After putting down the phone, Sydney opened her social media platform with her computer and typed: [Thank you all for waiting. A hacker contacted me during the day and said that they would help me release the evidence they found tonight. The evidence will be released immediately. Please stay tuned!]
After checking for typos and confirming that there was nothing wrong, Sydney clicked on publish and posted the statement.
She originally planned to release these two videos herself, but then dismissed them. Since Finn would be uploading them, it was unnecessary for her to upload them as well.
However, she could make a statement on why she said she was so sure that she would get evidence by tonight, explaining that a hacker had contacted her very early on.
This way, both the police and others would treat Finn's throwaway account as Layden's, and would not find out that it was Finn that was behind it. Even if they found that the IP address belonged to Finn, they would think that the hacker used his address as a zombie computer. Thus, Finn would be safe.
As soon as Sydney posted the statement, the people who were waiting saw it immediately.
They instantly became lively.
[It’s here, it’s here. The evidence is coming ]
[I thought she was just all talk, but it seems like she was serious.]
[Duh, of course she's serious. She has a great hacker behind her, so she naturally won't be blowing hot air. I'm so envious. I also want a great hacker to help me in the dark so that I won't be bullied.]
[Do you think that hacker has a crush on her? He made his move during the day and knocked down a group of keyboard warriors, and he also unveiled a lot of vermin. Now, Sydney is the woman that the Internet can’t provoke the most.
Otherwise, we'll be completely destroyed by the hacker.]
Sydney did not know whether to laugh or cry when she saw these comments.
The woman that could not be provoked the most?
What was that about? It was even funnier
about the question asking if Cayden had a crush on her.
However, this was fine. In the future, those netizens would have to think twice before talking about her.
In Flint Mansion, Julien sat in the study and was also looking at Sydney's post.
After frowning slightly, he picked up the phone and made a call.
When Sydney saw that it was him, she remembered his help during the day, so she did not decline the call. She brought the phone to her ear. "President Flint."
"Is it reliable?" Julien asked.
Sydney narrowed her eyes. "What are you talking about?"
"The evidence that the fox man will release later," he clarified.
Sydney nodded. "It's reliable. I've seen it myself. There are two videos of Lyra confessing to the crime."
Julien was relieved upon hearing that." That's good."
At that moment, Sydney's phone vibrated again.
She looked at the screen and said to Julien, "President Flint, I need to take another call. I'll hang up now."
Then, she hung up on him without hesitation.
Julien's thin lips pursed into a straight line, and his expression was very unpleasant.
Who on earth was calling her at this hour?
In fact, from the beginning, Lyra already knew that Clarice was just pretending to be weak. She acted pitiful to win her parents' favor.
However, she felt that even if Clarice was just acting, her true character would be nothing much anyway.
Now, Lyra realized that she was wrong. She was completely wrong.
A dark smile emerged on Clarice's waxy face. "You're right. I was just acting. The person you're looking at now is the real me.
Half a month ago, Hunter's men came to the countryside to find Clarice Madden's double. She had been in the plains when she heard Hunter's people talking about it, and she knew that her chance had come.
She grew up in a patriarchal family, never having enough food to eat or enough clothes to stay warm. If she did not finish her work, she would be beaten. She always dreamed of leaving that terrible home, but she had no education, and her personal documents were all controlled by her disgusting parents, so she could not leave.
Thus, she thought of a way. She pretended to be pathetic, cowardly, and pitiful to make herself look easily manipulated.
That, coupled with her eyes, gave her a higher chance of being selected. In the end, she was chosen as per her wishes and came to the Madden family. It was then that she realized how right her decision had been at that time.
She had parents who loved her, endless glory and wealth, and could learn more skills. She got what she had never even dared to dream about before. However, in this seemingly wonderful scenario, there was a not-so-wonderful existence in the form of her younger sister.
This younger sister was bent on driving her away, so she wanted to drive her younger sister away in return!
Just as Clarice was thinking, Lyra suddenly pushed her. "Wow, so you admit it! You admit that you're just faking it. I'm going to tell Mom and Dad and let them see your true face."
"You'll tell Mom and Dad?" Clarice stumbled back a step after being pushed. When she regained her footing, she replied disdainfully, "Go ahead. Let's see if Mom and Dad believe in you or in me. Although I've only been back for a short time, I already know what kind of person you are. You're full of lies. Mom and Dad won't believe in your nonsense at all. They'll only think that you're accusing me, and then dote on me more in return." "You..." Lyra's eyes widened, but she could not say anything.
'Yes, Mom and Dad only care about Clarice now. They think of Clarice as the apple in their eyes. How would they believe me if I say that she was just pretending to act pitiful?’
Lyra’s expression was twisted as she glared at Clarice. "Even if Mom and Dad won't believe what I say, one day, I'll make them see with their own eyes what kind of person you are."
"I'm afraid you won't have that chance.” Clarice shrugged and sneered.
