My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 310 Mrs. Madden's Plea

Sydney was looking through reports when she heard her phone vibrate. When she grabbed her phone and saw this message, she hurriedly sent him a voice message. " How are you now?"

Finn stretched out his hand to hail a cab. When he got in, he typed: [I’m fine. I didn't admit to the accusations, but the police probably know that I'm an accomplice.

However, since neither the police nor Lyra can produce any evidence, they can't arrest me unless they find those six men.]

Sydney sighed in relief, and then asked, " Where are those six men? Will they get caught?"

Finn typed: [No. I already changed their names and sent them abroad. They'll never come back in their lives.]

In other words, the police would never catch those six men. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

If those six men could not confess that Finn called them, then the entire crime would be borne by Lyra alone.

Sydney nodded to show her understanding. "That's good."

After a few more words, the two ended their conversation.

At that moment, Sophie knocked at the door and came in. "President Raines, Prison's Mrs. Madden and Eldest Miss Madden are here and want to see you."

This “Eldest Miss Madden" had become a popular topic of conversation in Port City.

Two days ago, this Eldest Miss Madden suddenly appeared, and the Madden family announced her identity to the public. It was only then that the public knew that Lyra was not the only daughter of the

Madden family. It turned out that the eldest daughter had been stolen away when she was a child.

However, the person that people talked about now had become the Youngest Miss Madden instead.

"Mrs. Madden?” Sydney narrowed her eyes. "What's she here for?"

Sophie shook her head. "I'm not sure, but I guess it might have something to do with Lyra’s affair."

"Is that so? Then just ignore them." Sydney waved.

Sophie looked at her. "You mean you won't be seeing them?" "That’s right.” Sophie pushed up her glasses." Understood. I'll have someone ask them to leave."

Then, she turned around and walked toward the door.

However, just as she reached the door, someone pushed it from the outside before she could open it.

Mrs. Madden came in with Clarice, followed by the receptionist behind them.

The receptionist saw Sophie and smiled bitterly. "Sophie, I didn't mean to let them up, but they insisted and even threatened me, saying that they would kill themselves if I told security to chase them out..."

Sophie looked at the Madden mother and daughter, and rubbed her aching temples. Then, she turned around and looked at Sydney inside. "President Raines..." Sydney naturally heard what the receptionist said. She glanced at Mrs. Madden coldly and pursed her red lips. "I'll handle it. You and Mandy can return to your posts and continue working."

"Understood," Sophie answered.

Mandy, the receptionist, also breathed a large sigh of relief.

It seemed like Sydney did not blame her for not stopping the two women.

After they left, only Sydney and the Madden mother and daughter were left in the office.

Sydney leaned back in her chair and raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Madden and Clarice, who were walking over.

Although Sydney was young, she had been in a high-ranking position for several months and possessed the aura to match it.

Thus, when she looked at Mrs. Madden like that, Mrs. Madden felt somewhat pressured.

After all, Mrs. Madden had been a wealthy housewife for decades and only knew how to spend money to indulge herself. She did look imposing at all.

Moreover, because of Trison Corporation and Lyra's matters, her presence diminished further.

Mrs. Madden felt the pressure Sydney was exerting on her despite being so young. Although she was dissatisfied, she had to hold back when she thought of her purpose in coming here.

She wiped the reddish corners of her eyes and took a deep breath. Calming her inner emotions, she forced a smile at Sydney and greeted, "Ms. Raines..."

"Have a seat." Sydney pointed to the chair across her.

Mrs. Madden looked at the chair and pulled it out to sit down.

Sydney did not look at Mrs. Madden but set her eyes on Clarice beside her. She curled her red lips and pretended to ask curiously, "Mrs. Madden, is this your eldest daughter you recently found?"

"Yes, she's my eldest daughter, Clarice." Mrs. Madden held Clarice's hand, patting it intimately. Her face was full of affection. It was obvious that she truly loved Clarice.

Sydney knew that the more Mrs. Madden liked Clarice, the better it would be for Hunter and her to follow up with their plan.

However, she felt vaguely uncomfortable when she saw Mrs. Madden spoil Clarice. She even found it an eyesore.

She thought, I must be insane!"

Sydney shook her head slightly, suppressing this inexplicable emotion in her heart, and smiled faintly. "Hello, Ms. Madden."

"Hello, Ms. Raines." Clarice also pretended not to know Sydney. After giving a timid reply, she hid behind Mrs. Madden, acting very shy.

Sydney knew how she was and did not find anything strange in her behavior. She hummed and turned her gaze back to Mrs. Madden. "What can I do for you, Mrs. Madden?"

Mrs. Madden smiled sheepishly. "Well, I'm here for Lyra."

Sydney's eyes flashed.

So, it was true!

She looked at Mrs. Madden, who changed her attitude to Sydney one hundred and eighty degrees, and asked with a smile that did not reach her eyes. "Hm? For Second Miss Madden?"

Yes, ever since the Madden family announced that there was an "Eldest" Miss Madden, Lyra became the "Second” Miss.

"Yes." Mrs. Madden sighed as her eyes reddened again.

Sydney guessed where Lyra's red-eye problem came from every time she pretended to be innocent. She learned it from her mother.

"Ms. Raines." Mrs. Madden clasped her hands and stared at Sydney. "Ms. Raines, I know that Lyra shouldn't have framed you, but... but she only did it on impulse. Can you...?" "You want to ask me if I can let her off the hook, right?" Sydney interrupted her with a vague smile.

Mrs. Madden saw the mockery on Sydney's face and felt uncomfortable, but she could only endure it for Lyra's sake. She nodded repeatedly. "Yes, Ms. Raines. I'm here today because of that. As long as you're willing to let Lyra go. I'll... I'll give you 5 million!"

She held up one hand. "What do you think?"

The smile on Sydney's face did not change. She remained silent.

On the contrary, Clarice bit her lower lip behind Mrs. Madden, feeling unhappy.

5 million!

'5 million is a huge amount of money, but Mom is willing to fork out that much just to save Lyra. It's clear that even if Lyra isn't as important in Mom's heart as she was before, Mom still doesn't want to give her up.

'It seems like I have to work harder to weaken Mom's affection for Lyra so that I can successfully drive her away.'

Seeing Sydney remain silent, Mrs. Madden was a little annoyed in her heart, thinking that Sydney found the amount too little.

Thus, she gritted her teeth and held up her other hand. "I'll add another 5 million. I'll give you 10 million total. What do you think?"

"You're very generous, Mrs. Madden. However, can you fork out 10 million?"

Sydney leaned her head on her palm and said mockingly, "I heard that when

President Flint broke off the engagement with the Madden family, he also broke off all cooperation with Trison Corporation. Everyone in the outside world knows about that, and there were some companies who followed suit and broke off their partnerships with Trison. Trison Corporation even dropped from the top ten enterprises in Port City to the bottom twenty, and your funds were severely reduced. Furthermore, Lyra’s arrest last night caused another backlash to the company and resulted in serious losses."

"What are you trying to say?" Mrs. Madden's expression changed. Her heart felt uneasy.
