My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 48 He’s a Great Candidate for Your Second Husband

Sydney was pretending to be asleep to avoid chatting with Hunter.

Seeing that they were almost at Port City Middle School, she pulled out her phone to ask where Jayden was only to see a push notification from a business news app.

It turned out that two executives at Flint Corporation's South Lake branch and Loughtown branch ran away with money amounting to more than 75 million dollars, causing Brandon Madden to faint from anger.

The picture below was of a fainted Brandon being sent to the hospital.

Brandon’s money was taken away?

Great!

Sydney simply wanted to applaud at the news. She even wanted to thank the two executives who took Brandon's money and ran away.

Since she knew that the Raines family’s bankruptcy was related to Brandon, she had been trying to collect evidence and clear her father’s name. However, she could not find any clues.

She was naturally overjoyed to see Brandon being carried into the hospital!

When the car arrived at the entrance of the school, Hunter parked the car and unfastened his seatbelt while asking Sydney, "What are you going to do here? I remember that your family doesn't have relatives to deal with after they went bankrupt."

Sydney glanced at him. "Do you care about me so much that you did a background check on me?"

"We’re working together. It's only natural for me to check your background for my own benefit." Hunter jutted his lower lip out and chuckled. "Why? Did you think I took a fancy on you, Ms. Raines?"

It H

"It’s okay for you to think so." He rubbed his chin and said, "A divorcee as well as my good brother's woman. I'd like to have a try and see how different you are from other women."

"..." Sydney felt that compared to Hunter, Luke was simply an angel.

She ignored Hunter and went to the school gate to tell the security guard Jayden's name. She wrote 'parent' under the visitor column.

At that moment, her phone vibrated with a text message. It was a notification that there was a transaction on her bank card.

Sydney counted the number of zeros and was shocked.

15 million?

Did some company try to pay for a project and accidentally entered her card number?

Sydney was still stunned when she received a message from Cayden.

[CaydenLowe: I took on some jobs recently and earned a lot of money. I can't use all this money, so you use it first in case the company is short of cash.]

[SydneyRaines: You haven’t been to Bourbon that long, right? What kind of job did you take that paid so much?]

Cayden accompanied her to Skylight, subdued those difficult shareholders using a gentle tone, and the mall manager even treated Cayden respectfully when they went to the mall. All these scenes flashed in Sydney’s head.

She remembered what Luke said before and also began to be suspicious.

Was he just a model?

Before Cayden could reply, Sydney sent another message: [Executives from two branches of Flint Corporation ran away with 75 million dollars. Cay, is this related to you?]

After a few seconds, Cayden replied: [Brandon Madden's money was swept away? Poor thing.]

[CaydenLowe: Sis, I'm just a model and don't know about business. I don't know the executives of Flint Corporation either, so how could I have told them to run with millions of dollars of Brandon’s money?]

Layden soon sent another screenshot of the contract. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

[CaydenLowe: This is the contract I signed with the Collins family. Look at the amount. Doesn't it match the amount I transferred?]

Sydney read the contract carefully and sighed in relief. She felt like she had gone too far.

[SydneyRaines: I'm sorry, Cay. You were so worried about Skylight and me, but I suspected that you had done something illegal. That was wrong of me.]

[CaydenLowe: Don't worry about it. I won’t be able to come back to Port City for the New Year's, so remember to take care of yourself.]

[SydneyRaines: I will. Take care of yourself abroad too.]

"That male model just gave you 15 million. He seems to care about you a lot.” Hunter's voice suddenly sounded in Sydney's ears. "He's young but very considerate to you. He's a great candidate for your second husband."

"He’s like my brother." Sydney exited the chat room and glared at him for reading over her shoulder. "This is the money he spent to buy shares in Skylight."

She could not take Layden's money for nothing. She would transfer him some of Skylight's shares when the time came.

"He's quite clever. A person in a favorable position gains special advantages. He knows that principle well." Hunter tsked. "Ms. Raines, how do you sell the shares in your hands? Why don't I buy some too?"

Sydney ignored him and asked the security guard where the basketball court was before turning to leave.

In the basketball hall, the national team's basketball coach had signed up several students and chatted with their parents since 10 am.

Only Jayden's parents did not come.

The coach looked at the time and walked toward Jayden. "Jayden, I've already given you another half an hour. Why aren't your parents here yet?"

Jayden only looked outside the basketball court and did not say anything.

He called Sydney from morning, but she kept hanging up. Since she still was not here, it seemed like she would not come to help him.

"You're a good seedling and have potential. I have high hopes for you, but I also want to talk to your parents." The coach patted the teenager’s shoulder with a regretful look. "If your family doesn’t approve of you playing basketball, then there’s nothing I can do."

Jayden clenched his fists tightly and only whispered after a long while, "Can you wait a little longer? I'll call again..."

"Jayden, the coach already gave you an extra hour, but no one in your family is coming. It's clear that they don't support you playing basketball," a boy said, "Stop wasting the coach's time and let them go back and rest!"

The several other boys standing around him had all signed contracts for the tryout and had smug smiles on their faces.

Jayden glared at him.

"Why are you glaring at me? Did I strike a nerve?” The boy had a playful look as he mocked Jayden. "Geez, what's the point of being the young master of the Flint family? You're still at the mercy of your family and can’t even play basketball."

Then, he shook his head. "You poor, poor boy."

The boys beside him muffled their laughter.

"Say that again!" Jayden yelled at the boy. He rushed up in anger and tried to pick a fight with him.

"Hey, what are you doing? Are you trying to hit my son?" The boy’s mother stopped in front of him, crossed her arms, and glared at Jayden. "You little brat, don't think I’m afraid of you just because you're from the Flint family. Don’t you dare touch my son!"

The coach rushed up to stop Jayden and tried to soothe the situation. "Alright, alright. Since you’ve signed the contract, you all can leave with your parents...”

"I think that you're the pitiful one." A clear and cold female voice interjected.

The students and parents in the hall looked toward the entrance of the hall and saw a tall woman in a black coat come in. She had a gentle and quiet temperament, and the young man behind her was also handsome and stylish.

Jayden's eyes lit up when he saw Sydney arrive.

However, he became nervous when he saw Hunter behind her.

Damn it, did that woman tell his brother?

Was Hunter here to catch him?

The boy’s mother frowned and glared at Sydney. "Who did you say was pitiful?”

"You, of course, and your son." Sydney stood in front of the woman and curled her red lips. "It’s useful that my little brother is the young master of the Flint family. He has billions of assets to squander and doesn't have to do anything on his own."

Sydney raised her chin and asked the boy, "Hey, have you ever sat in a helicopter before?"

The boy subconsciously shook his head. "No..."

"That's pitiful. You haven't even sat in a helicopter before." Sydney shook her head. "Well, that makes sense since your parents are working for other people. They probably don't earn much, so you naturally won't know what it means to enjoy life. You’ll also have to continue working for others in the future."
