My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 286 History of the Madden Family

When she thought about those men, Lyra tightened her grip on the phone. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Those who violated me were all hired by you! Hand them to me now."

She wanted to kill those men herself.

Finn leaned back against his chair. "I can't. The moment they found out from the news that you aren’t Sydney, they ran away.

They are probably afraid that we might be looking for them."

"What? Ran away?" Lyra's voice was high-pitched.

Finn lazily twirled his scalpel. "Yes. I've been looking for them for two days now, and I don’t have any leads at all."

"Damn! They ran away!" Lyra was furious.

If they ran away, how would she take revenge?

However, when she thought about the fact that Sydney was still around, she felt somewhat relieved.

Since she could not find those men, then she would start with Sydney first.

“Finn, continue looking for them. Let me know if you find anything,” Lyra ordered.

Finn pushed his glasses. "Alright."

When the call ended, Lyra put down her phone and opened the social media platforms to look at the news related to her.

When she saw the malicious comments who mocked her, she wanted to kill them all.

However, when she noted the change in comments in the past two days, she suddenly felt better.

Many were sympathizing with her and believed that she was just a victim.

Since she gained so much support this way, she would just play along as the victim.

As Lyra thought about that, she narrowed her eyes and made a call. "Hello, is this Wave Entertainment? I'm Lyra Madden..."

On the other side, Hunter asked Sydney out and they met up in a quiet cafe.

Sydney yawned and looked at Hunter in dismay. "Hunter, are you sick? Why do you call me out this late at night? It's my bedtime."

Hunter chuckled and said, "I'm sorry! I called you out for an important matter.

"What is it?" Sydney mixed her milk and took a sip.

Hunter kept his usual nonchalant look and suddenly became more serious. "I made fake Clarice appear before Brandon Madden and his wife."

When Sydney heard this, she paused.

Very quickly, she recovered and put down her milk. "How's the situation?”

"It went very smoothly. The couple was in the hospital with Lyra Madden, and I told fake Clarice to go to the hospital directly. Based on my sources in the hospital, Mrs. Madden was already sure that the flake Clarice is the real one. However, Brandon was more rational. He was also worked up and excited about this, but he insisted on a paternity test," Hunter took a sip of his coffee after he replied.

"Brandon Madden and his wife love their eldest daughter,” Sydney said as she played with her straw.

However, why were the couple so anxious about looking for their eldest daughter?

Why did Brandon get so excited?

When Sydney thought about this, she had a gut feeling that she just could not pinpoint.

However, she did not give it much thought and brushed the feeling off.

Hunter shrugged and said, “Of course. Clarice is their only blood-related daughter. Lyra was only adopted to comfort Mrs. Madden.”

“Comfort?” Sydney was bewildered. "What do you mean?" "I found this shocking piece of information a few days ago. Twenty years ago, after Mrs. Madden saw Clarice drown to her death, she became mentally unstable. Whenever she saw any infant around Clarice's age, she'd insist that it was Clarice and try to snatch the infant from its parents. Otherwise, she'd carry a pillow all day long and treat it as Clarice," Hunter said.

Sydney widened her eyes. "Really?"

"Yes." Hunter nodded.

Sydney sighed. "I can't tell that Mrs. Madden has a mental illness at all."

"She recovered long ago. Right after that incident, Brandon went to look for Clarice's replacement from the orphanage, which is Lyra. He even made a birthmark on Lyra just to make her look like Clarice," Hunter added.

Sydney nodded. "I see. Brandon seemed to love his wife very much too.”

"They grew up together, so they love each other. More importantly, other than Mrs. Madden, no one would marry Brandon Madden." Hunter said jokingly.

This piqued Sydney's interest. "What?

Why? Does he have a problem?"

"Bingo!" Hunter snapped his fingers. "My Sydney is so smart!" Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Sydney rolled her eyes at him. "Go away! Why am I yours? Be serious!"

Hunter laughed. "Sure, sure. I’ll be more serious."

He cleared his throat and continued," Brandon Madden was tested to have necrospermia, which means that his sperms are mostly dead. This piece of info came to me after a great deal of effort!

When Mrs. Madden gave birth to Clarice, it was almost a miracle. Clarice Madden is thus his only daughter and he even made a necklace for her."

When Sydney heard that, she nodded in realization. "No wonder. Brandon cared about Trison Corporation a lot, yet when he knew that Lyra had no managing talents, he still did not plan for another successor. It was because of this."

"Unbelievable, right?" Hunter smiled.

Sydney nodded. "Yes. But these are all unimportant. The most important thing is that you have sorted out all the paternal tests accordingly?"

"Don't worry. I handled this personally.

Anyone who takes fake Clarice, Brandon, or his wife's hair to do a paternity test would show the same result and state that they are blood-related to each other. Of course, this is only within Port

City. It won't work if they go overseas, Hunter said.

After all, the Cohen family only had their influence in Port City.

The Cohen family also could not get involved in other businesses, or they might run into trouble with the central tax department.

"That’s good, then." When Sydney heard Hunter's guarantee, she heaved a breath of relief.

A paternity test overseas?

She felt that normal people would not go through the trouble to do it somewhere so far away.

The two of them stayed in the cafe for two hours or so before leaving.

Hunter sent Sydney back to Shallow Bay." Davey wants to come and look for you. I'll bring him next time."

Sydney smiled as she nodded. "Alright. I miss him too."

Hunter’s eyes brightened. "It's a promise, then!"

Great! He had another excuse for next time.

Sydney nodded.

"It's late. Go in quick. I’ll be leaving now. Bye!" Hunter waved, rolled up his window, and drove away.

Sydney remained where she was and looked at Hunter's car until it disappeared from her sight.

When she turned around, she suddenly heard a familiar voice. "Sydney!" An ordinary car was parked around 10 meters away from her, and the door opened. Julien got down from the car and

walked toward her.

Sydney frowned.

He drove such an ordinary car. No wonder she did not notice him just now.

"Where did you go with Hunter?” Julien asked with a low voice when he stood in front of her.
