Chapter 289 Razor


    Sydney thought that after Lyra woke up and found out about what happened to herself, she would


    fall into a slump and be quiet.


    Sydney felt that she had underestimated how shameless Lyra could get.


    Of course, such a vicious woman like Lyra would not keep quiet just because of an incident like that.


    She would only get crazier.


    When Sydney thought about that, she pursed her lips and opened Lyra''s social media ount. She


    immediately saw the statement Lyra released.


    This statement had already be a trend, and there were more than a millionments. A lot of


    larger mediapanies had already used this as headlines and created a discussion.


    Sydney''s face darkened as she opened thements section. Manyizensforted Lyra, and


    Sydney felt like retching.


    Brandon''s video not long ago had already helped Lyra clean up the mess by a great deal, and now


    her statement turned her into aplete victim. Except for those who knew Lyra personally, or


    those who disliked her, everyone else basically stopped mocking Lyra for getting vited. All they


    gave her was their sympathy.


    Lyra was indeed Brandon Madden''s daughter. Their methods were so simr.


    Sydney sneered and stopped looking through thements. She came out from Lyra’s ount


    and entered her own.


    Just as she went, notifications popped up one after another, and her phone wasgging behind. It


    only returned to normal after one whole minute.


    When Sydney saw all the angry emojis and capped wordings on her ount, her heart sank.


    She opened her personal chat box and saw all sorts of curse words. There were also various


    enraged stickers and emojis.


    Sydney’s expression was solemn, but she was not surprised since she saw iting.


    She would not have entered her own ount unprepared.


    Lyra’s statement mentioned her name and said that it was her who nned Lyra''s entire incident.


    Theseizens naturally believed her and came to Sydney''s ount to scold her.


    When Sydney thought about that, she clicked on "Add ament" and released a statement as


    well.


    Her words were simple. "I didn''t n Lyra''s incident. You and I both know it @ LyraMadden."


    A lot of theizens who had been paying attention to Sydney’s ount saw her statement right


    away.


    When they saw her statement, none of them believed her and even increased their malicious


    comments. Sydney believed that some even hired people on the Inte just to add to their angry


    remarks. Within two to three minutes, herments section grew to thousands.


    When Sydney saw the situation, she bit her lip and exited the app in irritation. Out of sight, out of


    mind.


    Just then, her phone rang.


    Sydney nced at it with annoyance and saw that it was an unknown number.


    Sydney hesitated before answering, "Who''s on the line?"


    "Is this Ms. Raines?" a woman asked from the other side.


    "Yes," Sydney answered as she rubbed her eyebrows.


    When the woman heard that Sydney had confirmed her identity, she became incredibly excited.


    "Hello, Ms. Raines, I''m from Wave Entertainment. Ms. Madden said in her statement that you


    nned her incident. What’s your opinion on this?"


    When Sydney heard that, she tightened her grip on the phone and her expression changed. "How


    did you get my number?" The woman was stunned at first, but she quickly brushed it off and


    decided to ignore Sydney directly. "Ms. Raines, answer me first. Did you n Ms. Madden''s


    incident?"


    Sydney''s expression was cold when she hung up.


    She would not entertain a reporter like that. If she did, then she would just carry on with her


    questions and they would get more difficult.


    So, she hung up.


    To prevent this reporter from calling her again, she cklisted the number.


    Just when Sydney wanted to do that, another call came through and it was once again from an


    unknown number.


    Sydney guessed that it must have been the woman from earlier using a different phone. If not, then


    it would be other reporters.


    She directly hung up and dragged it to the cklist as well.


    Things did not end there. In the next hour or so, unknown numbers kept calling, and she also kept


    receiving messages from random people which involved curses and swear words. Sydney was tired


    of it all.


    She wanted to turn off her phone, but when she thought about some of her clients who might call


    her, she could only endure it. She decided to not open the messages instead.


    "President Raines!" Sophie walked in anxiously.


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Sydney opened her eyes. "What is it?"


    "President Raines, a lot ofizens came to our building. They said they wanted to send you razors


    and even wreaths..." Sophie stole a nce at Sydney and muttered softly.


    Sydney’s expression hardened as a sense of anger and grievance welled up inside her.


    She did nothing wrong and yet she had to deal with everyone’s hatred and curses.


    When Sophie noted that Sydney was trembling, she asked in concern," President Raines, are you


    alright?"


    Sydney shook her head. "I''m fine. Get security to catch them all and send them to the police


    station."


    ’’Alright." Sophie nodded immediately. She suddenly remembered something and added, "There''s


    something else. The things on the Inte are getting out of hand and our stock market has


    crashed. President Dayton gave his orders for you to settle this matter quickly, or return the


    management rights to him."


    “Stephen Dayton!" Sydney mmed the table and stood up. "Now that our stock market is crashing,


    he only cares about the management rights?”


    "Exactly." Sophie nodded angrily as well.


    Sophie added, "A lot of directors agree with President Dayton this time. This matter is targeted


    against you, President Raines.


    They think you caused the trouble, so they already nned for a general stockholder meeting soon


    to decide if you''re qualified for the management rights."


    Sydney was speechless.


    It was true. Skylight Corporation''s stock market was affected this time because of her.


    Although she did nothing to Lyra, Lyra threw the me at her and she had no way of proving herself


    innocent.


    Unless Finn stood out and confessed. After all, he was the mastermind.


    As Sydney thought about that, she pinched her nose bridge and said with a fatigued voice, "I


    understand. Tell Stephen Dayton that I''ll settle this matter."


    "Yes." Sophie threw a worried nce at Sydney and left the office.


    Sydney took her phone and called Finn.


    The call got through and it was ringing, but Finn did not pick up. Sydney''s heart sank.


    Did he do this on purpose, or could he be busy?


    Sydney frowned and tapped her fingers against the table uneasily.


    Suddenly, her phone rang.


    She thought it was Finn and picked up her phone quickly.


    When she saw that it was Hunter, she sighed and picked up her phone in disappointment.


    At the same time, in Flint Corporation.


    Julien had just walked out of the conference room after a meeting. Zach had a heavy expression as


    he walked over." President Flint, something happened to Ms. Raines."


    "What is it?" Julien halted his footsteps and asked anxiously.


    Zach pushed his sses and said, "Lyra released a statement on her social media saying that Ms.


    Raines nned her incident. Everyone believed her and went to Ms. Raines'' social media ount


    to attack her. They even sent wreaths and razors to Skylight Corporation. The reporters had also


    surrounded Skylight Corporation trying to interview her.”
