Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 503 You Are Not Worthy

Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned on the spot. She watched as the elevator door closed and felt a chill down

her spine. She never expected that Hank would be so cold to her. “Brother Hank…” Where did the

young man in her memory go? When Qiao Lin appeared, Qin Xiaoxiao was still in a daze at the

elevator door. “Vice President Barnwell is calling you.” He suddenly said, and Qin Xiaoxiao was so Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

scared that her eyes shook.

“What?”

Qiao Lin grabbed her wrist and reminded her coldly, “You’ve already boarded this ship. There’s no way

you can go back on your word. Besides, you know so much. Vice President Barnwell will never let you

go.” Qin Xiaoxiao bit her lips hard. “No… I still have a choice. If I tell Hank now, he will definitely help

me.” Her hands trembled as she took out her phone from her bag. “I have a recording and evidence. I

want to expose everything.” “You are a smart girl. Why do you have to do such a stupid thing?” Qiao

Lin pressed his eyebrows and suddenly chuckled. Qin Xiaoxiao did not understand what he meant. In

the next second, she did not see Qiao Lin’s movements clearly. Her bag and phone were all taken

away. “Those who want to betray Vice President Barnwell will not have a good ending. Lachlan is a

living example. You are also an adult. Do you really think benefits come with no price?” If not for

Huaien, Qin Xiaoxiao would still be an ordinary college student. There would be no chance to enter the

Barnwell group’s internship, no chance to be interviewed by reporters, and wear branded bags and

clothes. But all of this was a conspiracy from the beginning. She was well aware of this, but because of

her greed, she willingly became their accomplice. Now that she had ended up like this, she had only

herself to blame. Qiao Lin brought her back to the door of the sick room. In the end, he was softhearted

and warned her in a low voice, “I won’t tell Vice President Barnwell about what

happened today. In the future, you have to be careful.” Qin Xiaoxiao didn’t have the time to say

anything. She had already been pushed into the ward. Seeing Huaien waving at her, Qin Xiaoxiao

timidly and nervously stepped forward to admit her mistake. “I didn’t catch up with him.” The fruits on

the ground were still scattered there. “Get ready. I will send you to Barnwell family tonight.” Huaien did

not blame her. “But, Hank doesn’t want to… see me at all.” The more Qin Xiaoxiao spoke, the softer

her voice became. Her eyes were humble and timid. In the end, she pursed her lips and lowered her

head. “Yes, I will get ready.” Huaien smiled in satisfaction. “You have been tired during this period of

time. Don’t worry, there will be a day when everything is over.” Huaien said, his eyes half-narrowed. It

was as if he was playing with everyone in his palm. Just looking at his eyes made Qin Xiaoxiao’s hair

stand on end.

Huaien did not avoid anyone’s visits, nor did he refuse to meet the media reporters. What he said was

like solid evidence, blaming everything on Lyra. However, he still seriously advised those reporters.

“This is also our Barnwell family’s family matter. I hope everyone can show mercy.” Everyone thought

that Huaien was a kind elder and even speculated that he was already threatened by Hank. Alma was

in a difficult situation in the detention center. The ‘friends’ who had been taking care of her began to

distance themselves from her. Every time she went to do psychological counseling, those people would

look at her with disgust.

“What exactly do you want?” Alma angrily kicked the basin in front of her. But the next second, she was

surrounded by a group of people. The leader, Sister Xia, sneered at her. “People like you are heartless.

Oh no, you have no conscience. Your sister is so good to you, but you are blinded by greed.” Alma’s

eyes turned cold. “You know Lyra?”

She asked this at this time, and there was a burst of laughter around her.

“Did she not know all this time?” “If Lyra didn’t ask Sister Xia for help, would we care about your life or

death?” “Sister Xia, just slap her out directly.” One by one, they cursed fiercely. Alma furrowed her

brows. She never thought that at this point, she was still receiving Lyra’s care. She leaned against the

wall and slowly squatted down. Bam…bam…bam… One bead after another bounced out of Sister

Xia’s hand and hit her.

It hurt and itched her, so Alma had to retreat first.

Sister Xia sneered, “Next time Lyra comes to see you, you should cut off your relationship with her.

Don’t drag her down.”

“What do you know? She did all those self-righteous things, but in the end, I have to thank her?” Alma

shouted at Sister Xia.

Sister Xia had already turned to leave. But when she heard this, she turned her head and stared at

Alma. Alma had never seen such a vicious and cold look in her eyes. “You two sisters are not like each

other at all. You can’t think about things like her, and you can’t be relieved about hatred. She will feel

bad and guilty every time you call her sister.” “But what about you?” “You feel bad and sorry for your

common enemy. Are you worthy of her?” “You don’t know anything at all! What qualifications do you

have to judge me?” Just as she finished speaking, Alma bit the corner of her lips and asked in a low

voice. The surrounding people immediately came up to hold her down. Sister Xia raised her hand. After

staring at Alma for a while, she said coldly, “Well, you have something in common after all. When she

first came in, she also looked like this. It seemed that her whole body was covered with thorns. You’re

both hedgehogs!”

Alma’s tears were hazy. “Don’t compare her to me.” What she didn’t understand the most was why

everyone thought she was wrong. Why were they all on Lyra’s side! “I really don’t understand what

happened between you two, but I have eyes. I can see. Think about it yourself. She doesn’t owe you

anything.” Sister Xia lowered her head

and sneered.

In that instant, the tension in Alma’s heart seemed to have broken. The people around her walked past

her, but she seemed to have lost her sense of hearing. She slowly raised her hand and stared at the

lines in her palm. The image of Lyra pulling her that day appeared in her mind. The person who caused

all this tragedy was not Lyra. It was just that she was trapped in the mud of hatred and could not

extricate herself, which was why she vented all her resentment on Lyra. Even Sister Xia, an outsider,

could see it. But she was in the trap and did not know. Tears welled up in Alma’s eyes as she squatted

there alone and cried for a long time. “But what can I do?” The next morning, Lawyer Liu came to visit

Alma. A lawsuit was placed in front of Alma, “According to the request of the plaintiff, we withdrew all

the lawsuits against Lachlan. After you check and sign it, I will think of a way to bail you out first.”

“What?”
