Chapter 13 Kneel and Apologize

Sydney was confused.

Julien was considered a talented person, and the Flint family was a noble family too. Why was Velma acting like a wild woman from the countryside?

Her lips twitched. “Please get this straight. I have divorced your son, and I didn’t take a single penny from the Flint family.”

“Bullsh*t!” Velma did not believe her nonsense and refused to let it go. “How did a poor bum like you get the money to come to a high-end place like this otherwise? That money is from my son. I’m telling you, Sydney Raines, I won’t forgive you unless you kneel and apologize to me!”

Kneel and apologize?

Sydney was so exasperated that she wanted to laugh.

Velma had never had a sound mind before.

Thinking that it was worth wasting her time here, Sydney turned to leave.

However, Velma, who had made a scene, was not willing to let her go.

“Don’t you dare run away!” Velma reached out and grabbed Sydney’s hair on the back of her head.

Fortunately, Luke was prepared to push Velma aside and shielded Sydney behind him.

Luke deliberately used some force, and Velma fell backward uncontrollably, landing flat on her face. “Oh, my goodness!”

She looked up to see Luke’s disgusted eyes. She sat down on the ground and cried out, “What is this? A middle-aged woman like me was beaten by a little brat! I don’t want to live anymore–”

The number of onlookers grew, and even the general manager was drawn over.

Velma hurriedly pointed at Luke and complained to the manager. “It was this little b*stard who hit me. Ow, my waist... It hurts so much...”

She was a VIP customer of the store and had spent a lot of money there, so the manager naturally had to help her out.

His stern gaze swept over to Sydney and froze in shock when it landed on Cayden.

“Si–”

Cayden immediately interrupted him. “She’s lying. Pull up the surveillance if you don’t believe me."

The manager was an experienced person. As such, he looked around and nodded with an apologetic smile as if he was now a different person. “Yes, yes, yes. I’ll go check it immediately.”

The strange change made Sydney a touch more curious about Cayden.

Was he really just a poor student from a village?

When the manager came back, he had changed his stance and was speechless at Velma. “Lady, I think you should head back, or the police will arrive soon.”

Velma was stunned. “What police?”

The manager berated her bluntly. “The surveillance clearly showed that you made the first move. How can you say that he hit you? If you continue making a scene here, the police will definitely come and check the surveillance records. Then, you’ll be stuck with a reputation for deliberately twisting the truth.”

Velma was furious when she heard that. “How dare you?”

Seeing that she was still stirring up trouble, Luke laughed in anger and mocked Velma. “How can you be so shameless at such an old age? You Flint family deliberately tortured my darling, yet you still cling onto her when she has divorced your scumbag son? Don’t think I won’t hit you just because you’re an old woman. If you make me angry, I’ll beat you to death!”

Luke scarred Velma, who gritted her teeth and could only leave reluctantly.

Luke clicked his tongue and sneered. “That old hag only knows how to pick on the weak. Serves her right.”

Then, his phone suddenly rang. After answering it, the other party said something that made him glance at Sydney subconsciously.

She raised her brows. “Why are you looking at me like that? Is it about me?”

“A friend of mine said he saw Zach checking the roadside surveillance of Lyra Madden’s car accident six years ago!”

Sydney’s face went cold at his words.

Seeing that her expression was odd, Cayden turned to ask Luke. “What surveillance?”

Luke snorted without hiding his anger. “It’s that snake Lyra. When she woke up and learned that darling was married to Julien, she grew jealous and vengeful, so she deliberately distorted the facts. She insisted that her car accident was caused by Sydney hitting her out of jealousy. Julien is such a smart man. How could he not tell that it was a lie? I’m speechless.”

Cayden lowered his brows and mused, “Putting aside whether the video file still exists after so long, even if Julien got it by luck, what’s the use?”

“That’s true.” Luke thought about something, and his face suddenly changed. “If that evil woman can tell such a lie, will she make a fake video to target you?”

Sydney suddenly laughed, but the smile did not reach her eyes. “I thought that since I divorced Julien, our paths would never cross again. It seems like I was too naive. A certain someone doesn’t want to let me go.”

Brandon Madden had something to do with her father being framed, and his daughter put the charge of murder on Sydney’s head as soon as she woke up.

As expected of a father and daughter!

Sydney was too soft.

Then, her lips curled into a beautiful smile. “If Lyra doesn’t get up to anything, I won’t do anything either. But if she wants to harm me, I’ll make her understand that I’m not someone easy to mess with.”
