the auction had

already begun. “Everyone, the next item is from a mysterious seller. Please take a look!” As the host

said this, everyone’s eyes fell on the display platform behind him.

The LED light source shone on the jade bracelet. It was obvious that it was a top-quality item Lyra

casually glanced at it and was shocked by the box that contained this bracelet.

This was her family’s item!

Just like the design drawings that Jimmy had asked her to make last time, they had all been used by

her mother. Moreover, she remembered that on the inside of this bracelet, there was a small “Lyra”, just

like the jade pendant Thinking of the puzzle left by her father in the secret compartment of the

bookcase, Lyra did not think much and directly pressed the auction bell. “Distinguished guests, please

don’t worry. I haven’t said the starting price yet. The starting price is two hundred thousand.” “Five

hundred thousand.” Lyra pressed the speaker button on the microphone.

The host on stage was stunned. “That’s Hank’s private room,” someone reminded him through the

microphone. The host immediately picked up the auction hammer, “Everyone, 500,000 going once.”

Three times, no one spoke.

Because no one dared to challenge Hank, soon, a staff member delivered the bracelet to Lyra. “You

have a good eye. Although this bracelet looks ordinary, it is very valuable.” The manager introduced it

with a smile.

“Who sold this bracelet?” Lyra looked up and her eyes were sharp.

The manager was stunned. “I’m not too sure about this. The seller did not reveal her identity, but she

did not offer a high price. She should be in a hurry to use money.” “I want to trade with her face to face.

If I can see her in person, I will give you 20%

more commission.”

Lyra concluded that there was some secret in this. Perhaps, the owner of this bracelet had something

to do with the Jones family’s bankruptcy! She couldn’t let go of any possibility. “This is against the

rules.” The manager looked troubled. At the door, Keith knocked on the open door. “Manager Zhang,

Mr. Barnwell hopes that you can cooperate with him fully.” As soon as Hank was mentioned, the

manager immediately changed his tone, “Alright, alright, alright. Since it’s Mr. Barnwell’s order, we will

do our best to do it. I will go and discuss it with the seller now. I will leave this bracelet behind for Miss

Jones to appraise.” Lyra’s eyebrows jumped. They knew that she was not Zhang Min? However, due to

Hank’s face, they did not look into her responsibility. Of course, they would not throw her into the sea.

Lyra lowered her eyes in disappointment. In the end, she still took advantage of Hank. Realizing this,

she bit the corner of her lips until she tasted the taste of blood. She picked up the bracelet and looked

at the word “Lyra” on it. She did not pay attention to the footsteps behind her.

Hank walked in from the outside and watched Lyra’s back. He frowned slowly. When Lyra turned

around, the look of tears happened to fall into his eyes. “Get out of the way. Don’t expect me to thank

you for this.” “When the boat docked, the driver will send you back.” Hank turned his head. Whether it Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

was out of selfishness or for her safety, he felt that it was necessary to do

SO.

“Mr. Barnwell, don’t you think that it’s faster to seal my mouth by giving money?” Lyra laughed

disdainfully. She was obviously not that kind of woman, but in order to draw a clear line with him, she

had to pretend to be scheming. “You have to be like this…” Lyra took a deep breath, “There is no need

to hesitate with someone like you.” The last trace of patience in the man’s heart disappeared.

“Alright, then let me take a closer look at how much you are worth.”

As he spoke, he lifted his wrist and held Lyra on the table. His hand happened to land

on the switch of the microphone. The entire hall heard an ear-piercing sound. Following that, the man

said in a suppressed voice, “Come on.”

Pa.

A slap was heard. Everyone was stunned. All eyes were focused on the glass of Hank’s private room.

At the door, Keith did not know if he should go in and remind him. “Hank, you scum.”

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. They were even more curious about what was happening

inside. However, at this time, the cruise ship shook, and all the lights went out in an instant. The deputy

captain rushed into the hall and shouted, “There is a little mechanical problem. Please return to your

rooms!” “What little problem? Will there be a power outage?” Someone shouted.

Then, there was another violent shaking.

“Ah!”

Countless screams, messy jostling… In the private room, Lyra was half-leaning in Hank’s arms. When

the cabin shook violently just now, the two of them fell off the table together. Hank’s hand did not let go

of her. Her elbow hit hard, causing the man to frown in pain. “Bastard, let go.” Hank sighed slowly and

said in a slightly helpless tone, “Wait a little longer.” Lyra ignored him and struggled a few more times.

“Just now, the captain told me that the cruise ship touched a reef.” Hank’s voice rang in her ears.
