Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! -
Chapter 311 Julien's Guess
Sydney smiled. "What I'm trying to say is, Trison Corporation is in debt now. If it were not for the fixed assets supporting the company, you would've gone bankrupt already. Even if it's not bankrupt yet, it's on the verge of bankruptcy, just like how Skylight was three months ago. In other words, Trison Corporation has no liquid assets at all now. To maintain Trison's basic operations, President Madden must've borrowed a lot of money everywhere, right? How would he let you take out 10 million to save Lyra?"
Mrs. Madden was instantly speechless when she heard this.
She slept beside Brandon's pillow. No one knew better than her how much Brandon struggled to borrow money from people these days.
However, because he was too arrogant before and offended a lot of people, the people in the circle were simply not willing to lend them money. After trying for so long, they only managed to borrow two hundred million, but that two hundred million disappeared into the stock market without so much of a splash. It was far from enough money to stabilize Trison Corporation.
Thus, every penny in the family now was crucial. If Brandon found out that she took so much money, he would definitely blow a fuse. Maybe it would not go as far as divorce, but he would lose all affection for her.
When Mrs. Madden thought of that result, she felt a twinge of fear in her heart, and her body could not stop shaking.
Sydney saw Mrs. Madden like this and smiled. "It seems like you don't plan on forking out that money after all."
Mrs. Madden's expression soured. "What exactly do you want in order to let Lyra go?"
Before she came here, the police called her and told her that Lyra had signed a confession, so she could not be released on bail, nor could she receive any visitors. They would only be able to meet her in
court.
The police also revealed to Mrs. Madden that the evidence of Lyra trying to harm Sydney and her false accusations against Sydney were conclusive. Thus, she would probably be convicted in the first trial itself and have no chance to appeal the sentence.
Mrs. Madden asked the lawyer if there was any way to save Lyra, and the lawyer's answer was to beg Sydney. As long as Sydney promised not to pursue Lyra, Lyra would be fine. Thus, she had to make Sydney promise to let Lyra go.
However, Sydney completely snuffed out Mrs. Madden's hopes. She flicked her hair and said in a cold voice, "1 won't let her off no matter what. I didn't have evidence of the multiple times she harmed me before, but this time is different. That's why I'll make sure she goes to jail."
"You..." Mrs. Madden's eyes widened as she pointed at Sydney with trembling hands. "You're so vicious!"
Clarice blinked in shock.
Vicious?
She looked down at Mrs. Madden in front of her.
'Although I like this new mother a lot, I have to admit that there's something wrong with her perception.
'Even someone like me who hasn't received an education knows that Lyra is the vicious one for plotting against Sydney. Sydney is just retaliating with the law.
How is that vicious?'
However, this mother was very good to her, so she could not say those words out loud.
Sydney laughed sarcastically as if she had just heard a joke. "No, no, no. Don't say that, Mrs. Madden. When it comes to viciousness, I can't compare to your youngest daughter at all. She pushed me down the stairs, plotted for me to be thrown off a horse, used a snake to bite me, arranged for multiple men to rape me, and even got someone to throw sulfuric acid on me. All these evil deeds have already gone far beyond just being 'vicious'. They're
heinous."
At those words, Mrs. Madden flushed and averted her eyes guiltily. "B...But you're fine."
"I'm fine, so I deserve to let Lyra get away with it scot-free?" Sydney's expression cooled.
Mrs. Madden's lips twitched twice.
Although she did not say anything, judging by her appearance, that was obviously what she thought.
Sydney shook her head, knowing that there was no point in speaking any further.
After all, one could never wake up a person who was pretending to be asleep.
She picked up her phone and called Brandon in front of Mrs. Madden." President Madden, this is Sydney Raines." Mrs. Madden widened her eyes and shouted, "What are you doing?" Sydney ignored her and continued to say on the phone, "Your wife is with me now. She told me that she'll give me ten million if I let Lyra go."
"What?" At the other end of the phone, Brandon suddenly stood up from his chair. His expression was gloomy and terrible.
'Ten million?
'She's really generous!'
He had just applied for a loan from the bank but was rejected. His anger was still stuck in his throat, but that woman Frances took ten million out to save that unfilial girl?
Did she not know how important ten million was to Trison?
Brandon trembled in anger. "Sydney, where's Frances now?"
Frances was Mrs. Madden's name.
Sydney looked at Mrs. Madden, who had a fearful expression, and smiled faintly." She's right in front of me. You can talk to her."
Then, she put the call on speakerphone and held it in front of Mrs. Madden.
Brandon's cold and angry roar sounded." Get back here at once!"
"Brandon, I..."
Brandon interrupted her. "Save it. If you don't come back within half an hour, don't blame me for being rude!"
Then, he hung up the phone.
Mrs. Madden's body shook.
Behind her, even Clarice was frightened.
Sydney put her phone away. "Would you still like to continue talking, Mrs. Madden?"
Mrs. Madden stood up and gave her a deep look. Her attitude returned to its usual high and mighty appearance as she looked at her in resentment.
"Just you wait. I'll definitely save Lyra.
Let's go, Clarice."
Mrs. Madden took Clarice's hand and strode toward the door.
The news of the Madden mother and daughter going to Skylight soon reached Zach's ears.
He knocked on the door and entered the president's office. "President Flint, according to the news from our people at Skylight, the Madden mother and daughter went to see Ms. Raines." "What?" Julien frowned. "Is it for Lyra?"
"Yes. However, their talks seemed to have failed. Mrs. Madden's expression was very unpleasant." Zach smiled mockingly.
A cold sneer also pulled on Julien's lips. " They went to the wrong person."
Sydney wanted Lyra to go to jail more than anyone else.
That was why going to Sydney was the worst move that Mrs. Madden could have taken.
"By the way, I told you to investigate Clarice Madden. How did it go?" Julien tapped his finger on the desk.
Zach pushed his glasses up and replied, "I found out a little." "A little?" Julien pursed his lips, obviously not satisfied with this answer.
Zach nodded and said helplessly, "Yes, a little. That's because previous information about Clarice was erased. It took me a lot of effort to replace just a little information.
Clarice's real name is Denna Loffe. She came from a rural family who favored boys over girls, and she was brought to Port City by Hunter Cohen."
"Hunter?" Julien's eyes widened.
Clarice's return involved not only Sydney, but Hunter?
What were Sydney and Hunter planning?
Seemingly guessing Julien's thoughts, Zach said seriously, "Mr. Cohen and Ms. Raines are probably planning something. I also found out that Denna Loffe isn't really Clarice Madden. Mr. Cohen placed fake DNA samples in major hospitals and appraisal institutions. Thus, no matter how much Brandon and his wife test it, Denna will always be their daughter. Ms. Raines should be in the know as well, otherwise, she wouldn't have handed the necklace to Denna."
Julien did not speak and furrowed his brows thoughtfully.
Soon, he suddenly remembered that Hunter and Sydney had one thing in common: they both regarded the Madden family as their greatest enemies. However, because of national policies, they could not directly attack Trison Corporation and bankrupt them.
Thus, they could only think of other ways to deal with Trison, and the best method was to get a hold of Trison's dark secrets. However, that was impossible to accomplish unless they had someone on the inside.
Was Denna Loffe acting as Sydney and Hunter's spy in the Madden family?
