Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 221

Everyone suddenly turned their attention to Lyra.

Naturally, Lyra had become the target of public criticism.

She subconsciously hid behind Julien.

However, Julien's hand on her shoulder was firm, and he pushed her forward. "Lyra, you must admit your mistakes and bear the consequences of your own actions.”

Lyra's eyes widened and she stared at Julien in disbelief. She could not believe that he would choose to make her admit her mistakes instead of protecting her.

Lyra bit her lip and a flash of hatred appeared in her eyes.

Although it was fleeting, Julien noticed it and he was stunned.

Lyra hated him?

Just because he chose not to help her?

"I guess you figure it out, President Flint. I will not beat around the bush then. Mrs. Leigh took a sip of her wine and continued, "I was on the second floor earlier and I saw that it was Ms. Madden herself who ran into Ms. Raines. Ms.Raines did nothing, yet Ms. Lyra fell to the ground all of a sudden."

"Do you mean that Lyra deliberately fell to the ground herself and tried to slander my darling for it?" Luke sounded rather excited.

Mrs. Leigh nodded. "That's right."

Hunter and Layden heaved a sigh of relief.

It was great that Mrs. Leigh was now on their side.

Even Julien's furrowed eyebrows relaxed a little.

Sydney gave Mrs. Leigh a slight bow and said sincerely, "Thank you for testifying for me, Mrs. Leigh.”

Mrs. Leigh smiled at her. "I didn't do it for you. I just can't stand that someone is playing tricks here at my place.”

Her words made Lyra shudder in embarrassment.

Brandon's expression was ugly, yet he gritted his teeth and insisted. "But Kate saw something else. She said that it was Sydney who pushed Lyra."

"Really? Is that what you saw?" Mrs. Lyra looked at Kate with a twisted smile.

"I... I..." Kate was put on the spot and was visibly anxious. She did not expect Mrs. Leigh to be on the second floor.

Kate looked at Mrs. Leigh, then turned her gaze to Lyra and Brandon.

Lyra encouraged Kate, "Kate, tell us what you saw."

"That's right, Kate. Just say it. There's nothing to

hide." Brandon chimed in as well.

"I..." Kate was stuttering. While everyone around her was from a higher status than her, she suddenly felt immense pressure. In the end, she could not stand it anymore and started crying. "I... I didn’t see it."

"What?" Brandon’s expression changed instantly. "You didn’t see it?”

Hatred appeared in Lyra's eyes.

Damn it! Kate betrayed her!

Kate dared not look at Lyra and Brandon. She buried her head and added in panic, "I was in a heated argument with Sydney and I didn't pay attention to Lyra. I only saw Lyra on the ground when she screamed. I don't know how she fell.”

"You..." Brandon was trembling. "Then why did you say you saw it?"

"Because Lyra is my friend, so..."

"So, you said you see it." Sydney sneered. "You take Lyra as a friend, but does she treat you like one?"

"Huh?" Kate looked at Lyra at a loss.

Julien looked toward Lyra after hearing Sydney’s words.

Lyra felt his gaze on her and quickly hid her anger. She then made a sad expression and looked at Kate.

Kate threw everything that Sydney just said to the back of her head and suddenly felt guilty toward Lyra.

"Lyra, sorry, I..."

Lyra looked away and avoided her gaze.

Kate lowered her eyes dejectedly.

Mrs. Leigh watched everything unfold before her and shook her head.
