Brandon and his wife quickly left their house and drove to the police station.

They met Clarice soon.

Mrs. Madden hugged Clarice immediately and cried sadly. "You almost scared me to death. Do you know how worried I was when I heard that you were taken to the police station?" While crying, she patted Clarice's back.

When Clarice felt Mrs. Madden's genuine nervousness and worry, she raised her hands to embrace Mrs. Madden and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mom."

'Is this a mom's unreserved love for her child?'

Clarice felt it. It was so beautiful and warm that she wanted to cleave to Mrs. Madden forever!

So, she shouldn't be blamed for wanting to be Clarice forever.

Although Brandon was not as emotional as Mrs. Madden, he looked at Clarice with undisguised worry. "Have you been hurt?"

Clarice knew that what Brandon was asking was whether she had been hurt by Sydney when she attacked Sydney.

Clarice shook her head and replied happily, "No."

"That's good." Brandon breathed a sigh of relief, and then his expression became serious. "Tell me what happened? Why did you attack Sydney? Don't you see what has happened to Lyra? How dare you attack Sydney?"

'I don't plan to take on Sydney for the time being, because Trison Corporation and our family have just got through the crisis. It is not sensible for me to take on Sydney now.'

'Unexpectedly, Clarice has fought against Sydney rashly.'

'Even if she has fought against Sydney, it doesn't matter. But why did she lose and be put into the police station by Sydney?'

"I'm sorry, Dad. I shouldn't have injured Sydney. It's just that I find Mom has been sad about what has happened to Lyra, so I want to do something for them." Clarice lowered her head and said in an increasingly lower voice.

Mrs. Madden became stunned. "So, you did this for me..."

Clarice nodded slightly.

Mrs. Madden was so moved that she hugged Clarice more tightly. "Clarice..."

"Well, don't cry!" As Mrs. Madden cried all the time, Brandon got impatient and stopped her.

Mrs. Madden sniffed and stopped crying immediately.

Brandon looked at Clarice. "I know you did this for your mom, but you're too impulsive.

"I know. I'm sorry." Clarice apologized with her eyes flashing.

Brandon sighed. "Well, since you've already done it, it's useless to say these words now. Tell me how Sydney's injury is. I'll figure out how to save you."

"Ms. Raines's injury is not serious. Only her head was injured." Clarice replied.

Clarice knew that her parents would definitely save her.

Therefore, after having admitted that she had attacked Sydney, she did not panic, because she knew that she was the only child of the Madden family.

Though Sydney and Hunter planned to reveal that she was not the real Clarice, Clarice smiled at the thought of her secret weapon.

"Now that only Sydney's head was injured, it doesn't matter, as what you did cannot be regarded as a criminal case. Even if you're punished, you will only be detained for a few days." Brandon narrowed his eyes and analyzed.

Clarice's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Dad, do you mean I won't be jailed?" "Of course not. Your dad has said that it is not a criminal case. So, you won't be jailed. " Mrs. Madden didn't want her daughter to be sent to prison, so she replied quickly.

Clarice got excited.

'Great!'

Though I know that my parents will definitely save me, I didn't expect that I wouldn't be jailed.'

"Well, chat with Clarice. I'll go to ask the police something about bail." Brandon said to Mrs. Madden.

Mrs. Madden nodded. "Okay, come back quickly."

Brandon responded and left the interrogation room.

About ten minutes later, he came back, with a dark face.

Seeing his expression, Mrs. Madden and

Clarice became uneasy.

"Honey, how is it? Can we bail Clarice?" Mrs. Madden asked worriedly.

Clarice also stared at Brandon.

Brandon rubbed his temples. "We can bail Clarice, but we have to ask Sydney to sign a letter of understanding. Otherwise, Clarice will be detained."

"Then let's go to meet Sydney now." Mrs. Madden said immediately.

Clarice stopped her. "No!"

Both Brandon and Mrs. Madden looked at Clarice. "Why not?"

Clarice lowered her head, as she didn't dare to let them look at her eyes, for fear of revealing the guilt in her eyes.

'I must prevent them from meeting Sydney now.'

'If Sydney tells them about her red mole, I'll run into trouble.'

"Because she will not agree. She hates our family so much that she will definitely not sign a letter of understanding. Moreover, she'll even humiliate you. I don't want you to be humiliated by her. Don't go to meet her. I am willing to be detained. Anyway, I will be released several days later." Clarice smiled at Brandon and his wife, as if she had been considerate to them.

Brandon and his wife felt very warm.

Only their biological daughter would treat them so considerately.

If Lyra had been arrested, she would definitely have hurried them to meet Sydney and ask Sydney to sign the letter of understanding.

"Are you really willing to be detained?" Brandon looked at Clarice and asked seriously.

Clarice nodded sincerely. "Yes. Don't go to meet Sydney. Maybe she is waiting for you so that she can humiliate you. We must not be fooled and humiliated by her." "Honey, Clarice is right." Mrs. Madden said after thinking for a while.

Brandon also felt that Clarice's words were reasonable. He finally sighed. "Well, don't worry. I'll definitely let the police not detain you long."

"Thank you, Dad." Clarice smiled happily.

Although being detained was not a good thing, Clarice was willing to endure it for her future.

Brandon and his wife went out to negotiate with the police.

Then Sydney soon answered a call from the police about Clarice's penalty.

"Okay, I know it. Thank you." Sydney nodded and then hung up.

When Hunter saw her expression become gloomy, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"The police has decided on Clarice's penalty. She will be detained for fifteen days." Sydney replied.

"Only fifteen days? The penalty is very light." Sharon commented while nibbling at the apple, with her brows knitted.

Sydney pressed her lips.

It was due to the light penalty that Sydney felt unhappy.

Sydney asked her lawyer and knew that even if Derma had injured her, Derma wouldn't be jailed because the harm that Denna had done to her was not serious. It was possible that Denna would be detained for more than 20 days.

Unexpectedly, Denna was detained for only fifteen days.

"The penalty is indeed light. How about I contact the police and ask them to detain Denna longer?" Hunter said, with his eyes narrowed.

Sydney shook her head. "No. If you contact the police about this matter, you'll give something to your political rival to tarnish your fame. Well, it doesn't matter that she'll be detained for only 15 days. Anyway, the harshest punishment for Denna is not being detained, but being deprived of everything she has."

Hunter smiled. "That's true. But when will we tell the truth to the Madden family?" "We can tell them now, but we cannot meet them personally. Otherwise, they will know that Denna is a spy that we arranged in their family. If the Madden family spreads it, our reputation will definitely be greatly affected. You will implicate your family, and I will also implicate Trison Corporation." Sydney said in a deep voice with a sullen face.

In the business circle, what was hated most was scheming people and spies.

If others in the circle knew that Sydney and Hunter had arranged a spy in the Madden family, they would definitely doubt whether Sydney and Hunter had arranged spies in their corporations. This would definitely be a fatal blow to Sydney and Hunter.
