My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 74 These Two Things Are Related

Julien shook his head. "I'm not defending her. It's just a fact."

"But..." Mrs. Madden still wanted to say something.

Lyra tugged her sleeve and forced a smile. "Forget it, Mom. Since Julien thinks Ms. Raines didn't do it, it should be true."

Julien's brows knitted into a frown when he heard her. He felt like something was off about what she said, but he could not point it out.

However, Mrs. Madden understood Lyra and glared at him angrily.

When Lyra woke up, she said that she personally heard the kidnapper say that it was Sydney who instructed the fox man to get revenge on Lyra.

Yet, Julien was still defending Sydney, and it upset Lyra, who still protected him.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door to the ward. Zach stood at the door. "President Flint."

"What is it?" Julien's thin lips parted.

Zach glanced at Lyra. "The background check you told me to run on Layden Lowe is done."

Julien's eyes narrowed. "Wait for me outside." "Yes," Zach answered and left through the door.

Julien pulled his arm out. "I'm going out for a bit, Lyra."

Lyra nodded with a smile. "Okay."

Julien helped her lie down and covered her with the blanket before getting up and going out.

After the door closed, he looked at Zach.

Zach handed him a document in his hand. "President, this is the data on Layden Lowe. He's an orphan who grew up in Rivervale. When he was ten, he was sponsored by Ms. Raines and her father to go to school to study. When he became an adult, he was headhunted by a talent scout and joined the modeling industry because of his looks. In short, he's not the fox man."

"He's not?" Julien frowned.

Zach nodded. "Yes. I asked President Madden. He saw the fox man twice, and from President Madden's description, the fox man is an expert hacker. However, Layden Lowe doesn't have any experience in that field. Moreover, Layden has been in the snowy mountains for a photo shoot and even caught a cold, while the fox man didn't. Thus, it's certain that Layden is not the fox man.

"President Flint, what should we do now?" Zach looked at the man.

Julien pondered for a moment and pursed his thin lips before saying, "Check Sydney's interpersonal relationships. The fox man must definitely be

someone Sydney knows. Investigate all those people." "Understood." Zach nodded.

"President Flint." A reserved female voice came from behind him.

Julien turned around to see Kate Morgan and Macy Graham walking his way with flowers in their arms.

"President Flint, is Lyra inside?" Kate did not dare to look directly at the man. She bowed her head slightly and said somewhat timidly, "We heard that Lyra got sick, so we came to see her." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"She's in the ward." Julien pointed to the door of the ward.

"Thank you, President Flint." Kate's face lit up with joy, and she turned to look at Macy beside her. "Let's go in, Ms. Graham."

"Mm." Macy lifted her chin arrogantly.

Kate went forward and knocked on the door.

Meanwhile, Macy stood where she was and sized Julien up.

She had not observed the man closely in the room last time, but she finally got a good look this time. Julien really was an exceptional man.

In terms of appearance alone, her husband Nathan Leigh was no match for him.

At the thought of the man who wanted to divorce her, Macy's eyes darkened, and she looked away.

"Ms. Graham, Lyra has told us to go in." Kate opened the door of the ward and waved at Macy.

"I'm coming," Macy answered. She nodded at Julien before walking over in her high heels.

"Let's go." Julien tossed the documents in his hands into Zach's and walked towards the elevator.

Zach followed behind him. "President Flint, aren't you going to stay with Ms. Madden?"

"No, it's Ms. Graham and the others' company is enough," Julien replied calmly. Then, he took out his phone and sent a message to Lyra, telling her that he was leaving.

Lyra saw the message on her phone and bit her lower lip. Although she felt uncomfortable with it, she responded: [Okay.]

"What's wrong, Lyra?" Kate put away the flowers and asked when she saw that Lyra was unhappy.

Lyra put away her phone and smiled. "It's nothing. Thank you for coming to see me."

"It's fine. We're basically sisters." Kate waved her hand.

Macy sat on the chair by the hospital bed, her legs folded elegantly. "I heard that you were kidnapped. What happened?"

Although that matter was not publicly announced, the Madden family did not conceal the fact that Lyra was admitted to the hospital. Hence, the whole circle knew about it. With just a quick check, they were able to find out why she ended up in the hospital.

Kate's mouth fell open in shock. "Lyra, you were kidnapped? Who did it?"

Lyra's eyes watered, but she forced a smile on her face. "It was Ms. Raines's suitor. I accidentally hurt her the other day, so her suitor kidnapped me in order to avenge her."

"What? That's too much! You did it by accident, yet that stupid suitor actually kidnapped you!" Kate went red with anger and said indignantly.

Lyra gave a wry smile. "Maybe he thought that I deliberately harmed Ms. Raines, so he..."

She trailed off.

Kate's chest rose and fell angrily. "Hmph! I think this matter definitely has something to do with Sydney. Maybe it was her who instructed her suitor to do that."

"No, Julien said it had nothing to do with Ms. Raines." Lyra waved her hand, looking as though she was afraid that they would misunderstand.

Macy stroked her chin and mused, "How would he know it's not related to Sydney?"

"I don't know either. Maybe he asked her?" Lyra shook her head and said with a gloomy expression.

Kate planted her hands on her waist. "President Flint must have been deceived by Sydney. Lyra, we can't let

her get away with this."

"But..." Lyra bit her lips, seemingly in a difficult position.

Kate was heartbroken to see her like that. "But nothing. She bullied you so badly and even had the guts to let someone kidnap you. There's no telling what she'll do to you next time. We have to teach her a lesson and let her know that we're not an easy bunch to bully either."

"I'll do it," Macy spoke in a cold voice.

Lyra looked at her. "What are you planning to do, Ms. Graham?"

Macy flicked her red nails. "I heard that Skylight is getting a loan from the bank recently. I can start from there. It'll be difficult for Skylight to continue operating without the bank granting them funds."

At that, she took out her cell phone and called the presidents of the major banks.

Kate looked at her with admiration.

When Lyra saw that, the corners of her mouth curled up into a grin.

Meanwhile, at Skylight, Sophie hurriedly walked into Sydney's office. "President Raines, bad news.

Something happened."

"What's wrong?" Sydney looked up from behind a pile of documents.

Sophie reported, "I just received calls from several banks, saying that our loan conditions have not been met and that they can't lend capital to us. Several other banks that have lent us money said

that there was an error in the review and asked us to return the loan immediately."

"What?" Sydney was shocked, and she clenched the pen in her hand. "How did that happen?"

"I don't know, but the banks are doing this at the same time. I'm guessing that someone must be trying to sabotage us," Sophie said to her.

A name instantly came to Sydney's mind. "Brandon Madden!"

"You mean Trison Corporation is behind this?"

Sydney narrowed her eyes. "I don't think there's anyone else besides them."

If it was really Brandon's doing, it must be because of that piece of land.

Otherwise, it was because of Lyra. In any case, it must have something to do with those two things.

"President Raines, what should we do now?" Sophie asked.
