My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

"Spill it. What exactly do you want from me to let my daughter go?" Brandon glared at the fox man on the computer.

The fox man put down his wine glass. "Don't worry. I won't do anything to your daughter. I told you. I just want to teach her a lesson. When she learns her lesson, I'll naturally let her go." After saying that, he snapped his fingers.

The masked man beside Lyra dropped the bucket in his hand and walked behind Lyra.

Frightened, Lyra turned pale and kept screaming. "Let me go. Let me go! Don't touch me. Go away! Go away... Julien, save me..."

Julien pounded his fist on the table and roared madly. "Let Lyra go!"

Brandon and Mrs. Madden also hurriedly begged the fox man to stop.

Despite that, the fox man was unmoved. "It must hurt to see your beloved daughter and fiance being harmed, right? Then, have you ever thought I would hurt too when your daughter and fiance harmed Sydney?"

A cold glint flashed in the fox man's eyes behind his mask. "Dan, continue!"

"Yes," the masked man answered.

"B*stard!" Julien could not resist the urge to kill the man.

Brandon and Mrs. Madden almost went mad with anger as well.

Brandon glared at the fox man. "If you dare to get your man to lay a hand on my daughter, I swear on my name that I'll do whatever it takes to ruin Sydney Raines! At most, I'll make sure that I drag her to hell with me!"

The fox man laughed instead of getting angry. "That wasn't my intention from the beginning. I don't plan to get anyone to sully your daughter. However, if she dares to harm Sydney again, don't blame me for going ahead with it. I promise you that I'll ruin the Madden family before you can ruin Sydney. Don't doubt it. You know I can do it."

Then, the fox man cut off the video feed.

However, the next second, another sentence appeared on the desktop screen: [If you want to save Lyra Madden, get here within half an hour. If you don't arrive on time, don't blame me for having her stripped and thrown on the street.]

At the end of that sentence was an address.

Julien wrote down the address and immediately turned around to leave the Madden residence.

Brandon knew Julien was going to save Lyra, so he told Mrs. Madden to stay at home before hurriedly following Julien.

Half an hour later, the two found the place where Lyra was being held.

It was an abandoned industrial park, and Lyra was being held in a warehouse.

When Julien, along with his men, found Lyra, she was the only one left in the warehouse. The masked man had already left.

Julien looked at Lyra curled up in the chair with her eyes closed. Her cheeks were flushed and she kept gasping for air. He immediately knew that she might be having a fever.

His heart sank as he rushed forward to untie the rope on her body and took off his jacket to cover her. Then, he picked her up and walked out of the warehouse.

As soon as he was at the door of the warehouse, Brandon rushed over. "How's Lyra?"

"She has a fever. I have to take her to the hospital immediately!"

After that, Julien ignored him and carried Lyra to the car.

They soon arrived at the hospital, and Lyra was sent to the emergency room.

Having just settled the bill, Luke returned to the surgical department with a mysterious expression. "Darling, guess what I just saw."

Sydney sat on a sofa, and a nurse stood beside her dressing the wound on her head.

She could not move, so she could only glance at him from the corner of her eyes. "What did you see?"

Luke chuckled. "I saw Lyra Madden. She was sent to the emergency room. Are you happy?"

Happy, her *ss!

Sydney rolled her eyes at him and asked doubtfully," What happened to her? Why is she in the emergency room?"

Luke rubbed his chin and guessed, "I don't know, but judging from Brandon and Julien's faces, it seems quite serious. Maybe something happened to Lyra while she was missing. Darling, why don't we go and have a look?"

"No. This matter has nothing to do with us, so let's stay out of it. We might end up inviting trouble to ourselves if we go." Sydney's attractive eyebrows furrowed as she spoke. "That's true." Luke nodded.

After taking the medicine, the two left the surgical department and were ready to leave.

Just as they reached the lobby, a low voice stopped them. "Sydney!"

It was Julien!

Sydney stopped and turned around.

Julien left the cashier with the payment slip and stopped two steps away from her.

"President Flint, it's quite late. What can I do to you?" Sydney smiled at him.

Luke looked at his watch impatiently. "Exactly. If you have anything to say, say it quickly. It's almost 10 p.m. We have to go back and rest."

At the word 'rest', Julien frowned for a moment. His already cold and sullen face grew darker. "Let me ask you. How many people did you two tell about Lyra harming you, and who were they?" Since the fox man had kidnapped Lyra because of Sydney, Sydney would be the starting point. He should be able to find out who the fox man was from her.

"Why do you ask that?" Sydney looked at him suspiciously.

Julien did not answer her question and asked again," Answer me!"

"Hey." Luke took a step forward in front of Sydney." President Flint, you don't want to answer my darling, yet you force her to answer you. Aren't you a hypocrite?" Julien ignored Luke and looked deeply at Sydney.

Sydney understood his gaze and felt a sharp pain in her heart. She clenched her fists and remained silent for two seconds before answering, "One. I told Layden Lowe." Cayden Lowe?

Julien's eyes narrowed for a moment. He quickly remembered that it was that male model who was following her around some time ago.

"What about you?" Julien shifted his gaze from Sydney to Luke's face.

Furious, Luke laughed. "Julien Flint, are you f*cking interrogating us? Do you have-"

"Luke!" Sydney tugged Luke when she felt the air around Julien grow colder. "Answer him."

Although Luke was unwilling, he listened to her and said in a sullen tone, "No one. Are you satisfied with that answer? Let's go, darling. He's insane. Why's he asking that all of a sudden?"

As he said that, he pulled Sydney and walked away to the hospital gate.

Julien did not stop them anymore. He simply stood in place as he watched them walk away.

At that moment, Zach came to him with a phone in his hand. "President Flint, you're here."

"What's wrong?" Julien looked away from the hospital entrance.

Zach responded, "Ms. Madden has come out of the emergency room, and President Madden told me to call you over." "Got it," Julien said indifferently. Then, he pursed his lips and ordered, "Do a background check on Cayden Lowe. I want to know if he's the fox man!"

He may have only met Cayden once or twice, but the clearest memory he had of Cayden was during the banquet celebrating Lyra's recovery. Cayden's gaze when he looked at Sydney was not simple at all. It was the gaze of a man looking at a woman.

That point alone perfectly fit the fox man's concern for Sydney, and Cayden was the only one Sydney told about Lyra harming her. Thus, Cayden was most likely the fox man. "Understood," Zach replied seriously.

With that, Julien turned around and went into the elevator.

Meanwhile, in the car, Luke was still grumbling about Julien. In the passenger seat, Sydney slapped his arm and snapped, "Enough. You're making my head hurt."

Luke pouted but shut his mouth.

Sydney rubbed her temples. "You've been grumbling since just now. Haven't you figured out why he asked those questions?"
