Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 63

Half an hour later, Brandon returned to the Madden residence.

As the butler greeted him, Brandon handed over his coat. "Where's the Madam and the Young Miss?"

"They're in the room.” The butler draped the coat over his arm and replied.

Brandon hummed in acknowledgment and walked upstairs.

In the room upstairs, Mrs. Madden and Lyra were sitting at the end of the bed, looking at the photo albums together.

Lyra pointed to a photo of herself. "Mom, do you still remember this photo?”

Mrs. Madden stroked Lyra's long hair lovingly. "Of course I do. It was taken when you were six years old. I still remember you played hide-and-seek that year, and I couldn't find you anywhere. I was so scared that I thought you went missing, but you fell asleep hiding in the attic.

"I know. I woke up and came down from the attic myself, only to find you crying. You even called the police." Lyra reminisced.

The smile on Mrs. Madden faded a little, and her eyes flashed with hatred.

It was only natural for her to cry and call the police if she lost her child. Moreover, she thought that Harry Raines had kidnapped her youngest daughter.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

Lyra turned to the next page, and suddenly, a yellowed photo from the album floated to the ground.

She bent down to pick it up. It was a photo of a baby about a few months old who had a gummy grin and was so cute that it could make people like her at first glance.

However, for some reason, Lyra did not like her at all. On the contrary, she resented the baby in the photo and even hated her.

Nevertheless, she did not express it and showed the photo to Mrs. Madden, asking with a smile, "Mom, is this my older sister?”

Mrs. Madden touched the photo of her eldest daughter and nodded with her eyes wet. "Yes. She’s your sister, Clarice."

Seeing Mrs. Madden’s love for that baby girl, Lyra could not help but feel jealous.

She took the photo back and put it back in the album.

Then, she held Mrs. Madden's hand and leaned her head on the woman's shoulder. Like a spoiled child, she said, "Okay, Mom. You get sad every time we mention my sister, so let’s not mention her anymore. I believe she wouldn't want to see you unhappy either."

How dare a dead person rob her mother’s attention away from her?

It was unacceptable!

"Okay, we won't mention her." Mrs. Madden did not know Lyra’s motive and thought that her youngest daughter was truly concerned about her. She smiled dotingly at Lyra.

At that moment, the door opened, and Brandon walked in with a dark expression.

Having noticed him first, Lyra let go of Mrs. Madden's hands and waved at him. "Dad."

However, Brandon simply glanced at her and then ignored her.

Lyra's expression stiffened for a moment. Then, she bit her lip, upset. "Dad, did I do something wrong?"

"Exactly, honey." Mrs. Madden looked at her husband with dissatisfaction. "Why are you looking at your child like that? She didn't do anything to provoke you."

"Who says she didn't? Go ahead. Ask her what she did!" Brandon pointed at Lyra.

Mrs. Madden immediately turned to Lyra.

Lyra also looked confused.

When Brandon realized that she did not know what was going on, he stopped beating around the bush and said with a cold face, "I know about your plot to harm Sydney Raines at the resort."

Lyra's eyes flickered with guilt. "How did you find out?"

"How did I find out?" Brandon snorted. "She has posted the land deed on the Internet as a slap to my face. How could I not find out? Not only did you scheme against that woman, but you also failed and allowed her to get a hold of you instead. Now, even that piece of land has been given to her as compensation. You..."

He was too angry to continue speaking.

Lyra lowered her head, knowing that she was in the wrong.
