"Oh?" Sydney raised her eyebrow. "Hunter wants to ruin Julien and Lyra’s weekend?"
"Yup." Sharon nodded.
Sydney exchanged a glance with Luke. "Luke, you were right. Remember you told me that since the Maddens offended the Cohen family, Hunter would make Lyra's life miserable. Look at it unfolding now."
Luke laughed as he clapped his hands. "This is a good thing. Let Hunter help us out with Lyra for now."
Sydney agreed. "You're right."
Luke decided to change the topic. "Darling, let's go to the equestrian park."
"Sure.” Sydney quickly nodded and agreed.
The trio headed toward the equestrian park.
When they reached outside of the park, Sydney saw that three horses were already racing.
Although the people at the back of the horses were all wearing protective gear and had their faces covered, Sydney could still recognize them with a single glance.
It was Julien, Jayden, and Hunter.
Lyra did not join them and was sitting in the rest area watching them instead.
When Sydney, Sharon, and Luke walked over, Lyra saw them. She stood up with a smile. "Ms. Raines, you're here!"
Sydney ignored her and sat down on the other side.
Since Luke and Sharon came together with Sydney, they also ignored Lyra under Sydney's lead and sat next to each other.
Lyra's smile disappeared as the trio blatantly ignored her. Something flashed across her eyes, yet it quickly disappeared. She put on her smile again as though nothing happened.
Lyra walked over to Sydney. "Ms. Raines, are you not riding a horse?"
Sydney frowned in annoyance. "Ms. Madden, has anyone ever told you that you're annoying?"
"Huh?” Lyra was stunned and her face quickly turned red.
"I... Am I really annoying?"
"Are you not? Can't you see that we don’t want to talk to you? Why are you still trying to stick up to us? Are you that pathetic?" Luke asked coldly.
Sharon added, "Exactly. Do you have no self-awareness?"
"You..." Lyra's eyes turned red and she trembled, as though she was about to cry.
On the other side of the park, Julien noticed Sydney's appearance long ago. He frowned when he saw Lyra walking toward Sydney. Now that Lyra seemed to be crying, he narrowed his eyes and rode over with his horse.
Jayden and Hunter followed him.
Julien stopped his horse and got off in a swift motion. His movements were clean and they accentuated his good looks.
Sydney glanced at him, and she had to admit that he was amazing.
Whether it was work or his hobby, he was far superior to others.
However, there was no use in being superior. He was blinded after all.
As Sydney thought about that, she withdrew her gaze and looked elsewhere.
"Lyra." Julien took off his helmet and set it aside.
When Lyra heard his voice, she quickly turned around and buried her crying face in his chest. "Julien... Sob sob...."
The rest of them rolled their eyes, especially Sydney.
They did not do anything to her, yet she was crying loudly.
Those who did not know better might think that her parents just died.
"What happened?" Hunter came over with his horse and asked when he was still on the horseback.
When Hunter asked, Jayden decided to remain silent. Jayden did not even bother to look at Lyra. He glanced at Sydney with bright eyes instead. "Sydney!”
Sydney returned his gaze without answering him.
The light in Jayden's eyes disappeared.
It had been so long since the incident happened, yet Sydney still refused to talk to him.
"Lyra, what happened?" Julien patted Lyra's back and asked in a low voice.
Lyra shook her head and answered while crying, "Not ... Nothing. This has nothing to do with Ms. Raines. I..."
"Wait." Sharon smiled and paused. "Ms. Madden, what do you mean that this has nothing to do with us?
