Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 101

"What else would she want? Kate Morgan wants to be acquitted. That's why she insisted on appealing her first trial. However, the results of the second trial won't change either, and she'll be detained as a criminal the way she should be. Her mother must be here to ask you to withdraw the lawsuit," Luke said in Sydney's ear.

Although his voice was soft, Mrs. Morgan heard him, and she became embarrassed. "Ms. Raines, well... Mr. Chase is right. I'm indeed here for that purpose."

"See? I was right." Luke shrugged.

Sydney rolled her eyes at him and looked at Mrs. Morgan with a cold smile. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Morgan, but I won't withdraw the lawsuit."

Mrs. Morgan did not expect Sydney to refuse her so directly. Her face stiffened, and she felt a little upset.

However, she quickly composed herself again and begged, "Ms. Raines, I know Kate went too far this time, but she knows that she's in the wrong. Please..."

"No!" Sydney interrupted her expressionlessly. "Mrs. Morgan, you say she knows she's in the wrong. Well then, let me ask you this. Why hasn't she apologized to me? Also, as her parents, since you know that she did something wrong, why haven't you said anything either?"

"Exactly." Luke tucked his hands behind his head and said leisurely, "You waited until the final ruling and only came to my darling when you know that Kate is going to be convicted. You didn't even bring a gift, and you want my darling to let Kate go just like that?

Where’s the sincerity? Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you if they find out?"

Mrs. Morgan's hands clenched onto her bag's handle. She was so humiliated by them that she did not know what to say.

She thought she would be able to persuade Sydney easily.

However, she could not believe those two youngsters were so hard-hearted.

"Alright, let's go," Sydney said to Luke, not wanting to go on with Mrs. Morgan anymore.

Just as they were about to turn around, Mrs. Morgan suddenly pulled Sydney's hand. "Ms. Raines, I'm begging you. Please let my daughter go."

Sydney frowned and tried to pull her hand away.

However, Mrs. Morgan grabbed her hand tightly and refused to let go. "Ms. Raines, I'm begging you. Please say yes. As long as you agree, I'll bring Kate to you and make her apologize to you. Please, Ms. Raines."

"Mrs. Morgan, I believe I've made myself very clear. I won't withdraw the lawsuit, so it's useless for you to beg me. Please let go of me," Sydney said impatiently.

Mrs. Morgan acted as if she did not understand and looked at Sydney like she was heartless. "Ms. Raines, are you really that heartless?"

"My darling is heartless? It was Kate who dug her own grave!" Luke laughed in anger at Mrs. Morgan's words.

Mrs. Morgan ignored him, focusing only on Sydney." Ms. Raines, I'll kneel for you, okay?"

At that, she let go of Sydney's hands and really did kneel on the ground.

Shocked by her action, Sydney and Luke hurriedly pulled her up.

"Stop it, Mrs. Morgan!" Sydney rubbed her temples, feeling a headache.

Luke's lips twitched as well. "Mrs. Morgan, this is moral blackmail, you know?"

She kneeled if Sydney did not agree with her. It was no different from acting like a scoundrel. Moreover, that was not just moral blackmail but also threat and persecution.

Sure enough, she was Kate's mother. With a mother with such twisted morals, it was no wonder Kate ended up how she did.

Mrs. Morgan continued to ignore Luke. When she saw Sydney's expression relaxed, she thought of something and hurriedly asked, "Ms. Raines, do you agree?"

Sydney's lips moved. "Sorry, Mrs. Morgan. I..."

Before she could finish, she saw Mrs. Morgan break free from Luke's hold and get ready to kneel again.

However, this time, she was picked up before she could kneel.
