Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 227 Old Madam Flint's Suspicion

Lyra’s heart dropped. She did not know why Old Madam Flint would ask her that. She forced a smile and answered, "Yes..."

Old Madam Flint gave her a meaningful smile. "This is weird. Julien told me that you both used to be pen pals, and know everything about each other. Yet you're telling me now that you don’t know what flowers he likes. Are you really his pen pal?"

Lyra's heart tightened and she quickly lowered her gaze to cover the guilt and anxiety. She forced herself to calm down and said, "Of course, I am. I was unconscious for six years and I forgot a lot of things. Julien knows about this as well."

She kicked the ball to Julien, indicating that Julien did not mind even if she forgot these things.

This way, even if Old Madam Flint was suspicious of her, she would not be insistent on this matter.

"Really?" Old Madam Flint raised her eyebrow, and it was uncertain if she believed Lyra's words.

Just then, someone pushed open the door violently.

Velma stormed into the room while cursing.

Old Madam Flint's expression darkened. She scolded," Why are you so loud when you're in the hospital?"

Velma finally noticed Old Madam Flint and quickly adjusted her expression. She forced a smile and said," Mother, I'm sorry.”

Old Madam Flint sneered. "You married into our family for more than ten years, and you’re still as uncivilized as ever."

Even though Velma was unconvinced, she dared not argue.

Lyra smiled at her and said, "Aunt."

Velma suddenly smiled. "Lyra, you're here!"

"Of course. Since something happened to Julien, I have to be here as his fiancee. My parents wanted to come as well, but they are too busy," Lyra touched her hair and said gently.

Velma walked over to Lyra and sat down. She placed her hand around Lyra's and patted it gently, finding Lyra incredibly pleasant to the eye. "You’re such a kind child. Julien is really lucky to have you."

"Aunt..." Lyra's face turned slightly red and lowered her head in embarrassment.

Old Madam Flint gave them a cold sneer. "Lucky? I don't think so. Just don't ruin our family.”

Lyra’s expression froze. Her embarrassment was completely replaced by hatred.

All the old lady could do was pick on her. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Velma was also unhappy. "Mother, Julien chose Lyra to be his fiancee. What you said isn't very nice."

"Nice? I'm just speaking the truth. What happened at the Leighs’ banquet yesterday was already made public. Everyone knows that your future daughter-in-law isn't a simple character. Just wait until she gets married to Julien, and you'll see how she bullies you," Old Madam Flint said with a mocking tone.

"Mother, you're too much. Lyra will never treat me that way. Isn't that right, Lyra?" Velma looked at Lyra with a dubious gaze.

Lyra quickly nodded. “Don’t worry, Aunt. I'll treat you well since you’re Julien's mother."

"Mother, listen to that." When Velma heard that, she pushed all the doubts to the back of her head and smiled at Old Madam Flint delightfully.

Old Madam Flint silently scolded Velma in her heart. What a fool. Old Madam Flint gave up as she really could not be bothered anymore.

"Aunt, what happened to your clothes? Why are they crumpled and wet?" Lyra touched Velma's sleeves and asked.

Velma's expression changed instantly. She raised her voice and said, "It was all because of that whore Sydney! She threw water at my face if it wasn't for..."

"You went and looked for Syd?" Old Madam Flint slammed her hand against the table and interrupted Velma.

Velma quickly looked away. "I..."

"Why are you hesitating? Tell me now. Did you look for Sydney?" Old Madam FLint had a gloomy expression on her face.

Velma decided to be honest. "So what if I went to look for her? Julien's accident happened because of her."

Lyra tightened her fists.

What?

Sydney caused Julien's accident?

"Who told you that Julien's accident was Sydney's fault?" Old Madam shouted at Velma in exasperation.

Velma sneered. "Julien got into an accident in Shallow Bay, which is where Sydney stays. Sydney must not have given up on Julien and tried to get back together with him. That’s why she called him over at night and caused him to run into an accident. If it wasn't her, then who could it be?"

Lyra lowered her head, and her face was hidden. No one could see the twisted expression on her face.

When she woke up in the morning, she heard from her father that Julien got into a car accident around 11 pm last night. She rushed over and did not bother to find out where the accident occurred.

She did not expect it to be at Shallow Bay.

No wonder he refused to go over to the Maddens yesterday to comfort her. It was all because of Sydney.

Lyra was trembling in anger.

When Velma noticed it, she asked, "Lyra, what happened?"

Lyra raised her head, and her eyes were brimming in tears. With a teary voice, she said, "I'm fine, I just..."

"She must be upset that Julien showed up at Sydney's place," Old Madam Flint said.

Lyra was stunned by Old Madam Flint's words and said nothing.

Velma slapped her thigh in disdain. "What a whore!”

"I think Sydney is already nice enough that she only threw you a bucket of water.” Old Madam Flint threw her a cold glance.

Velma was rather upset. "Mother, why are you always standing at the side of the outsider?"

"Who said that Syd is an outsider? Even though she’s no longer my granddaughter-in-law, she's still my granddaughter. She's closer to me than both of you ever are," Old Madam Flint said in disdain.

Lyra stood up and said willfully, "Aunt, I'll leave first. I don't think Old Madam Flint wants me here."

Old Madam Flint chuckled dryly and ignored her.

Velma stood up as well. "Lyra, are you not going to wait for Julien to wake up?"

"Just let Julien know that I dropped by when he wakes up. Please let me know if he does." After saying that, Lyra looked at Julien once more and left.

She was afraid that she might really strangle the old lady if she stayed any longer.

Once she left the room, Lyra heaved a breath of relief. Her expression changed almost instantly. There was no trace of sadness, just a terrifyingly insidious expression.

She took out her phone and called someone. "Finn, I want to see you."

In the dimly lit basement, Finn stopped what he was doing and smiled. "Sure. Let’s meet at the suite from before."

When the call ended, Finn called someone else.

Skylight Corporation.

Sydney was talking to Cayden.

She gave him a cup of coffee and said, "Don't you have any work today? Why are you here? Are you not afraid that your manager might be looking for you?”

"I just ended a job in the Ice Valley which lasted for two months, so the company gave me a week off to recuperate and recover from the jet lag,” Cayden took a sip of coffee and replied in his gentle voice.

Sydney nodded. "I see.”

"Sydney, do you find me annoying? Are you chasing me away?"

Sydney smiled. "Hey, I treat you as my brother. How can a sister find her brother annoying?"

Cayden regained his delighted smile, yet the smile did not reach his eyes.

Brother?

He had already grown up.

"Sydney, did you see the news today?” Cayden asked.

Sydney was looking through a document when he asked. She tilted her head and asked, "Are you talking about Julien's car accident?"
