Chapter 310 Mrs. Madden''s Plea
Sydney was looking through reports when she heard her phone vibrate. When she grabbed her
phone and saw this message, she hurriedly sent him a voice message. " How are you now?"
Finn stretched out his hand to hail a cab. When he got in, he typed: [I’m fine. I didn''t admit to the
usations, but the police probably know that I''m an aplice.
However, since neither the police nor Lyra can produce any evidence, they can''t arrest me unless
they find those six men.]
Sydney sighed in relief, and then asked, " Where are those six men? Will they get caught?"
Finn typed: [No. I already changed their names and sent them abroad. They''ll nevere back in
their lives.]
In other words, the police would never catch those six men.
If those six men could not confess that Finn called them, then the entire crime would be borne by
Lyra alone.
Sydney nodded to show her understanding. "That''s good."
After a few more words, the two ended their conversation.
At that moment, Sophie knocked at the door and came in. "President Raines, Prison''s Mrs. Madden
and Eldest Miss Madden are here and want to see you."
This “Eldest Miss Madden" had be a popr topic of conversation in Port City.
Two days ago, this Eldest Miss Madden suddenly appeared, and the Madden family announced her
identity to the public. It was only then that the public knew that Lyra was not the only daughter of the
Madden family. It turned out that the eldest daughter had been stolen away when she was a child.
However, the person that people talked about now had be the Youngest Miss Madden instead.
"Mrs. Madden?” Sydney narrowed her eyes. "What''s she here for?"
Sophie shook her head. "I''m not sure, but I guess it might have something to do with Lyra’s affair."
"Is that so? Then just ignore them." Sydney waved.

Sophie looked at her. "You mean you won''t be seeing them?" "That’s right.” Sophie pushed up her
sses." Understood. I''ll have someone ask them to leave."
Then, she turned around and walked toward the door.
However, just as she reached the door, someone pushed it from the outside before she could open
it.
Mrs. Madden came in with rice, followed by the receptionist behind them.
The receptionist saw Sophie and smiled bitterly. "Sophie, I didn''t mean to let them up, but they
insisted and even threatened me, saying that they would kill themselves if I told security to chase
them out..."
Sophie looked at the Madden mother and daughter, and rubbed her aching temples. Then, she
turned around and looked at Sydney inside. "President Raines..." Sydney naturally heard what the
receptionist said. She nced at Mrs. Madden coldly and pursed her red lips. "I''ll handle it. You and
Mandy can return to your posts and continue working."
"Understood," Sophie answered.
Mandy, the receptionist, also breathed arge sigh of relief.
It seemed like Sydney did not me her for not stopping the two women.
After they left, only Sydney and the Madden mother and daughter were left in the office.
Sydney leaned back in her chair and raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Madden and rice, who were
walking over.
Although Sydney was young, she had been in a high-ranking position for several months and
possessed the aura to match it.
Thus, when she looked at Mrs. Madden like that, Mrs. Madden felt somewhat pressured.
After all, Mrs. Madden had been a wealthy housewife for decades and only knew how to spend
money to indulge herself. She did look imposing at all.
Moreover, because of Trison Corporation and Lyra''s matters, her presence diminished further.
Mrs. Madden felt the pressure Sydney was exerting on her despite being so young. Although she
was dissatisfied, she had to hold back when she thought of her purpose ining here.
She wiped the reddish corners of her eyes and took a deep breath. Calming her inner emotions,
she forced a smile at Sydney and greeted, "Ms. Raines..."
"Have a seat." Sydney pointed to the chair across her.
Mrs. Madden looked at the chair and pulled it out to sit down.
Sydney did not look at Mrs. Madden but set her eyes on rice beside her. She curled her red lips
and pretended to ask curiously, "Mrs. Madden, is this your eldest daughter you recently found?"
"Yes, she''s my eldest daughter, rice." Mrs. Madden held rice''s hand, patting it intimately. Her
face was full of affection. It was obvious that she truly loved rice.
Sydney knew that the more Mrs. Madden liked rice, the better it would be for Hunter and her to
follow up with their n.
However, she felt vaguely ufortable when she saw Mrs. Madden spoil rice. She even found
it an eyesore.
She thought, I must be insane!"
Sydney shook her head slightly, suppressing this inexplicable emotion in her heart, and smiled
faintly. "Hello, Ms. Madden."
"Hello, Ms. Raines." rice also pretended not to know Sydney. After giving a timid reply, she hid
behind Mrs. Madden, acting very shy.
Sydney knew how she was and did not find anything strange in her behavior. She hummed and
turned her gaze back to Mrs. Madden. "What can I do for you, Mrs. Madden?"
Mrs. Madden smiled sheepishly. "Well, I''m here for Lyra."
Sydney''s eyes shed.
So, it was true!
She looked at Mrs. Madden, who changed her attitude to Sydney one hundred and eighty degrees,
and asked with a smile that did not reach her eyes. "Hm? For Second Miss Madden?"
Yes, ever since the Madden family announced that there was an "Eldest" Miss Madden, Lyra
became the "Second” Miss.
"Yes." Mrs. Madden sighed as her eyes reddened again.
Sydney guessed where Lyra''s red-eye problem came from every time she pretended to be
innocent. She learned it from her mother.
"Ms. Raines." Mrs. Madden sped her hands and stared at Sydney. "Ms. Raines, I know that Lyra
shouldn''t have framed you, but... but she only did it on impulse. Can you...?" "You want to ask me if
I can let her off the hook, right?" Sydney interrupted her with a vague smile.
Mrs. Madden saw the mockery on Sydney''s face and felt ufortable, but she could only endure
it for Lyra''s sake. She nodded repeatedly. "Yes, Ms. Raines. I''m here today because of that. As long
as you''re willing to let Lyra go. I''ll... I''ll give you 5 million!"
She held up one hand. "What do you think?"
The smile on Sydney''s face did not change. She remained silent.
On the contrary, rice bit her lower lip behind Mrs. Madden, feeling unhappy.
5 million!
''5 million is a huge amount of money, but Mom is willing to fork out that much just to save Lyra. It''s
clear that even if Lyra isn''t as important in Mom''s heart as she was before, Mom still doesn''t want to
give her up.
''It seems like I have to work harder to weaken Mom''s affection for Lyra so that I can sessfully
drive her away.''
Seeing Sydney remain silent, Mrs. Madden was a little annoyed in her heart, thinking that Sydney
found the amount too little.
Thus, she gritted her teeth and held up her other hand. "I''ll add another 5 million. I''ll give you 10
million total. What do you think?"
"You''re very generous, Mrs. Madden. However, can you fork out 10 million?"
Sydney leaned her head on her palm and said mockingly, "I heard that when
President Flint broke off the engagement with the Madden family, he also broke off all cooperation
with Trison Corporation. Everyone in the outside world knows about that, and there were some
companies who followed suit and broke off their partnerships with Trison. Trison Corporation even
dropped from the top ten enterprises in Port City to the bottom twenty, and your funds were severely
reduced. Furthermore, Lyra’s arrestst night caused another bacsh to thepany and
resulted in serious losses."
"What are you trying to say?" Mrs. Madden''s expression changed. Her heart felt uneasy.
