My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit
Chapter 597 It Turned Out to Be Madeline

"Okay. Ms. Raines, we'll tow the car away." Immediately after Sydney gave her instructions, the captain of the towing squad gave his men the order. And they started to tow the car. Sydney stood aside, watching them while she dialed Sean's phone.

Sean quickly answered, "Ms. Raines."

"Sean, do you know who owns the car parked in my parking spot?" Sydney asked, looking at the Japanese car.

The car looked new. The owner probably just bought it.

Sydney didn't like Japanese cars now because last time, Lyra drove a Japanese car to hit her and Julien.

In so many days, they hadn't found any news about Lyra. They didn't know where she was hiding.

"It's parked in your spot?" Sean asked suspiciously on the other end of the line," Sorry, Ms. Raines. I didn't go to the parking lot this morning. I don't know whose car is parked in your spot." "OK," Sydney nodded, and then she said, " Find the parking lot manager and ask him about it."

"Okay, Ms. Raines." Sean responded.

Hanging up the phone, Sydney put her phone down and watched as they towed the Japanese car.

As the Japanese car was getting on the tow truck, she walked over toward her parking spot, picked up the no-parking sign, and put it back in her spot.

After that, Sydney paid the squad and headed for the elevator.

Soon, she arrived at her office.

Sean was waiting at the office door. When she saw Sydney coming, Sean briefed her on the schedule of her day.

After that, she told Sydney what she had learned from the parking lot manager, "Ms. Raines, the manager said that the car belonged to a woman and that the woman claimed she was your sister, so the manager didn't evict her."

Sydney stopped her steps at Sean's words. She turned around in a hurry and asked," What? My sister?"■Was it Madeline Raines?' "Yes. That's what the manager said." Sean continued, "The manager also said that the woman showed him her passport and that her name was Madeline Raines, and since your last name is also Raines, the manager believed she was your sister. He didn't want to give you any trouble, so he just let the woman park there."

'Therefore, it's not the manager's fault. The woman who posed as Ms. Raines' sister is to blame.'

"It really was Madeline Raines!" Sydney clenched her fists tightly. She had a sullen look on her face.

Sydney had just wondered if the woman claiming to be her sister was Madeline Raines.

Now it turned out it really was.

"Ms. Raines, do you know that woman?" Sean looked at Sydney curiously, and seeing the sullen look on Sydney's face, Sean asked tentatively, "Ms. Raines, does that woman have any grudge against you?" "You know that my dad has another daughter, right?" Sydney asked rhetorically.

Sean nodded, "Yes. I've heard Mr. Chase talk about you having a sister. Is Madeline Raines really your sister?"

"Yes." Sydney responded, "She's the daughter of my dad and his second wife."

"So that's it." Sean came to her senses, "I thought she was lying. But..."

Sean frowned, "I heard from Mr. Chase that your sister and stepmother took all of Skylight's money and ran away six years ago. She's right here at Skylight now. She's up to something, isn't she?" Sydney compressed her lips and didn't say anything.

In fact, she agreed with what Sean had just said.

Madeline had been sent to Beautrea by the Ferrels, and principally, she should stay in Beautrea.

However, Madeline went back to Port City and came straight to Skylight, and she deliberately took Sydney's parking spot to provoke Sydney. She must be up to something.

"Find out where Madeline is. Since her car was in the parking lot, she should still be in the company. When you find her, bring her to me." Sydney narrowed her eyes and said in a cold voice.

She planned to go to Beautrea at the end of the month and bring Madeline back home so that Madeline could apologize to their father in front of his tombstone.

However, Sydney didn't expect Madeline to come back on her own, which was good, because it saved Sydney some trouble.

"I know, Ms. Raines. I'll have it done right away." Sean nodded, and then she immediately went to make the arrangements. Sydney walked along and sat in her chair. Then her phone started buzzing. A message popped up. It was from Julien. Sydney's furrowed brows relaxed. She read the message. "Did you find out who it was?"

Sydney had anticipated Julien to ask her about this.

Sydney smiled and replied, "Yes, it was Madeline."

Julien had just gotten out of the elevator, and he was heading to his office. Seeing Sydney's reply, he paused.

'Madeline?

Julien typed with his slim fingers, "She's back in the country?"

Sydney rubbed her temples and replied. "Yeah. I didn't get any news in advance. She stirred up things as soon as she got back. Who knows what she's going to do next? But it's a good thing. She hasn't been to Dad's grave in six years. I'm going to take her there to apologize to Dad."

Seeing Sydney's message, Julien let out a low chuckle, "OK. Let her apologize."

Since Julien was on her side, Sydney felt secure. She curled up the corners of her lips and smiled.

Just then, a knock came on her office door.

Sydney looked up. "Please come in."

She thought it was Sean; however, it was Stephen's assistant.

"Ms. Raines," Stephen's assistant said, bowing to Sydney.

Sydney put the phone down and asked in an indifferent voice, "What does Stephen want?"

Stephen's assistant would not have come to Sydney's office if Stephen had not instructed him to do so. The assistant answered, standing at the door, "Ms. Raines, Mr. Dayton invites you to attend a meeting." "What meeting?" Sydney frowned suspiciously.

Every meeting had to be scheduled in advance, but Sydney had no meetings on her schedule today.

Yet Stephen invited her to a meeting now, which was strange.

"Mr. Dayton said that since your return to the company, the company hasn't had an official board meeting, so Mr. Dayton is going to call a board meeting to select the new chairperson. He thinks the chairpersonship has been empty for too long. With only one president and one vice president, it's not good for the company's development, so he intends to settle on a chairperson as soon as possible." The assistant said,

Sydney leaned back in her chair and had a faint smile, "So that's what Stephen was thinking. But Stephen was wrong. There's no need to hold a board meeting to select a chairperson because it is always the rule that the person with the most shares is supposed to be the chairperson, so I don't think there's anyone more suitable than me to take the chair."

Usually, the chairperson of the board was indeed the person who held the most shares. If the person with the most shares did not take the position, then the position will be left vacant instead of letting the person with fewer shares take it. That was the common rule of the business world.

Sydney was supposed to be the chairperson of the board, not the vice president. But Luke told her that since she didn't know anything about the business when she took charge, if she took the chair right away the other shareholders wouldn't obey her. They might even join forces to overthrow her.

Therefore, it was best for Sydney to be humble and take on a VP position. In that case, she could learn more stuff and gain the trust of the other senior shareholders. They would not be defensive against her a first. When she had learned what she needed to know, she could then take the chairperson's seat. By then, even if the other shareholders were not happy, they couldn't pull her down or overthrow her, as Sydney was not a newcomer then.
