Brandon could also tell that the tricks they had been using were all futile against Sydney. Moreover, Sydney had the support of the mysterious man.
If they want to bring Sydney down, then they must first expose the mysterious man behind her. This matter could not be rushed and must be done slowly.
Lyra remained silent. She had her head lowered, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Suddenly, the door of the interrogation room opened.
A policeman came in together with Sydney.
Sydney's cold eyes swept across the three of them, and she said sarcastically, "I didn't know that President Madden and Mrs. Madden are here too."
Mrs. Madden turned her head away and ignored Sydney.
Brandon snorted and did not say a word.
Only Lyra looked at Sydney with teary eyes and replied, "Ms. Raines, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to push you down the stairs. I just...”
"Dissociative identity disorder, right?" Sydney curled her lips mockingly.
Lyra bit her lip. "So, Ms. Raines already knew."
Sydney snorted and asked, "Do you really have this disorder?" "It’s true. I just found out as well.” Lyra nodded in horror, as though she was afraid of her own illness.
Mrs. Madden went and hugged her daughter. "Lyra, why didn't you tell your dad and me that you're ill?"
"I agree. You should've told us." Brandon looked at Lyra sternly.
Lyra held both of their hands and said, "I don't want to worry you both."
"You...” Mrs. Madden sighed.
Sydney looked at the family of three and a sense of nostalgia rose within her heart.
A long time ago, she also had parents who loved her very much.
However, it all turned to dust because of what happened six years ago.
"Cut it out," Sydney crossed her arms and said coldly," I don't know if Ms. Madden's dissociative identity disorder is real or not. If it's real, then just pretend I didn't say this. If it's fake, then I hope that you get this disorder."
Lyra froze momentarily and looked at Sydney in shock. "Ms. Raines, you..."
"Why are you such a horrible person? How can you curse Lyra?!" Mrs. Madden was so mad that she was trembling.
Brandon also looked at Sydney with a darkened expression.
Sydney spread her hands and shrugged. "I said it. If it's fake, then your daughter might end up with this disorder. If it's real, then you can treat whatever I said as rubbish. So, Mrs. Madden, why are you so worked up about this?"
"You..." Mrs. Madden was at a loss for words.
Brandon patted Mrs. Madden’s hand and narrowed his eyes at Sydney. "Girl, you’re still as articulate as I remember."
Sydney smiled. "President Madden, you’re flattering me.
Brandon snorted and said nothing else.
Sydney turned to Lyra. "Ms. Madden, are you happy that I lost the recording?"
"Huh?" Lyra blinked in confusion, then widened her mouth as though she had just come to a huge realization. "Ms. Raines, are you suspicious of me?"
"The only ones who knew about the recording were the three of us. I've already spoken to Julien Flint and he said he did nothing. Naturally, it could only be you, then." Sydney stared at her.
Lyra quickly waved her hand. "I didn’t. It's not me. I already said that I’ll go to jail to pay for my wrongdoings, so why would I find someone to snatch the recording?"
"Snatch?" The corners of Sydney's mouth twitched." Ms. Madden, you're basically confessing. When did I say that the recording was snatched?"
Lyra’s expression changed horribly as she noticed that she sold herself out by accident.
"I... I..." Both Lyra's hands twisted together uneasily.
When Sydney saw that, her face was filled with contempt. "You sounded so righteous, Ms. Madden. If you don't want to go to jail, you can just say that. I might even look up to you for being honest. Turns out you were just your same pretentious self.”
Sydney threw Lyra and a cold glance, then turned around to leave.
Lyra lowered her head with a twisted expression and decided to say nothing.
"Hubby, what are you looking at?" When Mrs. Madden saw that Brandon was staring at Sydney's silhouette, she frowned.
Brandon pondered for a few seconds. "Nothing. I just felt that Sydney’s side profile looked a lot like my mother.”
In the previous meetings, he also noticed that her smile was somewhat similar to his mother's.
