Chapter 107 What Do You Like About Her?

After that, Sydney stopped talking and put the phone down.

Luke pouted somewhat unhappily. "You're taking a while."

Sydney noticed the sourness in his tone and could not help but roll her eyes. "Weren't you going back to your company? Aren't you leaving?"

"Hah, women! You only know how to kick me out!" Luke stood up and said gloomily.

Sydney did not know whether to laugh or to cry. She ignored him and picked up a document to read.

In the Madden residence.

When Mrs. Madden learned that Brandon was arrested, she was instantly stunned. She did not know what to do and simply cried.

She sat on the sofa with a box of tissues on her lap.

Balls of scrunched-up tissues were already piled up on the coffee table in front of her.

"Lyra, what should we do?" Mrs. Madden's eyes were red with tears as she looked at her daughter across the table.

Lyra did not cry but she bit her lower lip tightly. "I don't know. I'll call the uncles in the corporation to ask if there's any way to bail Dad out."

"Call them quickly." Mrs. Madden urged.

She was a full-time wife and had always been dependent on Brandon to survive.

Now that Brandon was arrested, she felt like the sky was falling.

Lyra took out her phone and dialed the number of a shareholder who was quite close to the Madden family.

The call was quickly answered.

However, after a few minutes, Lyra lowered the phone from her ear with an unpleasant look on her face.

Mrs. Madden saw this and had a bad feeling in her heart, but she still asked hopefully, "How was it?"

Lyra shook her head. "He said that Dad sent people to destroy the museum built by the state. The evidence is conclusive, so it's not possible for him to be released on bail."

Mrs. Madden's face turned white. She felt like the whole world was spinning.

She covered her chest and cried even harder. "How could this be? Why did your father go and destroy the museum?"

Lyra did not speak and lowered her head to cover the warping of her expression.

She did not understand. Her father clearly sent people to destroy Sydney's factory. How did it end up being the national museum?

What was going on here?

"Lyra, go find Julien." Mrs. Madden suddenly thought of a way and grabbed Lyra's hand.

Lyra looked at her. "Find Julien?"

"Yes. Since your dad can't be released on bail, the only way is to let the officials release him. Isn't Julien good friends with Hunter Cohen? Tell Julien to talk to Hunter and release your father," Mrs.

Madden nodded and said.

Lyra's eyes lit up and she stood up. "I'll go right now."

No matter what, she had to rescue her father.

Otherwise, as time passed, her father's position as the chairman would be removed by the board of directors. Even if the majority of shares were in his hands, he would lose control of the corporation and the right to speak.

If that happened, her status in the circle of rich young ladies would no longer be as high.

Lyra left the Madden residence with her bag and went to Flint Mansion.

When Julien came back from work, he saw Lyra chatting with Velma.

"Julien." Lyra stood up with a smile when she saw

Julien. "You're back."

Velma also smiled. "I was wondering why Lyra suddenly stopped talking. It was because she saw you. Well, I won't stay here and bother you anymore."

"Aunty." Lyra blushed in embarrassment.

Velma covered her lips and walked away with a laugh.

"Why are you here?" Julien put down the briefcase in his hand and looked at Lyra.

Lyra walked over to his side and hugged his arm." What? Can't I come here?"

"You should've told me if you wanted to come. I'll go pick you up." Julien took her back to the sofa and sat down.

Lyra poured him a glass of water. "It's fine. I can drive myself here. You don't need to pick me up."

Julien hummed and his eyes flashed slightly. "Why did you come over so suddenly? Is something wrong?"

Lyra hesitated for a moment and asked, "Julien, do you know about my dad being arrested?" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Yes." Julien took a sip of water. "So, you came to me because of Brandon?"

"Yeah." Lyra nodded. "Julien, can you help my dad? He didn't mean to destroy the museum."

'He didn't mean to?'

A trace of ridicule flashed in Julien's eyes before it disappeared again, and he slightly shook his head. "I can't help. I already asked about Brandon's case. The evidence is conclusive, so the state doesn't allow bail."

"I know. I'm not asking you to bail Dad out, but I want you to talk to Mr. Cohen. As long as the Cohen family makes a move, Dad will be released." Lyra's eyes were moist as she looked at him, her gaze full of expectation.

Julien frowned. "The Cohen family can indeed save Brandon, but they won't do it. That's because once they do, the Cohen family's enemies will use this against them. Do you understand, Lyra?"

Moreover, there would be a transition of Port City's officials this year, and the Cohen family wanted to sit in that position.

Therefore, the Cohen family would never let themselves commit even the slightest mistakes.

"I don't understand." Lyra's eyes instantly reddened." You haven't even tried talking to them. How would you know that they wouldn't do it?"

Julien frowned deeper. "Lyra, do you think I'm lying to you?"

"No," Lyra's eyes flickered as she said softly.

However, Julien could see that her words did not match how she was feeling. He pursed his lips and only felt a burst of fatigue. "Just don't care about this matter anymore. Brandon..."

"How can I not care?" Lyra clenched her fists and interrupted him. "That's my father. I can't just watch as he goes to jail. If you won't help me, then I'll find a way to do it myself!"

Then, she ran away crying.

Julien wanted to call out to her, but for some reason, he could not bring himself to.

On the second floor, Jayden leaned over the railing and looked down. "Aren't you going after her?"

"No. It'll be good to let her calm down." Julien rubbed his aching temples.

Jayden's lips pulled. "Geez. You didn't say you wouldn't help her, but she decided that you wouldn't help. It's obvious that you wanted to use another method to save Uncle Brandon, but she can't understand and even yelled at you. She's so unreasonable."

"Enough. Watch your words." Jayden chided impatiently.

Jayden scoffed. "No, I'm going to say it. I can see it clearly. You refused Lyra's request to find Hunter, and she's blaming you for that. I can finally see now that she's not as good as she usually pretends to be. She's quite narrow-minded."

Julien lowered his eyes and said nothing.

When Jayden saw that Julien did not refuse his words, his mouth fell open in shock. "No way. Julien,

do you think that Lyra is narrow-minded too?"

Julien gave him a cold look.

However, Jayden was not afraid and ran down excitedly instead. "Julien, when did you find out that Lyra was narrow-minded? Since you know, why do you still like her? What do you like about Lyra?"

What did he like about Lyra?

Julien's eyes flashed. Come to think of it, he could not remember what exactly he liked about Lyra.

He loved the girl who corresponded with him. That girl was kind, beautiful, and lively like a little sun, able to warm up everyone around her.

However, he rarely saw this in Lyra.

He even doubted several times whether Lyra was the girl who corresponded with him.

However, if it was not Lyra, then who was it?

"Julien, what are you thinking about?" Jayden saw his brother spaced out and waved his hand in front of Julien.

Julien pursed his lips. "Nothing. I'm going upstairs."

"Bro, you haven't answered my question yet." Jayden followed behind him.

Julien completely ignored him and closed the door to the room.
