My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 7 She Betrayed Him

Sydney grew curious at Layden's mysterious behavior. "Tell me first, and then I'll decide whether to go or not."

Layden sighed helplessly. "It won't be a surprise if I tell you."

Sydney could not help but laugh when she saw his bitter appearance.

When Julien came out the door, he just so happened to see a man lowering his head and approaching Sydney to say something in her ear.

Sydney was smiling happily, and her bright eyes shone brilliantly.

He was just about to get into the car, but he stopped and turned around to stare coldly at the pair. The bone -chilling coldness in his eyes was like ice.

She had never smiled like that after they got married.

All he heard from her was endless nagging and trivial stuff. There was a cautious look in her eyes every time she looked at him.

He did not like her like that. In fact, he found it annoying.

However, he did not think she would look like a different person after the divorce. She was shining brightly from the inside out.

Was it because of that man?

Julien sneered.

A woman who cheats and does not love herself was not worth his attention!

"Sir?" Zach saw that his boss was not getting into the car and carefully reminded him.

Julien looked away and sat in the car. "Let's go."

Zach did not know if it was his imagination, but he felt that Julien was very angry. His expression was so scary...

Sydney had just sat in the passenger seat when she saw Julien leave from the corner of her eyes.

The moment the car started to move, she looked out at the trees flying by in a daze.

Layden saw her despondency, and the emotion in his eyes faded slightly. "What are you thinking about?"

Sydney returned to her senses and smiled. "It's nothing."

Layden's features were more three-dimensional from the side, and he looked like he was of mixed- descent.

Julien was a famous school hunk back in the day, but Layden was no less inferior. He had wide shoulders, a thin waist, and long legs comparable to international supermodels.

"You... Why did you choose the modeling industry?"

Sydney thought that he would go into academia since his grades were good.

"I just casually auditioned, but somehow, I ended up entering the modeling industry." He looked at Sydney through the mirror and pretended to ask nonchalantly, "You don't like the modeling industry?"

Sydney shook her head with a soft gaze. "That’s not it. As long as you excel and shine in your own field, it's all the same."

A smile appeared in the young man’s eyes, and he braked steadily. "We’re here."

In front of them was a rather old-fashioned two-story house, and an old man with white hair was sitting on a rattan chair, drinking tea.

The old man turned around and smiled faintly at her." My girl."

Sydney froze in disbelief.

The old man sighed. "I know all about what happened.

I'm so sorry, my girl."

With tears in her eyes, she flung herself into the old man’s lap. "Grandpa, where have you been all these years?"

Six years ago, Skylight Corporation's funds were stolen, with the evidence pointing to her father. Not only was he expelled by the board of directors, but he also had to face jail time.

Since her stepmother and stepsister fled with the money, her father ended up jumping off the building.

The old man said, "I’ve been looking into the stolen company funds and found out that it's related to Trison Corporation. Your father was the scapegoat.” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Trison Corporation was the largest real estate company in Port City, and their chairman was Brandon Madden, Lyra's father.

As Sydney pondered, the old man took out a document and placed it in her hands. "Girl, this is 51 percent of Skylight's shares. Don't ask me how I got them. I know that you need this."

Sydney pursed her lips with a solemn expression. "I'll find the person who framed Father and prove his innocence. I won't let you down."
