Chapter 63 Brandon Madden’s Fury


    Half an hourter, Brandon returned to the Madden residence.


    As the butler greeted him, Brandon handed over his coat. "Where''s the Madam and the Young


    Miss?"


    "They''re in the room.” The butler draped the coat over his arm and replied.


    Brandon hummed in acknowledgment and walked upstairs.


    In the room upstairs, Mrs. Madden and Lyra were sitting at the end of the bed, looking at the photo


    albums together.


    Lyra pointed to a photo of herself. "Mom, do you still remember this photo?”


    Mrs. Madden stroked Lyra''s long hair lovingly. "Of course I do. It was taken when you were six years


    old. I still remember you yed hide-and-seek that year, and I couldn''t find you anywhere. I was so


    scared that I thought you went missing, but you fell asleep hiding in the attic.


    "I know. I woke up and came down from the attic myself, only to find you crying. You even called the


    police." Lyra reminisced.


    The smile on Mrs. Madden faded a little, and her eyes shed with hatred.


    It was only natural for her to cry and call the police if she lost her child. Moreover, she thought that


    Harry Raines had kidnapped her youngest daughter.


    Fortunately, it was just a false rm.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Lyra turned to the next page, and suddenly, a yellowed photo from the album floated to the ground.


    She bent down to pick it up. It was a photo of a baby about a few months old who had a gummy grin


    and was so cute that it could make people like her at first nce.


    However, for some reason, Lyra did not like her at all. On the contrary, she resented the baby in the


    photo and even hated her.


    Nevertheless, she did not express it and showed the photo to Mrs. Madden, asking with a smile,


    "Mom, is this my older sister?”


    Mrs. Madden touched the photo of her eldest daughter and nodded with her eyes wet. "Yes. She’s


    your sister, rice."


    Seeing Mrs. Madden’s love for that baby girl, Lyra could not help but feel jealous.


    She took the photo back and put it back in the album.


    Then, she held Mrs. Madden''s hand and leaned her head on the woman''s shoulder. Like a spoiled


    child, she said, "Okay, Mom. You get sad every time we mention my sister, so let’s not mention her


    anymore. I believe she wouldn''t want to see you unhappy either."


    How dare a dead person rob her mother’s attention away from her?


    It was uneptable!


    "Okay, we won''t mention her." Mrs. Madden did not know Lyra’s motive and thought that her


    youngest daughter was truly concerned about her. She smiled dotingly at Lyra.


    At that moment, the door opened, and Brandon walked in with a dark expression.


    Having noticed him first, Lyra let go of Mrs. Madden''s hands and waved at him. "Dad."


    However, Brandon simply nced at her and then ignored her.


    Lyra''s expression stiffened for a moment. Then, she bit her lip, upset. "Dad, did I do something


    wrong?"


    "Exactly, honey." Mrs. Madden looked at her husband with dissatisfaction. "Why are you looking at


    your child like that? She didn''t do anything to provoke you."


    "Who says she didn''t? Go ahead. Ask her what she did!" Brandon pointed at Lyra.


    Mrs. Madden immediately turned to Lyra.


    Lyra also looked confused.


    When Brandon realized that she did not know what was going on, he stopped beating around the


    bush and said with a cold face, "I know about your plot to harm Sydney Raines at the resort."


    Lyra''s eyes flickered with guilt. "How did you find out?"


    "How did I find out?" Brandon snorted. "She has posted thend deed on the Inte as a p to


    my face. How could I not find out? Not only did you scheme against that woman, but you also failed


    and allowed her to get a hold of you instead. Now, even that piece ofnd has been given to her as


    compensation. You..."


    He was too angry to continue speaking.


    Lyra lowered her head, knowing that she was in the wrong.


    Mrs. Madden hugged her in distress andined to her husband. "Enough already. It''s just a


    piece ofnd. Why are you so fierce to the child?"


    It was just a piece ofnd?


    Brandon trembled with anger at his wife''s words. "Do you know how important that piece ofnd is


    to us? We had invested our money and were waiting for Julien to give us thend deed so that we


    could start construction. Now that thend is gone, all the projects have to be stopped. We can''t


    afford this loss!"


    Trison Corporation had been gradually going downhill over the past few years, which was why he


    wanted to develop the first vi neighborhood and restore Trison to its peak.


    However, everything was now in vain.


    Lyra did not know anything about the business market and did not think it was a big problem. She


    stood up and said calmly, "Julien said he would give you a piece ofnd in the north."


    Brandon almost fainted. "What can thatnd in the north of the city do? It''s in the middle of


    nowhere.


    Who will buy a vi even if I construct a neighborhood there? If I can''t sell them, I’ll still lose money!"


    Was it that serious?


    Lyra finally panicked a little. "Dad...”


    "Don’t call me dad." Brandon was so angry that he did not think before he said, "You tried to target


    someone several times but ended up getting caught and forced into payingpensation. This


    time, you even pushed Trison and our family to the edge of a cliff. How could you be so stupid?


    Sure enough, you''re not my-"


    "Brandon!" Mrs. Madden’s face changed as she quickly interrupted him.


    Brandon realized that he almost said something wrong and shut his mouth in time. After a while, he


    spoke again, "In any case, make sure you win over Julien during this period of time. I''ll deal with


    Sydney. You''re not allowed to do anything to her, lest she turns your ns against you again. Do


    you hear me?"


    Lyra lowered her eyelids. "Yes."


    Brandon flung his hand and left, saying nothing more.


    After he left, Lyra took Mrs. Madden''s hand. "Mom, what did dad mean earlier? I''m not his what?"


    There was a voice in her heart telling her that she must rify that.


    Otherwise, the consequences would be too much for her to bear.


    Mrs. Madden''s eyes shed, but she quicklyposed her expression and straightened Lyra''s hair


    with a smile. "It''s nothing. Your father was just saying nonsense. Don’t worry about it. Well, you


    should rest first. Aren''t you going out for dinner with Julienter? I’ll go and coax your dad."


    Then, she left as well.


    Lyra looked at the door, her eyes dim.


    If her mother was not going to tell her, she would find out by herself. After all, she had her methods.


    As for Sydney, she had failed to kill the womanst time and even let her get away with it. However,


    she would not be so lucky next time!


    In Skylight Corporation, Sydney and Luke had juste out of the conference room after a meeting


    when Sophie stepped in front of the two.


    She first stole a nce at Luke and hid the emotion in her eyes before reporting to Sydney with a


    straight face, "President Raines, Trison Corporation called and said that President Madden wants to


    see you." "Brandon Madden wants to see me?” Sydney raised herbrows.


    "Yes, he''s already on his way here."


    Luke sneered. "Darling, he''s not even giving you the chance to refuse. By the way, did he say why


    he wanted to see my darling?"


    "No.” Sophie shook her head as she replied. Her tone was slightly gentler than when she was


    talking to Sydney.


    However, neither of them caught the difference.


    Sydney nodded. "In that case, I''ll meet him. Sophie, go brew some tea."


    "Yes." Sophie nodded.


    Sydney and Luke walked toward the office.


    Along the way, Luke stroked his chin and guessed, "Is Brandoning here because of that piece


    ofnd?"


    "It should be. I don''t think there’s any other reason besides this." Sydney pushed open the office


    door.


    Luke stayed a step behind and closed the door. "I think he probably wants thend back."


    Sydney chuckled and was just about to answer when Sophie pushed the door open a crack and


    poked her head in. "President Baines and President Chase, President Madden is here."
