Chapter 176 There Was No Free Lunch in the World

Lyra stayed with Sister Zhang for a long time. When she fell asleep, she planned to leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she got up, she heard a familiar voice outside. "Go and investigate immediately. Who is Hank coming here for?" Alma ordered, holding her belly. She got off the bed and headed straight in this direction. Lyra's eyes darkened. She didn't want to disturb Sister Zhang's rest. Just as she was thinking about how to avoid suspicion, someone pushed open the door and entered. Their eyes met, and Hank frowned slightly. The next second, he pulled her into the bathroom.

"What are you doing?"

"If someone sees you here, I can't explain it." His voice was cold and indifferent, without any extra emotions.

Lyra tried to maintain the distance between them as much as possible and said discontentedly, "You can go out."

Hank glanced at her and did not answer. Soon, the door of the ward was pushed open. Alma brought a group of people in, but when she saw that there was only Sister Zhang on the bed, she looked around. "Just her?" "Miss Kensley?" Sister Zhang was also awakened by the noise. They had seen each other in Hank's villa. Of course, Alma knew that she was only a servant in Hank's house. She had spent so much effort, but she had not gained anything. "Next time, use your brain! What can happen between Hank and her?" Alma bit her lips. After she finished speaking, she dragged her lower abdomen out. In the bathroom, Lyra was in Hank's arms. The space was narrow, and they had to stick close to each other to avoid the light coming in from outside. Lyra could clearly smell the man's perfume on his body. She frowned in dissatisfaction, and just as her hand reached his chest. "Don't move," she heard a repressed warning coming from above her head.

Lyra heard her voice and was just about to retort. When she raised her head, she met his eyes. There were too many things hidden in them that she could not understand.

However, she could clearly feel the man's heavy breathing.

It was already too late for her to dodge.

The next second, he leaned over and pressed his lips against her neck uncontrollably. His voice was sultry and low. "I've already tried very hard to control myself. Why do you still come to me?" What does this mean? "Get lost." Lyra was so sensitive that her entire body was trembling. She had come to see Sister Zhang, and it had nothing to do with him. The man's Adam's apple bobbed, but in the end, he did not continue to move. He released his hand and walked out. Lyra was still standing in the same place, allowing the darkness to cover her. She took several deep breaths before opening the door. Sister Zhang was talking to Hank about something. When she saw Lyra coming out of the bathroom, she was a little surprised. "Miss Jones hasn't left yet?" "We're leaving now. Sister Zhang, have a good rest." The door closed again. The corridor was full of the smell of disinfectant. Lyra put on. her hat and went downstairs from the elevator. Not far away, Elisa took a picture of this scene. Then, she immediately showed it to Alma. She wanted to prove that there was nothing wrong with her premonition. Hank had a private meeting with a certain woman, and this woman was the woman that Alma hated the most.

It was just that the photo could not be sent to Alma, and just as Elisa turned around, she was stopped by Keith and several bodyguards. "Mr. Barnwell hopes that Miss Kensley can stay in peace and take care of her fetus. In the near future, do not arrange any event for her, and do not let her participate in any social activities, understand?" "That was arranged by the company, and I have no choice." Elisa pulled the corners of her mouth in embarrassment and hid her mobile phone behind her. "Is that so? Then Mr. Barnwell might ask your company to change Miss Kensley's agent." Keith gave her a look, and the bodyguard immediately stepped forward, snatched the phone, and then deleted the photo. Elisa was anxious and angry, but she could not say anything. "Once Miss Kensley's whereabouts are discovered by someone, can she still stay in

the hospital and rest in peace? A murderer has to go to jail. Let her take care of herself," Keith said coldly. This was what Hank had said, and he was just repeating it. After hearing this, Elisa looked at Keith's eyes again. She did not dare to quibble and hurried to Alma's ward. In order to keep her job, she naturally had to take good care of Alma. As for those social engagements, she no longer dared to arrange them for Alma. However, Alma was not afraid. "My dad has already found the best lawyer to defend me. The police station has been informed as well. What can happen? I said that my stomach was not feeling well just to make Hank feel sorry for me. Why are you fooled as well?" Alma chuckled.

"Let's go. I still have to talk to Director Forrest about the new role in the afternoon." Alma changed into her usual socialite outfit and looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction. "But... Alma, you'd better not go. Don't make Mr. Barnwell unhappy." "What do you know? Men all have the desire to control. I just want Hank to be unable to control me. I thought of so many ways before, but he didn't care about me at all. But now? He found out that I went to those dinners and got jealous. Not bad, not bad at all" "Men are all the same, and Hank is no exception." Alma smiled.

What Alma did not know was that the moment she left the hospital...

Lyra took a taxi to catch up with her.. When she saw her destination, Lyra immediately called Jasper, who had contacted her yesterday "Young Master Jasper, I'll send you the address. Let's talk." After saying that, Lyra put the phone into her pocket. On the other side, Jasper looked at the address sent by Lyra and was stunned for two seconds. "My goodness, why did you choose such an expensive place?" However, he did not hesitate and immediately rushed over with the transfer

information.

When Lyra saw that Jasper was brought over by the waiter, she waved her hand. The table opposite her was Alma and the two male directors. However, there was a curtain between them, and Alma's attention was on the two directors. She had no idea who was sitting here. "Young Master Jasper, what's the matter?" Lyra stirred the drink in the glass.

"This is the transfer information of Cosmos Corporation. Take a look. If there is no problem, you can sign it directly. Next week, this company will be transferred under your name." Cosmos Corporation? Lyra had thought of countless possibilities for him to find her. However, she did not expect it to be this. "What tricks does Hank want to play again? Because I want to sue Alma. He can't stand it? This is a trap, right?" Lyra glanced at the transfer book and smiled faintly. "Miss Jones, Hank doesn't mean that." "If he really wanted to marry Alma, he wouldn't have delayed until now." Jasper sighed.

Lyra lowered her eyes.

That was indeed the case, but those things had nothing to do with her. She was not in the mood to care about what Hank was worried about. Lyra's fingers slowly tightened. It had to be said that she was indeed tempted. If she took back this company, it was equivalent to taking the first step to revive the Jones family But why would Hank be so kind? "What are the conditions?".

There was no free lunch in the world.
