My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit novel Chapter 228

"No. I'm talking about someone else's. I don't know what's going on today, but there are suddenly a lot of scandals within the industry," Layden replied.

Sydney was stunned. "Scandals?"

"Yes. President Wilson from the Hallmark Corporation has an illegitimate son with his lover. President Lawrence from the Toppen Corporation was detained for tax evasion, and President Corlton from the Cannes Corporation was found to be abusive toward his wife and children. The scandals of these big bosses from large corporations are all over the Internet, and it has become a mess," Layden said in a mocking tone.

Sydney widened her eyes in surprise. "Did they step on someone’s foot? And that person happened to be someone prominent so he exposed their evil deeds? However, it seems impossible for all of them to offend a single person at once."

"Who knows? Maybe someone could no longer stand them and did this." Layden smiled.

Sydney nodded. "You're right. Stephen Dayton is lucky that he doesn’t have any scandal like that, or he might appear on the Internet as well. It’s fine if he ruins his reputation, but he might drag Skylight Corporation down with him."

"Don't worry, this will never happen to Skylight Corporation." Cayden rubbed his mug.

Sydney smiled and said, "Nothing is ever absolute, even..."

Before she could finish her sentence, her phone rang.

Sydney gave Cayden an apologetic smile and picked up the phone. She glanced at the caller ID and found that it was a new number.

"Hello? Who’s on the line?" Sydney answered the call and said.

On the other side of the call, Finn was silent for two seconds before replying, "You didn't save my number?"

Sydney blinked. "Finn James?”

"That's me."

"Sydney, who is it?" Cayden looked at her.

She gave Cayden a gesture, asking him to hold on. She continued, "What's the matter?"

"Lyra Madden called me and said she wants to see me. It must be something related to you." Finn put his phone between his ear and his shoulder. Both his hands were occupied with the animal corpse on the operating table.

Sydney narrowed her eyes. "Why would you say that?"

"Because she doesn't look for me, unless she wants to do something to you," Finn replied lightly.

Sydney pursed her lips. "Do you mean to say that you have done that before?"

Finn paused. "Yes. I'm sorry for that. The one who snatched your handbag on the motorbike was me."

"It was you!" Sydney's expression darkened and she stood up in anger.

Cayden quickly stood up as well. "Sydney, what's wrong?"

"I’m fine." Sydney rubbed her eyebrows.

She continued asking, "Where's my bag now?"

"I already threw it into the septic tank," Finn said in an apologetic tone.

He did not know that she was his angel back then.

Right after he snatched her bag, he quickly helped Lyra damage the bag and the evidence in it.

"Finn, I’ll remember this!” Sydney felt her chest tightening in anger. She took a few deep breaths before finally calming down a little. "Fine. What do you want from me today?"

"I just told you. Lyra is looking for me, and I think she's planning something against you. I think you should come over too." The animal corpse that he was working on was done. He put down the scalpel, took off his gloves, and went to the sink to wash his hands.

Sydney tightened her phone in alarm. "Who knows if you're purposely luring me over? You might still be working with Lyra Maddens. I didn't forget that you're close to Lyra. So why should I trust you?"

"I'm close to Lyra because I thought she was you. Once I found out that she wasn't, I naturally cut off ties with her. Moreover, I can’t believe that she lied to me. If you don’t trust me, you can bring people over,” Finn said as he washed his hands.

Sydney was silent.

After a short moment, she made a decision. She bit her lip and said, "Send me your address."

Since he said that she could bring someone, then she would. If it was a trap, she could at least find help and escape.
