My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 47 Inhumane!

The two of them looked at each other for a moment, and Hunter waved at her. "Hey there, Ms. Raines.”

"You told Sharon that your family is poor and you had to work three jobs a day?" Sydney laughed and looked at him in disdain. "It's a shame you're not in showbiz. You'd win a Best Actor award.”

Hunter shrugged. "She mistook me for a car mechanic when I went to a car repair shop before. I didn't know she was from your company. I just joked with her, but she unexpectedly believed me and called me to drive for you.”

Sydney rolled her eyes. "Did you eye Sharon because she looks simple and gullible?"

"Don't slander me. She's the one who talks to me first every time," Hunter said with an Tm-just-too- popular-with-the-ladies’ expression on his face. "She probably wants to get off with me.

Sydney thought about it. It seemed like it was Sharon who wanted to approach Hunter.

"Where to, Ms. Raines?” Hunter turned back to put on his seatbelt. "It's my first time driving someone, and I'm driving in a shabby car like this. You're so lucky."

After the car started, he cursed Julien a few more times. "The handling is horrible. This car is trash. How can Julien do this? He drives a Maybach but doesn’t even give you a luxury car after the divorce."

"Why didn't you call me back regarding what I asked you before?" Sydney calmly changed the topic.

She was afraid that she would not be able to resist kicking Hunter out of the car if he continued babbling.

Hunter did not reply immediately. His gaze turned odd and he glanced at Sydney from the rearview mirror.

After talking to Sydney that day, he asked Julien if he had arranged for a waiter to set up the scene, but Julien had just called him a lunatic. Then, he realized that Sydney's guess might be true and had someone go to the dorms to call the waiter over for questioning.

However, the person came back and told him that the waiter went out that night and never came back to the club.

Hunter sent people to look for him but was unable to find him even now.

"There's nothing wrong with the waiter and nothing wrong with the water. Why should I call you back?" Hunter said lazily. "I watched the surveillance that night. You were still staggering when you came out of the washroom. You just got black-out drunk. You’re overthinking."

Hunter laughed and teased, "You were quite bold that night, Ms. Raines. Was that Julien's first time seeing you like that too?”

Sydney felt embarrassed listening to him and was uncomfortable all over.

She was worried that Hunter would try to meddle. In the end, this guy used his status as the boss to watch the surveillance!

"If there's nothing wrong with the water, then forget it. Go to Port City Middle School. I’m tired so I'll rest a while. Call me when we arrive." Sydney finished speaking and pretended to sleep, ignoring him.

At the same time, in Madden Corporation.

Brandon Madden had just received the news that Sydney's company Skylight was going to buy SweetHeart, and she was looking for traces of SweetHeart's boss.

He never expected Sydney to become so capable in such a short period.

"So what if she's capable? Skylight will fall!” Brandon sneered and sent a message to the people outside.

This time, he would make Skylight fall so hard that it would never get back up!

He could not wait to get rid of Skylight and use that victory to pay tribute to his deceased eldest daughter.

Brandon had just given the order when the computer on his desk suddenly flashed wildly. Just as he was about to turn it off, the computer went back to normal and launched a video window.

The lighting in the video was very good, and Brandon saw a dying man lying on the ground. The man wore the uniform of Club Lunaris and was lying in a pool of his own blood.

Brandon’s eyes suddenly widened. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

He had been trying and failing to contact that person. Why was that man in the video?

The waiter lying on the ground moaned. His breath was weak and he was obviously in pain. Soon, a tall man in a fox mask entered the frame.

The man stepped in front of the camera and stared at Brandon with cold eyes. "President Madden."

"Who are you? How did you get into my computer?" Brandon frowned. He tried to turn off the computer, but it did not shut down even when he pressed the power button.

The fox man laughed, his voice low and sexy. "It’s not just your computer. I can easily get into your phone and your wife's phone too. I’m here today to give you a warning.”

Without caring about the dirt, he used his slender fingers to grab the waiter on the ground. Brandon's scalp went numb when he saw the knife slash across the waiter's neck.

"President Madden, playing a little trick just once is enough, or I’ll get annoyed." The fox man flung the corpse in his hand away and came up to the camera again. His voice was eerie as if he had just climbed up from hell. "If you dare to touch Skylight or Sydney Raines again, you’ll end up the same way as him."

"You...” Brandon’s throat bobbed, but he could not say anything for a long time.

These years, he had people constantly keeping an eye on Sydney. He knew that after Sydney married Julien, she became a full-time housewife in the Flint residence and rarely went out to expand her network. She did not have many friends either.

Luke Chase did not have the ability to dare and go against Brandon. Who was that man in the video? Why was he so protective of Sydney?

Seeing Brandon's ugly expression, the fox man on the other side of the video seemed satisfied. "This 45 million will be your compensation gift to Sydney Raines. As for the other gift, I’ll have someone send it to Madden Corporation sometime later.

"Goodbye, President Madden." The man was in a good mood and waved his blood-stained hand at Brandon through the video. He looked like the devil himself.

In the next second, the video suddenly disappeared and revealed the desktop.

Brandon stared at the unchanging computer screen. The video was only a few minutes and it almost felt like he had imagined it all, but his body felt cold.

What did that man mean by a 45 million compensation?

Brandon snickered in his heart. Just as he thought that there was no possible way he would give money to Sydney, his phone suddenly rang. It was from the finance department of the South Lake branch.

"P-President Madden, bad news," the treasurer stuttered, "Director Sanders donated all the money in the books and ran..."

"What?!" Brandon sat up from his chair in shock. "How much was it?"

Tit was 45 million..."

"Why didn't you tell me something this important earlier? Are you all useless?!" Brandon cursed angrily. He was so angry that he was shaking, and he almost fainted on the spot.

So, this was what that man meant by 45 million!

The man’s tactics made Brandon afraid. He could not catch the enemy since the man was in the dark.

Brandon took a deep breath and immediately called his men, gnashing out orders between his teeth. "Stop everything. Remove the news too. Don't touch Skylight!"

"President Madden, didn't you say to inform you after we finished everything? Why...?"

"If I tell you to stop, then stop! Withdraw immediately!” Brandon roared. "If anything happens to Skylight, I'll make you pay for it!"

"Y-Yes.”

Brandon's heart throbbed with pain. Just as he sighed in relief, there was a call from the Boughtown branch.

"P-President Madden, Accountant Lane ran away with the money. He took 30 million..." The person on the phone trembled. "He flew to Halbury last night...”

"..." Brandon felt his vision go dark. He was so angry he almost vomited blood.

That man said that the 45 million was a compensation gift. Why was there an additional 30 million? He was inhumane! 1

No matter how physically fit Brandon was, he could not handle losing tens of millions of dollars at once. His blood pressure spiked, and before he could say a word, he fell on the table with a thud.

"President Madden?" the person on the other end of the phone spoke, "President Madden, are you listening?"
