Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

At Luke's words, gasps sounded from the guests. All eyes turned to Lyra and then to Sydney in shock.

The video had been confirmed by an expert to be genuine. If Luke's words were also true...

Julien was equally shocked.

He looked at the woman standing in front of him, and his eyes darkened. It was only after a moment did he speak. "Why didn't you tell me, Sydney?"

"Would you have believed me if I told you?" Sydney retorted in a mocking tone. "Mr. Flint, we were married for six years, but I can count on one hand the total amount of conversations we had. You only have Ms. Madden in your eyes. You don't care about anyone else."

She used to go to the hospital every day to donate blood to Lyra. She knew how her marriage with Julien came about, and she knew who the person in his heart was. She tried to take care of Lyra so that Julien would look at her more.

However, for six years, the only thing she got from Julien was indifference.

At those words, Julien re-examined the woman in the black dress and red lipstick in front of him. Her expression was cold and aloof, seemingly the complete opposite of the virtuous woman who used to wait for him to come home every day. 2

He also remembered that before they divorced, he and Sydney rarely talked. He never asked what she did and what friends she had.

It seemed like he had never known her...

The two of them exchanged a few words before Julien fell silent. However, next to Julien, Lyra could tell with her keen senses that the man's heart had softened for Sydney. It seemed like he wanted to defend Sydney.

Lyra quickly glanced at the guests, gnashed her teeth fiercely, and stepped forward, where she bowed deeply at Sydney.

"Sydney, I can't believe you went to the hospital all these years to donate blood to me. You were so good to me..." Lyra choked up. Her eyes gradually reddened, and she bowed to Sydney again. "I'm sorry..." When she raised her head, she gave a look at the crowd and continued to apologize to Sydney. "I'm sorry about the video too. My father loves me too much and made a mistake in the investigation. That's why he thought that you were the one who hit me."

"Ms. Madden, please." Not appreciating Lyra's apology at all, Sydney glanced at Julien.

It seemed like it was Mr. Madden who released the video. She thought that it was Julien who did that cruel act.

All Lyra did was lower her head and purse her pale lips.

Soon, Lyra saw the jewelry box the maid had brought over. She took it and handed it to Sydney. "...Ms.

Raines, thank you for taking care of me all these years. This is a gift my dad gave me, and I'm giving it to you now as a token of my gratitude."

She opened the jewelry box, revealing a fully studded diamond tiara lying on black velvet. It was even more dazzling under the illumination of the light.

"I-Isn't that the tiara Princess Lillet wore during her wedding?"

"Mr. Madden really spoils his daughter!"

Among the guests, the people who love jewelry immediately recognized the tiara. They exclaimed that even though the tiara was not as valuable as the Azure Heart, it was still very luxurious and that Mr. Madden really loved his daughter.

The look in Brandon's eyes changed when he saw that tiara.

However, he knew why his daughter was giving that jewelry to Sydney. As such, he went forward with a cold face and spoke in an alright tone. "Regarding the video, I'm sorry for accusing you, Ms. Raines. However, I would also thank you for taking care of my daughter. Please accept this jewelry!"

Sydney stood there with her legs slightly parted and simply glanced at the diamond-studded tiara. She had no intention to take it from Lyra's hand at all.

Seeing that Sydney was not taking it, Lyra said, "This tiara is the same one that Princess Lillet wore when she got married. It was designed by Van Cleef & Arpels. Many years ago, my father bought it from Sotheby's auction house for 60 million..."

Her voice gradually lowered as she spoke. "It's also one of my favorite pieces of jewelry. I'm taking this out only because I really want to thank you, Ms.

Raines."

The guests could all hear how bad Lyra felt. Hence, when they saw Sydney refusing to accept the jewelry and having a condescending attitude, they began to criticize her.

"Don't take it too far, Sydney Raines. Ms. Madden has apologized."

"Yeah, Mr. Madden only made a mistake because he was protective of his daughter. Hasn't he apologized to you?"

"Ms. Madden took out such precious jewelry to thank you, yet you don't want it? What else do you want?"

u,,

The guests' words became more and more vitriolic. It was as if the person who committed the wrongdoing was Sydney instead. Julien frowned as he listened to them.

"Julien." 'Lyra looked back at Julien and lowered her voice. "I really didn't know about Ms. Raines going to the hospital to donate blood to me. You have to believe me. Help me persuade Ms. Raines to accept my gift as thank you."

Julien looked at her thin body and pale lips and felt his heart ache.

"Sydney, Lyra and Mr. Madden have both apologized to you," Julien said in a deep voice, "Lyra's gift is also worth a lot. Just take it."

Sydney knew that no matter how innocent she was, Julien would stand on Lyra's side.

However, when she heard those words from his mouth, her hands clenched tightly. Her heart hurt as if it was pierced by a needle.

To think she actually loved a man like that for eight years. What a joke!

Luke, who was originally watching the show from the side, was furious to see how Julien was bullying Sydney. He wanted to charge at Julien. "Julien Flint, you motherf*cker-"

"Luke." Sydney raised her hand to stop Luke.

She was a little exhausted after what happened tonight. Just as she was about to tell Luke that they were leaving, she saw Lyra's face from the corner of her eyes and caught the smug smile on her mouth. Yes, she was here today for revenge, not to save their dignity.

She swallowed the words in her mouth and pressed down on Luke's hand as her gaze turned cold. "I'll handle this."

She twirled on her high heels and faced Lyra.

Lyra was caught off guard by Sydney's actions. She hurriedly put away the smile on her face and held out the jewelry box again.

"Ms. Madden, I've donated quite a lot of blood to you over the years, and it has made my body very weak now." Sydney brushed her finger across the diamond-studded tiara. "Don't you think this tiara isn't enough to thank me?"

Then, she looked at Julien and smiled. "Don't you agree, Mr. Flint?"

Julien glanced at her bright face and asked in a deep voice, "What else do you want?"

"I want what's in your hand - the Azure Heart." Sydney pointed to the jewelry box in Julien's hand. She did not look like she was joking at all.

"No." Lyra interrupted Sydney in a low yet aggrieved attitude. "Ms. Raines, I know you're not happy with me because of the video. I can let you pick freely from my jewelry collection, but you can't take the Azure Heart. This is the necklace Julien is going to propose to me with..."

The guests were also unhappy. "That's right. You're too much, Sydney. You don't want the expensive tiara that Ms. Madden is giving you, but you want the Azure Heart?"

"Are you deliberately getting revenge on Mr. Flint because you're not happy that he divorced you?" 3

Sydney ignored those insults and looked at Julien." Don't you love Ms. Madden, Mr. Flint? It's Ms. Madden who wants to thank me. What? Are you not willing to give me a gift to thank me now?"
