My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 148 Stuffed Into a Sack

"No need!" Julien replied indifferently. He put down the tongs, took the plate, and prepared to leave.

Luke called out to him when he saw this. "Wait, President Flint."

Julien stopped and looked at him expressionlessly. " What else do you want?"

"During the day, you said that you'd give us an explanation. Don't tell me you forgot about it? Now that Ms. Madden is awake, you should honor your words, right?"

Luke crossed his arms and said with a vague smile," We don't want much. Just get Ms. Madden to come over, grovel to my darling, and apologize. What do you think? It's not too much, right?"

If not for the lack of concrete evidence, he would not have let Lyra off so easily by simply apologizing.

Instead, he would call the police and send Lyra straight to jail.

Julien frowned. "Grovel and apologize?"

"Yep." Luke nodded.

Julien sneered and looked at Sydney. "Do you also want Lyra to grovel and apologize to you?"

Sydney put down the juice in her hand and smiled.

Ms. Madden harmed me first. I don't see anything wrong with this."

Even if Luke told Lyra to hand over an arm and a leg, Sydney would think that it was justified, let alone make her grovel and apologize. Lyra had harmed her so many times and was always after her life. She was considered benevolent for not asking for Lyra's life in return.

Besides Sydney, even Hunter, Sharon, and Jayden did not see a problem with it.

Julien's eyes darkened. "I can tell Lyra to grovel and apologize, but you should also apologize to Lyra, Sydney."

"What?" Luke was stunned.

Hunter and the others were also flabbergasted.

Sydney frowned. "I should apologize to Lyra? Why?"

"Yeah, why should my darling apologize to Lyra? She's the victim here. What kind of logic is this?" Luke glared at Julien angrily. "Julien Flint, you're too indiscriminate. I really wonder how someone like you manages a large company like Flint Corporation." 1

With a boss like that who did not know how to distinguish right from wrong, it was a miracle that Flint Corporation had not gone bankrupt.

Julien ignored Luke, who had jumped to his feet, and focused on Sydney, saying coldly, "You know about Lyra's illness, but you deliberately said things to provoke her and trigger her condition. That was the cause of her planning to harm you with the snake. Shouldn't you apologize for that?"

"I provoked her?" Sydney pointed to herself and laughed in anger.

When did she say anything to provoke Lyra?

She did not say a single word to Lyra at the creek.

Julien added, "That's why I hope that when Lyra apologizes to you, you will also apologize to Lyra."

Then, he left the dining hall.

Sydney looked at his departing silhouette with a face full of contempt.

"Darling." Luke patted her on the shoulder. "Did you really say something to Lyra to provoke her?"

"Do you think I will? I don't even want to pay attention to her. Why would I talk to her?" Sydney rolled her eyes angrily.

Hunter's lips curled up into a sarcastic smirk. "It seems like this is a case of the villain accusing her victim first. She deliberately told Julien that you provoked her, which was why she tried to harm you."

"What's even funnier is that Julien actually believes it. Is he brainless?" Luke was about to cry with laughter.

Sydney's eyes turned cold. "Why wouldn't he believe her? Lyra is his beloved. Who will he believe if not her?"

"That woman is too shameless." Luke slammed the table with his hands.

Sharon nodded.

Lyra Madden was the most bizarre woman she had ever seen.

The women of the Bennet family in the capital were nowhere near as odd.

Jayden lowered his head in embarrassment and anger, and he did not say a word.

At first, he really thought that Lyra was good. He thought that Lyra was even better than Sydney.

For that reason, he bullied Sydney for six whole years because he felt that Sydney stole Lyra's position.

Thinking back on it now, it was really a complicated affair.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?" That was when Luke saw Hunter go to Lyra's seat and pick up the cup she used before dropping it into a bag.

The others were also curious about his actions.

"Hey, Hunter. Don't tell me you have a crush on Lyra, so you're secretly taking her cup back to fawn upon?" Luke looked at Hunter with a disgusted expression.

The corners of Hunter's mouth twitched. "What are you talking about? Who has a crush on Lyra?"

"But you're-"

"I have my reasons for taking her cup." Hunter then winked at Sydney.

Sydney raised her brows, realizing that his reason might have something to do with her.

However, since he did not want to explain, she would not ask.

Perhaps she would find out later.

Not long after, Hunter's assistant came over.

Hunter handed over two waterproof bags to his assistant. Inside the bags were the glass bottle containing musk and Lyra's cup.

"Take these and identify the fingerprints on these two. See if there's any overlap," said Hunter.

If the fingerprints on the glass bottle were the same as the fingerprints on Lyra's cup, it was enough to prove that Lyra stole the musk and used it to make Sydney fall off her horse.

Otherwise, he would just consider it an accident.

"Understood." The assistant nodded and left.

With that, Hunter went back to the villa.

In the middle of the night, Sydney was lying in bed when the phone beside her suddenly lit up. It was a message from Luke. [Darling, the plan has begun.]

Sydney's eyes darkened. She rolled over, sat up, and replied: [Got it.]

Then, she put on her jacket and sneaked out of her room.

Hunter, Sharon, and Luke also left their rooms at the same time.

The three of them exchanged glances.

Luke said in a low voice, "Jayden is already downstairs."

"All right. Let's go too. I've prepared everything.” Hunter took out something brown from behind him with a wicked smile on his face.

Luke and Sharon had similar smiles on their faces.

When Sydney saw how excited they were, she could not help but chuckle. "Okay, let's go."

They tiptoed down the stairs.

On the second floor, Jayden dragged Lyra to the stairway.

Lyra refused to go and shook off Jayden's hand." Jayden, what do you want to say to me? You can tell me here."

She did not want to follow Jayden downstairs.

Jayden hated her so much. For him to suddenly come to her and drag her out of her room by saying he had something to say to her, there must be some kind of plan going on.

Jayden felt a little diffident when he saw the vigilance and suspicion in Lyra's eyes. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

However, when he remembered the task that Sydney gave him, he steeled his nerves and said, "Lyra, I-"

Before he could finish his sentence, a large hand holding a towel suddenly reached from behind Lyra.

Jayden immediately sighed in relief and smiled at Lyra. "Lyra, what I wanted to say is, take care."

Then, he stepped back.

Lyra had a bad feeling the moment she heard movement from behind her. Just as she was about to turn her head to see, a large hand holding a towel covered her mouth and nose.

She smelled the scent of a chemical, and then everything went dark.

"Hurry! She has passed out. Load her up, load her up." Luke quickly urged.

Hunter unfolded the sack and covered Lyra with it head first. Then, with Sharon's help, they stuffed Lyra into the sack and tied it up.

Sydney stood nearby with a large bottle of water, smiling at the scene.

"Kid, go downstairs and open the door." Luke twisted his head and said to Jayden on the stairs while Hunter picked Lyra up.
