My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Lyra's voice was soft and gentle, but the provocation in her words was clear as day.

Sydney simply raised her brows and smiled generously. "Since Ms. Madden spoke up first, sure. You can buy it."

Lyra did not expect Sydney to not argue with her and hand the watch over. For a moment, she did not know how to react.

"Lyra, I think Sydney just doesn't dare to offend you." The other lady leaned forward and bragged to Lyra." She has lost her backing after she divorced President Flint, and her company is on the verge of bankruptcy. That is why she doesn't dare to fight with you over anything."

Yes, the current Sydney had nothing besides a useless company.

Lyra felt very satisfied to hear her friend say that. She picked up the watch and handed it over with her bank card. "I'll pay with a card. Wrap it up for me."

Ginny did not take the card and instead asked carefully, "Miss, are you a VVIP member of our brand?"

"No." Lyra frowned, a little unhappy. "Does your shop not accept cards?"

"All our watches can be bought with a card, but not this series," Ginny said awkwardly. "For this series, you can only use a card if your purchase is over 60 million. On top of that, it's only available for customers who have been our VVIPS for more than two years."

Lyra was speechless.

"You're just a watch shop. Why are you acting so superior?" The lady beside Lyra snapped unpleasantly. "I want to speak to your manager! This is ridiculous. She has money. Why can't she buy the watch?" Ginny said, "The sales of this series of watches are subject to specific conditions. Even if our manager comes, there is nothing he can do about it."

"If we don't buy it, can this woman buy it?"

"Ms. Raines can buy it," said Ginny. "She became a VVIP customer of our brand two years ago and has accumulated enough purchases."

UH

Upon hearing Ginny, Lyra had to exert an inordinate amount of willpower to maintain her soft expression.

Sydney had watched enough of the show. She plucked the watch from Lyra's hand and handed it to Ginny. "Since Ms. Madden can't buy it, I'll take it." "Certainly." After a short while, Ginny came back with the receipt and a wrapped package.

Sydney thanked her and took the gift before leaving. When passing Lyra, she stopped and said regretfully, " Ms. Madden, there are some things that you can't buy even if I give them up to you." Those words were like a slap on Lyra's face, hot and painful.

As she stared at Sydney's departing silhouette, she recalled the words that day den said during last night's dinner, and her eyes gradually darkened.

Why does Sydney always try to take what was hers?

In a good mood after that good show, Sydney took the elevator to the underground garage and happened to bump into an acquaintance.

"Ms. Raines."

"Sharon?" Sydney quickly recognized the tall young woman in front of her.

Sharon Campbell used to be schoolmates with Luke and was supposed to join Luke's company. However, Luke knew that Sydney had no one of her own in Skylight, so he asked Sharon to help her. Sydney was very busy these days, but she knew that Sharon worked as a treasurer in the finance department and was very meticulous in her work.

"There are many people in the company. I didn't expect you to remember me, Ms. Raines." Sharon giggled. There was a small slice of cake in her hand." There's a dessert shop nearby that sells very delicious sweets. I have today off as compensation for working on a holiday earlier, so I came here to buy some dessert. What about you, Ms. Raines? Are you here to shop?"

"It's Luke's birthday today, so I'm buying him a present." Sydney waved the bag at her. "Do you have any plans for the evening?"

"No, I plan to go home, lie on the sofa, and binge a few TV episodes."

"In that case, let's go together. The more the merrier," said Sydney. "You're also friends with Luke, so we're all familiar with each other."

"If you say so, I'll be happy to oblige!" Sharon did not refuse again and pressed the elevator button. "Then, let's go to the second floor. I'll buy a lighter for Luke. I can't attend his birthday party empty-handed." Sharon's looks appeared pure and innocent, and she was fair and slender, especially beautiful, but also very lively. She was the type that could never stop talking once she started.

It was the first time Sydney found someone who talked even more than Luke, and she was dumbfounded.

When she took Sharon to Club Lunaris, Luke called."

Ugh, my grandmother insists on celebrating my birthday and has told me to go back to my family for dinner. I'll meet you at Club Lunaris around 10 p.m."

"Sure. We'll have dinner first and then wait for you in the room." Sydney hung up the phone and took Sharon to the restaurant for dinner.

After sitting down at their table, Sharon looked around and asked Sydney, "Ms. Raines, I heard capital verification is required to enter this club. Is that true?"

"Yeah. I booked the seat in Luke's name."

"Why didn't you use President Flint's name instead?" Sharon asked curiously. "Aren't you married to him? It'll be more convenient to use his card."

Sydney's expression did not change as she asked calmly, "How do you know I'm married to him?"

"Everyone knows that. It isn't a secret marriage anyway." Sharon shrugged. "But I'm curious. You're his wife, and Skylight is in such a bad state. Why isn't President Flint helping you?" Julien never so much as gave her a second glance after so many years of marriage, not to mention help her.

"He has a lot of things to deal with and has no time." Sydney looked down at the black tea in her hand. "I divorced President Flint a few weeks ago and am no longer his wife." Sharon let out an 'oh', a little confused.

However, seeing that Sydney was in a bad mood, she picked up the black tea and toasted Sydney. "Well, congratulations on your divorce and welcome back to being single! It's good to be single. You're free to do whatever you want and don't have to worry about so many things!

"If you still want to get married, you can consider Luke. You two grew up together, and he spoils you. You both are a great match!"

Sydney laughed at her teasing, and her mood improved a lot.

After dinner, Sydney and Sharon chatted as they walked. They planned to go to a private room to sing while waiting for Luke to arrive.

Just as they left the restaurant, they crossed paths with a few women.

Sydney was just about to step aside and let them pass first. Unexpectedly, among the group was Lyra and the other lady with her in the watch shop in the afternoon.

Sydney did not know what to say.

Lyra never dreamed that she would meet Sydney twice in one day, and her expression almost collapsed.

"Ms. Raines." When Lyra talked to Sydney this time, she seemed to be forcing the words out of her teeth, and she spoke very reluctantly. "I heard Skylight's financial situation isn't good, and it's necessary to verify one's capital when coming to this club."

Sydney smiled. "Yeah, I know. I used my boyfriend's card. Do you have a problem with that, Ms. Maddens?"

Lyra's lips twitched before she quickly thought of something and softly said, "I'm going to play cards with my friends, but we're short one person. Since you just happen to be here, Ms. Raines, it'll be livelier with more people. We all know each other anyway. Why don't you sit down and play a few rounds with us?"

She also introduced Sydney to the women beside her." This is Sydney Raines, the Vice President of Skylight."

Lyra spoke very politely to the women beside her and humbled her attitude a little, which made it seem like she was trying to please the women. At that, Sydney glanced at her again. She found that Lyra was wearing a black halter dress that was beautiful and flamboyant, her stronger aura suppressing the women around her.

"Who is this, Ms. Madden? Why's she so hostile to you?" Sharon moved towards Sydney and asked softly.

"My ex-husband's unforgettable first love."
