Brandon knew that this matter must have been related to Sydney.
Twenty years ago, Harry Raines killed his eldest daughter. Now, Harry's daughter destroyed his second daughter and ruined all the opportunities to make a marriage alliance with the Flint family.
He swore to destroy the entire Raines family.
When Lyra heard Brandon's promise, she smiled.
She then thought of something and asked," Mom, how did you find me?"
Those six men humiliated and violated her in the worst possible ways and she passed out in the end. She had no idea what happened after that.
"We didn't find you. Someone found you in the complex," Mrs. Madden shook her head when she answered.
Lyra’s pupils constricted and she became uneasy. "Complex?"
Mrs. Madden’s eyes were red as she nodded. "That night, you were put into a gunny sack naked and thrown onto the complex. A passerby found you by chance and called the police."
"Police?" When Lyra heard that, she almost passed out again.
Her nails bit into her palm, and she used so much force that it was now bleeding.
However, she could not feel any pain. She became more agitated as she said, "You mean, everyone in town found out that
Lyra Madden had been violated?'
Although Mrs. Madden wanted to tell her a white lie and cover it up, she knew that she would not be able to hide this for long.
Once Lyra logged on to the Internet, she would find out the truth.
"Yes." Mrs. Madden painfully nodded.
Brandon patted his wife’s shoulder as a sign of comfort.
"How did it come to this...?'' Lyra felt dizzy, as though her world was crashing down.
Everyone knew that she got violated.
She could already imagine how the netizens were talking and discussing about her, how the other socialites in her social circle would laugh behind her back, and how the media would use her to gain viewer ratings.
"How about Julien? Does Julien know about this?” Lyra asked with her eyes red.
Mrs. Madden turned her head away.
When Lyra saw her reaction, her heart sank. "Julien... found out..."
Brandon slammed on the table angrily. "He found out and annulled the engagement!"
"..." Lyra was silent. She stared at the ceiling and she seemed as though she had lost her soul.
After a few seconds, she suddenly started laughing. She laughed like a madwoman, and there were tears in her eyes.
Mrs. Madden's heart was aching when she looked at Lyra. "Lyra..."
"It's okay. She must be feeling horrible and she's just finding an outlet to release it. Let her be." Brandon stopped Mrs. Madden from stepping forward.
Mrs. Madden had no choice and nodded.
Just then, Brandon's assistant knocked on the door.
"President Madden, the girl with the daughter necklace is found!" the assistant said in a hurry.
Brandon and his wife's expressions hardened instantly.
Even Lyra stopped laughing and crying. She choked on her own saliva and started coughing violently.
However, Brandon and Mrs. Madden did not care. They were just staring at the assistant.
"What did you just say? You found Clarice?" Mrs. Madden's hand was trembling.
