Chapter 3 Mr. Barnwell Will Never See You
Fifteen minutes later, in the police station.
After Lyra finished recording the statement, she sat in a chair without any animation. She waited for two hours vainly for Hank. But his attorney showed.
The lawyer put down his briefcase and sat opposite her. He handed Lyra a few documents. “Miss Jones, Mr. Barnwell said that as long as you are willing, he will immediately sign this divorce agreement. Mr. Barnwell will give you the apartment in Mount Baker.”
His attitude was gentle but carried a professional indifference.
The words “divorce agreement” on the document stung Lyra’s eyes. She suddenly smiled. How impatient.
Seeing that she did not move for a long time, the lawyer took out a few documents from the file bag and handed them to Lyra. “This is the detailed information of Mr. Barnwell and your personal property. The two of you do not have any joint property. The apartment in Mount Baker is given to you entirely out of Mr. Barnwell’s personal friendship.”
‘In addition, this is the equity division that Mr. Barnwell made a year ago. The debt of the Jones Group completely belongs to you only. The Barnwell group does not have the responsibility to cover the debt for you.”
She got a series of information, including shares, real estate, credit cards, and so on.
Lyra’s heart suddenly turned cold. She finally understood that all of this was Hank’s premeditated plan and meticulous planning. He calculated so well and so deeply.
He planned every step perfectly.
Indeed, he was smart. Otherwise, her father would not have taken a fancy to his ability two years ago and made him her husband.
At such a young age, he established the Barnwell group and became the leading industry in Frouver.
Lyra sneered as if everything was within her expectations. She closed the document and pinched her palm. “Then I will never sign this divorce agreement. If he dares to marry Alma, I will sue him for bigamy.”
“Lyra!”
The lawyer wanted to persuade Lyra further, but seeing the sadness and determination in Lyra’s eyes, he stopped.
“Hank would never get married to Alma when he still has a wife, right? So, where is he now?” Lyra asked coldly.
After the lawyer weighed it, he told the truth, “Mr. Barnwell will meet with the boss of Phoenix Real Estate at 7 o’clock tonight, at Creek Club. Miss Jones, I will arrange the meeting for you after Mr. Barnwell’s meeting finishes…”
“No need.” Lyra interrupted coldly, “There are some things that only the two of us can solve.”
