Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 27

"What's wrong, Lyra?" Velma asked when she saw that Lyra had seemingly gone pale.

Lyra immediately turned her phone away and said softly, "It's nothing. My mom sent a message asking when I'm going back. I'll reply to her later."

Velma turned to the front to talk to Julien without suspecting her.

After making sure that Velma was not looking that way, Lyra picked up her phone again and looked at the WhatsApp message her friend sent.

That friend was also playing at Red Plum Resort today and said that she saw Julien. She was just about to say hello to him, but she saw Julien chasing after Sydney. The two of them stood by the car and chatted for a long time.

Lyra turned off the media volume and tapped on the video.

In the video, Julien said something to Sydney. Then, he carried her into the car, got into the driver’s seat of her car, and drove away.

It was just a short ten-second video, but it caused Lyra's hands and feet to turn cold. She clutched her phone tightly.

Were they not divorced?

Why did Julien get into Sydney’s car and lie to her?

Lyra remembered that night at the banquet. Julien seemed to be on Lyra’s side, but the moment Sydney spoke, he gave her the Azure Heart that was worth more than a hundred million dollars so as not to embarrass her. Now, this video today...

Lyra began to panic. She felt like even if Julien and Sydney were divorced, Julien did not belong to her.

Was she destined to not obtain what she had stolen?

By the time Sydney woke up in the hotel, it was already the next morning.

She remembered that she had gotten wet last night and must have caught a cold. However, she was refreshed when she woke up.

Soon, she remembered that Julien had insisted on sending her back to Shallow Bay. While she was in a daze, she seemed to have felt someone feeding her something...

Was it Julien?

Sydney brushed away the images in her head, washed up quickly, and left the hotel.

After arriving at the company, she called Sean in. "The boss of ZX will come to the office to sign the contract later, so get the contract ready."

Sean was stunned. "You made a deal with ZX, Ms.

Raines?" "Yeah." Although Sydney did not want to admit it, if Julien had not come to the private room yesterday afternoon, the boss of ZX would not have relented and taken the order from Skylight.

She owed Julien a favor.

"Okay." Sean nodded and quickly retreated to prepare the contract.

Sydney took off her coat and hung it on the coat rack. She was just about to sit down and handle the documents Sean sent when the office phone at the table rang.

She picked it up. "Hello?"

"Ms. Raines, there's a gentleman named Hunter Cohen who wants to meet you," the receptionist reported. "Do you know him?"

Sydney said, "Bring him up."

Soon, there was a knock on the door, and the receptionist led a man in.

The man was dressed in comfortable and casual clothes. His hair was dark and thick with slightly curled ends, and his features were so perfect that it was impossible to pick out a single flaw. He was handsome and dashing.

His narrow eyes casually swept through the office before they finally landed on Sydney.

"Ms. Raines, you really are adaptable." Hunter walked to the table, pulled out a chair to sit down, and chatted amicably with Sydney. "You've only been in Skylight for a few days, but you're already a proper leader. I can't tell that you've been a housewife for six years at all."

"Well, neither did I expect the suave, womanizing playboy to be the mayor's youngest son." Sydney did not show weakness when it came to being sharp-tongued.

Hunter raised his brows. "Ms. Raines, I was complimenting you for finally being yourself, but you're dissing me instead?"

"I'm also complimenting you for being very good with the ladies."
