My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit
Chapter 364 What Happened Twelve Years Ago

Sydney's lips twitched. "Don't you know that I don't have a son?"

Sophie smiled in embarrassment. "Sorry, President Raines. I don't know what I was thinking. Don't be angry."

"I'm not angry. This is the nephew of a friend of mine, Davey." Then, Sydney gently pushed Davey to Sophie. "Davey, this is Ms. Tillman."

"Hi, Ms. Tillman."

"Hello there." Sophie's heart melted.

Davey was too cute.

"Have some candy." Sophie suddenly remembered that she shoved some candy into her pocket when she left home that morning. She hurriedly took them out and handed them to Davey.

Davey did not take them and looked at Sydney instead.

Sydney nodded slightly.

Only then did Davey reach out to take it. "Thank you, Ms. Tillman."

"You're welcome." Sophie's eyes curved in a smile when she saw him take the candy.

Sydney could not help but raise her brows.

This was her first time seeing Sophie smile so heartily.

After all, Sophie's nickname in the office was "the Ancient One".

She dressed in old-fashioned clothes, wore a pair of rustic black-rimmed glasses, and was often expressionless and fierce. That was how the nickname came about.

Sydney could not help but smile when she saw Sophie laugh like this.

Sure enough, no matter how serious a person was, they could not resist something cute.

"By the way, give me today's itinerary, Sophie." Sydney took Davey's hand and walked to the sofa in the office.

Sophie followed her and quickly opened the folder she always brought with her. She took out the itinerary and handed it to Sydney.

Sydney took a look at it. "Cancel the social meeting for this afternoon. The rest will be carried out according to the schedule." "Understood." Sophie nodded.

Sydney returned the itinerary to her." Okay, you can go out and buy some snacks and toys for Davey."

Sophie looked at Davey and readily agreed. "Of course. I'll be back soon."

Sydney hummed.

After Sophie left, Sydney carried Davey to the sofa. "Davey, you can watch TV here. I'll be working over there, okay?" "Okay, you can work, Aunty. I can play by myself," Davey sat on the couch and said cleverly, swinging his little legs. Sydney touched his head. "Good boy. This is the remote control. Call me if you need anything."

Then, she withdrew her hand and turned to walk toward her desk.

As soon as she reached her desk, the phone in her bag rang.

Sydney pulled the chair out to sit down.

Then, she took the phone from her bag and looked at it. Seeing that it was from the police station, she hurriedly answered," Hello?" "Hello, Ms. Raines. This is from the police station."

"Yes," Sydney answered.

The man on the other end of the phone said, "The sentence for Lyra Madden has been determined."

"How many years?" Sydney immediately straightened up and asked when she heard those words.

Although she did not know how it was determined so quickly, it did not matter. What was important was that Lyra was sentenced.

"Three years," the man said, "However..."

Sydney frowned. "However, what?"

She was a little uneasy.

"However, since Lyra's injury hasn't healed, one month of her sentence will be held in the hospital. The police will send people to monitor her 24/7, and she'll be transferred to a women's prison after one month."

"I see." Sydney nodded in realization and sighed with relief.

She thought that something wrong happened again, but Lyra would just be serving one month of her sentence in the hospital. She could accept that.

She already expected this to happen. Lyra was indeed hurt badly, and her injury would not heal that quickly. The police also cared about human rights, so they naturally would not toss Lyra into jail when she was still injured.

"I understand. Thank you." Sydney smiled and thanked the officer.

Then, she put down the phone and let out a long breath.

'Great. The matter with Lyra is finally settled.

'Now, I can focus on dealing with the Madden family.

'As for whether Lyra will take revenge when she comes out three years later, we'll cross that bridge when the time comes.

'I believe that by that time, I'll be strong enough that Lyra won't dare to take revenge on me.'

At that thought, Sydney smiled, took out a folder, opened it, and started to work.

In the hospital, Zach also told Julien the results of Lyra's sentencing.

Julien did not have much of a reaction after listening. He just looked at the computer and said coldly, "After the one-month period, bribe some of the female prisoners and tell them to look after Lyra when she joins them."

"Understood." Zach pushed up his glasses.

Then, he remembered something, and his expression became serious. "By the way, President Flint, the investigation team finally found something strange about your car accident before."

Hearing this, Julien shut the lid of the laptop and turned to look at Zach. His voice was frighteningly cold. "Who was it?"

"I'm not sure, but what's certain is that it's the same person who killed the late Master twelve years ago," Zach replied.

Julien clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles cracked and the veins on the back of his hand stood up.

Twelve years ago, his father went abroad on a business trip and was killed in a hotel suite.

Since then, Julien had been secretly investigating who the murderer was, but there had been no results.

The only thing he knew for sure was that the murderer's identity was not simple. Otherwise, the person would not have been able to hide from his investigation for twelve years.

Even now, the murderer had not been found yet, and Julien was attacked by the murderer once as well. It was clear that he was targeted by the murderer now.

He did not worry that much about his own safety. He was worried that the murderer would target his grandmother and Jayden as well.

After all, the murderer was still hidden in the shadows, while they were exposed in the open. If the murderer targeted Old Madam Flint, it would be hard for them to prevent it because no one knew when the murderer would strike.

At that thought, Julien's eyes narrowed coldly. "Go to one of the security companies under Flint Corporation and mobilize two squadrons around Grandma and Jayden to protect them secretly." Zach knew why Julien was doing this and nodded slightly. "Yes, Sir."

"Go out." Julien waved his hand.

Zach turned around and left.

Julien lowered his head and hid his expression. No one could see what he was thinking about.

After a few seconds, he suddenly picked up his phone and dialed Old Madam Flint's number. "Grandma, it's me. I want to ask you something about my dad..."

Near the afternoon.

Sydney finally finished all the work, stretched, and walked to the sofa.

On the sofa, Davey was lying on it with a small blanket draped over him. He slept soundly. His small mouth that had some chocolate stains at the corners, quivered slightly. He looked cute and funny. Sydney sat beside Davey and reached out to pull a wet towel from the table. Then, she gently rubbed Davey's mouth.

Davey woke up from the sensation and blinked at Sydney, calling out sweetly,"

Aunty."

"You're awake?" Sydney pulled him up.

Davey hummed. When he saw the soiled wet wipes in Sydney's hand, he twisted his body shyly and said, "I'll do it myself, Aunty."

"Okay." Sydney saw that he was embarrassed and handed him the wet wipes with a smile.

Davey wiped his face and asked, "Aunty, are you done with work?"

"Yep. We can go back now." Sydney nodded.

Davey threw the dirty wet wipes into the trash can. "I'll go wash my hands. Wait for me, Aunty. I'll be right back."

After saying that, he jumped off the sofa and ran to the washroom.
