Sydney halted her footsteps. "Anything else, President Madden?”
Layden also turned around and looked at Brandon.
Brandon took two steps forward and his eyes were dark as he looked at Sydney. " Did you plan Lyra's incident?"
He initially thought that what happened to Lyra was just a coincidence.
When he calmed down and gave things some thought, he realized that there must be something more than that behind the entire incident.
If what happened to Lyra was purely incidental, then those who did that to her would not throw Lyra into a busy complex.
Simply because they might get caught.
However, the perpetrators who violated Lyra threw her into a busy complex so that she would gain public attention. This was to ruin Lyra's reputation and it must have been planned from the beginning.
The one who did it was most likely Sydney.
She and Lyra never got along and even hated each other.
When Sydney heard Brandon's questioning, she was so mad that she laughed. "You put the blame on me because you can't find who did it?"
Layden said nothing and lowered his gaze.
Brandon sneered. "I didn't blindly blame you. My gut instincts are telling me that you did it."
Something flashed across Sydney's eyes.
Brandon was right. This had something to do with her.
Even though it was Finn who planned and did it, he did it because of her.
However, it did not matter. Sydney just had to deny it.
As she thought about that, she smiled and said, "Wow, you put the blame on me just because of your gut instincts. No wonder Trison Corporation is already seeing its downfall. I heard President Flint withdrew from all the cooperation projects with you. Congratulations, President Madden."
"You..." Brandon’s eyes widened in anger. After a moment, he sneered. "What an eloquent girl!"
Sydney was mocking him for managing Trison Corporation using his gut instincts instead of real managing capabilities.
She was also making fun of him for offending Julien Flint with the assumption that Julien would not cease all cooperation with his company.
Sydney was harder to deal with than he had imagined.
Brandon looked at Sydney with a gloomy expression.
Sydney was not at all afraid. She smiled as she looked into his eyes. "Thank you for the high praise. President Madden. I don’t think being eloquent is wrong. At least when I meet someone I don’t like, I won't lose out. What do you think?"
The corner's of Brandon's mouth twitched as he could tell she was talking about him.
He could not even make a scene or he might prove Sydney right.
When Brandon thought about that, he took a few deep breaths and suppressed his anger. He forced a smile and said, "You’re right."
Cayden burst out in laughter.
Brandon glared at him instantly as though he wanted to kill Cayden with his eyes.
Cayden felt the gaze and quickly controlled his laughter. He stared back at Brandon instead.
When Brandon saw Cayden's pitch black pupils, he felt like he was looking into a wild wolf’s eyes. He suddenly shuddered.
What was going on?
Why would a young model like him have such a frightful stare?
That gaze was also familiar, as though he had seen it before.
Brandon tried hard to recall but found nothing in the end.
Sydney looked at the time and said, "Cay, let's go."
A smile appeared on Cayden’s face once more as he nodded gently.
Both of them went into the police station.
