Chapter 79 A Familiar Necklace
How would she know what to do? If she knew, she would not be so nervous in her heart now.
How did Sydney know that something would happen to the Graham family?
Lyra bit her lip. Her eyes were dark and uncertain as she looked in the direction that Sydney left.
Sydney was helped to the surgical department by Hunter.
The doctor was quite surprised to see her. "Didn't you just change your medicine last night? Why are you here again today?"
Sydney did not expect the doctor to recognize her and coughed a little awkwardly. "Um, I'm here for my foot this time."
"Your foot?" The doctor bent down and looked around the corner of the table at her feet.
Seeing her swollen ankle, he shook his head sympathetically. "Miss, you're hazard-prone. The injury on your head hasn't healed yet, and you twisted your foot like this. I advise you to pray at a church later."
"Pfft!" Hunter did not hold back and burst out in laughter.
Sydney was already blushing from the doctor's words and became even more furious when she heard Hunter's laughter. She bent her arm and elbowed him. "Shut up!"
"Ow!” Hunter covered his waist in pain as his face twisted. "Woman, aren't you too harsh?"
"It’s your fault for laughing at me." Sydney gave him a chilly look.
Hunter pouted. "Fine, fine, I'll stop laughing, okay?"
Sydney scoffed and let him go.
While the doctor treated Sydney, Hunter did not forget to inquire about the Graham family.
He learned that the current head of the family had been taken away by the Internal Control Institute, and the other members of the family were also under investigation. He turned his head slightly and looked at Sydney in amazement.
Even he did not know that this would happen to the Graham family, but this woman knew in advance.
That was too strange.
Sydney heard the contents of Hunter’s phone call and naturally knew why he was looking at her like that. She curled her lips into a smile. "You want to know how I knew that something would happen to the Graham family, right?" Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Yeah." Hunter nodded repeatedly. "Tell me."
"Nope!" Sydney grinned in response.
Hunter choked for a moment. Then, he brazenly moved over and said with a smile, "Don't be like that. I helped you when you confronted Lyra and the others, right?"
"That's true."
"So, tell me. What's going on?”
Sydney saw that he wanted to know and stopped teasing him. She said briefly, "Lyra got kidnapped by someone, right? It seems like her kidnapper is one of my suitors, so Lyra thinks that I told the suitor to kidnap her as revenge."
"Revenge for this, I mean." Sydney pointed to the bandage on her head. "As for Macy, to help Lyra even the score, she used her identity as the daughter of the Graham family to get several major banks in Port City to reject my loan application."
"Wait a minute. You mean Macy used her own identity ..." Hunter's eyes widened in shock.
Sydney nodded. "Yep."
It took a long while before Hunter calmed down, and he laughed mockingly. "I see. It's a taboo in bureaucracy to intervene in other city's affairs. Not even her father dared to do something like that, but she went ahead with it. Her father is going to cry at what she did."
Sydney laughed at his funny description.
Hunter looked at her. "So, it was you who reported
her?”
Sydney shook her head. "No. It was one of my employees with a great background."
"An employee with a great background?" A strange light flashed in Hunter’s eyes. "Then I guess you’re lucky."
Sydney smiled casually. "Yes, my luck is very good."
Since taking over Skylight, although she had encountered many problems, she was saved every time because of the people around her.
Luke, Sharon, Hunter, and... Z-H. These people were all her benefactors. How lucky she was to meet them.
“Now that the Graham family is in trouble, Macy will hold a grudge against Lyra. Lyra will have a hard time in the future. Macy is a madwoman," Hunter said with a grin. The gloating on his face was undisguised.
The corners of Sydney's lips tugged and she did not answer.
Lyra would have a hard time?
She disagreed. With Julien’s protection, how would Lyra have a hard time?
Just then, the doctor finished bandaging Sydney and gave her two crutches.
Sydney refused Hunter's help and walked out of the hospital slowly with the crutches.
When she reached the parking lot, she saw another acquaintance. Mrs. Madden was talking to her driver.
As if noticing that someone was looking at her, Mrs. Madden stopped talking and turned around with a thermos bucket. When she saw that it was Sydney, her originally elegant and smiling face suddenly turned cold, and her eyes filled with disgust.
Sydney saw eyes like that many times before and was naturally not angry. She calmly and aloofly walked toward her car on her crutches.
However, when she brushed past Mrs. Madden, she caught a glimpse of the necklace Mrs. Madden was wearing around her neck.
The necklace was old in color and vintage in style. It was probably an old necklace from many years ago.
It was surprising that an elegant noblewoman like Mrs. Madden was wearing such an outdated necklace.
However, what surprised Sydney the most was the familiarity of the necklace. It was as if she had seen it somewhere before, but she could not remember.
Sydney did not think much of it and pulled open the car door and got in.
It was Hunter who strayed behind and greeted Mrs. Madden.
Mrs. Madden smiled at him and asked, "Are you close with her, Mr. Cohen?”
Hunter knew who she was referring to and glanced toward Sydney's car. "I guess. You seem to have
something to tell me, Mrs. Madden."
"With all due respect, you should stay away from that one, Mr. Cohen. A malicious person will only bring misfortune to those around her," Mrs. Madden said in disgust.
Hunter’s lips curled up. "A malicious person? I don't see it. Why do you think she’s a malicious person?"
"You saw what happened to Lyra. Do I still have to explain?" Mrs. Madden frowned.
Hunter shrugged. "But as far as I know, Sydney wasn't behind this matter. Even if it was, it was Lyra who harmed her first, and Sydney was just fighting back. If anyone is malicious here, it'd be Lyra."
"You..." Mrs. Madden's expression sank in anger and she coldly snorted. "I'm just advising you because you’re Julien's friend, but if you don’t want to listen, then forget it. I just hope that you won’t regret it in the future."
Hunter grinned and replied, "It doesn't matter if I regret it or not. What's important is that I know that Julien will regret it."
He suddenly bent down and leaned into Mrs. Madden's ear, lowering his voice. "Julien is blind and can't see your daughter’s true face, but I can see it clearly. However, Julien won’t be blind for life. He'll find out your daughter’s true side one day. What will your daughter do when that time comes?" "..." Mrs. Madden looked at him with terrified eyes.
In her eyes, the smile on his face was like the devil's.
Mrs. Madden's lips moved as if to say something, but in the end, she said nothing. She grasped the thermos bucket handle in her hand and walked away with a slightly pale face.
Looking at Mrs. Madden’s defeated and fleeing figure, Hunter stroked his chin and his smile grew thicker. However, the bottom of his eyes was cold.
Mrs. Madden was Julien's future mother-in-law. As Julien's friend, he should be more polite to her.
However, the Madden family was unethical. As an enterprise in Port City, they went behind the Cohen family's back and gave the green light to the Graham family in Port City. They were simply disrespecting the Cohen family, so he was not at fault for not being courteous to the Madden family either.
"What did you say to her to scare her like that?" Sydney asked curiously when Hunter returned to the car.
