"Are you free to talk?” Sydney asked.
Clarice looked at Mrs. Madden, who was not far away and lowered her voice to reply, "Please give me a moment, Ms.
Raines. I’ll move somewhere else."
"Sure." Sydney nodded.
Clarice put down her phone and walked out of the living room into the garden before bringing the phone to her ear again. "Okay, Ms. Raines. Please go ahead."
Sydney listened to how graceful and natural Clarice spoke and could not help but be surprised.
It had not been long, but Denna changed considerably.
In the past, Denna had a country accent, and she always spoke in a subservient tone. However, there was no such thing now. There was even a trace of elegance.
It seemed that after arriving at the Madden family, Denna was working very hard to improve herself.
Sydney did not think much about it and said with a serious face, "I need your help with something."
Clarice smiled. "Of course. I work for Mr. Cohen and you. As long as it’s you two asking, I’ll do all I can for you."
"Thank you." Sydney also smiled before getting down to business. "Three months ago, Lyra found a waiter and told him to drug me. I've caught the waiter now, but he doesn't have enough evidence to convict her, so I need Lyra to admit it herself that she ordered the waiter to do that." "You mean, you want me to find a way to pry Lyra's mouth open?" Clarice narrowed her eyes.
Sydney hummed. "Yes. It's best if you get a voice recording. That way, I'll be able to send her to jail."
Hearing those words, Clarice's eyes instantly lit up.
They could send Lyra to jail!
She gripped her phone fiercely, the excitement on her face not hidden at all.
'This is great. I've been thinking of ways to drive Lyra out of the Madden family.
'Unexpectedly, the opportunity came knocking at my door.'
Taking a deep breath, Clarice forced down her inner excitement and quickly responded, "I understand, Ms. Raines. I'll find a way to complete the task."
"Okay, I'm counting on you." Sydney smiled and thanked her.
After the call ended, Clarice put her phone away and clenched her fists. Then, she turned around and went back into the living room.
Mrs. Madden saw her enter and asked, " Clarice, where did you run off to?"
"I was just wandering around in the garden. Is something wrong, Mom?" Clarice walked over and held Mrs. Madden's hand intimately.
Mrs. Madden stroked her head affectionately. "The maid just boiled some bird's nest. I was about to tell you to go drink it, but I couldn’t find you. Since you're back, go drink a bowl. It's nourishing for your skin, so you'll be able to wear a nice dress for the banquet next month.”
"Okay, I'll go now." Clarice let go of Mrs. Madden’s arm and swiftly went to the dining room.
'A banquet, huh? He would be there too, right?
'I haven’t seen him again ever since I came to the Madden family.'
In the dining room, Clarice pulled out a chair and sat down. The maid came over with two servings of bird's nest and brought one of them to her.
Clarice looked at the other serving on the tray and asked, "Is this for Mom?"
"No, it's for the Second Miss." The maid shook her head.
Clarice was instantly in a bad mood.
Lyra had harmed the family so much, but she still had the nerve to drink bird's nest.
However, Clarice could not stop this. It must be Mrs. Madden who wanted to let Lyra drink it.
"Okay, you can send it to Lyra." Clarice put away the discomfort in her heart and quickly smiled again.
The maid nodded and picked up the tray to go upstairs.
Suddenly, Lyra thought of something and reached out. "Wait!"
