Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 317

Chapter 317 Be on Guard After leaving the court, Lyra directly took a taxi back to the Jones family,

ignoring the messy paint that was still splashed at the door. She locked the door and stayed in the

room alone. It was unexpected that Hank came to ask her questions. She thought that she did it

flawlessly, but she never thought that these plans were just a small trick in his eyes.

Lyra panicked in her heart. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

What if Hank found out about Uncle Zhang again and found out the real reason for that incident? What

should she do?

Just as she was thinking about this, Nore came. “Lyra, why did you lock the door?” Nore asked with a

frown as he watched her open the door handle. “It’s safer this way.” As Lyra spoke, her lips twitched.

Nore sighed silently in his heart. “Why are you looking for me?” Lyra asked casually as she walked

inside. “I got you something to eat. It’s roast duck.” Nore was holding a big bag in his hand, emitting a

faint fragrance. Lyra’s eyes flashed, and she revealed a smile. “You’re the best. I’m just hungry!”

However, Nore only responded with a hum. He could not say that the person who really understood her

was not himself.

Instead, it was the man who controlled the whole situation from behind. Lyra was enjoying her meal.

Nore was sitting opposite her. Seeing that she had almost finished eating, he slowly said, “I found a few

friends in the lawyer circle. They all said that you can’t drag this case on. You have to close the case as

soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome.”

Lyra put down her chopsticks and was a little worried.

“But the Barnwell group is too slow. Terry has not been officially prosecuted now. I am afraid that he will

lay his hands on Alma and the child.” People like Terry thought highly of themselves and hated Hank

very much. Once he got out of the lawsuit, he would definitely seek revenge. Nore frowned.

“Lyra, you said that you have to work hard to live and let the Jones family rise again. But look at you

now. You have worked hard for Alma. Has she cared about your life?” He suddenly raised his tone.

Lyra froze and lowered her head. “I know you suddenly found your sister. You want to be good to her

and make up for her, but you… should also consider the person who cares about you, right?” Nore

really could not bear to see her fall into the abyss and torture herself like this. He picked up his coat,

got up and left. Out of the Jones family’s door, he punched the steering wheel. He lost control. He

couldn’t help but say those angry words before he could even figure out Lyra’s next step. He was

extremely vexed. He forcefully pulled his hair a few times, stepped on the accelerator, and headed

straight for the Barnwell group. That night, the Barnwell group announced the official prosecution of

Terry. Even Alma and Lachlan were within the scope of prosecution. Alma was still sleeping at home

when she was forcefully taken away. “You can’t do this to me. Hank won’t let you off! I am the madam

of your Barnwell group!” she shouted angrily. “This is Mr. Barnwell’s order. Please cooperate.”

Alma was brought into the car in a daze, her mind completely blank. “Hank won’t do this to me. He has

already registered marriage with me. Even if he doesn’t care about me, he has to take care of our child!

I want to see Hank!” Alma’s voice was trembling. “Mr. Barnwell has already gone on a business trip.”

The man only said this before closing the door. The car drove into the night, and Alma was like a frozen

lake.

When she was brought to the interrogation room and saw her father Lachlan sitting inside, Alma

immediately took a few steps forward. “Dad, what is going on?”

Unexpectedly, when Lachlan saw her, he gave her a hard slap. “It’s all your fault!”

“You insist on marrying Hank, but you can’t control him. Now everyone in the city is looking at our

Kensley family as a joke. That kid is clearly going to kick us away.” He actually didn’t even give any

face and really went through the law procedure. “No!” Alma’s face was burning with pain. She looked at

Lachlan blankly and shook her head.

“Hank won’t do that to me.” Lachlan cursed and was brought into another room. Alma walked forward

in a daze. Suddenly, her legs went soft and she sat on the ground. She raised her head, her eyes hazy

with tears. “I want to see Hank. Before ! see him, I won’t say anything.” “But, Mr. Barnwell won’t see

you.” Alma’s tears fell again. “After all, she is the Barnwell family’s daughter-in-law. What do you think

you’re doing?” a stern and cold voice sounded from behind.

Alma turned around abruptly and saw Huaien standing there.

“Second Uncle, Second Uncle, please help me. Hank and I are still so young. I can’t let anything

happen to me.” Huaien looked at her and sighed heavily. “You are a kind-hearted and good child, but

you were accidentally deceived and took the wrong path, right?” Alma hurriedly nodded.

“Yes, I was deceived by Terry. I really didn’t mean it. Second Uncle, save me.” Alma kept tugging at

Huaien’s clothes.

“Get up first. This matter is not as complicated as you think.” Huaien smiled deeply.

At the same time, Lyra stood at the door of Barnwell family. It was only when she arrived that she found

out that Alma had been taken away for investigation.

She was still a step too late!

The maid told her that Hank had not returned yet and was working overtime in the company. Lyra

frowned. Hearing the sound of the car behind her, she suddenly turned around. However, she found

that the person who got out of the car was Terry. At that moment, Lyra was stunned and

subconsciously retreated. Terry played with the car key in his hand, and his smile gradually became

evil. “Isn’t this our Mr. Barnwell’s ex-wife? It’s so late, and you are still hanging out here? Or should I

say, it’s so late, and you’re still offering yourself to him?” Lyra was on guard and looked at the man

warily. Seeing that she did not speak, Terry tsked, “Don’t tell me you don’t know that I will go back to

work tomorrow?” “What?”

“It can’t be helped. Kensley family and his daughter are too stupid. They thought they could put the

blame on me and put me in jail. What a pity.” Terry narrowed his eyes and looked at Lyra. “I just can’t

figure it out. You seem to be particularly concerned about Kensley family.”

Lyra gritted her teeth and left directly.

Terry looked at her back and laughed disdainfully. “These women must be crazy. That’s why they

surrounded Hank every day.” He took out his phone and sent a message to a certain number. Then he

sat in the car and waited for Hank.

That night, the storm was destined to rise again. After settling the matter, Hank went downstairs and

saw Lyra standing at the door of the parking lot.

The night was dark and she was wearing a thin windbreaker.

The man stepped on the accelerator and stopped in front of her.

“Looking for me?”
