Lyra’s eyes widened slightly in disbelief.
He admitted it.
He was pursuing Sydney?
Besides Lyra, Macy and Kate were equally shocked.
Macy looked at Hunter like he was a fool.
They were both from powerful and noble families, but Hunter set his eyes on a divorced woman. Macy disdained Hunter in her heart.
This was simply a disgrace to the sons of noble families like theirs!
"Mr. Chase, isn't it inappropriate for you to do that? Ms. Raines is..." Lyra looked at Sydney and bit her lip as if she could not speak her words out of embarrassment.
Sydney laughed in anger. "Finish your sentence, Ms. Madden. What's wrong with me? If you trail off like that, it'll seem as if I did something unseemly. Is that what you want to tell Hunter?"
Lyra's heart panicked. She did not expect Sydney to voice her motive directly and was caught off guard.
She hurriedly shook her head to explain. "No, that's not what I mean. I just wanted to say that Ms. Raines is Julien's ex-wife, and Mr. Cohen is Julien's friend.
Isn’t it inappropriate for you to pursue Ms. Raines?" "Not really, I think it's quite good." Hunter grinned." Although Sydney is Julien’s ex-wife, they have nothing to do with each other now. There's nothing wrong with me pursuing her."
"But..." Lyra still wanted to say something.
Sydney interrupted her. "Is Ms. Madden so unhappy at my popularity?"
"No, I'm not..."
"If you’re not, then why are you stopping Hunter from pursuing me? You think a friend's ex-wife is untouchable, but I used to be college mates with you. Isn't it inappropriate for you to go after my ex-husband as well?" Sydney looked at her with a vague smile.
Lyra's face went from red to white, and she could no longer speak.
What could she say?
No matter what she said, the person put in an awkward situation would be her.
"It seems Ms. Madden has nothing more to say. Let's go," Sydney said to Hunter.
Hunter looked at Lyra with a vague smile and nodded in response.
Lyra was just acting like a pure and innocent woman. Only someone blind like Julien could not tell and
thought that she was kind and simple.
Hunter wondered where Julien found such thick rose-tinted glasses.
The two were just about to walk forward when Macy suddenly called out to them, "Wait."
Sydney narrowed her eyes. "Do you need anything else, Ms. Graham?"
Lyra and Kate also looked at Macy.
Macy crossed her arms and spoke with an arrogant expression, "Isn't Ms. Raines going to apologize to Lyra?"
"Apologize for what?" Sydney looked straight at her.
Macy snorted coldly. "You told your suitor to kidnap Lyra and caused her to be sent to the hospital. Shouldn't you apologize for that?"
"What? You told someone to kidnap her?" Hunter's voice raised in shock.
Sydney rolled her eyes at him. "Do you think that’s possible?"
"Absolutely!" Hunter nodded seriously.
The corners of Sydney's mouth twitched slightly. "Get lost!"
Hunter shrugged and stopped talking.
Then, Sydney finally redirected her gaze to Lyra and Macy. "Who said that I told someone to kidnap her?"
"Lyra said she personally heard the kidnapper reveal that it was you who instructed them," Macy answered.
Sydney laughed. "So, Ms. Graham believed it and stepped in to seek justice for Ms. Madden. You made several major banks cut off Skylight's loans?"
She initially thought that Macy did it because of the card game incident last time.
However, when she saw Macy walking beside Lyra earlier, she rejected this objective and figured that Macy’s actions might be related to Lyra's kidnapping. Now, she was completely sure after hearing Macy mention it herself.
The moment Macy heard her ringtone, she felt an inexplicable uneasiness.
Taking out her phone, her heart thumped when she saw the caller ID on the screen.
"What's wrong, Mom?"
"Macy, where are you now? Are you still in Port City?" A woman's anxious voice came from the phone.
The uneasiness in Macy’s heart grew thicker. "Yeah. What’s wrong?”
"What's wrong? You're still asking me what's wrong?" The woman burst into tears. Her crying voice was tinged with angry accusations. "You brought disaster upon us. We received a report that a child from our family intervened in the government affairs of other cities. Your father has been taken away by the Internal Control Institute, and your eldest uncle and the others have been suspended for a thorough investigation."
"What?” Macy's face changed greatly as her hand and feet went cold. Sydney's words earlier instantly rang out in her mind, and her body shivered.
It was true!
Something happened to the Graham family!
"Macy Graham, if the Graham family collapses, don’t blame us for disowning you as a daughter." The woman finished speaking and cut the call.
Macy held her phone up with a dumbfounded expression, her mind completely blank.
Lyra and Kate looked at each other.
With concern on her face, Lyra asked in a soft voice," Ms. Graham, what's wrong?"
Macy snapped back to her senses at Lyra's voice. She remembered that this was happening to the Graham family because she helped Lyra teach Sydney a lesson.
In an instant, Macy put all the blame on Lyra and said with a fierce face, "Lyra Madden, you better pray nothing happens to the Graham family, or I'll never let you off!"
After saying those words, Macy knocked Lyra away and quickly left the hospital.
She had to return to South Lake immediately and apologize to Grandpa.
Otherwise, she would be finished.
"Lyra, what should we do? Ms. Raines was right. Ms. Graham’s family is in trouble," Kate was shocked by the development of things and hurriedly asked Lyra.
Lyra rubbed her shoulder that hurt from the impact and bit her lip. She lowered her head, covering the uneasiness and panic in her eyes, and did not respond.
