My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 60 Demanding Compensation

Sydney smiled faintly. "Simple. Call the cops!"

Luke looked over in surprise. "Darling, didn’t you say ...?"

"Hm?" Sydney gave him a warning look.

He immediately made a zipping motion at his mouth and fell silent.

Sydney continued, "Ms. Madden said that she didn't do it on purpose, but we're convinced that she did. It’s difficult to discern the truth since we have differing opinions, so how about we leave the investigation to the police?"

Julien caught the brilliant glint in Sydney's eyes and knew in his heart that her motive was not that simple. She might be planning something. Just as he was about to remind Lyra, Lyra already said, "Sure."

She agreed with a smile on her face, but she laughed at Sydney for being a fool in her heart. Sydney wanted to call the cops?

There was no monitoring. What was the point of calling the cops?

Sydney pretended not to see the mockery in Lyra's eyes and applauded, smiling. "Great. You've made the right choice, Ms. Madden. Luke, since Ms. Madden agreed, hurry up and call the police. Remind the police to bring in a hypnotist along with them when they come."

"A hypnotist? What for?" Luke took out his phone, unable to react for a while.

Julien narrowed his eyes. His deep gaze locked on Sydney’s bright face.

Sure enough, he guessed that she would not just be calling the cops.

However, he did not expect this to be her true motive.

Lyra also reacted and gradually went pale.

Sydney looked at Lyra’s face and her smile deepened." To investigate the truth, of course. I heard that to deal with some of the more stubborn suspects, the police will hire a hypnotist to come over and hypnotize the suspects. That way, the suspects will unknowingly take the initiative to explain the crime."

"That’s right!” Luke slapped his thigh excitedly." That's a great idea.”

"Of course, that's not enough. Luke, remember to broadcast the process live for an audience to watch during the hypnosis. If it's proven in the end that Ms. Madden did it by accident, then we'll drop the matter and I'll admit that I was just unlucky. However, if it was intentional... Hm?"

Sydney pretended to be puzzled looking at Lyra." What's wrong, Ms. Madden? Why are you shaking so much? Your face is pale and you're sweating so much too. Are you sick?" "She’s not sick, she’s guilty. After all, she's going to have her face slapped later.” Luke mocked loudly.

Lyra bit her lips fiercely. Fear and panic raged in her heart. She really detested Sydney.

This woman was simply the devil. Not only did she come up with the idea of calling a hypnotist, but she also wanted to broadcast it live to an audience. That was the same as executing her!

''Julien...” Lyra’s eyes were teary as she looked at the man beside her for help.

The man rubbed his temples. His eyes held a bit of fatigue.

Perhaps he was wrong from the beginning. He should not have been soft-hearted and agreed to hide the truth when she begged in the morning.

Now that things had developed to such a state, it was almost impossible to settle it peacefully.

"Sydney, there’s no need for a hypnotist and the live broadcast. There’s no need to escalate things so much. That’ll only intensify the conflict between the Madden family and Skylight." Julien looked at Sydney.

Sydney suddenly realized something and clenched her fists. Her eyes looked at him, devoid of emotion." President Flint, if you're stopping me from calling a hypnotist and hosting the live broadcast, can I assume that you admit that Ms. Madden did it on purpose?"

Why else would he not let her call a hypnotist and broadcast it?

That was proof enough!

"That's not all, darling. I think President Flint already knew that Ms. Madden did it on purpose, but he helped her hide the truth instead." Luke crossed his arms and sneered.

"Is that true?" Sydney stared at the man.

The man was silent for a long time before saying," Yes."

"Wow! I'm speechless!" Sydney's hand squeezed tighter and tighter. Her nails dug so deeply into her palm that it hurt to even look at.

However, that pain was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.

This was the man she loved and had loved for so many years. For Lyra, he could throw away his morals. It let her sigh in amazement.

"I finally recognize what kind of person you are today, President Flint. The most ridiculous thing is that I wasted six years of my youth on someone like you!" Sydney's laugh was filled with ridicule.

Julien's expression was dark and sullen, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

He knew that he was wrong for shielding Lyra.

However, he could not watch Lyra go to jail.

"I'll take responsibility for what Lyra did to you as long as you don’t pursue this matter,” he spoke in a low voice.

Luke was outraged. He clenched his fist and punched Julien in the face.

Lyra screamed in terror. "Julien, watch out!"

"Stop, Luke!" Sydney called Luke in time.

Luke's fist stopped a few centimeters in front of Julien before reluctantly dropping.

Sydney sighed in relief and then stared at Julien with icy eyes. "How are you going to be responsible? I won’t agree if what you offer isn't satisfactory. Luke, record what President Flint says so he can't go back on his word later."

"Sure!" Luke grinned and opened the phone recording. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Lyra was very dissatisfied. "Ms. Raines, Julien isn't the kind of person who would go back on his word. You're looking down on us too much."

However, Sydney and Luke completely treated her like air and ignored her.

Lyra only felt insulted, and her face turned red with anger. "You..."

"Enough.” Julien raised his hand, signaling her to stop talking, and looked at Sydney. "I'll pay all of your medical fees until you fully recover. In addition to that, I'll also give you one of Flint

Corporation’s

commercial ports in the customs."

A commercial port?

Sydney's spirits were lifted and her eyes went round.

That was great. She had been considering finding connections to open a commercial port after You2’s goods were finished.

She did not think he would take the initiative to give her one.

"You're very generous, President Flint, but that's not enough!" Sydney smiled like a fox.

Lyra bit her lip and said indignantly, "Ms. Raines, how is that not enough? Aren't you being a little too greedy?"

"Hey hey hey, watch your mouth. What do you mean by greedy?” Luke pointed to the bandages on Sydney's head. "You deliberately harmed my darling. To put it bluntly, it’s intentional manslaughter. What's wrong with asking for more?"

At the words "intentional manslaughter", Lyra turned her head away with a guilty conscience and immediately stopped talking.

Julien frowned. "What else do you want?"

"I heard the Madden family wants to buy a piece of land in your hands to invest in the development of a new property. You also intend to sell the land to the Madden family at a low price."

Sydney brushed her hair. "I'm a fair person. Since the incident was caused by Ms. Madden, I can’t let President Flint bear everything alone. Ms. Madden should also take responsibility. Give me that

piece of land."

"No!” Lyra was anxious.

That piece of land was the dowry that Julien would be giving her family. How could it be given to Sydney?

"If Ms. Madden doesn't agree, then forget it. Luke, call the cops!" Sydney gave Luke a look.

Luke immediately unlocked his phone.

Lyra was in a dilemma. In the end, Julien opened his mouth and agreed, "Fine, that land is yours."

"Julien?" Lyra grabbed his sleeve.

Julien patted the back of her hand lightly. "It’s okay. There's still a piece of land in the north of the city.

Although it's a little small, it's enough for Brandon to use."

After that, Julien turned and gazed at Sydney with cold eyes. "I'll have the land deed sent over when we return to Port City. I hope that Ms. Raines will also abide by the rules and not pursue Lyra anymore."
