Jayden lowered his head and looked as though he had received a hard blow.
Luke sneered and looked at Julien. "President Flint, do you still want my apology?”
Luke was implying that if Julien insisted on an apology further, then he would expose more of Lyra's misdeeds.
Julien understood the meaning behind his words and said nothing.
Lyra was also afraid. She tugged on Julien’s shoulder and forced a smile. "It's fine, Julien. Mr. Chase is right. I did so many bad things to Ms. Raines, so it’s fine if they don't apologize."
Luke pursed his lips. "From the looks of it, you don't need my apology anymore. I'll be leaving, then. The atmosphere here is horrible.”
After he said that, he fanned his hand and walked upstairs.
Sharon yawned. "I'm tired from horse riding. I'm going back to my room.”
"Since you’re all leaving, I better leave too,” Hunter said.
Soon enough, only Julien, Jayden, and Lyra were left in the living room.
Jayden looked at Julien, then looked at Lyra.
In the end, he pulled Julien's arm and dragged him to the balcony. "Bro, I have something to talk to you about."
"What is it?” Julien withdrew his arm.
Jayden shut the doors to the balcony. "You knew that Lyra Madden did all that to Sydney, didn't you?"
Ever since Jayden found out that Lyra did all that, even saying her name made him feel disgusted.
Julien pursed his lips. “I know."
Jayden was visibly upset. "Then, why are you still together with her?"
Julien frowned. "This is none of your business."
"How is this none of my business? I'm your brother, and I'm concerned about you,” Jayden said with his eyes wide. "Brother, listen to me for once. Break up with Lyra. She’s horrible and evil. I will never accept her as a family."
Someone like that was too scary. She might do something worse in the future.
What if she endangered his brother, or the entire family in the future?
"Take care of yourself first. Don't worry about my matters," Julien said impatiently and opened the door to the balcony.
Lyra stood behind the door and stared at them with her eyes red.
"Julien..." Lyra bit her lip and called out to Julien.
Julien sighed. "You heard everything?"
Lyra nodded.
Jayden was embarrassed and he avoided eye contact with her.
No matter what, he was still embarrassed as he got caught speaking ill of someone. Even more so when, the one who caught him was the person he was speaking ill of. Jayden wanted to leave immediately.
Lyra called out to him, "Jayden!"
Jayden stopped and turned around. "What is it? If you want an apology from me, you can give up right now. I didn't say anything wrong."
Jayden was adamant. She was a horrible person who even committed murder.
So what if he asked his brother to break up with her?
"Jayden Flint!" Jayden said in anger.
Jayden clenched his fists and was just about to say something when Lyra interrupted. "Jayden, I don't need you to apologize. I just wanted to tell you that I didn’t intentionally do those things to Ms. Raines. I..."
"I don't care if you have a reason or not, and I don’t care if you did it intentionally. You did it, didn't you?”
Jayden cut her off mid-sentence and continued, "I thought you were gentle and kind, so I was supportive of your relationship with my brother. I realized how much of a mistake I made today. You don't deserve my brother at all. Being together with him will only cause him trouble.”
