My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 61 Land Deed

"Of course!" Sydney smiled and nodded. Then, she looked at Lyra. "I have to thank you, Ms. Madden. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gotten so many benefits."

Lyra bit her lower lip and said nothing.

Julien held her waist. "Let's go."

"Bye, President Flint and Ms. Madden. We'll see you back in Port City!" Sydney waved with a grin on her face.

The two people left dejectedly.

Luke closed the door and came back. "Darling, you're amazing. You’ve wrung a fortune out of Julien by taking the Azure Heart the last time already, but you've gotten even more from him today. Their faces were pitch-black when they left. It's hilarious.”

Sydney picked up the cup at the bedside table and took a sip of water from the straw. "Such a good deal gifted itself to us. It'll be a shame not to take it."

"That's true." Luke chuckled before looking at her with a serious expression. "But darling, are we really going to drop this matter?"

"Yeah." Sydney nodded. "It’s true that we can send Lyra to prison, but that’s not necessary. Julien is right. Doing that will only aggravate the conflict between the Madden family and Skylight. A cornered rat will bite the cat. The Madden family might try to suppress Skylight with all their might."

At present, Skylight was too weak and not a match for the Madden family.

Thus, she must not use force against the Madden family.

Also understanding the stakes, Luke spun his phone with his fingers. "Although it's sad, being able to get so many things is also not bad, especially that piece of land. Brandon Madden would probably jump in anger when he finds out."

Sydney could not help but laugh at his description. "I heard a long time ago that Brandon wanted to develop a manor in Port City. His goal was to build the first villa neighborhood in Port City, but we took away the land from him. He'll definitely feel the pain from that."

Luke shrugged and gloated. "It's his fault for having a daughter who’s bad luck to her father and fiance!"

Bad luck to her father and fiance?

It sounded quite accurate. The last time when Lyra slandered Sydney for hitting her in a car accident, she ruined Brandon's elaborate celebration banquet and even gave away Julien’s carefully prepared Azure Heart.

This time, Lyra caused Sydney to fall and resulted in Julien losing a commercial port, as well as Brandon losing a plot of land. All those losses were her

bringing bad luck to her father and fiance.

At that thought, Sydney tutted twice and suddenly felt some sympathy for Brandon and Julien.

"By the way, darling.” Luke brought his face to hers. " What are you going to do with that land?"

Sydney raised her hand and pushed his face away expressionlessly. “Build a factory. Skylight needs its own factory. We can't always rely on other companies to make our goods."

She could not forget the spite and rudeness President Smith and the others showed her back at Red Plum Villa.

She never wanted to go through that a second time, nor did she want to go around begging others to make her goods.

"You’re already looking so far ahead, huh? You're amazing, darling. I support you." Luke patted her shoulder.

"Thanks." Sydney smiled, and it was rare that she did not shake his arm off.

The next day, they went back to Port City.

As soon as they got off the plane, Sydney rushed to Skylight to meet with Michael.

Michael sat down across her desk and looked at the bandage on her head with surprise. "Ms. Raines, that's..."

Sydney touched the injury on her head. A cold glint flashed in her eyes but disappeared just as quickly, and she placed a cup of coffee in front of Michael with a smile. "A rat played a trick on me."

"I see." Michael smiled and did not ask further.

Sydney took the document that Sophie had handed her. "President Idris, this is the acquisition contract for SweetHeart. Please take a look and see if anything needs to be amended?"

Sydney placed the contract on the table, turned it upside down, and pushed it to Michael.

Michael flipped through the pages. When he saw the clauses at the end saying that Skylight would not participate in the internal management of SweetHeart and that there would be no changes to the company's name, he finally nodded with satisfaction. "I see no problems with it.”

Sydney smiled in relief. Then, she picked up a pen and unscrewed it before handing it to him with the tip facing herself. "In that case, please sign here, President Idris. The finance department will

transfer the money to your account within half an hour."

Michael hummed and took the pen to sign his name on the line.

From then on, SweetHeart had become a subsidiary of Skylight.

Sydney closed the document and handed it to Sophie." Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Keep it safe." "Yes, President Raines." Sophie took the document and left.

After that, Sydney stood up. "It's getting late, President Idris. Let me treat you to lunch."

"No need. I have an appointment after this. Maybe next time." Michael waved his hand and rejected her invitation.

Sydney did not force him either, and she walked him to the elevator before going back to her office.

At that moment, the phone on her desk rang.

Sydney released the mouse and picked up the receiver. "Hello?"

"President Raines, someone from Flint Corporation is here, saying that he's delivering some kind of land deed. Will you see him?" Sophie inquired over the phone.

Sydney’s red lips slowly curled up into a grin. "Yes, of course. Who came?"

She did not expect Julien to be so proactive as to send a land deed over as soon as she came back.

"President Flint’s assistant, Zach."

"Let him in."

After hanging up the phone, Sydney stared at the office door.

Soon, the door opened, and Sophie led Zach in.

"Ms. Raines." Zach stood in front of Sydney’s desk and greeted her politely.

With a smile, Sydney pointed to the chair. "Have a seat, Zach. Sophie, pour our guest a cup of coffee."

"Yes," Sophie responded and quickly poured a cup of coffee before coming back.

Zach thanked her, pulled out the chair, and sat down. Then, he handed the two documents in his hand to Sydney. "Ms. Raines, there are two documents. One is the transfer letter for the commercial port, and the other is the land deed of the land in the city center. Please have a look at them."

"Okay. Please wait a moment. It’ll only take me a short while."

With that, Sydney flipped open one of the documents and read it carefully.

Sitting opposite her, Zach secretly sized her up, feeling more surprised the more he looked at her.

He could not imagine that the president's ex-wife had changed so much in such a short period of time. It was like she had shed her old skin completely and become someone bright and dazzling. On the other hand, Ms. Raines, whom he always thought was beautiful and kind, had become sinister and diabolical.

What a shame!

Sydney could sense Zach’s stare but could not care less about it as she quietly read the two documents.

After reading, she closed them and put them to the side. "Zach.”

"Yes?" Zach froze. However, he immediately came to his senses and pushed the rim of his glasses. "My apologies, Ms. Raines. Did you call me?"

Sydney nodded with a smile. "I’ve read the documents. Thank you for making this trip. Please convey my thanks to President Flint as well."

"Of course. I'll be sure to pass it on. In that case, I'll take my leave now." Zach stood up and said goodbye.

"Sophie, see Zach out." Sydney looked at Sophie, who was standing to the side.

"This way, please.” Sophie held her hand out in a gesture before sending the person out.

When she came back, she was surrounded by a group of colleagues.

“Sophie, that was President Flint's personal assistant, right? Why did he come to our company? Is he here to look for President Raines?"

"Did President Flint tell Zach to send something to President Raines? Last time, it was mangoes. What was it this time?"

"Say, President Flint and President Raines are divorced, but they still keep in contact regularly. Are

they going to remarry?"

Sophie shrugged her hands at the gossipy inquiries and responded helplessly, "How would I know about that? Alright, alright. Stop gossiping about your superiors and get back to work. You'll be done for if President Raines comes out to check on you."

At those words, the people stopped dallying and immediately dispersed.

Only after that did Sophie return to Sydney's office." President Raines, I've sent him away."
