Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 160 Do You Regret It?

So, that was what happened.

Julien pursed his thin lips.

He knew that Harry Raines kidnapped Clarice, but he did not think that it was Brandon who forced him to do so.

It seemed like some things could not be investigated only in part but in their entirety. Otherwise, they were likely to be blinded by false appearances and lose sight of the truth.

When Julien thought of Brandon's hatred when he mentioned Harry, he found it absurd now.

What was even more ridiculous was that he believed Brandon's rhetoric that it was Harry who let down the Madden family.

At that thought, Julien looked at Sydney with guilt and shame in his eyes.

He was ashamed that he only listened to one side of the story and thought that her father was not a good man.

Sydney did not have time to pay attention to Julien. She bowed her head and clutched the necklace." That's why this necklace appeared in the Raines residence."

It must have been taken from Clarice's neck when her father kidnapped Clarice.

"Yes." The Old Madam nodded.

Sydney then asked, "How did Clarice die?"

She had a bold guess.

It was a guess that she was very reluctant to think about.

Under Sydney's gaze, the Old Madam slowly said," Your father threw her into the river and drowned her... in front of Brandon and his wife." Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Boom!

Her guess came true.

Sydney's vision went dark as she felt the world spin.

She swayed and was about to fall.

Julien grabbed her shoulders and let her lean in his arms. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Sydney bit her lip and answered weakly.

The Old Madam looked at her with great concern. "Sit down quickly."

Julien helped Sydney to the chair.

Sydney trembled. "Dad... How could he have done something so stupid?"

He drowned a child.

It was no wonder that six years ago, Brandon forced her father to die. It turned out that he was taking

revenge.

"Yes, your father was stupid, but it's understandable. After all, it’s easy to do stupid and impulsive things when he’s driven to that point." The Old Madam touched Sydney's head in distress.

Sydney closed her eyes. "He was too impulsive."

"Don't you find something very wrong about that?" Julien suddenly spoke out at that moment.

Sydney looked up at him. "What?"

"Since your father drowned Clarice in front of Brandon and his wife, why didn't your father go to prison?"

Julien continued, "With Brandon's vengeful character, he'd never have let your father and Skylight off, but he did. Not only did he not pursue your father's legal responsibility, he even let your father go back to continue to develop Skylight and only dealt with your father and Skylight six years ago."

Sydney was struck by a realization. "That's right. Why did he do that? Grandma, do you know?"

She looked at the Old Madam.

The Old Madam shook her head. "I'm not too sure about that. Maybe there was some kind of deal between your father and Brandon at that time. There's no other explanation."

Sydney bit her lower lip. "Maybe but no matter what, the Raines and Madden families’ had irreconcilable

grudge."

Brandon was the one who caused this hatred.

Although her dad killed Brandon's daughter, Brandon also forced her dad to die.

The hatred between human lives was offset, but there was still the hatred between Brandon and Skylight. She would avenge this grudge!

When Julien saw the hatred in Sydney's eyes, he wanted to erase it for her.

Her eyes were beautiful and should not be tainted with these things.

However, he knew that he was not qualified, nor did he have the right to erase it.

Just as he was thinking, he heard Sydney's cold voice. "President Flint, I want to destroy Trison and the Madden family."

Julien was not that surprised to hear those words. The hatred in her eyes had told him in advance what she was thinking.

"So?" Julien looked at her.

"So, will you intervene?" Sydney looked at him expressionlessly.

Julien's brows knitted slightly.

What was that look supposed to mean? Was she planning to deal with him as well if he intervened?

"President Flint, I want to know your answer! Will you intervene and help the Madden family?" Sydney asked again when Julien did not say anything.

The Old Madam hurriedly said, "Of course, he won't. If he dares to help the Madden family, I'll be the first to stop him!"

"Grandma, I want to hear the answer from his mouth," Sydney said.

If not for Grandma, she would not care if Julien helped the Madden family. It was naturally good if he did not help them, but if he did, she would just deal with him as well. If she could not, then she would simply go to extremes.

She only asked this because she cared about Grandma, and Julien was her grandson. She had to make Grandma mentally prepared in advance, lest Grandma be sad if Julien helped the Madden family and she dealt with Julien as well.

"I won't," Julien lowered his eyes and answered.

This was Brandon's fault in the first place. It was only right for the Madden family to pay the price.

As for Lyra, he could still take care of her well even without the Madden family.

"Good. Remember your words. If you suddenly go back on your word like last time, I'll make you suffer for the rest of your life even at the cost of my own," Sydney said firmly.

Julien's pupils shrank and his fists clenched. "I won't." She was serious. If he went back on his words, she would really do something that would make him suffer for the rest of his life.

For example, killing Lyra, or killing herself...

"What words did you go back on?" The Old Madam looked at Julien and interrupted his thoughts.

"Nothing." Julien's eyes flickered slightly, not wanting to answer. He also looked at Sydney, hoping that she would cooperate.

After all, Grandma would be stimulated if she knew that Lyra pushed Sydney down the stairs.

Sydney knew this very well, so she was happy to play along. "Alright, Grandma, don't ask about that. It's in the past, so I don't want to talk about it either. I'm just thinking about the secret behind this necklace. I don't know why Dad wanted me to find this necklace."

It was not necessary if it was just for revenge. Even without the necklace, she knew that her dad was forced to die because of Brandon, and she would take revenge regardless.

Thus, this matter must not be that simple. There must be another role for this necklace.

"I don't know either. Your father just said that it was about a huge secret. That secret should be the

incident from twenty years ago that I just told you. As for whether there are any other details, I'm not sure." The Old Madam shook her head.

Sydney sighed.

The Old Madam smiled. "Don't worry. Just keep it for now. Maybe one day, you'll find out the truth."

"You're right." Sydney smiled. "It's getting late, so I'll go now. It's almost dark."

"Alright, I'll have Julien send you off," the Old Madam said while looking at Julien, "Send Syd back."

"Okay." Julien took out his car keys and agreed.

However, Sydney refused softly. "No need, Grandma. I'll just hail a cab. There's no need to bother President Flint. Bye now."

After speaking, she smiled, picked up her bag, and went out. She did not even glance at Julien the entire time.

Julien pursed his lips and lifted his legs, subconsciously wanting to chase after her.

The Old Madam called out to him sternly, "Stop!"

Julien stopped in his tracks. "Grandma?"

"Syd already said she doesn't want you to send her back. What are you doing?" The Old Madam stared at him.

'Geez. In the past, you didn't want to send her back when you could.

'Now that she doesn't want you to send her back, you want to instead. That'll still depend on whether Syd is

willing to let you or not.'

Julien's lips moved, wanting to say something, but he suddenly could not speak.

The Old Madam sighed. "Do you regret it?"

"What?" Julien's eyes flickered.

The Old Madam snorted coldly. "Cut the act. I'm asking you if you regret divorcing Syd."

Julien's heart felt like it had been seized by someone. It stung slightly.

He lowered his eyes slightly, covering the emotions in them. "No."
