Chapter 239 A Plan to Get Brandon Madden's Hair
"D*mn. After so much effort, Lyra isn't related to the Maddens by blood?” Hunter grabbed his hair in irritation.
Sydney pursed her lips. "It doesn’t matter to us whether Lyra is related to them by blood or not.
What’s more important is that we can't use her hair at all. We have to find a way to get the hair from Brandon Madden or his wife. Otherwise, we can't create a DNA profile for Clarice."
Sydney looked at Clarice, who had her head lowered and had been quiet.
Hunter touched his chin. "I'll settle this matter."
"What are you planning to do?" Sydney turned her gaze to him.
Hunter smiled and snapped his fingers. "It's easy. I'll learn from you and find someone to create a minor accident with Brandon Madden's car. The person can argue that it was Brandon’s mistake, and we can cause a fight that way."
Hunter blinked at Sydney.
Instead of saying something, Sydney gave him a thumbs up.
Hunter was like a child who got praised, and his smile was so bright it could light up the room.
After that, he looked at Clarice. "You heard what happened. We will have to delay your return to the Maddens for another two days."
"It's alright. I will wait for Mr. Cohen and Ms. Raines’s arrangement." Clarice quickly waved her hands and said.
Hunter nodded. "Let’s go."
Sydney agreed and left with him.
In the elevator, Sydney suddenly asked, "Oh right, I forgot to ask on what terms did Denna Loffe agree to be a stand-in for Clarice? Even though Clarice's identity is tempting, the risk of exposing herself is also high. Once this gets exposed, Brandon will definitely not let Denna off easily. It’s not easy to pretend to be a daughter from a rich family."
"Money." Hunter put both his hands on the back of his head. "In this world, nothing else is better than money. I told you that Denna Loffe came from a patriarchal family, and she was abused since she was a child, so she was never schooled. When I found her, her parents were planning to marry her off to a 50-year -old widower, with the conditions of a 200 thousand dowry. They wanted to use this money for their son’s marriage."
A flash of disgust appeared in Sydney's eyes. "Her parents are horrible!"
"Exactly. So, I spent 200 thousand to break off her ties with her family. I also promised her that if she is willing to pretend to be Clarice Madden and be our spy, I will give her a million dollars and one property. She agreed right away," Hunter said.
Sydney came to a realization. "I see, but a million sounds too little. When we get what we want, I will add on another million. Two million dollars should be enough for someone to live a simple life. What about her parents and family? What if they come out and expose her later on?”
"Don't worry,” Hunter said with determination. "I've sent someone to watch them, and I'll never let them step foot into Port City. Moreover, before I brought Denna to Port City, I already erased all her past records. Even if someone suspects that Denna is not Clarice, they will not be able to find out who she really is."
"That’s good.” Sydney smiled at him, reassured.
"Oh, right. I'll have to drop by Flint Corporation later to discuss some business with Julien, so I can't send you back..."
"I can take a cab. You go ahead." Sydney smiled.
With a ding, the elevator door opened.
The two of them went their separate ways at the side of the road.
Sydney took a cab back to Skylight Corporation, while Hunter drove to Flint Corporation.
In Flint Corporation, Brandon walked into the president’s office with Zach's guidance.
Julien was waiting for him inside.
After Brandon went in, he sat down right away." Julien, I think you know why I'm here today."
"Lyra." Julien looked at him and said softly.
Brandon nodded. "That's right. I came because of Lyra. I heard from her that you've been really cold toward her these days. You did not even give her a chance when she came to visit you. What did she do wrong that got you so angry?"
Julien lowered his eyes. "Uncle, you came here because Lyra told you to, or because you wanted to?"
Brandon cleared his throat. "Both. Lyra said you’ve been ignoring her, so she asked me to come over. As a father, I can't bear to see her like that. Julien, if Lyra did something wrong, let me know. I will make Lyra apologize."
Julien rubbed his fingers against each other and said nothing.
Brandon felt uneasy as he could not tell what Julien was thinking.
"Julien." Brandon leaned forward. "You can tell me the truth. Are you embarrassed by Lyra because of what she did at the banquet a few days ago? That's why you
n
"No." Julien rubbed his eyebrows. "I just suddenly realized that Lyra and I are not suitable for each other.”
When Brandon heard that, his heart sank, and his expression changed. "Julien, what do you mean by not suitable? Are you telling me that you're breaking up with her?"
Something flashed in Julien's eyes, and he looked right at Brandon.
"Since you’ve mentioned it, I will be honest with you. I
Before Julien could finish his sentence, Brandon's phone rang and interrupted him.
Brandon made a gesture for him to hold on as he took out his phone. "What's the matter?”
"President Madden, something is wrong. The aftersales department said that there's an issue with our newest product. A lot of consumers are now at our company demanding an explanation. They’ve even threatened to go to the commerce department and report us for deceiving customers by selling fake products," his assistant said.
"What?" Brandon stood up in shock. "Do the consumers have nothing better to do? Why are they threatening to report us just because of such a small matter? I'll be back soon."
He put down his phone. "Julien, let’s continue this conversation next time. Someone came up in my company so I'll have to leave now. Just talk things through with Lyra. Because you’ve been ignoring
her for the past two days, she has not heeling sleeping or eating well, and I’m really worried."
After that, he quickly disappeared from Julien’s office.
Julien frowned, visibly displeased at how things had progressed.
However, he could not call him back.
Maybe breaking up was a matter for another day.
In Flint Corporation's parking lot, Brandon was rushing out of the elevator toward his car.
Suddenly, a man wearing a floral shirt came by. He had sunshades, a cigarette between his lips, and also tattoos all over his face and arms. He had both his hands in his pocket, and he was humming a tune when he walked over and ran into Brandon.
Having spent most of his time in the office, Brandon rarely exercised. On top of his old age, he fell to the ground from the impact and groaned in pain the moment he ran into the big man. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Before Brandon realized what was going on, the big man was shouting angrily.
He spat the cigarette out from his mouth and took out his sunshades, revealing a ferocious expression underneath. Then, he grabbed Brandon's hair and practically lifted Brandon from the ground, roaring," Are you blind? Did you not see me? How dare you run into me?"
Brandon had always been respected and treated nicely. He was never once man-handled, which enraged him too.
However, when he saw how muscular the guy was, the anger in his heart disappeared and turned into fear.
He should not provoke someone like that.
