My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 212 The Loans Were Paid Off

Luke, who was chomping on an apple nearby, saw this and put down the apple, asking, "What's wrong, Darling?"

"Look at this." Sydney handed the phone over.

Luke took it and read it out loud, "I’ll soon make Lyra pay the price. Finn."

He looked at her with wide eyes. "Darling, it's a message from Finn. How did he get your number?"

"It's easy to get someone's number. You can find it just by looking it up," Sydney said faintly, but her brows were furrowed tightly. "But what I care more about is the content of the message. 'I'll soon make Lyra pay the price'. Was what he said here earlier true? Is he going to deal with the people who hurt me?"

Luke pursed his lips. "Whether it's true or not, let him deal with them if he wants to. It's a good thing for us anyway."

"That's true." Sydney nodded.

Luke handed the phone back to her. "Well, don't reply to the message. Remember, we still don't know if he plans on dealing with Lyra. If it's fake, then he must’ve deliberately sent this message to lure us out so that he can mess with us. We'll just ignore it."

Sydney hummed. "Don't worry, I know."

After she spoke, she deleted the message from Finn.

Luke continued to nibble on the apple. "By the way, I've already donated that ring for you." Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Sydney's eyes flickered when she heard that. Then, she nodded. "Okay."

"Well, I'll leave first. I'll come pick you up in two days when the auction is held." Luke threw the apple's core into the trash can and clapped his hands.

Sydney smiled. "Okay. Go on."

"Bye." Luke waved and walked to the door.

Only Sydney was left in the office. She reached out and took a pen from the pen holder, beginning to process the documents.

At that moment, Sharon knocked on the door and entered with an urgent expression. "President Raines."

"What's wrong?" Sydney stopped her pen and looked at Sharon.

Sharon looked around, saw a glass of water on the table, picked it up, and downed the cup without even asking.

"Uh..." Sydney wanted to tell Sharon that she had drunk from that cup, but when she heard Sharon's gulps, she swallowed back her words and shook her head in exasperation. "Why are you so thirsty?"

"Don't get me started. I ran all the way up here," Sharon put down the cup and said with a sigh of relief.

Sydney stared in amazement. "You ran up here? Don't tell me you ran up the emergency staircase from the finance department?"

"Yeah, I ran up the stairs. The elevator had just gone down, and I had something urgent to ask you, so I didn't bother to wait." Sharon pulled out the chair across Sydney and sat down.

Sydney saw sweat seeping out of Sharon's forehead and smiled as she handed over a tissue. "Wipe it."

"Thanks." Sharon took the tissue.

Sydney stood up, took a clean mug, and went to the water fountain to pour a glass of water for Sharon. She put the cup in front of Sharon and asked, "You said you had something urgent to ask me. What was it?"

"It's about Skylight's loans." Sharon threw the tissue into the trash can as her expression turned serious." President Raines, who the hell is Mr. B? That guy paid off all loans from all the banks we borrowed from. I was completely shocked when the bank called to inform me just now."

Sydney was confused. "Wait, what are you talking about? Who’s Mr. B? What loans were paid off?"

Sharon blinked at her reaction. "President Raines, you don't know who Mr. B is?"

Sydney shook her head. "Never heard of him."

"That's weird. If you don't know him, then why did he pay off all our loans? The repayment instructions also clearly wrote that he was your acquaintance, so it's clear that he's doing this for you. If you don't know who he is... Could he be a secret admirer?"

After saying those words, Sharon had an envious expression. "If he's a secret admirer, then he's amazing. President Raines, you should go for it."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Sydney frowned tightly. "Sharon, you're saying that Mr. B helped us pay off all our bank loans? Is that what you meant?"

"Yep. From now on, we at Skylight are completely debt -free. All the money we earn from now on will not be for the bank, but ourselves," Sharon said happily.

However, Sydney was not happy. Her red lips pursed into a thin line.

A person she did not know helped Skylight pay off their loans. There was no such thing as a free lunch. She only thought that there was a scheme behind this.

It was hundreds of millions of dollars! How would anyone be that generous?

"Is there any information about who repaid the loan?" Sydney's eyes narrowed as she asked.

Sharon slapped her forehead. "Yes, I forgot about that. Give me a moment. I'll give it to you."

Then, she took out a stack of documents from the folder she always carried around, and handed it to Sydney.

After receiving it, Sydney did not immediately look at it and asked instead, "Did you announce that our loans were fully paid off?"

"No, you're the first one I told." Sharon shook her head.

Sydney sighed in relief. "That's good. You go back to the finance department for now. Keep this matter confidential and don't tell anyone about this. Wait for me to figure out who paid off the loan before announcing anything."

"Understood," Sharon answered and went out.

Then, Sydney started checking the loan repayment documents, trying to find out if there were any clues as to who the person was.

Soon, she found what she was looking for.

When she saw the letters Z-H on one of the pages, she immediately understood who the person was.

She quickly picked up her phone and found Z-H's chatroom. However, instead of typing like she usually did, she clicked on the voice call icon.

In Flint Corporation, Julien was having a meeting when a phone suddenly rang, interrupting the meeting.

He narrowed his eyes unhappily. "Whose phone is it?"

No one in the meeting room spoke.

When Julien saw this, his expression turned unpleasant and his voice became even colder. "I remember I said before to mute your phones when we're in a meeting. Did my words go in one ear and out the other?"

Faced with his anger, someone in the room finally raised his hand. "President Flint, well... It's not our phone that's ringing. It's yours."

Julien was stunned. "Mine?"

"Yes." The man nodded.

Julien put down the file in his hand, pushed his wheelchair from the large screen back to the table, and found that it was his phone ringing.

It was the ringtone for a voice call. Almost no one used voice calls to contact him, so he was unfamiliar with the ringtone. That was why he did not realize that it was his phone.

Julien's expression eased up considerably. He picked up the phone and intended to see who it was from.

Unexpectedly, it was from Sydney.

Why was she calling him at this time?

"The meeting is suspended. I'm going to take the call." Julien took his phone and went out of the conference room.

There was a lot of discussion in the conference room.

"Sigh, only a boss can do that. What's permissible for Jupiter isn't permissible for a bull. He told us to mute our phones during a meeting, and that’s what we did, but he didn't mute his own phone." "Yeah. He also said no phone calls are allowed during meetings, but he broke his own rule. This is the definition of double standards."

"President Flint appears to care about that call quite a lot. It's probably from Ms. Madden."

"It must be. Look at how gentle his eyes are."

Outside the conference room, Julien did not know that the people inside were talking about him. He went to the corridor and looked at the still ringing phone. A trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes as he pondered on whether to answer it or not.

He was afraid that he would expose himself if he did.

However, in the end, he swiped the green phone icon and picked up the call. "Hello?"
