To get back at Brandon, Harry stole Brandon’s daughter and threw her into a river.
Since then, the Raines family and the Madden family had held a feud against each other.
The two families stopped fighting because of Brandon's mother. Although the two families seem to be at peace, Brandon had always resented Harry for killing his daughter and he had never given up his intention to get back at Harry.
Six years ago, which was the third year after Brandon's mother's death,
Brandon managed to get Kaylie to drug Harry, which made Harry suffer from nerves, and Brandon secretly set a trap for Harry, which took Skylight Corporation down. Even if Harry sold all his shares, he could not save the company from going to bankruptcy.
Also, Brandon had someone encourage Harry to commit suicide. Finally, Harry jumped off a building and killed himself.
Even though Sydney did not know the real cause of Harry's death, she blamed the Madden family for Harry's death because she believed that the Madden family's manipulation led to the bankruptcy of Skylight Corporation, which drove Harry desperate and got him to kill himself. Therefore, Sydney hated the Madden family.
Later, Lyra hypnotized Julien and stole him away from Sydney. She also tried to have Sydney murdered several times, and Brandon, too, had given Sydney a lot of trouble.
All of these things add up to the fact that only one of the Raines family and the Madden family could survive.
Brandon's wife felt a little bit of sympathy for Sydney. She didn’t want Sydney to die. But as Brandon's wife, she could only side with the Madden family and hope that the Madden family would win.
Although Sydney did have some similarities to Clarice, she was not Clarice after all.
While the Brandon couple were making their next plan, Dallin saw the news about Julien and Sydney in the hotel. At that moment, Dallin was sitting on the couch, looking at his laptop screen, and fondling the tap of his cane. No one knew what he was thinking.
“Mr. Sullivan, Julien gave Sydney so many expensive gifts and showed his affection for Sydney publicly online. It looks like he's serious about Sydney. Maybe we can get back to the plan of using Sydney to get to Julien, "said Neil behind Dallin.
Dallin, however, shook his head. "That doesn't prove that Julien is serious about Sydney, so we can't revive that plan for now."
"Doesn't it?" Neil was surprised.
Dallin set his cane aside, took a sip of his tea, and said, "You don't have a girlfriend, so you don't know. Sometimes men do impressive things for women, but it's just a piece of cake for them. It doesn't mean he's serious about the woman. Julien has a wealth of hundreds of billions of dollars, and his gift to Sydney is only worth tens of millions of dollars. That's no big deal to him. His gift to Sydney was like giving money to a beggar. You've worked with me for so many years, and you know that some men use money to impress women, right?"
Neil nodded repeatedly, "Yes."
Dallin curled his mouth and continued, "Rich men are always generous to their lovers. They often give their lovers gifts, cars, houses, planes, cruises, anything to make women happy... Women cost a lot of money. But does that mean they love those women?"
