Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!
Chapter 356 Return the Favor

As for how to hide it...

Clarice bit her lip.

She discovered Sydney's identity because she accidentally saw the red mole on Sydney's wrist.

In that case, destroying that red mole would be a good way to hide her identity, right?

At that thought, Clarice clenched her fists. Her heart had already made a decision.

Her phone suddenly rang.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the messy emotions in her heart and calming herself down, then took out her phone and looked at it.

When she saw that it was from Mrs. Madden, she quickly answered, "Hi, Mom."

"Clarice, come home quickly." Mrs. Madden's voice on the phone was so anxious it sounded like she was about to cry.

Clarice straightened up. "Mom, what's wrong? What happened?"

"The police came to our house earlier and took Lyra away..." This time, Mrs. Madden burst out in tears. "They said that Lyra broke the law during the probation period. How is that possible? Lyra has been by our side this entire time and didn't do anything. How could she have broken the law? The police must be framing her!"

Clarice rolled her eyes at those words.

'Framing Lyra?

'Even someone like me who didn't receive an education knows that the police won't frame citizens.

'How could my mother, who received higher education, be so ignorant?'

However, that was not important. What was important was that Lyra was taken away by the police.

'It seems like Ms. Raines did it. She asked me to record Lyra's confession because she wanted to throw Lyra in jail.

'I didn't expect Ms. Raines to be so efficient. It's only been a few hours, but the police have already come to arrest Lyra.'

Clarice could not hide the excitement on her face, but her mouth comforted, "Mom, calm down. Maybe the police made a mistake and only told Lyra to cooperate with their investigation. Maybe she'll be back soon."

"Cooperate with their investigation? They already issued a warrant for arrest." Mrs. Madden sobbed.

She did not know the police system, but she knew that issuing an arrest warrant meant imprisonment, not investigation.

In other words, Lyra could not come back.

"That's... It seems the situation is quite serious." Clarice pretended to be troubled. However, she was overjoyed in her heart.

Mrs. Madden choked up. "Clarice, what should we do now?"

Clarice lowered her eyes.

'What else can you do? Just accept the reality.

'You can't keep thinking of ways to save Lyra, right?'

Clarice knew that her mother wanted to save Lyra, but she did not!

Although that was what she thought, she did not dare to say it out loud. She closed her eyes to conceal the gloom in her gaze, and said, "I don't know either. Let's wait for Dad to come back and talk about it." "No, you can't let your father come." Mrs. Madden seemed to be provoked and hurriedly rejected the proposal with a shrill voice.

A light flashed in Clarice's eyes. Her lips curled up, but she pretended to be confused and asked, "Why not?"

"Because your father said last time that if Lyra broke the law during the probation period, he won't care about Lyra anymore and will act as if Lyra isn't his daughter. Last time, Trison Corporation almost went bankrupt because of Lyra. Now that Trison finally stabilized, if news about Lyra committing a crime during probation is released, Trison will be plunged into turmoil again. If that happens..."

"If that happens?" The smile on Clarice's lips grew deeper and deeper.

Mrs. Madden sobbed twice. "If that happens, your father will lose all his credibility in the company. The shares in his hands will also be taken away because of the loan. By then, Trison Corporation will no longer belong to the Madden family.

"I see. It seems we can't tell Dad." Clarice pretended to nod in understanding.

She already knew that Brandon would not care about Lyra this time since she overheard his conversation by chance in the past. That was why she suggested that Mrs. Madden talk to Brandon. It was because she knew very well that

Mrs. Madden would not tell Brandon. Even if she did, Brandon would not help Lyra, so the result would be the same.

The reason why she said it anyway was to kick the ball to Brandon's side. That way, Mrs. Madden would not keep pestering her for a way to help Lyra.

"Clarice..." Mrs. Madden still wanted to say something.

Clarice immediately interrupted her." Mom, take it easy first. Let's talk when I get back. I'm on the road now. I'm a little dizzy.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything now. You rest in the car for a while." Mrs. Madden immediately swallowed the words she was about to say when she heard that Clarice was uncomfortable. Clarice hummed and hung up the phone, lowering her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking about.

In the police station.

After Sydney hung up the call to Luke, she heard several footsteps coming from behind her.

When she looked back, she saw several police officers escorting Lyra in.

Wow!

Sydney smiled, her gaze fixed on Lyra.

Lyra was sitting in a wheelchair with her head down, so Sydney could not see the expression on her face.

Thus, she did not know whether Lyra was scared or panicked at the moment.

This made Sydney feel a little regretful.

Seemingly sensing her gaze, Lyra lifted her head and met Sydney's eyes. There were no ripples in her gaze.

Similarly, Lyra's expression did not contain any fear, panic, or even hatred or anger. On the contrary, she looked completely calm.

She did not look like a person who knew she was going to jail.

This anomaly made Sydney could not help but frown.

Even Zach, who was beside her, raised his brows.

Soon, Lyra was taken away and brought into the interrogation room.

During this period, except for making eye contact with Sydney, Lyra did not say a single word.

It was as if they were strangers instead of enemies.

"There's something wrong with her." Zach's voice rang out from the side.

Sydney nodded. "It's very strange. It's not like how Lyra would usually react."

In her opinion, with Lyra's personality, she would rush up the moment she saw Sydney and get violent. She would not remain this calm.

"Should I investigate her behavior?" Zach looked at Sydney.

Sydney waved her hand. "No. I'm not interested to know why she's like this. I just need to know when she'll go to jail.

Well, I'll go back now. You should go too, Zach."

"Sure." Zach nodded.

Sydney went out of the police station.

What happened next would be left to the police. There was no point in her staying here.

She might as well go back and wait for the results.

After walking out of the station, she hailed a cab and returned to Skylight.

When she arrived, she bumped into Luke, who drove over.

Luke carried a bag in his hand. "Darling."

Sydney smiled at him. "Did you bring it?"

"Yep, but what do you need this for?" Luke handed the bag to her.

Sydney walked toward Skylight's entrance and said, "I'm returning it to Julien." "What?" Luke was stunned, and his voice rose. "You want to return the Azure Heart to Julien?" "Yeah." Sydney nodded.

Luke stopped her. "Wait, why are you returning it to him? You went through so much just to take it from him. Why did you take it in the first place if you were going to return it?" Sydney's eyes flashed. "Back then, I took the Azure Heart because I wanted to teach Lyra a lesson for slandering me for hitting her six years ago. By taking the Azure Heart, I prevented her from possessing it and even ruined their engagement ceremony. However, things are different now." "What do you mean?" Luke frowned.

Sydney looked at him. "Lyra is going to jail.

It was thanks to Julien, so I have to return this favor."

However, even after returning this favor, she still owed him several more favors.

She would return the favors little by little while she had the chance.
