Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 156

"Yes, it's almost identical," the manager looked at her hand which had turned red from Mrs. Madden's grip and replied with a forced smile.

Mrs. Madden's eyes instantly reddened as tears flowed down. "It's Clarice, it's definitely Clarice. Clarice isn't dead. She's still alive! Manager, where's that girl now?"

She asked in a trembling voice.

The manager replied, "She already left, but it hasn't been long. She might still be in the mall."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Mrs.

Madden rush out of the store without even taking her bag. Mrs. Madden looked all around the mall for a lady who would be around the same age as her eldest daughter.

However, she searched the entire mall but could not find a girl who was wearing the daughter necklace and whose eyes resembled hers.

Mrs. Madden returned to the DT store, disheartened.

The manager brought a cup of hot water to her. "Did you find her, Mrs. Madden?"

Mrs. Madden shook her head in dismay. "No."

"Don't lose heart. Since she's in Port City, I'm sure that you'll meet her eventually." The manager comforted her with a smile.

Although she did not know who "Clarice" was and what relation she had with Mrs. Madden, judging by Mrs. Madden's frantic behavior, they must be very close.

"Thank you." Mrs. Madden squeezed the corners of her mouth and took out her card to settle the bill. Then, she took the bracelet and hurried back to the Madden residence.

"Honey!" Mrs. Madden shouted as soon as she entered the door.

Brandon came down from upstairs. "Didn't you go out shopping? Why are you back so soon?"

"Honey, Clarice is alive," Mrs. Madden looked at Brandon who came downstairs and said excitedly.

Brandon almost slipped. "What did you say?"

He held onto the railing and stared at Mrs. Madden in shock.

Mrs. Madden clasped her hands together. "Clarice is alive. Our eldest daughter is still alive."

"Nonsense." Brandon frowned and continued to walk downstairs. "You must’ve met another conman. A few years ago, there were often liars who said that our daughter was alive, but they were just trying to con us. H

"It's different this time. Clarice took the necklace -this one..." Mrs. Madden hastily took out the necklace around her neck. "Clarice took the daughter necklace to DT to ask about it. The manager even told me that Clarice's eyes look identical to mine. Brandon, my intuition is telling me that the girl the manager was talking about is Clarice."

Brandon was also stunned. "But how could that be? Clarice was drowned by Harry Baines. We both saw that."

"We did, but the police told us that they couldn't find Clarice's body, right? Maybe she didn't die after she was thrown into the river and was saved by someone downstream. Otherwise, how can you explain a girl with eyes identical to mine showing up with the daughter necklace?" Mrs. Madden said while clutching her necklace.

Brandon held his forehead. "I need a moment."

"Dad, Mom, what are you talking about?" Lyra also came down from upstairs at that moment. She could not help but ask when she saw Brandon and Mrs. Madden's odd expressions.

Mrs. Madden pulled Lyra. "Lyra, your sister isn't dead. She's still alive."

"What?" Lyra was stunned for a moment before her eyes widened. "Mom, you're saying that Clarice isn't dead?"

"Yes, she's not dead. She's in Port City." Mrs. Madden nodded joyfully.

Lyra lowered her eyes which were full of gloom.

Clarice was not dead. It was too surprising.

'Seeing how happy Mom looks, it seems like she's preparing to bring Clarice back. If that happens, Mom would only care about Clarice in the future. She won't care about me anymore.

'No, I can't let Clarice come back. If she comes back, my inheritance rights, family property, and my parents ' favor would all be divided in half.'

Lyra could never let this happen.

She bit her lower lip and put on a smile on her face, asking cautiously, "That's great, Mom. Where’s Clarice now?"
