My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 81 Good News

This was the first time she called him since the divorce!

He wondered what it was about.

"Jayden is at my place. Please take him back, President Flint." Sydney looked at the teenager sitting on her doorstep and felt a headache.

Julien's eyebrows knitted. "Jayden is at your place again?"

"Yes. I can't get rid of him."

"Alright, I'm coming over," Julien replied.

Sydney had nothing more to say to him and simply hung up the phone.

Julien looked at the screen that had jumped back to the menu and pursed his lips. Then, he got up and walked toward the office door.

About half an hour later, he arrived at the door of Sydney's apartment.

"Julien!" Jayden was like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw Julien. He hurriedly stood up from the ground. "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to take you back," Julien glanced at the door of the apartment behind Jayden and said in a low voice.

Jayden did not dare to disobey him and drooped his head. "How did you know I was here?"

Julien did not answer him and went up to knock on the door.

The door soon opened, and Sydney stood leaning against the shoe cabinet with a crutch under her arm.

An imperceptible trace of concern flashed in Julien's eyes when he saw her like this, and his voice softened greatly. "How’s your foot?"

"Not bad. It's not broken!" Sydney responded indifferently.

Jayden looked at her and then at Julien. "Bro, you don't seem surprised by her foot at all. Did you already know she was injured?"

Julien continued to ignore him and looked at Sydney for a moment of silence. "I'll have someone send some tonic later." This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"No thanks." Sydney refused bluntly.

Julien's face was flat. "Sydney Raines, can you not be so stubborn?"

"I'm stubborn?" Sydney was infuriated at his words." I'm stubborn because I don't want your tonic? What kind of reasoning is that?"

"I told you. Your foot got injured in my hotel, so I have to take responsibility," Julien said in a low voice.

Sydney waved her hand. "I don't need you to take responsibility. I just want to stay far, far away from you. Also, aren't you afraid that Ms. Madden will be unhappy if she knows you're insisting on taking responsibility like this? I don't want to be harmed by Ms. Madden again and end up with injuries all over my body."

"She won't do that." Julien frowned, his tone a little unhappy.

Lyra already promised him that she would not do such things again.

Sydney chuckled dryly. "Since you're so sure, then good for you. Alright, it's getting late and I want to rest. Goodbye."

She made a gesture, signaling that they could leave now.

Julien looked at her intently for a moment before taking Jayden and leaving.

Suddenly, Sydney called out to them again, "Wait."

Julien's heart was inexplicably happy, but he did not show it on the surface when he turned around. "Do you need anything?"

Sydney pointed to Jayden. "President Flint, please keep an eye on your brother in the future. Don't come to me and bother me, and don't cause trouble for me."

Jayden responded unhappily, "I'm not causing trouble for you." "Oh? Aren't you?" Sydney cocked her head. "If I call

Ms. Wilkins right now and tell her you're at my place, do you believe that she'll immediately run over and scold me for seducing her son?"

"I..." Jayden's throat choked as he suddenly ran out of words. His youthful and handsome face turned red.

He could not deny it.

That was because his mother would do that.

"So, don't come back in the future. I've already been more than benevolent by helping you twice. What I want most now is to completely cut ties with your family. Understand?"

Sydney's gaze swept indifferently over Jayden and finally settled on Julien's face. Two seconds later, she withdrew her gaze without hesitation and closed the door behind her.

Julien looked at the door in front of him, but all he saw in his mind were her eyes.

In the past, she still had affection for him in those eyes, but now it was completely gone. There was only icy coldness left.

This meant that she had let go of him!

When he realized this, his heart seized up violently. There was bitterness and also some pain.

He clearly should have been happy that Sydney let him go because he no longer had to be burdened with her feelings.

However, not only was he not happy now but his heart hurt instead. There was an emptiness as if he had just lost something very important.

Looking at Julien's clenched fists, Jayden gulped and asked carefully, "Julien, what are you doing?"

Did Julien get angry and want to beat her up because of her bad attitude?

He could not let that happen!

Thinking that way, Jayden hurriedly advised him, " Julien, actually..."

"Let's go!" Julien interrupted him and turned to walk toward the elevator.

Jayden paused for a moment. He looked at the door of Sydney's apartment, picked up the basketball on the floor, and chased after Julien.

Behind the door, Sydney finally sighed in relief when she saw the two people leave. She closed the peephole lid and returned to her bedroom.

The next day, Sydney was awakened by the sound of her phone.

She fished her phone from the bedside table and put it to her ear without looking at the screen. "Hello, who’s this?"

"It's me, President Raines." Sophie's clear and attractive voice sounded.

Sydney opened her eyes and sat up. "What's wrong?"

"Good news. The banks just called and said that they can continue to lend to us. The banks that have already lent us money also said that we can continue to repay the loan on schedule." Sophie could not hide the joy in her tone.

Sydney also smiled happily. "That's great."

"Yes, those banks also said yesterday that they were going to give us a 0.5% interest rate reduction. They're in the company now. When are you coming in, President Raines?"

"I'll come over now. Make sure you're a good host to them."

"Of course." Sophie nodded.

Sydney put down the phone and sighed in relief.

Skylight's crisis was finally solved.

Macy Graham should be paying the price for her own actions now, right?

At that thought, Sydney immediately searched the Internet for relevant news.

Sure enough, a lot of news about the Graham family's incident popped up.

Macy's father was demoted, and her uncles were also dismissed. The Graham family's power had completely shrunk by half and would no longer be the most powerful family in South Lake. They had sunk to the bottom.

However, Old Master Graham was still alive. That was the best result that they could have gotten.

If Old Master Graham was gone, Macy's father would have been removed from his position, and the Graham family would have withdrawn from the circle of powerful and noble families. They would become an ordinary family.

All this was caused by Macy.

Macy would hate Lyra in the future.

"Heh..." Sydney could not help but laugh. Her mood was as good as could be.

Just as she guessed, Macy indeed hated Lyra to death.

At that moment, Macy stood in front of the Leigh family mansion. Her face twisted as she held up her cell phone and called Lyra.

She no longer looked like a proud and arrogant young lady. The hatred and ferocity that filled her twisted expression made her beautiful face turn ugly.

The phone was swiftly answered, and Lyra's gentle voice sounded. "Ms. Graham. Do you need me for something?"

"Lyra Madden!" Macy gnashed her teeth and spat out her name.

Lyra paused but managed to forcefully maintain a smile. "What's wrong, Ms. Graham?" "Lyra, how dare you ask me what's wrong?" Macy yelled at the phone regardless of her image. "It's all your fault. If I hadn't helped you teach Sydney a lesson, I wouldn't have been caught and used against the Graham family. Now, the Graham family is in trouble and everyone blames me. Nathan also wants to divorce me. I've become someone who gets shouted and cursed at wherever I go. Are you happy now?"
