My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit
Chapter 521 Mrs. Madden's Curse

Sydney was thinking about something on a bench motionlessly. She held the bottle with her hands tightly and lowered her head. Suddenly, she heard a burst of rapid footsteps and a woman's heartbreaking cries. "Lyra... My poor Lyra..."

It was Mrs. Madden!

Sydney raised her head and turned around. As expected, she saw Brandon, his wife, and Clarice walking toward her.

Although the Maddens had cut ties with Lyra, Brandon and his wife still had affection for her.

It was widely spread that Lyra had committed suicide, so they got the news and came here.

"Lyra! My poor Lyra!" Mrs. Madden walked in front, stumbled, and cried sadly.

Brandon took her by the arm. "Slow down. Be careful."

Mrs. Madden grabbed his sleeve and shouted with scarlet eyes, "How can I slow down? Lyra jumped from the building to commit suicide. She is dead!" Brandon sighed, "I know that you're sad. Lyra is dead. I also feel sad. But please calm down. If you fall ill, I will be worried about you."

Mrs. Madden fell silent, lowered her head and cried sadly.

Clarice walked behind them slowly. She didn't look sad at all, and her face was filled with impatience.

Although she felt surprised when she heard that Lyra had jumped from the building to commit suicide, she didn't have any other feelings.

Lyra wasn't her sister, so she didn't feel sad about Lyra's death at all. On the contrary, she just felt happy.

As for Clarice, Lyra's death was a good thing for her. At least, Mr. and Mrs. Madden wouldn't care about Lyra anymore. Thinking of that, Clarice smiled.

Suddenly, Clarice, out of the corner of her eye, saw Sydney. The smile disappeared on Clarice's face. "Ms. Raines!"

Hearing that, Brandon and his wife also felt surprised and looked in the direction where Clarice was looking at.

Seeing Sydney, Mrs. Madden broke loose from Brandon's hand and walked towards Sydney murderously as if Mrs. Madden had been stimulated severely. Sydney saw the scene and became vigilant.

Thus, when Mrs. Madden raised her hand and was about to slap Sydney on her face, Sydney reacted immediately, grabbed Mrs. Madden's wrist and pinched it forcibly. Mrs. Madden's face twisted in pain. "Let go of me!"

Of course, Sydney didn't let go of her wrist but pinched it more tightly.

When Sydney saw that Mrs. Madden's face turned red in pain, she didn't feel happy but wronged.

Yes. Sydney felt wronged.

She didn't know why she had such a feeling toward Mrs. Madden and didn't bother to think about it. She pushed Mrs. Madden away forcibly, stood up and said coldly, "Do you want to beat me?"

'My parents had never beat me but taken me as the apple of their eyes.'

'Mrs. Madden is nobody to me. How dare she beat me?'

'What is stranger, I even feel sad for that.'

Mrs. Madden was almost pushed to the ground by Sydney. Luckily, Brandon reached out to steady her in time, so she didn't fall to the ground.

Mrs. Madden grabbed his husband's arm and looked at Sydney with scarlet eyes as if she wanted to kill Sydney. "It's all your fault. Lyra died because of you. Return Lyra to me!"

Mrs. Madden shouted to Sydney. Her voice was filled with hatred.

If she wasn't grabbed by Brandon, she would rush over and scratch Sydney's face.

Sydney felt down and wronged.

She clenched her fists and said angrily, "Watch your mouth. Lyra's death has nothing to do with me."

"It's because of you!" Mrs. Madden pointed at Sydney with a trembling finger. "If you didn't send Lyra to prison, she wouldn't feel hopeless and jump from the building to commit suicide. My poor Lyra..." Mrs. Madden leaned against her husband's chest and cried sadly, almost out of breath.

Brandon patted her back slightly to let her breathe steadily, wanting to say something.

Sydney said first, "It's ridiculous. You said that Lyra jumped from the building to commit suicide because of me. It's unreasonable. Lyra deserved it. If she didn't do evil, I wouldn't be able to send her to prison and she wouldn't commit suicide. Thus, you don't have the right to blame me. You should blame yourselves that you didn't educate her well!"

However, Brandon and his wife were unreasonable and turned a deaf ear to what Sydney had said.

Mrs. Madden still thought that Lyra died because of Sydney. Mrs. Madden pointed at Sydney's nose and cursed, "Lyra died because of you. You let me lose a daughter. One day, you will lose the most important person like me and become miserable!"

Sydney widened her eyes. Her eyelashes trembled, and her face turned pale.

It was strange.

She shouldn't care about the so-called curse. After all, it was fake.

But she didn't know why she cared about it so much this time. Especially when Mrs. Madden looked at her murderously, she felt heartbroken. Even her eyes turned red.

Sydney took a deep breath, clenched her fists, suppressed her complicated emotions, forced out a smile and said with scorn, "Alright, please wait and see if I will lose the most important person and become miserable!"

'My parents had passed away.'

'In the world, I don't have the most important person anymore.'

'Thus, Mrs. Madden's ridiculous curse will be in vain.'

Brandon looked at Sydney and said evilly,"

Don't be too confident. Otherwise, you will regret it."

Sydney raised her chin. "I don't know if I will regret it, but I know that you are not able to see the day when I regret it."

Brandon panicked. "What do you mean? Do you...?"

"What...?" Sydney crossed her arms over her chest.

The muscles on Brandon's face trembled.

Then he looked down to hide the gloominess in his eyes. "Never mind. Let's go."

'I can't ask Sydney if she knows that something is wrong with my kidney.'

If Sydney doesn't know that but I ask her, she will know the news from me.' 'I can't take the risk.' 'Maybe Sydney referred to something else just now.'

Thinking of that, Brandon took his wife by the arm and was about to leave in case he would spill the beans.

Besides, they needed to see Lyra's body and learn about the details of Lyra's death. They couldn't waste too much time on Sydney. They would have many chances to deal with Sydney. Brandon glanced at Sydney evilly and coldly, turned around and was about to leave.

However, when he turned around, his kidney hurt suddenly.

He cried out in pain, let go of his hand on his wife's arm and was about to kneel on the ground.

Sydney reached out to support him subconsciously when he was about to kneel on the ground. She didn't know why she did so.

Besides Sydney, even Brandon and his wife were surprised by her move.

Especially Brandon, when he looked at Sydney's hand on his arm, the muscles on his face trembled.

"You..."

Hearing Brandon's voice, Sydney realized what she had done immediately. She let go of his arm, stepped back and said coldly," I'm sorry that I don't have the time to put on an act of feigning injury with you, Mr. Madden."

"Feigning injury?" Brandon was so angry that he breathed heavily.

'I know that I'm not a good man.'

'But I won't do such a shameless thing.'
