In Flint Mansion, Velma was directing the maids to erase all traces of Sydney's stay. The sheets she had slept in, the slippers she had worn, the apron she brought over, and even the dishes and cutlery she used before were all thrown away.
"What are you doing?" Julien, who came back to that scene, frowned slightly.
Velma snorted. "What's the point of keeping that woman’s stuff? Lyra is going to marry into the family soon."
Then, she looked around and quickly walked over to him. "Julien, you divorced her, right? She’s not getting a single penny of your hard-earned money!"
He said faintly, "She didn’t ask for any."
Velma clearly did not believe him. "That's impossible! She doesn’t have a dime to her name. How could she not try to wring a fortune out of you? How else will she get the money to keep other men outside?"
Julien's temples throbbed at the thought of Sydney's relationship with that male model. Not wanting to deal with Velma, he ordered Zach to take the divorce agreement and show it to her.
When he went upstairs, Lyra was sitting in front of the window reading a book.
She looked up and smiled softly at him. "You’re back."
Julien looked at her serene smile, and the irritation in him eventually calmed down.
"Are you feeling better?"
"Yeah. I was bored in the room, so I found a book to pass the time." Lyra gently put the book down on the bedside table and stood up to hug the man's waist from behind. "Julien, do you regret divorcing her?"
Julien's voice was low. "What's there to regret? I don't love her, and besides, she's the one who cheated first."
The corners of Lyra's mouth curled up into a slight grin.
The man turned around and wrapped his arms around her. "Don't mention her again. The most important thing now is your health. Your father will be holding a banquet for you next month, so you have to get well soon." 1
Lyra blinked and smiled. "I know."
After Julien left, she called the Madden family's butler.
"What are your orders, Miss?"
