"I think his name was Cayden Lowe. That annoying jerk Luke Chase was also beside her."
"What? How dare she have an affair!" Velma's face turned dark with anger, and she cursed sharply. "She's shameless! Where is she now? I'll rip her apart!"
"Sydney said she already divorced Julien." Seeing the terrifying gloom on his brother's face, Jay asked again, “Is what she said true?"
Julien kept his lips pursed, his face sullen, and remained silent. It was clearly a tacit agreement.
Having thought of something, Velma froze for a while before she smiled. "It's great that you guys are divorced! At least she's sensible! I’ll only acknowledge Lyra as my daughter-in-law. Sydney is worth nothing!"
For some reason, Velma's curses sounded extremely harsh to Julien. "That's enough."
He picked up his coat and left the house.
Jayden stared at his elder brother's back. "Mom, is Sydney never coming back?"
Velma snorted. "I dare her! Even if she wants a divorce, she won't get a penny from my son!"
Jayden fell silent and lowered his head. No one knew what he was thinking.
Suddenly, he noticed a gaze staring at him from the side and looked over.
Lyra was standing quietly in front of the railing. How long had she been standing there?
When she saw his surprised gaze, she smiled softly and spoke in an extraordinarily gentle voice. "Jay."
Jay heard from his mother that Lyra was the only daughter of a business tycoon and was very beneficial to his brother’s career. Meanwhile, Sydney was just a little orphan who only knew how to spend his brother's money.
At that moment, he came up with a brilliant idea.
Jayden revealed a friendly smile to Lyra. "Lyra."
The next day, Sydney got up early in the morning to dress up.
She took a tight black dress out of the closet and put it on. She had worn it once to show Julien, but he said it was ugly, and she never wore it again after that.
Now, not only was she wearing it, but she also put on a layer of delicate makeup, matched with scarlet lipstick. She exuded a strong and confident presence.
