Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 293

Chapter 293 The Picture

Lyra heard Zongxing recall many things from the past. Although there was no substantial harvest, at

least she could confirm that her premonition was not wrong. This bracelet was the Jones family’s.

Someone behind the scenes was selling her family’s property. Apart from Hank, who else would do

such a thing? Lyra was full of doubts and left the Armstrong family.

On the other side, Alma was crying in pain in the delivery room. However, after a few hours of pain, she

was still pushed back to the ward. After the doctor checked, he suggested that she wait for the natural

delivery so as not to cause damage to her body.

Alma was covered in sweat and leaned against the pillow. She was not in high spirits.

“Where’s Hank? Is he here?” she asked weakly.

“There’s something going on at the company. Hank is still in a meeting.”

“Why… why can’t he take more pity on me?” Alma asked, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.

“Just endure it,” Wendy sighed helplessly. “Endure?” Alma smiled. She had already endured for a long

time. “You go out first. I want to be alone for a while.” Alma looked at Wendy’s profile and no longer

believed her in her heart. As soon as Wendy closed the door and went out, Alma took out her mobile

phone and dialed a certain number. “I agree to cooperate with you, but I have a condition. My child

must be the future heir of the Barnwell group.” At this time, Hank was still in the company for a meeting.

Keith hesitated again and again and handed over a report. It was clearly written that the Jones Group

was about to enter the smart R&D market and build its own project team. This was obviously aimed at

the Barnwell group. “Mr. Barnwell, the designs and development ideas of the Jones Group are very

similar to our plan A, but they released it first…” This meant that the Barnwell group could no longer

use it.

The results that everyone had worked hard for a year were gone. At the conference table, everyone

was sighing. First, they lost the bid, which was snatched away by someone, and now, even the project

was robbed. “How did the people of the Jones Group know the specific content of Plan A? There must

be a mole in the company!”

As everyone was guessing, Keith saw Hank’s expression and coughed lightly. This specific information

had most likely been stolen from Hank’s study. Hank’s face suddenly sank, and his gaze slowly swept

past the faces of the employees. “I will make a trip to redeem the Barnwell group’s reputation. At

present, the most important thing is to find a project that can rival Plan A. I will give you three days.”

“Three days?”

Everyone’s faces fell.

The project manager mustered his courage and said, “Mr. Barnwell, we have spent a year on Project A.

It is really difficult to complete one within three days.”

Hank nodded. He naturally understood this.

A few seconds later, his deep and majestic voice surrounded the entire conference room.

“Everyone’s year-end bonus will be increased by five times.”

With this sentence, everyone’s morale was ignited. “Thank you, Mr. Barnwell!”

Hank walked out of the conference room expressionlessly. After working for a day and a night, he

almost couldn’t take it anymore. “Mr. Barnwell, you should rest for a day first.” “What’s the situation at

the hospital?” Hank raised his hand. “Miss Kensley has no signs of production for the time being. She

has returned to the ward to rest and wait.” “Then let’s prepare the car and leave. We can make it back

tomorrow.” Hank rubbed his eyebrows. “Yes, Mr. Barnwell.”

He had said that he would be responsible for Alma, so he would not go back on his word. But in order

to save the Barnwell group’s loss during this period of time, he had to show up. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

In the town about 80 kilometers away, there was a newly built Hope Primary School

that was sponsored by the Barnwell group. Hank was going to participate in the ribbon-cutting

ceremony. This kind of public charity event could redeem the Barnwell group’s reputation and face. He

was not only doing superficial work, he was never stingy when it was time to donate.

But what Hank did not expect was that he would meet Lyra at the town station. She was holding a

photo in her hand as if she was looking for a place. “Mr. Barnwell, do you want to go over?” Keith

asked. “No need. Let’s go directly.” She must want to draw a clear line with him now. What could she

say when they met again?

The man suppressed the sadness in his eyes. He was no longer qualified to stand in front of her.

Lyra had been around the town for an hour, but she still could not find the address on the back of the

photo.

Someone sent her a letter with the picture in it. It was the picture of his father when he was young, and

there was a man who looked like Hank in the picture.

No matter what, she had to come over personally to take a look. “Miss, do you need any help?” Two

young men surrounded Lyra and winked at each other. In a few steps, they blocked Lyra. “We grew up

here. No matter where you go, I am very familiar.” One of them even pulled Lyra.

That hand was very hard, and there was black mud in his nails.

It was already evening, and the sky was dark. “Stay away from me,” Lyra stared at them defensively.

She flung away from the man and ran along the alley at the right time. However, she chose the wrong

path and found that it was a dead-end after a few steps. “I didn’t expect you to be so good at playing.

Do you like this?” “Then we will accompany you well.” They were getting closer and closer. “Don’t come

over! Is there anyone…” Lyra shouted. The two men laughed even more obscenely. “Stop shouting,

and you should save some strength and accompany us.”

Just as he finished speaking, an old voice came from the entrance of the alley, “You two bastards, what

are you doing?” “I’ll call the police now,” the man shouted. The two young men cursed and ran over the

wall. Only then did Lyra let out a sigh of relief. “Thank you,” she said. The person standing in front of

her was an old man who was about sixty years old. He had one leg that was not very convenient.

When he walked, he was a little lame. “Are you alright?” He reached out to help Lyra, the smile on his

face very kind. “Thank you for your help.” Lyra shook her head. The old man slowly sighed, shook his

head, and said, “Now these young people have nothing to do, so they have such crooked thoughts.

You are a girl. You are unfamiliar with the world. You have to take care of yourself.” As the old man

spoke, he pointed in another direction, “There is a police station a few hundred meters away from that

road. If you have anything to ask, you can go there and ask.” “Thank you, sir.” Lyra thanked him

sincerely. Suddenly, she thought of something. She took out the photo and walked towards the old

man. The police in the police station might not be local. Moreover, her father was very young in the

photo. This should be a photo from twenty years ago. If the old man was a local, perhaps he would

know the people in the photos. “Excuse me, do you know these people?” Lyra just wanted to give it a

try. Unexpectedly, the old man’s expression changed. He looked at Lyra with a very frightened look.

Then he immediately threw the photo away. “I don’t know him. I’ve never seen him before!”
