Chapter 8 Do You Regret Divorcing Her?

In Flint Mansion, Velma was directing the maids to erase all traces of Sydney’s stay. The sheets she had slept in, the slippers she had worn, the apron she brought over, and even the dishes and cutlery she used before were all thrown away.

“What are you doing?” Julien, who came back to that scene, frowned slightly.

Velma snorted. “What’s the point of keeping that woman’s stuff? Lyra is going to marry into the family soon.”

Then, she looked around and quickly walked over to him. “Julien, you divorced her, right? She’s not getting a single penny of your hard-earned money!”

He said faintly, “She didn’t ask for any.”

Velma clearly did not believe him. “That’s impossible! She doesn’t have a dime to her name. How could she not try to wring a fortune out of you? How else will she get the money to keep other men outside?”

Julien’s temples throbbed at the thought of Sydney’s relationship with that male model. Not wanting to deal with Velma, he ordered Zach to take the divorce agreement and show it to her.

When he went upstairs, Lyra was sitting in front of the window reading a book.

She looked up and smiled softly at him. “You’re back.”

Julien looked at her serene smile, and the irritation in him eventually calmed down.

“Are you feeling better?”

“Yeah. I was bored in the room, so I found a book to pass the time.” Lyra gently put the book down on the bedside table and stood up to hug the man’s waist from behind. “Julien, do you regret divorcing her?”

Julien’s voice was low. “What’s there to regret? I don’t love her, and besides, she’s the one who cheated first.”

The corners of Lyra’s mouth curled up into a slight grin.

The man turned around and wrapped his arms around her. “Don’t mention her again. The most important thing now is your health. Your father will be holding a banquet for you next month, so you have to get well soon.”

Lyra blinked and smiled. “I know.”

After Julien left, she called the Madden family’s butler.

“What are your orders, Miss?”

“Tell my dad about Sydney hitting me with her car. You should know what to say, right?”

“Understood, Miss.”

Once she hung up the phone, Lyra turned her head to look at the cactus by the window. Her mouth then slowly curled up into a smirk.

Julien returned to the company and called Zach to him. “How is the ‘Azure Heart’ I asked you to prepare?”

Zach said respectfully, “Sir, there is news from Liberty saying that it’ll be flown over in about a week.”

The ‘Azure Heart’ necklace was a famous work from the internationally renowned Master K. There was only one in the country, and it was worth a fortune. Zach knew that Julien went through a lot of effort to buy it and was planning to propose to Ms. Madden at the Madden family banquet.

With that, Zach suddenly remembered the wife who had been with Julien for six years.

Julien had never given his wife a gift. He did not even gift her flowers, much less an expensive necklace.

Once, his wife came to visit the company with a lunch box but was driven away by Julien with a cold face, and she became the laughing stock of the company. All the employees knew that Julien did not take his wife seriously. She came by a few more times afterward but was turned away by the front desk.

Zach sighed. Julien’s treatment of his wife was less than one-thousandth of his gentleness to Ms. Madden.

The man hummed softly and did not speak. Instead, he lowered his head to deal with the documents.

Just then, a call came in.

Julien glanced at it. Seeing that it was from a good friend, he quickly picked it up. “What?”

The sound of a young man’s flirty voice sounded. “Julien, look at the latest headlines on the Internet.”

Julien did not know what he was up to, but he pulled out his phone. As he glanced at it casually, his gaze froze.

It was an intimate photo of Sydney and the male model. With his head down and her head up, the angle looked like they were kissing.
