The next day, Julien sat at his desk, which had a divorce certificate on it.He looked at it for a while and threw it into the trash can.At that moment, Zach came forward and said respectfully, “Sir, Chairman Madden from Trison Corporation is on the line.Lyra’s father?Julien composed himself and picked up the landline. “Uncle Brandon.”The other party was a middle-aged man with a hoarse voice. “Julien, has Lyra been behaving at your place the last few days? I haven’t had time to visit her recently, and it’s always my wife who goes over to relieve her boredom. I’m afraid she’ll complain.”Julien’s voice was calm. “Don’t worry, Uncle. Lyra is recovering well these days. My mother often accompanies her.”“Oh, that’s good.” Brandon probed, “I heard some rumors that Lyra’s car accident six years ago had something to do with your ex-wife. Lyra’s mother went to see her yesterday and asked a few questions, but Lyra kept avoiding the topic. Julien, do you know what happened?”The man

In the office, Julien tapped his index finger on the desktop rhythmically.He seemed to be waiting for something.After another five minutes or so, Zach came back. “Sir, although there were some setbacks, I found it.”The man slowly raised his eyes. “What setback?”“The surveillance on that street has been overwritten long ago, and it’s not easy to find since it’s video footage from six years ago. Then, a computer repairman told me that he had a copy. He said that the car accident six years ago was a huge case, so he saved it. He came to me when he found out that I was looking for the video.”After Zack finished speaking, he looked at Julien carefully. “Ms. Madden’s car in the video was indeed hit by another blue car. Do you want to see it?”Back then, Sydney was driving a blue Audi.“No need.” Julien’s face was indifferent as he instructed, “Give it to me and make arrangements for that person. We don’t want him to go out and talk nonsense.”“Understood.”Zach had been with Ju

Lyra could not keep the smile on her face anymore. She lowered her head as her tears began to fall.Julien frowned and expressed his dissatisfaction with his grandmother’s behavior. “Lyra was being kind and mindful of your health. She’s the woman that your grandson likes. Even if you’re angry with me, you can take it out on me.”The Old Madam remained silent with an indifferent expression.Julien took Lyra’s hand and stood up, but his words were addressed to the Old Madam. “It’s getting late. Have a good rest, Grandma. We won’t bother you anymore.”The two of them were only there for less than ten minutes before they left.Felicia walked up to the Old Madam and sighed. “Why do you have to do that, Madam? Why do you have to be angry with Julien all for the sake of an outsider?”The Old Madam stroked the emerald bracelet on her wrist. “That Madden girl is just an outsider, yet Julien is going against me for her.”Felicia tucked her in. “Of course not. Julien respects you the most.

Everyone looked as if they were watching a show, but Sydney ignored them.She gave a vague smile and glanced at Julien, who was kneeling on one knee. Then, she turned to Mrs. Madden and said languidly, “First of all, I’m very sorry that I came uninvited. Second, who can be sure that the video on the trending topics is real? To say you want to settle the account six years ago, I feel really wronged.”Finally, her eyes fell on Lyra.Lyra went pale and quickly hid behind Julien.When the crowd saw that scene, they all criticized Sydney.“This woman has a lot of nerve. She was the one who hit Ms. Madden six years ago, and yet she still has the guts to come to the banquet?”“Yeah, look at how scared Ms. Madden is. It’s too much.”Seeing how frightened her daughter was, Mrs. Madden was not in the mood to fool around with Sydney. “What a sharp-tongued girl. Since you say you’ve been wronged, why don’t you go and explain it to the police?”She was just about to make a call when Julien

“Ms. Raines, don’t go too far.” Lyra was exasperated, but she had to endure it. “My father has apologized to you about the video. Why can’t you just drop it? Now you want to take the necklace my boyfriend is proposing to me with?”Sydney raised her brows and laughed. “It’s only been a few days since I divorced Mr. Flint, and you’re already with him. If I didn’t know, I might think that you’ve always coveted him and can’t wait to be Mrs. Flint!”“What are you talking about? You clearly–”“Also, Ms. Madden, I don’t plan to take anything.” Sydney interrupted Lyra again before she could say a few words. “It is you who insisted on giving me a thank-you gift. I just took a fancy to this Azure Heart.”Choked speechless, Lyra bit her lip and stood there, her face growing paler and paler. She looked like a withering small, white flower.Luke was particularly satisfied at the scene and almost applauded Sydney.“Say something, Mr. Flint. Don’t just keep silent.” Luke shouted at Julien, “Is
