Sir Please Mellow Down A Bit Chapter 428

Chapter 428 I Also Withdraw from the Competition

Her words pierced his heart. After she finished speaking, Lyra walked into the cold wind without looking back. She was not afraid of the cold, but she was afraid that she would hesitate again. For her, the name Hank Barnwell should have disappeared from her life long ago. But the contact during this period of time made her afraid and panic. Her phone buzzed. She looked at the caller ID and pulled open the door of the taxi.

The man was still standing on the steps, looking at her from afar.

"Sir, please drive faster." "Miss Jones, the case has been terminated." The lawyer's voice came from the phone. "Why?" Lyra frowned.

The matter had not been investigated clearly, and there was no evidence. How could the case be closed? "Nina Clark declared that she would not seek anyone's responsibility. Moreover, she has already terminated the contract with JD company and will withdraw from this design competition." Lyra's heart sank.

"Sir, let's go to the hospital." When Lyra walked into the ward, Nina's family was already helping her pack her things. Her mother was still sad that her daughter was suffering. Nina had a cold face, the same expression as when she was in the competition.

Lyra knocked on the door and looked up, meeting Nina's guarded gaze. "What are you doing here? I no longer hold anyone responsible. All of you will no longer be suspects. You can leave now." Nina Clark shouted angrily. "Nina, is this your friend? Don't be so fierce to him.”

"She is not my friend!" "Get lost, I don't want to see you," Nina said coldly. Lyra had already been mentally prepared for her reaction. She immediately walked in and put the fruit aside. "Auntie, can I talk to her alone?". Nina's mother sighed and nodded gently. The door closed and Nina sneered, "Don't think that you can see my joke. I quit this line of work myself. It has nothing to do with anyone. Don't think that you can manipulate me!"

"Does it have anything to do with Javier?"

Nina was stunned. She clenched her fingers tightly, and the emotions in her eyes became thicker and thicker. Lyra seemed to have not seen through her thoughts. She continued, "I rejected JD's request to sign a contract with me because I did not want to become the next you. I have seen the designs that you have worked on together in the past few years. None of them is Javier's design style." In other words, among JD's designers, the most talented person was actually Nina. However, the officials were using Javier's name and attributed all the credit to him.

"How did you..."

Nina looked at her suspiciously and then looked at the door warily. "Have you brought people with you? Or are you using a recording device? Let me tell you, I don't know anything."

Seeing her guarded and nervous appearance, Lyra sighed and sat down. "I am not as despicable as them. They squeezed out all of your remaining value and you have to bear all of this. You want to quit because of Javier, right?" Nina's eyes gradually became hollow. After a long time, she closed her eyes in pain.

Tears flowed down her cheeks.

"So what if I'm more talented than him? The capital behind him is too strong. I can't compare to him. If I want to continue with this, talent alone is useless." Nina's voice was both painful and helpless. Lyra hesitated for a long time and slowly said, "What can I help you with?" "I don't need you to pity me!" Nina gritted her teeth and turned her head away. Lyra said slowly and unhurriedly. "You are so smart and talented. Even if you don't become a designer, you will be outstanding whatever you do." With that, Nina's psychological defense completely collapsed. She covered her face and cried as she sat on the bed. Lyra quietly got up and walked out quietly. It was cold outside today. As soon as she walked out of the hospital, reporters surrounded her. "Miss Jones, I heard that Nina has withdrawn. What do you think about this?" "What is going on? Nina refused to tell us. Do you know what the inside story is?" "You guys don't seem to have a good relationship either. You used to have a dispute on the program. Are you here to visit her now to create hype or to gloat?"

Looking at the microphones piled up in front of her, Lyra suddenly sneered. A sharp-eyed reporter immediately aimed the camera at her face. Lyra lifted her eyes, her eyes cold. "I will also withdraw from the competition." Under the surprised gazes of the reporters, she walked down the steps. She had had this idea ever since that happened. There was no meaning to participate in a dark game that was controlled by someone. If she guessed correctly, the design draft she had drawn would eventually be released with Javier's name. Furthermore, JD and LKD would continue to cooperate. Jiang Feina and Shen Qian would be the beneficiaries of this game. As for Shen Qian inviting her to sign a contract with JD, it was simply to abandon Nina and let her continue to be Javier's substitute. What a dirty group of people. Of course, she did not have the ability to help Nina make a comeback, but at least she could choose not to participate in those plots and schemes. When the news got out, Hank sat in the car and frowned, "She knows it." Keith sat on the co-pilot's seat and reported in a low voice, "The police station has officially concluded the investigation, and all the evidence has been sealed." Because the victim had shouldered everything herself. Therefore, this matter was left unsettled. "However, now that Miss Jones has withdrawn from the competition, it will push things in another uncontrollable direction." The corners of the man's mouth curled up slightly. He thought that she might do this, but he didn't expect that she would do it at such a time...

"Keith, contact the police station. I want to know who else is paying attention to this case." Was it he who was overthinking and this matter was only a scheme jointly set up by LKD and JD, or was his second uncle involved in it too?

"Yes, Mr. Barnwell." Keith immediately recorded this matter in his memorandum, but he then raised his head, "The investment department has already calculated the losses this time. The two players withdrawing from the competition in succession will also affect the profit of this reality show competition. But Mr. Carson's studio has issued a statement that the competition will continue." They were also worried that the Barnwell group would withdraw its investment. "It doesn't matter."

Keith was stunned. He did not quite understand what his boss meant. From the popularity of the competition, the funds invested would all go down the drain, and the losses would not be small. However, for Hank, this loss had another effect. "Go to the hotel." "Yes."

"Mr. Barnwell, Mr. and Mr. Hunter are still in the room, and they haven't met anyone yet." Just as Hank walked into the hotel, a manager came up to him. Hank agreed and walked straight into the elevator. A few minutes later, Shengkun received him in the room. "Did you come alone?" "It's just a small business deal with Mr. Hunter. Your daughter doesn't have to be present."
