Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 31

Younger brother?

Sydney looked at the caller ID and frowned. "I'm Sydney Raines, but I don’t have a younger brother. You have the wrong number."

"No, he said he's your younger brother. His name is Jayden Flint."

As soon as she heard that name, Jayden's bad behavior came to mind, and the hairs on her body trembled. "Sorry, I don’t know him."

Then, she hung up the phone.

Luke asked curiously, "What younger brother? Was it Layden?"

"No, she got the wrong number."

Sydney left the office with Luke and agreed to talk about the planning for Skylight over Japanese food.

However, as soon as she entered the elevator, her phone rang again.

Sydney held in her temper and answered. This time, it was Jayden speaking instead of the female officer.

"Hey, sister-in-law. Come to the station and bail me out."

In the six years that Sydney had been married to

Julien, his younger brother Jayden had never called her 'sister-in-law' before and only called her by her full name. That was the first time he was calling her' sister-in-law'.

However, the kid called her that very reluctantly as if he said those words through gritted teeth.

"I divorced your brother a long time ago." Sydney reminded him as well as herself. "You should call your brother and tell him to bail you out instead.”

Jayden snapped. "Will it kill you to come to the police station?"

"Tell your brother to."

Sydney saw how quick the kid’s temper came and went, but she frowned when he suddenly fell silent.

Just as she was about to hang up, Jayden ended the call first.

"Julien's brother is looking for you?" Luke asked. He heard quite a few keywords from the call.

"I heard Julien booked a table at Grand Hyatt Hotel and invited Lyra's family over to have dinner with his parents to discuss a date for the engagement.

Shouldn't his brother be at the hotel as well? Why’s he at the police station?"

"It seems he has been detained for committing some crime." There was no change in Sydney’s expression, but she pursed her lips. “He wants me to bail him out."

Luke snickered. "Does he think you and Julien are still married? He's still ordering you around. His personality is exactly the same as that mother of his!"

When they reached the garage and were just about to get into the car, Sydney suddenly asked, “How long are offenders usually held in the police station?"

"That depends on the crime. If he's there for assault and no one bails him out, he'll be detained for about 15 days," Luke replied and then looked at Sydney in disbelief. "Are you going to bail him out?"

"If he doesn't dare to call Julien, it means that the crime must be very serious." Sydney got into the car." I'll go over and have a look."

Luke bent down and knocked on the car window, his eyes gloomy. "You’re choosing your ex-husband's brother over me?"

Sydney ignored him and drove out of the underground garage.

On the way to the station, Sydney recalled the conversation she just had with Luke in the garage and hated her momentary soft-heartedness.

She had decided to let go. Yet, when Julien's brother was in trouble, she ended up wanting to help.

After arriving at the station, Sydney mentioned Jayden’s name and followed the female officer inside. Soon, she saw a row of teenagers in their school uniforms standing against the wall.

Each of them was covered in dirt and their faces in

bruises.

"Jayden Flint." The female officer shouted at Jayden, who was standing in the crowd of teenagers. "Your sister-in-law is here to bail you out."

Jayden suddenly raised his head. When he saw Sydney, his eyes lit up for a very brief moment before his mouth curled into a grin. He scoffed. "Damned woman, I knew you'd come."

Sydney looked at him calmly. "What did you call me?"
