"D*mn. After so much effort, Lyra isn't related to the Maddens by blood?” Hunter grabbed his hair in irritation.
Sydney pursed her lips. "It doesn’t matter to us whether Lyra is related to them by blood or not.
What’s more important is that we can't use her hair at all. We have to find a way to get the hair from Brandon Madden or his wife. Otherwise, we can't create a DNA profile for Clarice."
Sydney looked at Clarice, who had her head lowered and had been quiet.
Hunter touched his chin. "I'll settle this matter."
"What are you planning to do?" Sydney turned her gaze to him.
Hunter smiled and snapped his fingers. "It's easy. I'll learn from you and find someone to create a minor accident with Brandon Madden's car. The person can argue that it was Brandon’s mistake, and we can cause a fight that way."
Hunter blinked at Sydney.
Instead of saying something, Sydney gave him a thumbs up.
Hunter was like a child who got praised, and his smile was so bright it could light up the room.
After that, he looked at Clarice. "You heard what happened. We will have to delay your return to the Maddens for another two days."
"It's alright. I will wait for Mr. Cohen and Ms. Raines’s arrangement." Clarice quickly waved her hands and said.
Hunter nodded. "Let’s go."
Sydney agreed and left with him.
In the elevator, Sydney suddenly asked, "Oh right, I forgot to ask on what terms did Denna Loffe agree to be a stand-in for Clarice? Even though Clarice's identity is tempting, the risk of exposing herself is also high. Once this gets exposed, Brandon will definitely not let Denna off easily. It’s not easy to pretend to be a daughter from a rich family."
"Money." Hunter put both his hands on the back of his head. "In this world, nothing else is better than money. I told you that Denna Loffe came from a patriarchal family, and she was abused since she was a child, so she was never schooled. When I found her, her parents were planning to marry her off to a 50-year -old widower, with the conditions of a 200 thousand dowry. They wanted to use this money for their son’s marriage."
A flash of disgust appeared in Sydney's eyes. "Her parents are horrible!"
"Exactly. So, I spent 200 thousand to break off her ties with her family. I also promised her that if she is willing to pretend to be Clarice Madden and be our spy, I will give her a million dollars and one property. She agreed right away," Hunter said.
Sydney came to a realization. "I see, but a million sounds too little. When we get what we want, I will add on another million. Two million dollars should be enough for someone to live a simple life. What about her parents and family? What if they come out and expose her later on?”
"Don't worry,” Hunter said with determination. "I've sent someone to watch them, and I'll never let them step foot into Port City. Moreover, before I brought Denna to Port City, I already erased all her past records. Even if someone suspects that Denna is not Clarice, they will not be able to find out who she really is."
"That’s good.” Sydney smiled at him, reassured.
"Oh, right. I'll have to drop by Flint Corporation later to discuss some business with Julien, so I can't send you back..."
"I can take a cab. You go ahead." Sydney smiled.
With a ding, the elevator door opened.
The two of them went their separate ways at the side of the road.
Sydney took a cab back to Skylight Corporation, while Hunter drove to Flint Corporation.
In Flint Corporation, Brandon walked into the president’s office with Zach's guidance.
Julien was waiting for him inside.
After Brandon went in, he sat down right away." Julien, I think you know why I'm here today."
