Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 18

Everyone looked as if they were watching a show, but Sydney ignored them.

She gave a vague smile and glanced at Julien, who was kneeling on one knee. Then, she turned to Mrs. Madden and said languidly, "First of all, I'm very sorry that I came uninvited. Second, who can be sure that the video on the trending topics is real? To say you want to settle the account six years ago, I feel really wronged."

Finally, her eyes fell on Lyra.

Lyra went pale and quickly hid behind Julien.

When the crowd saw that scene, they all criticized Sydney.

"This woman has a lot of nerve. She was the one who hit Ms. Madden six years ago, and yet she still has the guts to come to the banquet?"

"Yeah, look at how scared Ms. Madden is. It's too much."

Seeing how frightened her daughter was, Mrs.

Madden was not in the mood to fool around with Sydney. "What a sharp-tongued girl. Since you say you’ve been wronged, why don’t you go and explain it to the police?"

She was just about to make a call when Julien

stopped her.

The man who had been silent for a long time finally spoke. "Sydney, you shouldn't be here.”

Was he threatening her?

Sydney laughed and raised her brows somewhat sarcastically. "Then where should I go instead? Mr. Flint, we were married for six years. Although you’ve never done anything to me, I don't think I’ve done anything to let you down either. Didn't you upload that fake video to the Internet to slander me because you wanted to push me to the brink?"

Julien's eye twitched, and his palm, which was squeezing the brocade box, tightened slightly.

Zack was just about to speak up for his boss but was stopped by Julien. 1

He looked at her with a deep gaze. "Lyra won't pursue the matter. You don’t have to do this."

Sydney felt like she had just heard the world’s biggest joke. "Are you kidding me?”

She glanced at everyone around and casually sat down on a chair. "Layden, bring out the gift that I've prepared for Ms. Madden." 1

Thus, under everyone's astonished gaze, Layden hooked up the video on the projector and played it on the screen on the wall.

The crowd saw a different scene than the one on the trending topics.

At that moment, Brandon spoke. His bright gaze was somewhat grim. "Ms. Raines, how will you prove that this is real? Nowadays, with advanced technology, everything can be faked."

Sydney had expected him to ask that question.

As such, she looked at Layden.

The man made a phone call, and soon, a person got down from a car at the entrance. 1

That person was known to mos tpeople present as a famous computer technologist in Port City.

His words were more reliable than anyone else’s.

"I can prove that Ms. Raines's video is authentic, and the one circulating on the Internet was edited."

At those words, everyone’s faces suddenly changed. Julien's expression, in particular, was interesting.

His expression sank. "Have you had enough, Sydney Raines?”

Luke crossed his arms across his chest and sneered." Oh, poor you, Julien Flint. You got fooled! Putting aside the matter of the video, if you really cared about that accident six years ago, all you had to do was check with the officer in charge of it. Wouldn't you understand the truth then?"

Julien's face was frigid. His cold eyes, hidden with a rage nobody knew, landed on Lyra. He looked extremely dangerous.

Lyra panicked.

She did not expect Sydney to have evidence!

She shook her head with fear in her eyes. "I... I didn't lie to you, Julien. I didn't... Listen to me..."

Her explanation at that moment was too weak.

The truth was right in front of them, so it was useless no matter what she said!

Luke was immensely gratified at the scene and snorted. "Julien, there's something else you don't know. In the years that Lyra was in a coma, it was my darling who went to the hospital to donate blood to Lyra. If she deliberately hit Lyra, why would she continue to donate her blood? She did it for you. It's so ridiculous. You think that you're smart, but you really are blind!" 1
