My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 301 Lyra's Admirer

Cayden went to the forest to shoot for a magazine. He did not expect to see so much news about Sydney popping up on his phone when he left the forest and had coverage again.

How dare that woman Lyra falsely accuse Sydney of harming her and discredit Sydney’s reputation?

There were also those reporters, netizens, and that person who threw sulfuric acid. He would not let any of them off!

Sydney heard the suppressed anger in Layden’s voice and knew that the always gentle young man was furious after he heard about what happened to her. She hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Cay. I'm fine." "Are you sure? The sulfuric acid..." "The acid didn't splash on me. Many reporters saw what happened. There should be a video on the Internet as well, so you can watch it. I didn't get hurt." Sydney shook her head.

Layden lowered his eyes. "I know. I watched it, but I was still worried.”

"Are you at ease now?" Sydney chuckled.

Layden hummed. "Yeah. It's good that you're fine, Sis. Leave everything else to me. I'll handle it."

"Huh?" Sydney was confused. "What do you mean? What are you planning to do, Lay?"

Layden's eyes narrowed in a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "You'll know soon. In short. I'll make all those who treat you badly pay the price!"

Then, he hung up the phone.

"Cay? Cayden?" Sydney shouted twice, but there was no response from the phone.

She hurriedly brought the phone in front of her to see that the screen had returned to the home page. Only then did she realize that Cayden hung up on her. "That boy..."

For some reason, Sydney felt a little uneasy in her heart. She felt that Cayden s words were a prelude to something big happening later.

She hoped that she was just overthinking it.

"What are you thinking about? You're pulling a long face." Julien's deep voice mixed with concern came into her ear.

Sydney put the phone down. "Nothing. How did you get in? The reporters..." "They've been expelled from the police station." Julien sat down beside her.

"You asked the police to do it?" Sydney gave him a side glance. "But the reporters stayed outside for so long without the police driving them away, so it’s not likely that the police will chase them away now... Unless you had a hand in it."

Julien chuckled when she guessed the truth so quickly. "Yes, it was me. You've been in here for so long, and I was worried about you and didn't want to wait in the car, so I asked the police to chase those reporters away. However, that's only one of the reasons."

Sydney frowned. "Are there any other reasons?"

Julien nodded. "Grandma just called."

Sydney straightened up. "What did she say?

"She heard about what happened today and was very worried about you, so she called you. However, she couldn’t get through, so she called me to ask me about you." Julien crossed his legs gracefully.

Sydney smiled gently. "I need to thank her for caring about me. How did she know you were with me?"

"She watched the video online and recognized me as the one who saved you," Julien responded.

Sydney lifted her chin in realization. "I see."

Others might not recognize Julien, but there was no way Old Madam Flint would not be able to recognize him either.

"All right. Help me thank Grandma for her concern. I'll visit her in a few days." Sydney rubbed her temples.

Julien hummed. "Sure. I'll pick you up then. "No need. I know where the old Flint residence is. I can go there by myself. Why should you pick me up?" Sydney lowered her eyes and said in a faint voice.

Julien pursed his thin lips and said nothing.

He knew that she just did not want to go with him.

The two had no other words and fell silent.

After a while, a police officer came over. " Ms. Raines. We've finished the interrogation with the person who threw sulfuric acid at you."

Sydney immediately stood up at the words.

Julien also stood up. "What did he say?

Was he bribed? Or did he have a grudge against Sydney?"

Those two questions were what Sydney wanted to know the most, so she kept her eyes on the police officer, waiting for his answer.

The officer shook his head. "Neither. He wasn't bribed, and he has no enmity with Ms. Raines either."

"Then why did he do it?" Sydney's beautiful brows were slightly twisted.

Julien saw it and wanted to reach out to smooth out her frown, but when he guessed that she would avoid it, he decided not to. He just said in a soft voice, "Don't frown. It's not pretty."

Sydney gave him a side glance and found it strange.

She did not care if she did not look pretty when frowning.

Why would he care?

She ignored him and returned her gaze to the police officer.

The officer straightened his cap and replied, "His name is Frank Powell. He's a high school classmate of Lyra Madden, as well as her admirer. His family is in the chemical business, which was why he could obtain sulfuric acid."

"I see." Sydney pursed her red lips.

She had wondered how an ordinary person got contraband like sulfuric acid.

It turned out that it was because his family was in the business.

Julien said with a gloomy face, "Did he come to Sydney for revenge because he saw Lyra's live broadcast?"

"Not exactly. It's mainly because of Lyra's phone call," said the officer.

Sydney clenched her fists and asked at the same time as Julien, "What phone call?" C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

"According to Frank's statement, he said that Lyra called him before the live broadcast. On the phone, she cried about what happened to her, saying that she was in pain and did not want to live anymore. Frank told her not to be impulsive, and Lyra said that she didn't want to be impulsive either. However, she can't be calm because her enemy is still living in this world."

"So Frank came at me with sulfuric acid?" Sydney asked with gritted teeth.

The officer nodded. "Yes. That's pretty much it."

"Is what Lyra did regard as deliberately inciting a crime?" Julien suddenly asked.

The officer nodded again. "Yes."

Sydney bit her lower lip tightly and trembled with anger.

What a vicious move!

'Lyra not only slandered me online and framed me, but she also used her admirer to come after me. This double-pronged attack was clever.'

"Can Lyra be arrested according to this?" Sydney looked at the officer and asked urgently.

The officer shook his head. "Not for the time being. At present, we only know that Lyra might have falsely accused you and that she instigated Frank to commit a crime. However, this doesn't constitute a condition for arrest."

Sydney's expression darkened.

It didn't constitute a condition to arrest

Lyra. It seems we can't use legal means to deal with her for the time being. We can only fight fire with fire. We'll use Lyra's own method to deal with her!

'However, I still have to admire her. Every time she causes trouble, she always hides behind something else and uses other people to do her dirty work. Meanwhile, she'll always be completely clean, so no one can get evidence of her.

'She has such a clever head. It's a pity that she doesn't use it in a proper way.'

Sydney narrowed her eyes and then asked, "By the way, can I meet Frank?"

"No. An official order has been issued to transfer Frank to the detention center, so no one can see him except for his lawyer. Unfortunately, the victim can't see him either. You'll have to wait until the court session," the officer explained.

The corners of Sydney's lips pulled. "All right. Thank you. I'll get going now."

"Sure." The officer nodded.

Sydney glanced at Julien, and the two left the police station.
