Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 56 Slip and Fall

After changing into Japanese bathrobes, the two of them came to the entrance of the split men's and women’s bath.

Luke glanced around and wrapped an arm around Sydney's slender waist. "Babe, how about we go soak in the mixed bath?”

Sydney smiled at him and then elbowed him.

"Ow!" Luke covered his stomach in pain. "Why'd you hit me, darling?"

Sydney gave him a side-glance. "Should I not have hit you? How could you even think of a mixed bath?"

"What's wrong with a mixed bath? We’re boyfriend and girlfriend.” Luke immediately stood up and argued.

"Fake boyfriend and girlfriend." Sydney could not be bothered with him. She put the bath towel on her shoulders, lifted the curtain with the words "women's bath", and walked in.

The women’s bath was empty and very quiet.

Sydney took off her bathrobe and wrapped herself in a white bath towel that reached her thigh. Then, she went into the personal bath.

The water temperature was very high and her body turned pink from the heat. She let out a sigh of

comfort.

Just then, the sliding door of the entrance opened and someone came in.

Sydney looked up and saw the person’s face through the white mist.

Lyra Madden.

Sydney frowned. Everything about this resort was good except for the fact that it was too small. She kept meeting people she did not want to meet at every turn.

Lyra also did not expect to see Sydney here. After a pause, she smiled softly. "Ms. Raines, we meet again.”

Sydney did not want to pay attention to her and nodded. Then, she got up to leave.

Just as she stepped out of the pool, Lyra’s voice sounded again. "Ms. Raines, why are you leaving the moment I came in? Do you dislike me that much? We used to be college classmates and even roommates in the past."

Sydney stood in the pool with a bath towel covering her chest, and said faintly mockingly, “That's funny, Ms. Madden. It was you who disliked me from the beginning. It was the same during college, and it's still the same now."

Lyra sat on the edge of another personal pool and smiled at Sydney. "Do you want to know the reason, Ms. Raines?" "Sure. I want to know what I did to you for you to treat me like this!" Sydney sat back down.

The two of them were separated by another personal pool, so they simply stared at each other from a distance.

"You know, from the moment you joined the college dorm, I had an inexplicable sense of crisis about you. I always felt that you’d steal something very important from me."

Lyra's nails dung into her palm. "Sure enough, you took advantage of my car accident and snatched Julien away when I was in a coma. How am I supposed to let you off?”

Sydney's expression remained unfazed despite hearing the hatred in Lyra's tone, and she said calmly, "Believe it or not, I didn't mean to take Julien away while you were in a coma. You said it yourself. Julien and you were like brother and sister."

It was because of that that she asked Julien for marriage.

Otherwise, with her pride, she would not have done that no matter how much she liked Julien.

"You don't have to explain that to me. You can't deny the fact that you’ve had him for six years.” Lyra bit her lip and looked at Sydney.

Sydney’s lips moved and she was just about to say something, but her phone on the side of the pool rang. The caller ID showed Luke's name.

"Hello?” "Darling, are you done soaking?"

"More or less." Sydney nodded.

Luke urged her. "Then come on out. I heard there'll be a fireworks feast later. I'll wait for you at the viewing platform."

Sydney fished the towel aside with one hand and wiped the sweat on her face. "Alright. I’ll come out after a shower."

After hanging up the phone, she got out of the pool and paused for a moment when she passed Lyra's pool. "Ms. Madden, after that conversation, I know that you'll continue trying to cause trouble for me, but it doesn't matter. I'll take on whatever you throw at me."

Then, she lifted her long legs and left.

Lyra lowered her head. No one knew what she was thinking about.

After a few moments, her head gradually grew dizzy from the heat. She knew that she could not soak any longer and also got up to head to the shower room.

Sydney was showering in one of the cubicles when Lyra came in holding toiletries and heard the sound of humming. Sydney's voice was beautiful and melodic, just like the sounds of nature.

Lyra could not help but remember that a few days ago, Julien said she mentioned in a letter that she could sing well, and he questioned why she did not sing now. Lyra did not dare to tell him that she could not sing at all, and could only tell him that her throat was not feeling well to brush the topic away.

However, she knew that as long as the owner of the letter still existed, all the lies she told would be exposed one day. The only way was if the real owner of the letters disappeared!

Lyra's eyes flashed. She looked at Sydney's compartment door, then at the shower gel in her basin, and a terrible and bold idea suddenly came to her mind.

She crouched down, gently put the basin on the ground, and picked up the shower gel inside the basin. Then, she opened the cap and poured the transparent gel onto the ground in front of Sydney’s compartment.

After that, she curled her lips slightly, got up, and quietly left.

"That felt great!" Sydney finished her hot shower and came out of the compartment, holding the basin. Suddenly, she stepped on something and her foot slipped. Her body fell to the ground and her head happened to knock on the steps of the compartment, causing her to faint on the spot. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

On the observation deck, Luke was waiting for her to come over. He had waited a long time until the fireworks feast started, but she was still nowhere to be seen. Thus, he took out his phone and made a call.

The line connected but no one picked up. He could not help but feel worried.

"Did something happen to my darling?” Luke slipped his phone back into his pocket, quickly left the observation deck, and searched for the woman.

However, despite looking in several places, there was no sign of Sydney. He was even more convinced that something might have happened to her.

In this resort, there were only two people who would hurt Sydney.

Luke ran up to a door and knocked on it heavily. "Lyra Madden, get out here!”

The door soon opened, and Julien appeared in front of him with a sullen face.

"Do you need something?"

"Yeah, but not from you. I'm looking for her!” Luke looked at Lyra beside him.

Lyra smiled. "Mr. Chase, what can I do for you?”

"My darling is missing!"

Julien’s eyes suddenly widened.

Sydney was missing?

Lyra saw his reaction.

She clenched her fists tightly.

Sure enough, getting rid of Sydney was the right idea.

If Sydney was alive, she would only leave a greater impact on Julien. Even news of her disappearance could make him react so much.

Lyra put away the thoughts in her heart and blinked in confusion. "Mr. Chase, why did you come to me if Ms. Raines is missing?”

"Why did I come to you?" Luke laughed in anger. "Are you serious? You must've hidden my darling. You pushed my daring off the track during the day. What can’t you do? I suggest that you hand her over now, or even Julien wouldn't be able to protect you!"

"How could I have hidden Ms. Raines? I haven’t seen her since dinner. I don't know where she is at all. How am I supposed to hand her over?” Lyra's eyes reddened in grievance.

Luke did not buy her act at all. "Spill the f*cking beans!"

"Enough." Julien took a step forward and shielded Lyra behind him. "If Sydney is missing, then check the monitoring. Will you be able to find her if you harass Lyra?"

Upon hearing the word "monitoring", Lyra’s heart panicked for a moment, but she soon thought of something and calmed down.

Luke also suddenly came to his senses. He was so anxious to find Sydney that he had forgotten to go check the surveillance. He smacked his forehead. "I'm going to the control room right now. You better pray that my darling’s disappearance has nothing to do with you, or I'll never let you off."

He pointed to Lyra's nose and turned away.

"We'll go too." Julien took off his coat and put it on Lyra. Then, he half-hugged her and went to the control room.
