Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 717

It was May 3rd!

Mrs. Madden hurriedly looked at Brandon and asked in a trembling voice, "Darling, did you see it? That's the day when Sydney was adopted. Have you seen it?"

"Yes." Wearing a gloomy expression, Brandon nodded. His hands on the railing of the hospital bed were shaking slightly because of his excessive exertion.

Mrs. Madden covered her mouth, and her eyes had turned red with tears. "Why is it May 3rd?"

She didn’t understand why Sydney wasn't the biological daughter of Harry and Leanna.

What confused her more was the adoption date of Sydney.

May was the month she would never forget, for it had brought her endless pain.

May 1st was the day when her daughter was stolen by Harry and thrown into the river!

And Sydney was adopted by Harry two days after that incident.

Was it possible that…

"Darling, do you think Sydney might be our daughter?" Mrs. Madden grabbed Brandon's hand and asked eagerly.

Brandon frowned deeply. "Don’t be silly. How can Sydney be Clarice?”

"But Sydney is not Harry's biological daughter, and her adoption date just happened to be May 3rd, so Sydney may be Clarice." Mrs. Madden got more agitated.

Brandon patted her hand softly. "This is impossible."

"How can this be impossible?" Mrs. Madden shook off his hand and stared at the TV with red, swollen eyes. "This date is a piece of strong proof. You were also shocked when seeing the date, right? It shows that you also suspect that Sydney may be Clarice.”

Brandon was instantly lost for words.

Indeed, as Mrs. Madden had said, when he saw that date, his first thought was that Sydney might be Clarice.

On the one hand, Sydney was born in the same year as Clarice.

On the other hand, Clarice was stolen by Harry, and he adopted a baby girl two days after throwing Clarice into the river. This made him suspect that Harry didn't abandon their child at all, but secretly raised her.

However, this possibility was too low.

After all, Clarice was their daughter, which made her an enemy of Harry.

It was impossible for Harry to raise the daughter of his sworn enemy so carefully.

Therefore, Sydney was not Clarice.

Thinking of this, Brandon sighed. "Please calm down first. If Sydney is Clarice, who is the girl living with us now? We have done a paternity test with Clarice, and she is proven to be our biological daughter, so Sydney is not Clarice. She just happened to be adopted by Harry about the same time as Clarice was thrown into the river.”

"I know, but I just think the whole thing is odd." Mrs. Madden sat in the hospital bed, covering her face and crying, "Brandon, I have never told you that I don't have too much maternal love for Clarice."

"What do you mean?" Brandon looked at her.

Mrs. Madden bit her lower lip and said, "I don't know. I just think that I can't get close to Clarice. I know that she is my daughter, and I should love her wholeheartedly so that she can feel she is the happiest child in the world. But I can't do that. My usual kindness and affection for Clarice are all pretended. In fact, I am reluctant to have too much contact with her. I..."

"Clarice!" Before Mrs. Madden finished her words, Brandon suddenly shouted.

Mrs. Madden's heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look at Brandon, but Brandon just stared at the door with an extremely embarrassed expression.

When she saw this, Mrs. Madden’s expression changed drastically. She immediately turned to look at the door, and when she saw Clarice standing there with red eyes and a distressed expression, her face turned pale.

If he didn't know where Sydney was adopted, he couldn’t calm down.

At the press conference.

Sydney's adoption document had been seen by all reporters and the audience in the live broadcast room.

Sean collected the copy of the adoption document and put it in front of Sydney and Julien.

Sydney picked up the microphone and asked the reporters with a smile, "Does anyone still question the authenticity of my adoption document?"

"Of course not." They shook their heads in unison.

The only person who had questioned it would soon be taken away by the police.

Therefore, they dared not have any objection at all.

"Since no one questions it, then there is no problem with my identity." Sydney put her hand on the folder of adoption document. "I was not born of my mother's infidelity, but adopted by my foster parents through proper channels. That is to say, although I have no blood relationship with my foster parents, I am legally their daughter, and I should be able to inherit the property of the Raines family. In that case, it is untenable for Madeline to say that I stole everything from the Raines family as an illegitimate daughter."

"Ms. Raines, you are right." The reporters nodded again.

Sydney continued, "Madeline said that I robbed all the shares of the Skylight Corporation. In fact, I don't need to explain this, because any shareholder of our company can tell you that it's not the truth. My father had mortgaged most of the shares before he died, and my grandfather later bought the shares back and gave them to me. Since those shares have been handled twice, are they still the original shares of the Raines family?”

"Of course not." A reporter immediately replied loudly, "Since the former chairman has mortgaged the shares, the Raines family has long lost its shares of the Skylight Corporation. The shares you own now were bought back by your grandfather, so it has nothing to do with the Raines family. Since that’s the case, all those shares belong to you, and Madeline has no right to inherit the property.”

"That's right." Other reporters also agreed.

Sydney glanced at Madeline, whose face had become paler. "Now that everyone knows that I didn't rob the shares, are you curious about why Madeline protested online that I robbed the shares from her father?"

"Yeah, that’s strange." The reporters were stunned for a few seconds, and then they all turned to look at Madeline and started questioning her again.
