My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 116 Pretending to Faint

Sydney did not expect Lyra to be so shameless.

She actually did something like pretending to faint!

"President Flint, I think Ms. Madden will wake up soon," Sydney crossed her arms and said coldly.

Lyra, who was lying in Julien's arms, clenched her fist slightly when she heard those words.

What did that mean?

Did Sydney find out that she was just pretending to be unconscious?

Julien also caught what Sydney was implying and looked down at Lyra for a few seconds.

When he did not see anything unusual, he looked up again. "What do you have in mind?"

Sydney smiled. "It's very simple. Just let go. As long as she doesn't faint, she'll definitely have a reaction when she falls to the ground. You can give it a try."

Lyra's heart panicked and raced.

Sydney came up with such a method to force her to wake up.

She was too vicious!

Julien frowned. "What kind of method is that? Have you ever considered that Lyra would be injured by the

fall if she's unconscious?"

Lyra sighed in relief.

Thank goodness.

Julien would not listen to Sydney.

Sydney glanced over at Lyra's softening frown and sneered in her heart. "Since you can't bear to do that, let's try another method."

"What method?" Julien asked again.

Lyra also listened quietly.

"You'll know soon." Sydney smiled wickedly. She took out her phone, tapped it a few times, and walked toward the two people.

Lyra heard footsteps and panicked in her heart.

What was this woman going to do to her?

However, no matter what Sydney wanted to do, she had to hold back. She must not be exposed.

Sydney walked up to Lyra. Under Julien's suspicious gaze, she put the phone to Lyra's ear and then clicked play on the screen.

Clang!

A huge gong sounded.

Julien was so startled that his body tensed up and he almost threw Lyra out.

Fortunately, he remembered that he was holding her and avoided that consequence.

What surprised Sydney was that even Julien was shocked, but Lyra did not move a muscle at all. She continued to lay in his arms with her eyes tightly closed as if she had fainted.

Sydney could not help but frown.

If a normal person pretended to faint and heard this sound, they would definitely jump up in shock.

However, Lyra was about to hold back. It was clear how much willpower she used.

What a ruthless person. Sydney lost this round.

"My apologies, President Flint. It seems I guessed wrong. Ms. Madden fainted," Sydney took her phone back and said with a smile.

If Lyra did not even wake up from this, there was no point for Sydney to continue insisting that she was faking it. It would only make her appear unreasonable instead.

She had the recording in her hand, so she could report to the police at any time. There was no need to do it now.

Lyra instantly breathed a huge sigh of relief when she heard Sydney's words.

It seemed like Sydney would not force her to wake up again.

However, she took note of the prank earlier and swore

to get back at her twice over.

"I'll call you when Lyra wakes up.” Julien looked deeply at Sydney.

He did not blame Sydney for delaying himself in sending Lyra to the doctor because subconsciously, he also thought that Lyra might just be pretending to faint.

However, it seemed now that he was wrong about Lyra.

At that thought, he looked at Lyra apologetically.

"Sure, then I'll be waiting for your call," Sydney responded with a smile.

Julien went to the emergency department with Lyra in his arms.

Sydney also got ready to leave the place and go to the gastroenterology department to check her stomach.

For some reason, her stomach was hurting more and more.

Just then, her phone rang. It was from Luke. "Darling, have you finished visiting Old Madam Flint?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?” Sydney asked while she walked to the gastroenterology department.

Luke's voice became serious. "I found out how Brandon was released."

"Oh?” Sydney narrowed her eyes.

Luke snorted coldly. "Brandon got an official to let him out. Lyra went to see Brandon last night, and then she went to the Wright family."

“The Wright family?" Sydney pursed her lips. "The same family that a deputy mayor of Port City is also from, like the Cohen family?"

"Yes, that Wright family. Mr. Wright was college classmates with Brandon Madden."

Sydney sneered. "I didn't expect the Madden and Wright families to have such a relationship. No, I should say that it's easy for the Madden family to get involved with families involved in the government."

"Exactly. First, it was the Graham family, and now it's the Wright family,” Luke's lips curled as he said in a sour tone.

However, he soon laughed and gloated. "Darling, judging by recent events, don’t you think that as long as someone stands with the Madden family, they won't meet with a good end? Macy Graham and the Graham family, Kate Morgan and the Morgan family. I'm afraid the Wright family will also follow in their footsteps."

Sydney laughed. "That's true, but the Wright family is different. Unlike the Graham family, the Wright family is powerful in Port City. There's a regional difference."

"I don't think there's much of a difference. The Wright family and Cohen family are political enemies." Luke cackled. "Darling, I bet you didn't know this. Port City is about to have its election, and both the Wright and Cohen families are eyeing that position. They're basically fighting on stage now. Everyone in Port City knows that Brandon was arrested but was released by the Wright family."

"You mean to say that the Cohen family will use this against the Wright family?" A brilliant light flashed in Sydney's eyes.

Luke snapped his fingers. "My darling is the smartest. Yep, the Cohen family will definitely use this against the Wright family. When something happens to the Wright family, they'll hate Brandon as much as the Graham family hates Lyra. If not for the Graham family's troubles now, they would've dealt with the Madden family already."

"That's good news." The corners of Sydney's lips twitched up in amusement. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"That's not all." Luke continued, "The Madden family also offended the Cohen family this time."

"What happened?" Sydney was stunned.

Luke cackled wildly. "Did you think the Wright family took the risk to save Brandon just because they were friends in university? No way. The Wright family and the Cohen family are competing for the position of mayor, but because the political achievements of these two families are evenly matched, it's hard to tell who will get the position. Thus, the previous mayor assigned a task to the two families." "What task?" Sydney was very curious.

Luke shrugged. "I don't know the details either, but the two families are making great efforts to pull in investors. Whoever draws the most investment will complete the task sooner. The Madden family originally supported the Cohen family, but then they withdrew the funds and bounced to the Wright family instead."

"I get it. The Wright family must’ve used that as a condition to save Brandon."

Luke nodded. "That's right. Brandon suddenly withdrawing the funds made the Cohen family a joke. If the period for the task hadn't ended, the Cohen family would've lost the opportunity to compete for the position. Brandon had offended the Cohen family this time."

Sydney could not help but laugh at that. "The Madden family is quite capable of offending many bigwigs at once."

"Exactly.” Luke echoed.

Sydney saw that the elevator was almost here and got ready to end the call. "Alright, I'll talk to you later. Put Brandon's business aside for now. The Cohen family will deal with them for us. You keep an eye on the factory and tell the engineering team to speed up the construction."

"Don't worry, I know."

Sydney hummed, hung up the phone, and went into the elevator.

In the gastroenterology department.

The doctor held a checklist and sat in the chair with a solemn look.

Sydney clasped her hands uneasily. "Doctor, am I suffering from something serious?"
