My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit
Chapter 523 The Pleasure of Julien

Julien felt annoyed the moment he saw that the call was from Luke.

But when he heard Sydney's words, he became happy immediately.

'Since Sydney tells me who calls her, she doesn't want me to misunderstand her, though she doesn't notice it herself.'

"Answer his call." Julien began to walk slowly. "He must have read the news of Lyra's suicide, so he calls you."

"I think so, too." Nodding, Sydney answered the call and turned on the amplifier.

As expected, Luke's loud voice came from the end of the phone. "Darling, have you read the news on the Internet? Lyra has committed suicide. Is it true?"

"Yes, it's true," Sydney replied. "The police have informed me that Lyra did jump out of a window to commit suicide. I'm at the scene now."

"What?" Luke gasped. "She has really committed suicide! I thought it was fake news deliberately fabricated by the media to grab people's attention. I didn't expect Lyra to commit suicide!"

"Yes. No one expected it." Sydney rubbed her brows.

Luke asked again, "Darling, how is the situation at the scene?"

Hearing Luke call Sydney "Darling", Julien frowned heavily.

'It seems that I have to meet Luke and ask him not to call Sydney "Darling" anymore.' Sydney didn't notice that Julien became annoyed. She answered, "The police are still investigating the reason why Lyra committed suicide."

"Well, then I'll go to accompany you," Luke said.

Julien pressed his lips.

Seeing Julien's expression, Sydney shook her head and said, "Don't bother. Julien is with me, so you don't have to come to me."

Hearing this, Julien raised his lips.

Seeing his change, Sydney felt amused somehow and gave a smile.

But Luke became unhappy and asked in a louder voice, "What? Julien is with you? It's so late. Why are you with him?"

"Grandma asked him to take me back. I have drunk wine in the evening and can't drive. Later, I answered a call from the police who told me that Lyra had committed suicide. So, I came to the scene with him." When Sydney saw the elevator in front, she added, "Well, I'm going into the elevator. Lye."

Then she hung up and walked into the elevator.

Seeing her come in, Julien put down his hand that was holding the elevator door. "Why didn't you tell him that the person who committed suicide wasn't the real Lyra?"

"It's unnecessary." Sydney shook her head. "Only you, Finn and I knew that the person who committed suicide wasn't Lyra. At present, even the police don't know about it. And the fewer people who know about it, the better. After Finn identifies the body, the police will know about it. Then they will definitely block the news and ask us not to spread it. So, it is unnecessary to tell Luke about it." "You are quite thoughtful," Julien praised.

Sydney smiled. "Thank you."

Thinking of something, Julian stared at her with affectionate eyes. "I felt very happy just now."

"Huh?" Sydney became stunned. "Why?"

Smiling, Julien didn't explain.

Sydney tilted her head, feeling that his words were weird.

But since he didn't want to explain, she wouldn't force him.

Soon, they arrived at the identification room.

Finn was still in the identification room and had not come out yet.

When Sydney and Julien arrived, there was only Jase waiting outside the identification room, who was pacing anxiously up and down.

"Hello, Mr. Joyce." Sydney greeted him.

Jase stopped. "Hello."

"What's the matter?" Sydney asked.

Jase was a little hesitant to answer her question. But when he thought that Sydney was Lyra's accuser, he didn't conceal his worries. "Well, when Dr. James entered the identification room just now, he told me a shocking and infuriating thing."

"It isn't Lyra who committed suicide, right?" Julien asked.

"No." Jase shook his head and then looked at him and Sydney in surprise. "How do you know about it?" "When Finn implemented the preliminary step of the autopsy, he had already realized that something went wrong," Julien explained in a low voice.

"It turns out to be so." Jase's doubts dissipated, and he sighed with a serious expression on his face. "Dr. James is doing a DNA comparison now. If the results show that it's not Lyra who committed suicide, the matter will be thorny. If Lyra runs away, it will not be easy to find her.

Moreover, she hates Ms. Raines. I'm afraid she will retaliate against Ms. Raines. And what she has done and probably will do is humiliating our police!"

Wasn't it a humiliation?

Lyra succeeded in escaping under the surveillance of the police and even got a stand-in without the knowledge of the police. If the news spread, people would definitely think that the police were incompetent. The reputation and reliability of the police would definitely be adversely affected.

Besides, Jase and other policemen who were responsible for watching Lyra would be punished without question.

"If the corpse is really not Lyra's body, we must find her as quickly as possible," Jase clenched his fists and said with a dark expression on his face.

Sydney nodded. "Yes."

As time went by, it would be more and more difficult to catch Lyra.

And Lyra would take revenge on Sydney without question. Moreover, as Lyra had hidden, Sydney would be absolutely unable to guard against her if she retaliated against Sydney.

When Julien noticed what Sydney was worrying about, he reached out to smooth her knitted brows and comforted her in a soft and serious tone, "Don't be terrified. I'll protect you. I won't allow her to harm you."

Looking at him, Sydney blushed with embarrassment. She looked away immediately and didn't answer.

Pressing her chest, in which her heart was beating very fast, she felt strange.

'It's weird. Why does my heart beat so fast after I hear what Julien said?'

'Moreover, why do I feel nervous when I look at him?'

Gazing at Sydney's pink ears, Julien smiled. Then he looked at Jase and changed the subject.

Julien knew that if he didn't change the subject quickly, Sydney couldn't calm herself down soon.

"Mr. Joyce, do you have the record of who visited Lyra this month as well as the surveillance video?" Julien asked with his eyes narrowed.

Jase nodded. "Of course, I have. When I found out that the corpse might not be Lyra's body, I thought that someone must have helped Lyra. So, I immediately asked a person to get the record and video. They will be sent here soon."

"Great," Julien replied with satisfaction.

Sydney glanced at Jase in surprise.

'Mr. Joyce is really a veteran police officer who has worked for more than ten years. He can make such a quick reaction.' While they were talking, the door of the identification room opened. Finn came out with the results.

When Sydney, Julien and Jase saw him, they immediately walked towards him.

"What are the results?" Julien asked.

Jase and Sydney also stared at Finn.

Finn handed over the documents to them, pushed his glasses up and said, "As I said at the beginning, the corpse is not Lyra's body."

Although Sydney, Julien and Jase had already known about the results, they felt it difficult to accept reality when they heard Finn confirm that the corpse was not Lyra's body.

Jase knitted his brows tightly. He had to be responsible for Lyra's escape, because Lyra managed to escape while his inferior was watching her.

If Jase couldn't find Lyra in the end, he would be fired.
