Chapter 525 The Timing of Negotiations

This was also an opportunity for manoeuvre. He had to see Lyra with his own eyes to understand her

thoughts. Moreover, this kind of reaction was also reasonable, so when Keith nervously told Su

Yuan, the other side immediately agreed.

“Our Ms. Jones also said that she wanted to meet with Vice President Barnwell. It’s better to sit down

and make things clear.”

Keith went speechless.

“What? Is there a problem?” Su Yuan asked. “No problem, but I’m afraid this is a little troublesome.

Why don’t we let the two of them talk alone first?” Su Yuan refuted directly, “This is a big matter for the

two companies. Of course, all those involved have to be present. It’s not a one-on-one blind date. Our

Ms. Jones is already full of sincerity. If you don’t agree, then forget it. See you in court.” The call was

directly hung up. Keith was extremely annoyed, so he had to bite the bullet and go over to knock on the

door to apologize. In the end, he successfully took Lyra to the car and went directly to Huaien’s home.

On the way, Keith explained again and again, “Our Mr. Barnwell has something to do at the last minute,

but he will be there soon after he is done.” “Don’t worry,” said Lyra, looking out of the window. The

sunlight cast a faint halo over her body, as if she didn’t care about this at all. Her entire body carried a

calm attitude. Keith had already tried his best to drive very slowly. After dawdling outside Huaien’s Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

house for a while, Hank finally arrived with Lawyer Liu. “Ms. Jones, nice seeing you again!” Lawyer Liu

smiled and went forward to greet her. Because of the suggestion that Lyra gave him last time, he was

now a little famous in the industry and his career had advanced by leaps and bounds. Otherwise, when

Hank went to find him today, he would not have been so busy that he could not leave.

This caused Hank to almost smash his law office on the spot.

At this time, Hank’s whole attention was on Lyra.

Every subtle expression on her face was seen by the man who seemed to be confirming something.

Before they could enter… A group of people came out from inside.

A few of them were reporters and cameramen of the television station. The people who sent them out

were Qin Xiaoxiao and Huaien. Qin Xiaoxiao’s eyes were red. She urged Huaien to thank the reporters.

“Thank you for coming over to clarify the truth. We also don’t want the rumors to go on and affect our

peaceful lives.” “Don’t worry. We will immediately release the news,” The reporter said. But at this time,

someone noticed Hank and the others. “Mr. Barnwell!” The eagle-eyed cameraman had already begun

to capture the wonderful picture.

This kind of shura-like plot was too attractive. Not long ago, there was an accident during Huaien’s

operation. Lyra was the first person to be suspected. Although Huaien later expressed that he would

not investigate this matter, his attitude made people feel that there was something going on.

After that, the Barnwell Group’s power was returned to Hank.

Now that Huaien’s daughter, Qin Xiaoxiao, entered the Barnwell Group and became Vice President

Barnwell, did this mean that there would be a lot of uncertainty about the Barnwell Group’s ownership

in the future? The reporters immediately surrounded Hank and the others. “Mr. Barnwell, the financial

circle has been paying attention to the development direction of the Barnwell Group in the future. Can

you talk about it?” Hank frowned, his eyes cold. On the other side, Qin Xiaoxiao walked down the steps

under Huaien’s signal and said with a smile, “You are here. The food is ready. Let’s talk while eating.”

Looking at the surprised expressions of the reporters, Qin Xiaoxiao said generously, “This afternoon is

just an ordinary family dinner. Please stop asking about business.” The reporters looked at each other.

But who would invite their ex-wife and lawyer for a family gathering? However, the reporters still

expressed their agreement on Qin Xiaoxiao’s words and left Barnwell family one after another.

The moment the door closed, the few of them had different expressions.

“Brother Hank, why didn’t you tell me beforehand that you were coming over? If the reporters saw you,

they would start writing nonsense again.”

Hank glanced at her.

“You didn’t tell me in advance when you handed in the acquisition procedures,” he said, ignoring the

look on her face.

Qin Xiaoxiao bit the corner of her lips, and her eyes became more and more aggrieved.

But Hank ignored her and took Lyra inside. Huaien sat in a wheelchair, his eyes gloomy. But when he

saw Hank and Lyra approaching, his face gradually showed a smile. “Even if you don’t come, I will

invite you to come.” When he said this, he seemed to be generous and kind. However, after so many

things had happened, this fake smile of his was completely disgusting in Lyra’s eyes. “There’s no need

to act like this. Everyone is quite busy.” Lyra chuckled and walked in. The layout of the entire house

was very spacious. All the furniture exuded a sense of age, and the fragrance of pinewood permeated

the air, giving people a feeling of class and ease. However, Lyra’s first reaction was that Huaien was

not worthy of living here.

“The procedures for the Barnwell Group to purchase the Jones Group is almost over. It is impossible to

collect spilled water. Even if you are angry, don’t blame Xiaoxiao. She is young and has many things to

learn in this area…” Huaien planned to let Qin Xiaoxiao shoulder all the responsibility. If something

really happened, he would give up on Qin Xiaoxiao without mercy. Sadly, Qin Xiaoxiao stood by the

side and only said, “I misunderstood my dad and submitted the application materials. Lyra, I’m sorry.”

“No need. I am not worthy of your apologies.” Lyra said disdainfully, producing a copy of agreement.

“The matter is already set in stone. I have nothing to say, but asking for a little compensation is not too

much, right?” A hint of surprise flashed across Huaien’s eyes. After a while, he smiled and said, “Not

too much.” “Sign it then.” Lyra had already prepared the pen. “Now, just sign it, Ms. Qin,” he said to Qin

Xiaoxiao. Because on that agreement, there was already the official signature of Hank and the lawyer.

Qin Xiaoxiao subconsciously looked in Huaien’s direction.

Lyra pretended to be surprised and raised her voice. “What? Ms. Qin doesn’t keep your word? It seems

that Ms. Qin can’t call the shots here? Then, did you make the decision by yourself to buy the Jones

Group, or did you mishear his instructions?” Qin Xiaoxiao couldn’t answer for a moment. But the

agreement had already been delivered to her hand. “It doesn’t matter. I have one day to wait for you to

look through it slowly and make sure to sign it. This matter is over. If you don’t sign it, call those

reporters back and follow the legal procedures.” Lyra blinked, “Could it be that no one told you about

the consequences? If I sue you, you may be imprisoned.” She turned her head and asked Lawyer Liu,

“If someone steals other people’s information to commit commercial crimes, how many years will they

be sentenced?” “At least five years,” Lawyer Liu answered straightforwardly.
