Chapter 285 Fake Clarice Made Her Move
Brandon knew that this matter must have been related to Sydney.
Twenty years ago, Harry Raines killed his eldest daughter. Now, Harry's daughter destroyed his second daughter and ruined all the opportunities to make a marriage alliance with the Flint family.
He swore to destroy the entire Raines family.
When Lyra heard Brandon's promise, she smiled.
She then thought of something and asked," Mom, how did you find me?"
Those six men humiliated and violated her in the worst possible ways and she passed out in the end. She had no idea what happened after that.
"We didn't find you. Someone found you in the complex," Mrs. Madden shook her head when she answered.
Lyra’s pupils constricted and she became uneasy. "Complex?"
Mrs. Madden’s eyes were red as she nodded. "That night, you were put into a gunny sack naked and thrown onto the complex. A passerby found you by chance and called the police."
"Police?" When Lyra heard that, she almost passed out again.
Her nails bit into her palm, and she used so much force that it was now bleeding.
However, she could not feel any pain. She became more agitated as she said, "You mean, everyone in town found out that
Lyra Madden had been violated?'
Although Mrs. Madden wanted to tell her a white lie and cover it up, she knew that she would not be able to hide this for long.
Once Lyra logged on to the Internet, she would find out the truth.
"Yes." Mrs. Madden painfully nodded.
Brandon patted his wife’s shoulder as a sign of comfort.
"How did it come to this...?'' Lyra felt dizzy, as though her world was crashing down.
Everyone knew that she got violated. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
She could already imagine how the netizens were talking and discussing about her, how the other socialites in her social circle would laugh behind her back, and how the media would use her to gain viewer ratings.
"How about Julien? Does Julien know about this?” Lyra asked with her eyes red.
Mrs. Madden turned her head away.
When Lyra saw her reaction, her heart sank. "Julien... found out..."
Brandon slammed on the table angrily. "He found out and annulled the engagement!"
"..." Lyra was silent. She stared at the ceiling and she seemed as though she had lost her soul.
After a few seconds, she suddenly started laughing. She laughed like a madwoman, and there were tears in her eyes.
Mrs. Madden's heart was aching when she looked at Lyra. "Lyra..."
"It's okay. She must be feeling horrible and she's just finding an outlet to release it. Let her be." Brandon stopped Mrs. Madden from stepping forward.
Mrs. Madden had no choice and nodded.
Just then, Brandon's assistant knocked on the door.
"President Madden, the girl with the daughter necklace is found!" the assistant said in a hurry.
Brandon and his wife's expressions hardened instantly.
Even Lyra stopped laughing and crying. She choked on her own saliva and started coughing violently.
However, Brandon and Mrs. Madden did not care. They were just staring at the assistant.
"What did you just say? You found Clarice?" Mrs. Madden's hand was trembling.
It was the same for Brandon.
Like his wife, he hoped to find his eldest daughter.
The eldest daughter that was blood-related to him.
More importantly, now that Lyra was ruined, he could only place all his hopes and aspirations on Clarice.
"Yes." The assistant nodded. "When I just came to the hospital, a girl stopped me and passed this to me." The assistant stretched out his palm and within it laid an old necklace.
When Mrs. Madden saw the necklace, she burst into tears. She covered her mouth with both her hands and she could not speak.
Brandon seemed more collected, but as he reached out for the necklace, his hand was trembling.
Brandon took the necklace and flipped the pendant over. When he saw Clarice's initials written on it, a smile instantly appeared on his face. "This is Clarice's necklace!"
Mrs. Madden saw it too and quickly nodded. "It's Clarice! It's our Clarice!
Where's she?”
"She's at the hospital lobby. I made her wait for me there," the assistant replied.
Mrs. Madden pulled Brandon's arm." Brandon, let's go. Let's see Clarice.”
"Yes, yes. Let's go.” Brandon carefully kept the necklace.
The couple rushed out of the hospital room with the assistant following behind them.
None of them turned around to look at Lyra.
For Brandon Madden and his wife, Lyra was not as important compared to Clarice's return.
“AHHHHHHH!" Lyra screamed and repeatedly threw the things on her bed toward the floor and the wall. She was releasing all her anger.
She did so much to stop her parents from finding Clarice Madden. She even hired a private investigator and found nothing.
Who knew that she would appear in a time like this?
God was unfair. First, it was Sydney and now Clarice!
Very quickly, Lyra calmed down and stared at the ceiling gloomily.
Now that Clarice had returned, she would take away her parents’ love for her, as well as the inheritance and money. However, Lyra did not believe that she would lose out against a girl who was abandoned for such a long time.
Now, she should focus on her own matters. Clarice's matters could wait.
As Lyra thought about that, she sucked in a deep breath and took her phone next to the pillow. She called Finn with a darkened expression.
Finn was in the middle of the consultation when he saw his phone ring. He looked toward it and saw that it was Lyra.
He did not answer immediately. Instead, he gave the prescription to his patient first and said, "You don't have a serious issue. Take two courses of medication and you'll be fine."
"Alright. Thanks, Doctor." His patient took the prescription and stood up with gratitude.
Finn nodded. "Go and get your medicine.” "Lure." His patient nodded and left.
Finn then picked up his phone and answered the call.
Before he could speak, Lyra already started her scolding. "Finn James, I told you to lure Sydney to the North Shore Avenue. Why did I become the one who was violated in the end?"
The corners of Finn's lips curled into a smile. However, his words were apologetic. "I lured Sydney over, but I didn't expect it to happen to you instead. I only found out that Sydney didn't turn up when I saw your news that night. Something came up when Sydney was on the way, so she turned back. You have a red mole on your wrist like Sydney, so they mistook you for Sydney." What he said made perfect sense, and Lyra could not pick up a single trace of a lie.
She believed everything Finn said.
Moreover, she thought that she was still Finn's angel, and believed that Finn would not scheme against her.
She put all the blame on Sydney. Why did Sydney have a red mole on her wrist? Why did she leave when she was already on her way?
If Sydney did not turn back halfway, then Lyra would not be violated!
