Chapter 517 Lyra Killed Herself"It's quite mysterious." The Old Madam took a sip of the tea. "Since you have said so, I will not ask anymore, but there is one thing I want to know. Sydney didn't realize that she had fallen in love with you again, so I wanted to tell her about it, but why did you stop me?""Because it's not the right time yet." Julien leaned back. "Sydney is not aware of her feelings for me. If we tell her about it, she will not accept the fact and even resist it, so I want her to discover it herself and gradually accept the fact that she loves me."It was unwise to let others tell Sydney the truth. She might even run away and avoid him because she couldn't accept it.Thus, the best and more practical way was to wait for Sydney to figure this out herself and accept him.The Old Madam nodded thoughtfully. "You have a point. Since you have decided, you can do as you wish, but I hope you will marry Sydney soon. As for Velma, you don't need to worry about her. I wil
Chapter 518 Fashion Icon — JulienAs Sydney was the plaintiff in Lyra's case, the police would notify her of whatever happened to Lyra.That was why as soon as Lyra committed suicide, the police immediately told Sydney about it."Lyra... She committed suicide," Sydney murmured in disbelief.Zach’s eyes widened in shock. "What? Lyra committed suicide. How could it be possible?"Julien took the phone from Sydney's hand and asked, "Why did Lyra commit suicide?"Jase recognized Julien's voice and answered, "We haven’t found out the reason yet. No one expected Lyra to commit suicide, and no one knows why she did so. We guess the reason why she killed herself was that she didn’t want to be put in prison. After all, she will be sent to prison tomorrow. But...""But this guess is not very convincing," Julien said with his eyes narrowed.Jase nodded. "Yes. If Lyra really committed suicide to escape being jailed, she would have committed suicide on the first day of execution outside pris
Chapter 519 Sydney Passed OutSydney nodded."Go ahead." Julien said.Sydney's lips twitched. She was frightened.It was a dead body after all.Sydney had never seen a dead body before, except on TV, and she had never been to the scene of an accident, so she was scared.Seeing that Sydney was frightened, Julien gently squeezed her hand. "It's okay. I'm right here."Sydney turned to Julien.Looking at the calmness on his face and the attentiveness in his eyes, Sydney felt the fear in her heart was alleviated."Let's go." Julien sensed Sydney calming down a bit. He took her hand and walked forward.Sydney followed him. Watching Julien’s figure, she fell into a daze, and her eyes flickered."There you are." Jase was taking notes. Seeing Sydney and Julien coming, he immediately closed his notebook and walked up to them.Julien nodded slightly, "How's it going?" His eyes looked to the front.The place was surrounded by doctors and police officers, and Julien couldn't see what w
Chapter 520 The Body Was Not Lyra'sFinn crouched down next to the body. He replied, without looking up, "This woman jumped off the building. She landed on her head, and she cracked her skull, which killed her. Other than that,..."He lifted Lyra's arm and squeezed it, from her fingers to her shoulder. Suddenly, his face changed color slightly.Her bones…Finn dropped the arm and quickly grabbed Lyra's other arm and squeezed it from her fingers up to her shoulder. Then he narrowed his eyes. An eerie dark glimmer flashed across the bottom of his eyes."What's going on?" Julien asked. The strange look in Finn’s eyes aroused Julien's suspicion.Finn stood up. He did not answer. He turned to Jase, "Please send the body to the morgue. I’m going to perform an autopsy on the body.""If you want to dissect the body, I need to ask for permission from my superior," Jase said with a frown.Finn nodded as he removed his gloves, "Please do it quickly. It's crucial to this case."Jase glanc
Chapter 521 Mrs. Madden's CurseSydney was thinking about something on a bench motionlessly. She held the bottle with her hands tightly and lowered her head.Suddenly, she heard a burst of rapid footsteps and a woman's heartbreaking cries. "Lyra... My poor Lyra..."It was Mrs. Madden!Sydney raised her head and turned around. As expected, she saw Brandon, his wife, and Clarice walking toward her.Although the Maddens had cut ties with Lyra, Brandon and his wife still had affection for her.It was widely spread that Lyra had committed suicide, so they got the news and came here."Lyra! My poor Lyra!" Mrs. Madden walked in front, stumbled, and cried sadly.Brandon took her by the arm. "Slow down. Be careful."Mrs. Madden grabbed his sleeve and shouted with scarlet eyes, "How can I slow down? Lyra jumped from the building to commit suicide. She is dead!"Brandon sighed, "I know that you're sad. Lyra is dead. I also feel sad. But please calm down. If you fall ill, I will be worri
Chapter 522 The Doubts Are DispelledSydney remained silent and turned away. She knew Brandon wasn't acting because she made up that excuse herself. She had to convince herself that she didn't help him out of concern, but rather because she didn't want him to cause her trouble and claimed that she made him fall.After all, Brandon and his wife were capable of doing so.Brandon didn't argue with Sydney because she wasn't saying anything, and he was in pain. Then he instructed Mrs. Madden to take him to the doctor right away for pain medication.Mrs. Madden wanted to teach Sydney a lesson and vent her rage, but she was aware of the status quo. Then, she only gave Sydney a sidelong glance before dragging Brandon away. Because Brandon was the family's rock, if he fell, a weak woman like her would lose the entire family fortune to the company's shady shareholders.Mrs. Madden helped Brandon out of here, but she was so rushed that she didn't notice Clarice staying behind.Clari
Chapter 523 The Pleasure of JulienJulien felt annoyed the moment he saw that the call was from Luke.But when he heard Sydney’s words, he became happy immediately.‘Since Sydney tells me who calls her, she doesn’t want me to misunderstand her, though she doesn’t notice it herself.’"Answer his call." Julien began to walk slowly. "He must have read the news of Lyra's suicide, so he calls you.""I think so, too." Nodding, Sydney answered the call and turned on the amplifier.As expected, Luke's loud voice came from the end of the phone. "Darling, have you read the news on the Internet? Lyra has committed suicide. Is it true?""Yes, it’s true," Sydney replied. "The police have informed me that Lyra did jump out of a window to commit suicide. I'm at the scene now.""What?" Luke gasped. "She has really committed suicide! I thought it was fake news deliberately fabricated by the media to grab people’s attention. I didn't expect Lyra to commit suicide!""Yes. No one expected it." Sy
Chapter 524 Macy and Kate"Have you found out the woman's identity?" Julien asked with a grim face. That was the most crucial question at the moment.Finn pushed up his glasses and answered, "Not at the moment. I took the woman's fingerprints and matched them with those in the database, but none of them matched, so you need to find out the woman’s identity yourselves.""It's going to be difficult." Sydney bit her lower lip.Sydney only caught a glimpse of the woman's face. The woman's face had been completely smashed. Finn couldn't identify her based on her fingerprints. It was hard to find out the identity of the woman.Just then, a police officer hurried in with some papers in his hand. "Sir, this is Lyra's visitation record."Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to the papers in the officer's hand."Give it to me." Julien stepped forward and took the papers.Sydney walked over and stood beside Julien. She tilted her head to read the record together with him.There were only
