My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit novel Chapter 255

"I can't. I promised him." The man quickly calmed down, collecting the bewilderment in his heart, and shook his head to refuse.

Julien's anger roared again. He clenched his fists with a low growl. "You can't? That's between you and Lyra. It has nothing to do with me. Since your most important person loves Lyra so much, why don't you hypnotize Lyra instead so that the two of them can love each other? Why should I have to pay for their feelings?!"

The man lowered his eyelids, and a trace of sadness flashed in those emotionless eyes. "It's too late..."

"What does that mean?"

The man did not answer. Instead, he stepped forward, lifted his hand, and snapped his finger at the vigilant Julien and Zach.

Snap!

At that sound, Julien's eyes instantly grew hazy and disoriented. His mind started to go blank as well.

Even Zach in the car behind them began to go dazed.

By the time they returned to normal, the man was no longer there. They did not know when he left.

"President Flint!" Zach hurriedly took an umbrella and got out of the car, running to Julien's side. "What just happened? Who in the world was that man?"

Julien did not respond and simply returned to the car with hazy eyes.

Zach took out a towel from the glovebox and handed it over. "Here, wipe the water on your body."

Julien took the towel, draped it over his head, and said in a hoarse voice, "That man was the one who hypnotized us."

"What?" Zach hit his head on the roof of the car and hissed in pain.

However, he did not care about the pain and clenched the steering wheel, asking, "President Flint, did we really get hypnotized?"

"Yes." Julien covered his face with the towel so that no one could see his expression.

Zach only felt goosebumps all over. "But when did we get hypnotized?"

Under the towel, Julien's lashes quivered.

He also wanted to know the answer to that question.

He had never seen that man before, but he was hypnotized by that man.

It was clear how terrifying that man was.

"President Flint, why were we hypnotized by that man?" Zach asked with shaky breaths.

Julien took the towel off. "Stop asking. Go investigate that man's identity and his interpersonal relationships."

He wanted to know who that man was.

Who was the man who loved Lyra?

"Understood." Zach nodded gravely.

I would've investigated even if President Flint didn't tell me to.

'That person didn't just hypnotize President Flint but me as well! That's unforgivable!'

"Keep driving to the Madden residence," Julien commanded.

Zach hummed and restarted the car.

Soon, they arrived at the Madden residence.

Julien stood at the door and rang the bell.

When the maid opened the door, she saw Julien who was soaked to the skin, and jumped in shock. "Oh, Mr. Flint. What happened to you?"

Julien ignored her and walked past her through the door, leaving puddles of water where he stepped.

When he came to the living room, Mrs. Madden was arranging flowers. She looked up when she heard footsteps and said in surprise, "Julien, why are you here? What happened...?"

"Where's Lyra?" Julien interrupted her directly.

Mrs. Madden noticed his attitude was somewhat off.

He seemed to be very angry, so she asked tentatively," Lyra is in her room. Did you two quarrel again?”
