My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 228 Someone I Know

"No. I'm talking about someone else's. I don't know what's going on today, but there are suddenly a lot of scandals within the industry," Layden replied.

Sydney was stunned. "Scandals?"

"Yes. President Wilson from the Hallmark Corporation has an illegitimate son with his lover. President Lawrence from the Toppen Corporation was detained for tax evasion, and President Corlton from the Cannes Corporation was found to be abusive toward his wife and children. The scandals of these big bosses from large corporations are all over the Internet, and it has become a mess," Layden said in a mocking tone.

Sydney widened her eyes in surprise. "Did they step on someone’s foot? And that person happened to be someone prominent so he exposed their evil deeds? However, it seems impossible for all of them to offend a single person at once."

"Who knows? Maybe someone could no longer stand them and did this." Layden smiled.

Sydney nodded. "You're right. Stephen Dayton is lucky that he doesn’t have any scandal like that, or he might appear on the Internet as well. It’s fine if he ruins his reputation, but he might drag Skylight Corporation down with him."

"Don't worry, this will never happen to Skylight Corporation." Cayden rubbed his mug.

Sydney smiled and said, "Nothing is ever absolute, even..."

Before she could finish her sentence, her phone rang.

Sydney gave Cayden an apologetic smile and picked up the phone. She glanced at the caller ID and found that it was a new number.

"Hello? Who’s on the line?" Sydney answered the call and said.

On the other side of the call, Finn was silent for two seconds before replying, "You didn't save my number?"

Sydney blinked. "Finn James?”

"That's me."

"Sydney, who is it?" Cayden looked at her.

She gave Cayden a gesture, asking him to hold on. She continued, "What's the matter?"

"Lyra Madden called me and said she wants to see me. It must be something related to you." Finn put his phone between his ear and his shoulder. Both his hands were occupied with the animal corpse on the operating table.

Sydney narrowed her eyes. "Why would you say that?"

"Because she doesn't look for me, unless she wants to do something to you," Finn replied lightly.

Sydney pursed her lips. "Do you mean to say that you have done that before?"

Finn paused. "Yes. I'm sorry for that. The one who snatched your handbag on the motorbike was me."

"It was you!" Sydney's expression darkened and she stood up in anger.

Cayden quickly stood up as well. "Sydney, what's wrong?"

"I’m fine." Sydney rubbed her eyebrows.

She continued asking, "Where's my bag now?"

"I already threw it into the septic tank," Finn said in an apologetic tone.

He did not know that she was his angel back then. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Right after he snatched her bag, he quickly helped Lyra damage the bag and the evidence in it.

"Finn, I’ll remember this!” Sydney felt her chest tightening in anger. She took a few deep breaths before finally calming down a little. "Fine. What do you want from me today?"

"I just told you. Lyra is looking for me, and I think she's planning something against you. I think you should come over too." The animal corpse that he was working on was done. He put down the scalpel, took off his gloves, and went to the sink to wash his hands.

Sydney tightened her phone in alarm. "Who knows if you're purposely luring me over? You might still be working with Lyra Maddens. I didn't forget that you're close to Lyra. So why should I trust you?"

"I'm close to Lyra because I thought she was you. Once I found out that she wasn't, I naturally cut off ties with her. Moreover, I can’t believe that she lied to me. If you don’t trust me, you can bring people over,” Finn said as he washed his hands.

Sydney was silent.

After a short moment, she made a decision. She bit her lip and said, "Send me your address."

Since he said that she could bring someone, then she would. If it was a trap, she could at least find help and escape.

More importantly, if what he said was true, then she could find out what Lyra wanted to do to her beforehand.

Very quickly, Sydney received the address from Finn.

She replied, "I'll be right there."

When Finn saw her reply, he pushed his glasses and put his phone back in his pocket. He took out a bottle of medicine without a label from the glass cabinet. He then left the basement with countless animal corpses and labeled human body parts.

"Sydney, are you heading out?" When Layden saw that Sydney was packing up, he asked her.

Sydney nodded and told him about her conversation with Finn.

Cayden insisted on following her after hearing it.

Sydney wanted to reject him. After all, it was between her and Lyra, and she should not get Cayden involved.

However, Cayden's desperate look made her relent.

The both of them walked toward the door.

Just as they left the office, Sharon was walking over with a folder in her hand. "President Raines, where are you going?”

"Something came up. What happened?" Sydney looked at her.

Sharon waved the document at her. "This is last month’s finance report. You have to look through it and sign."

"Put it in my office. I’ll come back for it later."

“Alright." Sharon nodded and noticed Cayden, who was beside Sydney. Her expression suddenly turned cold.

"President Raines, this is..." Sharon stared right at Cayden as she asked.

If it was not for the vigilance in Sharon’s eyes, Sydney might think that Sharon had fallen in love with Cayden at first sight.

"This is my brother. His name is Cayden Lowe." Sydney introduced him and looked at Cayden. "Cay, this is my finance director, and also a very good friend of mine, Sharon Campbell."

"Hello." Cayden did not seem to notice Sharon's gaze. He smiled at her and stretched out his hand for a handshake.

"Hello." Something flashed across Sharon’s eyes as she took his hand.

Two seconds later, Cayden was the one who withdrew his hand first.

Sharon turned her head and asked Sydney, "President Raines, aren't you the only child? I didn't know you had a brother."

"We're not blood-related," Sydney explained.

Sharon nodded in realization and turned her gaze back to Cayden. "Mr. Lowe, is your last name just Lowe? Do you perhaps have another last name such as Cohen, or... Bennet?"

"What do you mean?" Cayden's usual smile was gone.

Sydney was also confused. "Sharon, why are you asking that?"

Sharon smiled. "Please don't misunderstand. I just find that Mr. Lowe looks a lot like someone I know."

"Do you think I have something to do with that person?" Cayden gazed at her.

Sharon met his eyes. "Yes.”

"I'm sorry to disappoint you then. My last name isn't Cohen, nor is it Bennet. My last name is just Lowe, so the person you mentioned just now has nothing to do with me." Cayden straightened himself and tugged on Sydney’s hand. "Let's not delay any further, Sydney. Let’s go."

"Sharon, we'll take leave first. Wait until I come back if you have anything else." Sydney looked at Sharon.

Sharon nodded.

She watched Cayden leave with Sydney until they disappeared in the elevator. She made a call. "Old man, I saw someone who looks a lot like Master. I think he’s the one we're looking for. His name is Cayden Lowe. Please find out about him."

On the other hand, in the car.

Cayden was driving when he said in a serious tone," Sydney, Sharon isn't as simple as you think she is. She killed someone before, so stay away from her."

When Sydney heard that, she was shocked. "Killed someone? Cay, don't scare me. How's that possible?"
