My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit novel Chapter 227

Lyra’s heart dropped. She did not know why Old Madam Flint would ask her that. She forced a smile and answered, "Yes..."

Old Madam Flint gave her a meaningful smile. "This is weird. Julien told me that you both used to be pen pals, and know everything about each other. Yet you're telling me now that you don’t know what flowers he likes. Are you really his pen pal?"

Lyra's heart tightened and she quickly lowered her gaze to cover the guilt and anxiety. She forced herself to calm down and said, "Of course, I am. I was unconscious for six years and I forgot a lot of things. Julien knows about this as well."

She kicked the ball to Julien, indicating that Julien did not mind even if she forgot these things.

This way, even if Old Madam Flint was suspicious of her, she would not be insistent on this matter.

"Really?" Old Madam Flint raised her eyebrow, and it was uncertain if she believed Lyra's words.

Just then, someone pushed open the door violently.

Velma stormed into the room while cursing.

Old Madam Flint's expression darkened. She scolded," Why are you so loud when you're in the hospital?"

Velma finally noticed Old Madam Flint and quickly adjusted her expression. She forced a smile and said," Mother, I'm sorry.”

Old Madam Flint sneered. "You married into our family for more than ten years, and you’re still as uncivilized as ever."

Even though Velma was unconvinced, she dared not argue.

Lyra smiled at her and said, "Aunt."

Velma suddenly smiled. "Lyra, you're here!"

"Of course. Since something happened to Julien, I have to be here as his fiancee. My parents wanted to come as well, but they are too busy," Lyra touched her hair and said gently.

Velma walked over to Lyra and sat down. She placed her hand around Lyra's and patted it gently, finding Lyra incredibly pleasant to the eye. "You’re such a kind child. Julien is really lucky to have you."

"Aunt..." Lyra's face turned slightly red and lowered her head in embarrassment.

Old Madam Flint gave them a cold sneer. "Lucky? I don't think so. Just don't ruin our family.”

Lyra’s expression froze. Her embarrassment was completely replaced by hatred.

All the old lady could do was pick on her.

Velma was also unhappy. "Mother, Julien chose Lyra to be his fiancee. What you said isn't very nice."

"Nice? I'm just speaking the truth. What happened at the Leighs’ banquet yesterday was already made public. Everyone knows that your future daughter-in-law isn't a simple character. Just wait until she gets married to Julien, and you'll see how she bullies you," Old Madam Flint said with a mocking tone.

"Mother, you're too much. Lyra will never treat me that way. Isn't that right, Lyra?" Velma looked at Lyra with a dubious gaze.

Lyra quickly nodded. “Don’t worry, Aunt. I'll treat you well since you’re Julien's mother."

"Mother, listen to that." When Velma heard that, she pushed all the doubts to the back of her head and smiled at Old Madam Flint delightfully.

Old Madam Flint silently scolded Velma in her heart. What a fool. Old Madam Flint gave up as she really could not be bothered anymore.

"Aunt, what happened to your clothes? Why are they crumpled and wet?" Lyra touched Velma's sleeves and asked.

Velma's expression changed instantly. She raised her voice and said, "It was all because of that whore Sydney! She threw water at my face if it wasn't for..."

"You went and looked for Syd?" Old Madam Flint slammed her hand against the table and interrupted Velma.

Velma quickly looked away. "I..."

"Why are you hesitating? Tell me now. Did you look for Sydney?" Old Madam FLint had a gloomy expression on her face.

Velma decided to be honest. "So what if I went to look for her? Julien's accident happened because of her."

Lyra tightened her fists.

What?

Sydney caused Julien's accident?
