Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 171

Brandon did not answer and asked in a gloomy tone, " Where’s Lyra?"

"Lyra's in her room," Mrs.Madden replied.

Brandon narrowed his eyes and headed upstairs.

When Mrs.Madden saw how angry Brandon was, her heart sank.

Did Lyra do something to offend him?

She quickly stood up and followed Brandon.

Brandon came to Lyra’s room and knocked on the door violently.

The next second, the door opened and Lyra appeared in her pajamas. Sleepiness was written all over her face. "Dad, what's going on?"

When Brandon saw her, the anger he felt only grew further.

He had to swallow his anger during the meeting despite being humiliated and pointed at. Yet here Lyra was, sleeping soundly at home.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he felt. In the end, he could not tolerate it anymore and raised his hand.

A hard slap landed on Lyra's cheek.

Lyra fell to the ground from the impact, and she was dazed.

Mrs.Madden screamed in shock and quickly ran over to her. "Lyra."

Lyra covered her face with her hand and looked at her father in disbelief.

Mrs. Madden did the same, but aside from shock, there was also anger. "Brandon Madden! Are you crazy? How can you hit your own daughter?"

"Just ask her what she did!" Brandon's finger was trembling as he pointed at Lyra.

Lyra got back on her feet with Mrs.Madden's support. Her eyes were watery as she asked, "Dad, what did I do wrong?”

"Say it!" Mrs.Madden touched her daughter's cheek and she was about to cry. "Lyra, is it painful?"

Lyra's pale and pristine face was now swollen.

One could only imagine how much force Brandon used just now.

"Yes.” Lyra bit her lip, and tears flowed down her cheek.

"Pain is good for you right now,” Brandon said coldly, " You told me that we can become the main cooperation partner because you managed to persuade Julien to help. Who knew that you switched our company's plan with someone else's!"

When Lyra heard that, a flash of guilt appeared in her eyes.

Even Mrs.Madden was stunned.

However, Mrs.Madden quickly processed the information and felt that it was nothing. "So what if she stole it? What's the big deal? You didn't have to hit her!”

"Yes. This isn't a big deal, but she was careless. She sent Zach away and went to the reception room alone, which was equipped with surveillance cameras. She basically handed the evidence of her misdeeds to others." Brandon looked at Lyra with contempt.

Lyra’s body froze. "I... I didn't know that there are surveillance cameras."

"Now that you know, it’s too late. When Sydney Raines pointed out that the plan was originally hers, do you know how embarrassed I was? There were more than twenty senior directors in the office. How shall I face them in the future? How can I survive in the business world?" Brandon said.

Lyra lowered her head and she dared not say another word.

Mrs.Madden patted Lyra’s back comfortingly." Brandon, is it that serious?"

"Is it?! I lost my reputation. Everyone knew that my daughter committed theft and stole someone else's plan. I became a joke to everyone!"

Brandon pointed at Mrs.Madden. "If you go out with your friends now, they’ll also look at you as a joke for sure."

When Mrs.Madden heard that, she suddenly realized how serious it was and became nervous.

"That... That can't be... right?"

"Why can’t it be?" Brandon sneered.

Mrs.Madden trusted him and there was a mix of emotions when she looked at Lyra.

Lyra noticed that her mother had also started to blame her. She bit her lip and started crying. "I did this for you, Dad! I wanted to help you be the main cooperation partner."
