Mrs. Madden also thought that Julien was willing to save Lyra. Her heart was overjoyed as she threw a smug look at Sydney behind him, clearly saying, 'Look, even if you don't let Lyra off, someone else will save her'.Sydney almost vomited in disgust.When Julien saw Mrs. Madden's behavior, his eyes became even colder.Mrs. Madden did not notice at all and said excitedly, "It's simple. As long as you talk to the police, with your status, they'll listen to you. At worst, you can ask the Cohen family to come forward. The Cohen family is powerful. If they ask for it, the police will let Lyra go.""Hah." Julien sneered. "You think highly of me. Yes, it's true that I can save Lyra, but why would I do that?"When he said that, the happy look on Mrs. Madden's face suddenly froze. "What... What do you mean?"Sydney also looked at the man in front of her in surprise.What?Did he not plan on saving Lyra anymore?Clarice's eyes also lit up. Her hands clasped together excitedly.She tho
This woman was not simple!She was panicking earlier, but she swiftly calmed down again.Not only did she calm down quickly, but her brain also worked very fast. She thought of an explanation as to why she did not have her red mole in just a few seconds. Furthermore, that explanation was very reasonable, making people feel as if there was nothing wrong with it at all.Could Sydney and Hunter control such an intelligent person?After all, if someone like that decided to renegade, the consequences would be unimaginable!At that thought, Julien took out his phone as he walked toward the elevator and dialed Zach's number."President Flint." Zach's voice sounded.Julien pursed his lips and said in a cold voice, "Get someone to keep an eye on Denna Loffe. Let me know immediately if she behaves abnormally."He must not let this kind of person threaten Sydney.If she dared to even think of doing something she should not do, he would nip her in the bud.Although Zach did not know the
The lawyer told Sydney that even if she appealed, the second and third trials would only uphold the verdict of the first trial, so there was no point in appealing."Damn it!" Luke hammered his fist on the chair.Cayden did not say anything. He bowed his head so no one could see what he was thinking.Sydney watched Lyra being escorted down, and Brandon and his wife followed along.Seemingly sensing Sydney's gaze, Brandon and Mrs. Madden also turned toward her and shot her smug looks in unison.Mrs. Madden even wanted to walk up to Sydney and laugh in her face.These days, she had been running up and down looking for help because she thought that Lyra would go to jail. She met with countless closed doors and eye-rolls.When she thought about how Sydney and Julien looked at her like she was trash just an hour ago, she almost died from anger.Fortunately, her worries were lifted. Now, it was Sydney who would be angry.At that thought, Mrs. Madden touched Lyra's head and smiled at
Hearing Sydney's weak voice, Julien immediately swallowed the words he was about to say and hurriedly asked, "Sydney, what's wrong?""I'm fine." Sydney closed her eyes as her voice became weaker and weaker.Julien's expression fell.'Your voice is so weak. How can you call yourself fine?'"Where are you now?" he hurriedly asked again.This time, she did not answer. The phone slipped from her hand and dropped to the carpet with a thud.Her head lolled to the side, seemingly asleep.Julien's heart sank when he heard the sound of the phone dropping to the ground. He shouted her name twice more.However, she did not respond.He guessed that something might have happened to Sydney. His expression was tense and he hung up the phone and walked out of the office toward the tech support department."Find out where the signal of this number is," Julien handed the phone to a programmer and ordered in a stern voice.The programmer, who had never seen the boss of the company before, was
Finn seemed to guess what Julien was thinking and took off his glasses to wipe them. He said faintly, "The person didn't want to hurt Sydney and only targeted the child in her belly. It's very obvious that it was done by someone who has feelings for her. He did it because he couldn't accept that there’s another man's child in her belly. You can use the elimination method to figure out who it is."After saying that, he put his glasses back on and left to go and arrange a ward for Sydney.To him, as long as Sydney was fine, he did not care about the rest.Thus, he did not care about the child in Sydney's belly either.If Julien wanted to be angry, he could be angry alone.When Finn Left, Julien remained standing where he was because Sydney had not come out yet.He clenched his fists tightly, his face gloomy and unfathomable.The person who poisoned Sydney was someone who had feelings for her. There were three potential suspects.Luke Chase, Cayden Lowe, and Hunter Cohen!Was the
Mrs. Madden hugged her into her arms. “It’s all Harry’s fault. If he hadn’t carried you away, you wouldn’t end up in a family like that. Lyra knew all of this and yet she did it to her own sister. What is she thinking?!” Mrs. Madden softly tapped Clarice’s bag as she voiced her grievance. If Clarice had not been assumed gone, Lyra would not have ended up with the Madden family at all. She treated Lyra as her own and even when she got her biological daughter back, her love for Lyra did not decrease. However, Lyra treated her biological daughter poorly, which honestly shook her. Clarice noticed the growing resentment Mrs. Madden had for Lyra. At where Mrs. Madden could not see, she curled her lips into a grin. The grievance and sobs were gone. Finn’s height allowed him to see the minor changes on Clarice’s face, which caused him to raise a curious brow. ‘So, this is the eldest daughter that the Madden family found? She’s really something else. A few words and she turned her
Lyra felt as if time had stopped and the world went silent. The stillness froze her and stopped her from saying anything. The tremendous rage suffocated. Sydney Raines! It was Sydney again! Must she live under her shadow for her entire life? Julien’s pen pal was Sydney and Finn’s savior turned out to be her as well. The coincidence was uncanny because Lyra pretended to be Sydney both times! Why, why would fate toy her like this? “Aaaaaargh!” she screamed her lungs out. Finn stared at her emotionless. “Now you know why the sudden change of attitude.” Lyra quivered. She then asked, “You… When did you find out that I’m not your savior?” “When you told me to give Sydney an abortion,” Finn answered frankly. Lyra burst into tears and laughter. “I see, I see now. No wonder she and her baby lived. So, it was because of you. You claimed that you didn’t give her an abortion because Julien was outside and it was all an excuse just to brush me off.” Finn shrugged, acknowled
Julien turned off the phone with a grim look. He tossed the phone on the bed but his heart remained troubled, and at the same time, jealous. He was jealous that Luke could visit Sydney whenever he wanted and did not even need to ask for permission. He could not. He once had her, the woman he loved but in the end, he pushed her away. Julien grasped his chest and felt his heart. It was painful. He looked at the sleeping Sydney with a glimmering gaze. No matter what happened after this, he would never let her go again. She could only be his and no one else’s. The night went by slowly. On the second morning, Sydney slowly opened her eyes with a frown. The first thing she saw was the white ceiling and it caught her off guard. ‘Where am I?’ She remembered she was in her apartment but when he opened her eyes, she was somewhere else. Shocked, Sydney sat herself up and wanted to find out where she was. Just when she got up, she felt something pulling her hand. She turned
