My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit novel Chapter 522

Sydney remained silent and turned away.

She knew Brandon wasn't acting because she made up that excuse herself.

She had to convince herself that she didn't help him out of concern, but rather because she didn't want him to cause her trouble and claimed that she made him fall.

After all, Brandon and his wife were capable of doing so.

Brandon didn't argue with Sydney because she wasn't saying anything, and he was in pain. Then he instructed Mrs. Madden to take him to the doctor right away for pain medication.

Mrs. Madden wanted to teach Sydney a lesson and vent her rage, but she was aware of the status quo.

Then, she only gave Sydney a sidelong glance before dragging Brandon away.

Because Brandon was the family's rock, if he fell, a weak woman like her would lose the entire family fortune to the company’s shady shareholders.

Mrs. Madden helped Brandon out of here, but she was so rushed that she didn’t notice Clarice staying behind.

Clarice was standing in front of Sydney. "I never imagined Lyra would jump from the building, Ms. Raines."

"Indeed. "Sydney nodded. She tried to read Clarice's mind by looking at her face. "You seem to be happy."

Clarice smiled with her lips covered, as all the upper-class ladies did.

She must have gotten along well with those socialites during her stay here because she seemed to be more elegant.

Clarice had transformed from the bumpkin she had been when she first arrived in Port City to a confident, well-mannered, and elegant socialite. If she said she had ever lived in the country before, no one would believe her.

"Of course," she admitted as she crossed her arms. "You witnessed my mother's behavior. Lyra may have severed all ties with us, but that does not mean she has been forgotten. My parents will always love her as long as she is alive. After she is released from jail, they may even take her back. I don't have to worry about that now that she's dead, so how could I not be happy about it?"

Hearing her words, Sydney gave her a meaningful smile while squinting at her." Is that correct? Then I apologize for disappointing you."

Actually, Lyra was still alive.

"What do you mean?" When Clarice looked at the smile on Sydney's face, her heart thumped. She somehow had a bad feeling.

Sydney tucked her hair behind her ear. "It's nothing. You'll find out when the time comes."

"What are you doing..." Clarice wanted to ask her what she was hiding, but she frowned and swallowed her words when she saw the people approaching from behind Sydney.

Julien and Zack returned after Julien had finished talking on the phone.

Zack was the first to notice Clarice, and his face darkened. He said to Julien, who was still staring at his phone. "Mr. Flint, Denna is here."

Julien put his phone down and turned to face Sydney when he heard Zack mention that name.
