Chapter 68 The Second Gift
"An attack?"
"Yes." Brandon nodded. "Lyra must have told you that she had an elder sister, right?"
Julien hummed in agreement.
An intense hatred immediately appeared in Brandon''s eyes as his face distorted. "Her name was
rice. She was our first daughter, but she was kidnapped when she was very young. Later, we
called the police and angered the kidnapper, so he ended up drowning rice. That was when Mrs.
Madden’s mental state began to drift off, until..."
Brandon''s eyes flickered. "Until Lyra was born, which sced her, and she got better. However, I
can''t believe that Lyra would get kidnapped and cause Mrs. Madden’s illness to rpse after more
than 20 years!"
Julien lifted his chin slightly in understanding.
Mrs. Madden was worried that if they called the police this time and angered the kidnapper, they
would also kill Lyra.
"In that case, I''ll call a securitypany and hire a group of people to save Lyra."
N?velDrama.Org owns this.
Julien was just about to call when a phone rang. This time, it was Brandon’s.
Brandon let Mrs. Madden go and took out his phone.
The caller ID was an unfamiliar number, and he could not even tell which city it was from.
He hesitated for a few seconds but answered it. "This is Brandon Madden."
"I heard you’re looking for me?" The tone of the man’s voice on the phone was light but cold.
Brandon frowned. "Who are you?"
"Have you forgotten me so soon? I told youst time that I had a second gift for you." The man
cackled, but it only gave Brandon goosebumps.
Brandon suddenly recalled the man, and the expression on his face shifted. He gritted out two
words between his teeth. "It''s you!"
The fox man from thest time was still fresh in his memory!
Julien looked at Brandon suspiciously. "What''s wrong?”
Brandon''s hand that was squeezing the phone trembled, but he did not respond.
On the phone, the fox manughed cheerfully. "It''s me. I heard you were looking for me, so I took
the initiative to show up. Are you touched?"
"Who said we were looking for you?" Brandon was so angry that even his neck was flushed.
He would be insane to look for this madman.
"You''re looking for the person who took Lyra Madden, right? Isn''t that the same as looking for me?”
the fox man said sinisterly.
Brandon suddenly stood up. "You''re the one who took Lyra?”
Julien’s eyes widened, his gaze fixed on the phone in Brandon''s hand.
As the most anxious one out of the three, Mrs. Madden grabbed the phone. "Who are you? Why did
you kidnap my daughter? Please let her go. I''ll give you whatever you want."
"You''ll give me whatever I want? Really?” The fox man''s tone sounded yful.
Mrs. Madden nodded repeatedly. "Yes. You can have as much money as you want!”
"I don''t want money. How about this? As long as you give me Trison Corporation, I''ll let your
daughter go immediately.” The fox manughed wickedly.
At that, Mrs. Madden''s expression froze.
Brandon snatched the phone back. "In your dreams!"
There was no way the fox man was getting Trison Corporation.
The fox man did not get angry either. "I''m just joking. Don''t worry. I never nned on exchanging
Lyra Madden for Trison Corporation anyway. After all, I know very well that Lyra Madden isn''t worth
it." "Then why did you kidnap Lyra?” Julien clenched his fists in his trouser pocket and spoke in a
cold voice.
The fox man was a little surprised. "So President Flint is there too."
Julien was not surprised that the person knew him. After all, if the person had a grudge against the
Madden family, he had to know all of the Madden family''swork of people. As such, it was not
surprising that he knew Julien.
"Answer me! What do you want?" Julien asked again.
The fox man stoppedughing, and his voice turned grim. "What I want is simple. She harmed the
person I care most about, so I''ll make her pay a painful price."
Harmed?
Julien lowered his eyes and thought about it.
Lyra had only harmed one person recently, and that was Sydney.
"So the person you care about is Sydney Raines?" Julien clenched his fists tightly, the air around
him cold.
At the restaurant, he had just been thinking about all the men around her, and now, here came
another one. Maybe this one would not be thest either. Maybe more men had yet shown up.
It seemed like she had befriended arge number of men behind his back before their marriage.
What an upstanding woman she was!
"It''s Sydney. Sydney harmed our Lyra!" Mrs. Madden''s eyes widened and overflowed with tears
again. "Why? Why can''t both my daughters escape the clutches of the Raines family?”
Julien''s eyes shed at those words.
It was no wonder the Madden family hated the Raines family so much.
It turned out that rice Madden''s death was rted to the Raines family.
"You''re wrong, Mrs. Madden. It was your daughter who harmed Sydney first, so don''t me me for
laying hands on her. President Madden, turn on theputer. I’ll let you see your daughter. This is
my second gift to you,” the man said before he cackled again.
"Get theputer!" Brandon ordered in a fury.
Soon, the butler brought theputer over.
As soon as Brandon turned it on, a face wearing a fox mask popped up on the screen, startling
Brandon and his wife.
Julien’s eyes were locked on the fox man, trying to find any tattoos, moles, or other markings on the
man''s exposed skin.
He would be able to find the fox man based on the markings.
Unfortunately, the fox man’s body was clean, and
there was nothing to see.
"Where’s my daughter? You said you’d let me see my daughter! Where is she?!" Mrs. Madden
grasped the sides of theputer and asked frantically.
The fox man sat on an armchair with his legs crossed. In his hand was a ss of red wine, which
he swirled gently. "Don’t be in such a hurry, Mrs. Madden. You''ll see her soon."
Then, theputer screen was divided in two. The left side was the fox man, and the right side was
Lyra.
Lyra was currently tied to a chair with her head slightly lowered and unresponsive. She was
probably unconscious.
Behind her stood arge muscled man whose face was covered with a mask. They could only see
his eyes and mouth but none of his other features.
That image almost made Mrs. Madden copse. "Lyra!"
Brandon also red furiously at the fox man.
Meanwhile, Julien asked with a frosty face, "What did you do to Lyra?"
"Don''t worry. She’s fine. Dan, wake her." The fox man propped his head up and ordered.
Therge man behind Lyra responded and stepped out of the frame to bring a bucket of water.
Then, he sshed it all over Lyra.
"Ah!” Lyra woke up with a scream.
"Lyra!" Mrs. Madden hurriedly cried out.
Lyra was stunned for a moment before she responded loudly, "Mom? Mom, is that you?"
"It''s me. It''s me." Mrs. Madden covered her mouth and sobbed.
Lyra also cried as she looked around. "Mom, where are you? Why can''t I see you? I''m scared.
Hurry up and save me."
"Don’t be scared, Lyra. Mom will save you. Your dad and Julien are here too. They''ll save you," Mrs.
Madden said. Then, she pulled Brandon and Julien’s sleeves, signaling them to speak.
Brandon said, "Don’t worry, Lyra. Dad will definitely save you."
"I''m here too." Julien looked at the miserable Lyra on the screen and softened his tone as much as
possible to soothe her. "There doesn’t seem to be a camera on your side, so you can’t see us, but
don''t be scared.
We''re watching over you.”
Her parents and beloved already knew that she had been kidnapped and were discussing how to
rescue her. Hence, the fear in Lyra''s heart finally alleviated, but it was reced by intense hatred
instead.
She had woken up once when they were talking and heard that she was kidnapped because of
Sydney.
She would definitely get her revenge on Sydney!
