Chapter 360 Lyra''s Breakdown
Secondly, after he broke off their ties, he announced Lyra''s true identity. This way, the outside world
would no longer question the severance of their father-daughter rtionship and would only praise
his sense of honor. After all, he raised someone who was not his biological child to such an age, but
in turn, this adopted daughter harmed him and Trison Corporation. Even if he severed their ties, the
outside world would only stand by him and sympathize with him.
Even the businessmunity would not ostracize him. Him raising a child that was not his own until
she was an adult was enough to prove that he was affectionate and true. He decided to sever their
ties because his adopted daughter was too much and he was forced to do so. The business
community might even take the initiative to cooperate with him because of
pity
Now, it was up to Brandon to decide whether or not he would announce Lyra''s true identity.
Sydney narrowed her eyes and stared at Brandon on the screen.
She realized that she had underestimated him.
Every time she thought Brandon was finished, he managed to get through it.
Sure enough, she was still too young to fight against such an old fox. She was not experienced
enough!
After all, he had lived more decades than her, so he naturally had more cards to y. In the
hospital, Julien frowned and also looked at Brandon silently.
Beside him, Zach eximed, "No way. How could he sever ties with Lyra now? Is he crazy? He’s
putting righteousness above family loyalty. People on the Inte will praise him and think he did a
good job, but they''ll also be disgusted with him. After all, in their eyes, even if Lyra is in the wrong,
she''s still his daughter. It’s too ruthless for him to cut his ties with her just because of that. The
netizens won''t support him anymore, and the business world won''t ept him either. He must’ve
gone mad."
"No, he didn''t go mad. Look at his face. He''s too calm. That''s the appearance of someone confident
in solving his problems. Brandon is a cunning man, so definitely knows about what you said.
Since he said it regardless, there must be something going on that we''re unaware of, and that
something can make him sessfully clear his name." Julien pursed his thin lips.
Zach''s eyes widened. "You mean he still has a card up his sleeve?"
Julien raised his chin and said, "Keep watching. The reporters will answer our questions."
Sure enough, after the reporters at the scene recovered from their shock, a new wave of sharp
questions hit Brandon again.
"President Madden, are you severing ties with your daughter?"
"Yes!" Brandon replied.
The reporter continued to ask, "Don''t you think it''s too inappropriate and ruthless for you to break off
your ties at this time?" "Yes. She''s your daughter after all. Even if she did something wrong, you''re
too coldblooded to sever your ties at this juncture. Did you choose to do so because you don''t want
to be implicated?"
Brandon looked at the reporters, gripped the microphone, and said in a low voice, "I admit that I
shouldn''t have announced to sever my ties with Lyra at this juncture, but I don’t feel like I''m being
cold and heartless. On the contrary, I feel that I''ve done Lyra a great service. I''ve raised her till
adulthood and didn''t ask for anything in return, but she harmed my family and Trison Corporation. I
believe that everyone can see the situation that Trison is in now. To save Trison, I can only cut off
ties with her. That''s because she''s not my biological daughter!"
Once those words were out, the entire room was shocked.
Zach sucked in a breath of cold air. "Lyra isn''t Brandon’s biological daughter?"
Julien''s eyes also clearly held a trace of surprise, but it quickly disappeared.
Yes, he had previously overlooked a very important point: Lyra and rice''s ages.
rice should be twenty-six this year, but Lyra was also twenty-six.
However, if they were born to the same mother, it was impossible for them to be the same age since
Mrs. Madden did not give birth to twins.
Lyra appeared in the Madden family one year after rice''s "death", and Brandon told the outside
world that Lyra was born to Mrs. Madden. Due to the one-year period, no one found any problem
with that.
However, Lyra''s age did not start counting from when she joined the Madden family. The wealthy
ladies of the outside world did not pay much attention to age, so many people neglected this point.
This was what led to the fact that many people did not find out that there was something wrong with
Lyra''s identity.
In Shallow Bay, Sydney saw Brandon announce Lyra’s identity and was not surprised.
She already guessed it.
That was because this was the only thing Brandon could do if he wanted to save himself.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.
In the Madden residence, Mrs. Madden and rice also heard Brandon''s words.
Mrs. Madden covered her face and began
to cry.
rice, on the other hand, trembled with excitement.
''Lyra isn''t Mom and Dad''s biological daughter. Dad cut off his father-daughter rtionship with Lyra!
''In other words, even if Lyraes out of jail in the future, she can''t return to the Madden family.
''The Madden family is mine alone!''
rice''s heart raced in excitement. She would have cried out in joy if not for the fact that it was not
an appropriate time.
Taking a deep breath, she tried her best to suppress her inner ecstasy and looked at Mrs. Madden
with feigned surprise." Mom... Is Lyra not your biological daughter?
Mrs. Madden''s body stiffened for a moment, and she nodded while crying. " Yes."
rice''s mouth curled up at the answer. Then, she hugged Mrs. Madden. "It''s okay, you have me.
In the future, I’ll take care of you and Dad for Lyra as well."
"rice..." Mrs. Madden buried her face in rice’s shoulder and sobbed even louder.
When Brandon came backst night, he told her that he would sever his rtionship with Lyra.
She disagreed at first, but Brandon said that they would have to wait for bankruptcy if she did not
agree, so she had no choice but to agree.
She believed that Lyra would understand them. Even if Lyra was no longer a member of the
Madden family, Mrs. Madden would still take good care of her in the future.
In the detention center.
Lyra was also watching the press conference. She got special permission from the police
When Brandon announced that he severed ties with her, she wanted to rush out and kill him.
She knew that he was severing their ties because he wanted to draw a line between them. He did
not want to be involved with her anymore.
Sure enough, there were no longsting rtionships in this world. Even a family rtionship could
be abandoned at any moment.
However, when Brandon announced that she was not his biological daughter, she waspletely
stunned.
She would have stood up if not for the fact that she was handcuffed to a wheelchair.
''I''m not Dad''s biological daughter!
''Impossible. That''s impossible!
''How can I not be his biological daughter?''
Lyra was pale. She shook her head with nk eyes, not willing to believe this fact.
At the press conference, the reporters asked even more questions.
"President Madden, is what you said true? Is Lyra not Mrs. Madden and your biological daughter?"
"She''s not."
"Do you have proof? Or are you just saying that on purpose to distance yourself and Trison
Corporation from Lyra?" "I''m not lying, and I have proof. The proof is right here." Brandon picked up
a document from the table. "This is the DNA test between Lyra and me, as well as the adoption
papers for Lyra''s adoption twenty-five years ago."
He opened the folder and held it up to the camera.
This way, everyone could see what was written on the papers clearly. It was indeed a paternity test
and adoption papers.
However, someone continued to question," The paternity test and adoption papers can be faked.
They don''t count as evidence.”
