My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 283 Cayden Is Dangerous

"No need!" Sydney frowned and put her arm behind her back, bluntly refusing Julien.

Julien's hand froze mid-air, and after a while, he tightened it into a fist and withdrew it. The disappointment welled up within him.

"Sydney, I'm sorry..." Cayden lowered his head and apologized once again. His expression was extremely remorseful.

He did not mean to hurt her.

He just could not control the anger in his heart and unconsciously did it.

When Sydney saw the usually gentle young man looking so melancholic, she suddenly realized that he looked like a big dog who did something wrong. Her heart softened.

She ruffled his hair and put on a tender smile. "Don't worry. I'm not angry."

"Really?" Layden lifted his head and looked at her with glimmering eyes.

Sydney nodded. "Really!"

Only then did Layden put down the apprehension in his heart and smiled again.

Julien found the entire scene painful to watch.

Of course, he was more concerned about Layden's personality.

Julien's intuition was telling him that Layden was a dangerous person.

"Sydney, follow me there. I have an important matter to talk to you about." Julien frowned and his face was solemn. When Sydney saw his serious expression, she thought that it was something

important and her heart sank. She nodded and agreed.

"Sydney?" Layden's bad mood resurfaced once more.

Sydney patted the back of his hand and said, "I'll be quick."

After saying that, she walked toward the corner where Julien pointed to earlier.

Julien did not spare Layden a glance when he walked there as well.

Layden stared at the two of them in the corner and his eyes were bloodshot. He clenched his fists tight, and they were trembling. Even his veins were popping all over.

He certainly wanted to kill Julien. He would then kill Hunter and Luke as well. He wanted to get rid of all these people who might take Sydney away from him.

After killing all of them, he would bring Sydney overseas and put her in the cage he specially made for her. In this life, she would never be able to leave him, and she would only have him in her heart.

In the corner, Sydney turned to face Julien and asked, "President Flint, what do you want to tell me?"

"Stay away from Layden Lowe," Julien said sternly.

"What?" Sydney was stunned and widened her eyes in disbelief. "You called me here saying that you have something important to tell me, and it’s to tell me to stay away from Cay? Are you sick?"

She angrily sneered and wanted to leave.

No wonder he had to call her to the corner. He did not want to let Layden hear it!

"Wait!" Julien pulled her arm and stopped her.

"Let go!" Sydney swept his arm away.

Julien refused to let go. “Sydney, I'm serious. Layden is a dangerous person.

You'll get hurt someday if you continue to stay so close to him."

Sydney was enraged. "Hurt? Julien Flint, don't you think it’s funny for you to say this to me? He’s my brother and I know him well. He's gentle and kind, so he'll never hurt me. Aren't you the one who hurt me?"

She gave him a mocking smile.

Julien felt like he was stabbed by her words and said nothing else.

She was right. The one who hurt her was him.

Even though he did not intend to, and he was not in control over himself back then, it was still him who did it. He could not deny it.

When Julien said nothing, Sydney swept his hand away and warned, "Don't mention anything about Cay or Luke hurting me in the future!"

After saying that, she gave him a cold glare and walked toward Cayden.

Julien put his hand on his chest as he felt a dull ache there.

He clearly remembered how indifferent he was toward her for the past six years.

He did not think much about it before, but now he knew how horrible it could be to be treated with indifference.

“Sydney.” When Layden saw Sydney's unhappy expression when she came back, he suppressed the dark emotions within and asked with concern, "What did he say to you?”

Sydney looked at him and something flashed across her eyes. However, she shook her head and said, "Nothing. Let's go."

She could not bring herself to tell Layden what Julien said to her just now.

Layden noticed that Sydney did not want to talk about it and his eyes darkened.

However, it quickly returned to normal and he nodded. "Let's go, then."

They did not look at Julien again and walked toward the exit of the police station.

When they almost walked out, an office door suddenly opened and Brandon walked out with another police officer.

His expression was gloomy as he said to the police officer, "You have to find those six scumbags!”

"Don't worry, President Madden. This is our duty.” The police officer nodded.

Brandon's expression became much lighter at his reassurance.

He suddenly noticed that someone was looking at him and turned around. Only then did he realize that it was Sydney. He sneered and left the police station without saying anything else.

Sydney had no interest in his departure but was interested in the six scumbags he mentioned.

"Officer," Sydney called for the police officer who was talking to Brandon earlier.

The police officer halted his footsteps and said, "Ms. Raines, can I help you?”

Sydney was one of the biggest taxpayers in the city, so the police officer naturally knew her.

Sydney smiled at him and asked, "What did President Madden mean when he said six scumbags earlier?”

When Layden heard her question, he lowered his gaze to cover the emotions behind it. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Neither Sydney nor the police officer noticed it.

The police officer replied, "President Madden came to look for the surveillance videos of the complex, specifically that night when Ms. Madden’s incident occurred. He wanted to catch the six criminals who violated Ms. Madden."

"Six?” Sydney was stunned at the number.

She always thought that it was only one man who violated Lyra.

Little did she know that Finn hired six of them. He hated Lyra more than she imagined.

Sydney had initially put down her guard against Finn, but her alertness arose once more and it was heavier than before.

Even though Lyra impersonated her and Finn hated Lyra for this, this was just murder. His methods were terrifying.

If Finn decided to end his gratitude toward her someday, would he use the same methods on her?

Sydney shuddered when she thought about that.

The police officer did now know what she was thinking and thought that she was just shocked. He nodded and said, "Yes. Six. Ms. Raines, please don't let anyone else know about this. It will be a great inconvenience to our investigation.”

"Alright," Sydney promised and the police officer left.

Sydney remained where she was for a short while until Layden called her. She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and forced a smile. They then left the police station together.

That night, the police called and said that they had decided on what to do with Kate and Felix. It was so quick that even Sydney was stunned.

Since when was the police department so efficient?

Sydney did not think too much about it and asked about the result and how long the detention was.

Very quickly, she got the answer.

Felix was not the mastermind so he was to be detained for 10 days.

As for Kate, she had to be detained for 20 days, and she also had to compensate Sydney for the potential psychological damages she had done. The compensation was two hundred thousand dollars.

Sydney was stunned at the amount.

On the way back home, she called her lawyer team to inquire about Kate's situation. The lawyer told her that although Kate had committed criminal intimidation, it was not a serious act and she would be detained for 10 days, with a compensation of up to fifty thousand.

Now that Kate's detention lasted up to 20

days and even the compensation amount quadrupled, there was a problem.
