My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 146 It Wasn't an Accident

At that moment, the cable car arrived.

The group ended their conversation and took the cable car down the mountain.

As soon as they returned to the villa, Sydney saw the chef send the doctor away.

"It looks like Lyra is fine," Sharon said, crossing her arms.

The corner of Luke's lips tugged. "Scourges stay for a millennium. She won't be that easy to get rid of."

"Alright, stop saying that. Let's go in first." Sydney looked away and entered the villa.

Luke and the others followed her.

Julien was making a phone call in the living room. His eyes flickered when he saw them enter.

"Julien, is Ms. Madden all right?" Although Hunter already figured that Lyra was fine, he still asked politely, lest he was called callous.

"She's fine. The snake wasn't venomous." Julien put down his phone and responded.

"What a pity," Sharon suddenly said.

Julien frowned, and the temperature around him dropped.

He gave Sharon a cold look before shifting his gaze to Hunter and saying with a voice devoid of emotion,' Watch your people."

Before Hunter could reply, Luke said with a smile, "I think what Sharon said is right. It's a shame that the snake wasn't venomous. Didn't you know, President Flint? Lyra only got bitten by the snake

because she was trying to harm my darling but failed."

"What do you mean?" Julien narrowed his eyes. He suddenly realized that the matter was not as simple as it seemed.

Luke took Sydney's shoulders. "I mean, Lyra noticed the snake long ago and wanted to startle it into biting my darling. However, since Sharon saved my darling, the snake ended up biting Lyra."

Julien's eyes widened in shock. He was obviously stunned by the truth of the matter.

He looked at Sydney. "Is that true?"

Sydney averted her gaze, not even wanting to pay attention to him.

Deep down, Julien felt upset when he saw that, but his face remained as cold as ever.

"Of course, it's true. Do you think we'd lie to you? We're not that shameless." Luke rolled his eyes.

Julien swept his gaze over the faces of the people in front of him. Through the expressions on their faces, he confirmed that what Luke said was true and

clenched his fists.

Lyra...

"President Flint, how are you going to handle this matter? You have to give us an explanation for the incident, right?" Luke sneered as he looked at Julien, who had lowered his eyes.

Julien pursed his lips and stood up. "I will."

"Good. In that case, we'll be waiting. I hope you won't let us down, President Flint." Luke smiled.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

After that, Julien ignored him as he lifted his feet to go upstairs.

"Julien, wait for me." Jayden hurriedly chased after him. "I have something to say to you."

He had to persuade his older brother.

He had to get his brother to break up with Lyra.

The two brothers' figures disappeared at the stairway.

Only then did Luke cackle and approach Sydney." Darling, guess what that kid is going to say to Julien?"

"Who knows? I'm not interested." Sydney chuckled and shook Luke's hand off. "I'm going back to my room to change."

After that, she went up as well.

Only Hunter, Sharon, and Luke were left in the living room.

The three of them exchanged glances.

Sharon yawned and said, "I'll head back to my room too. I'm going to take a bath and then nap."

"I'll go horseback riding for a while," Hunter also said.

With that, one of them went up, while the other walked out of the villa.

"Where shall I go?" Luke looked around before finally sighing. He simply sat on the sofa and watched TV.

Hunter went to the stables, chose a horse, and led it to the equestrian park.

The park was currently being cleaned, so he could not enter until it was done.

Hunter tethered the horse to the side and leaned against the fence with a glass of juice, watching comfortably as a group of workers cleaned the park.

At that moment, a worker suddenly bent down, picked something up, and shouted toward the worker with the red hat in the distance. "Captain, come here for a moment. I found something."

"What is it?" The captain trotted over.

The worker handed him the small glass bottle in his hand. "It's this. I just opened it and checked. It's musk."

"Musk?" The captain frowned.

The worker nodded. "Yeah. There are two in here, but deducing from the height of this bottle and the

volume of the musk, there should've been three in the bottle. I suspect that it's the same three that we lost in the warehouse."

"It must be. I wonder where the third one in this bottle went," the captain said in a low voice.

Hunter walked over curiously. "What's going on?"

The captain knew he was a customer and did not hide it from him. He said with a smile, "Our staff found musk on the ground."

"Musk?" Hunter raised his brows. "What's that?"

"It's a kind of pill refined from a stallion's secretions. It's used to stimulate a mare into heat. Horses are animals with a very low rate of heat, so in order to produce foals, we horse breeders will use

this to stimulate the mare into starting estrus," the captain explained.

Hunter nodded in realization. "So that's what it is. How did it end up here?"

"We're confused about that as well. Yesterday, the workers found three missing when they went to check the warehouse, but I didn't expect to find them here." The captain scratched his hair and was also puzzled.

"It seems like someone stole it. They have even used one," Hunter said.

"This thing only works on mares, and it has no other use. How strange is this person who stole it?" The worker was confused.

"Wait. You said it went missing yesterday?" Hunter suddenly thought of something and asked with a serious expression.

The captain nodded. "Yes. We check the warehouse every day, and we found three musks missing yesterday. It wasn't anything important, so we didn't care too much about it."

Hunter narrowed his eyes.

The musk was only useful for mares, and it was stolen yesterday - the same day as when Sydney's mare suddenly went into heat at the equestrian park. It seemed like it was no accident that Sydney almost got thrown off her horse. Someone had done it on purpose.

That person used a musk and successfully stimulated Sydney's mare to go into heat. Then, the person threw away the remaining two along with the glass bottle. Perhaps the person thought that the small glass bottle would not be found in the large equestrian park, so they simply threw it in the park.

"By the way, are there surveillance cameras in the warehouse?" Hunter looked at the captain.

The captain shook his head. "No."

Hunter found it unfortunate, but he did not give up. Instead, he smiled. "Can you give this to me?"

He pointed to the glass bottle in the captain's hand.

Although the captain was curious why Hunter wanted that, he still gave it to him.

Hunter thanked him, took the glass bottle, and went to his previous spot to sit down.

There were no surveillance cameras in the warehouse, so it would not be easy to find the thief. However, there were other methods, such as fingerprinting.

He hoped that the thief's fingerprints could still be found on the glass bottle.

As for who the thief was, Hunter already had a suspect in mind.

Among their group, he could not think of anyone other than Lyra. However, he still had to look at the evidence. He did not intend to make a statement until he investigated the fingerprints.

In the evening, the group of people was still divided into two factions when they ate dinner at the restaurant.

Lyra was also present. However, her face was still pale, likely because she had not recovered from the trauma during the day. Her weak and sickly appearance was pitiful, but there was no one present to pity her.

The attitude the others usually had toward Lyra was to ignore her if possible.

Now, they simply treated her like air, completely ignoring her. Even Julien's expression was cold. Unlike usual, he did not take care of her meals or pay attention to her emotional changes.

At that, Lyra could not help but feel aggravated. She held her fork tightly and looked at the man beside her. "Julien, are you in a bad mood?"
