Chapter 97 He's the One Who Cheated
[I think so too. Just like Ms. Raines said, President Flint could've rejected her, and she wouldn't have forced him. However, President Flint did not refuse. That means he willingly married Ms. Raines, and he emotionally abused her. I'm speechless.]
[I wonder whether President Flint really likes Ms. Madden. If he really does, would he have agreed to marry Ms. Raines? He would've waited for Ms. Madden to wake up, right?] Reading those comments, Lyra bit her lower lip fiercely while her eyes turned red in jealousy.
She knew better than anyone who Julien actually loved. The person he loved had always been Sydney. He thought that he loved Lyra because she impersonated Sydney, the person who corresponded with him.
If one day, he found out that the person who really corresponded with him was Sydney, he would immediately take back his feelings for Lyra and give them to Sydney.
Meanwhile, Hunter also saw those comments and clicked his tongue. "Julien, I think you're a scumbag as well. I find it unbearable just listening to what Sydney said, but I can't believe she had to live like that for six years. It's so obvious that she truly loved you, but you're not worthy of her love."
Julien clenched his fist quietly, feeling a dull ache in his heart.
All along, he thought that she was despicable for taking advantage of Lyra's coma to marry him, so he subconsciously ignored the fact that he could have rejected her. He knew what kind of life she was leading in the Flint residence, yet he had never thought of helping her.
He was the one who had wronged her!
"Having said all this, I believe everyone now knows that I didn't put myself in between President Flint and Ms. Madden's relationship." Sydney looked at the reporters below.
The reporters laughed awkwardly.
For her to say that in front of so many reporters and the tens of millions of viewers in the live broadcast, there was no way it could be fake.
That was because once it was found to be false, Skylight Corporation and her would suffer the most severe repercussions, and she would not be able to afford the consequences.
"In that case, how do you explain the part about you pestering your ex-husband, Ms. Raines?" the reporter from before asked.
"First of all, I didn't pester him. Port City is as big as it can get, and we're both in the business industry, so it's only inevitable that we would meet. As for why
President Flint and I were together at the stadium yesterday..."
A hint of annoyance flashed in Sydney's eyes. "It was because we both received tickets from President Flint's brother. If I had known that President Flint would be there, no one would have been able to convince me to go."
Hunter slapped his thigh and burst out into laughter." Julien, you're being snubbed. It seems like Sydney was serious when she said she doesn't love you anymore. Hahahaha@"
Julien glanced at him coldly and then back at Sydney again. His gaze was filled with a mix of feelings.
Did she really not love him anymore?
"I know people might not believe me, but it's fine because everyone thinks differently. However, I have something else to say. Why would I want to pester a man who would throw his own wife out of the house for the sake of his mistress?" Sydney sneered.
Lyra's heart began to race as a bad feeling overcame her.
What was that supposed to mean?
Julien also frowned, not understanding what Sydney was up to.
Realized that Sydney might be up to something, the reporters on-site quickly asked, "Could you explain what you meant by that, Ms. Raines?"
"Of course." A cold glint flashed in Sydney's eyes, and she said slowly, "I'm sure everyone here knows of the rumors on the Internet saying that I had an affair, which was why President Flint divorced me. Now, would like to tell everyone that the person who actually had an affair wasn't me but President Flint."
All she wanted was to live a good life and grow Skylight to avenge her father. However, the Flint family and people like Lyra kept causing trouble for her and making things difficult for her.
In that case, why should she care about their reputation?
The crowd was in an uproar.
Was she serious?
President Flint cheated?
Hunter looked at Julien playfully. "Julien, it seems like Kate Morgan really pissed her off this time."
Julien remained silent. However, his handsome face darkened, and his presence became more intimidating.
He cheated?
She was the one who cheated!
Julien felt uncomfortable when he thought of the men around Sydney.
"Ms. Raines, is that the truth?" The reporter's hands were trembling with excitement.
President Flint had an affair.
That was huge news. There would be no shortage of headlines for the following week.
"Of course it is." Sydney nodded. "Even before Julien Flint divorced me, he often went behind my back and secretly had private meetings with Lyra Madden in the hospital. He even told me to move out of the Flint residence to make room for Lyra."
"God, how could that be?" The crowd was shocked.
Hunter also looked at Julien in surprise. "Julien, did you really do that?"
Julien's thin lips twitched, but he could not deny it.
Hunter's gaze turned odd. "What the hell were you thinking, Julien? Even if you could not wait to be with Lyra, you shouldn't have made Sydney move out of the Flint residence. There are so many rooms in the Flint residence. Don't you have a guest room at least?"
"Lyra didn't want to see Sydney." Julien lowered his eyes and answered in a hoarse voice.
Hunter laughed in exasperation. "If Lyra didn't want to see Sydney, Lyra could've stayed somewhere else.
Why did you have to bring her into the Flint residence? H
Julien's throat bobbed slightly as he ignored Hunter.
In fact, he also knew that he was in the wrong.
However, Lyra had just woken up back then, and he
could not bear to let her down.
"I know people may say President Flint and Ms. Madden are in love, so it's normal for them to do this. However, what I'm trying to say is that I hadn't divorced President Flint yet at that time, so it was wrong from a moral standpoint for them to have done that."
The crowd could not refute.
Indeed, no matter how much President Flint and Ms. Madden loved each other, it was immoral of them to have done that.
Lyra's body trembled with anger.
How dare she?!
Sydney was saying this to humiliate Julien and her. Although the two did not really have a relationship, Julien's actions were considered emotional cheating because he had an affair when he was married to her.
Lyra, on the other hand, was the third party who got between Julien and Sydney's marriage. Even if she married Julien later on, she would not get as many blessings from others and would be mocked and ridiculed by them instead. That was Sydney's motive.
What Lyra could figure out, Julien naturally could as well. However, he was not angry at all.
"Well then, I believe I've explained everything I needed to, and I have done so very clearly. I never got between President Flint and Ms. Madden, nor did I pester
President Flint. I hope something like this will never happen again in the future."
As she spoke, her eyes narrowed sharply. "Of course, the perpetrator of this incident, Miss Kate Morgan, has severely damaged my reputation and that of Skylight Corporation. Hence, I have decided to sue her. I will also be suing 20 marketing accounts, as well as the 300 netizens who cursed me the most."
20 marketing accounts and 300 netizens?
The crowd gasped, shocked by that number. All of them marveled at her boldness.
"Ms. Raines, are you really going to sue them?" a reporter asked for confirmation. "Aren't you afraid of causing public outrage?"
Sydney responded expressionlessly, "Since I've decided to sue them, I naturally won't be afraid of that. All I'm doing is defending my rights. To those marketing accounts and netizens, I want to tell them that the Internet is not a lawless place. Wait for my summons."
After that, she put down the microphone and walked towards the conference room door with her crutches.
Sophie followed behind her.
On the other hand, Luke stayed behind to make a final statement for the conference.
The viewers on the live broadcast channel were stunned by Sydney's tactics. No one had expected that she would actually sue them.
For a moment, many netizens hurriedly deleted their comments, fearing that they would be on the list of lawsuits.
Kate also panicked and hurriedly picked up her phone to call Lyra.
