Chapter 361 The Daughter Pays the Father''s Debt
"That''s right, but what I have here is genuine evidence. First of all, on the adoption contract are
certificates issued by the police and the orphanage, as well as the official seals. This can never be
faked, otherwise, it would be a vition of thew. I, Brandon Madden, won''t be stupid enough to
break thew in public, right?" Brandon looked at the group of reporters and said coldly.
The reporters and the viewers in the live broadcast lobby had nothing to say.
After all, that was true.
If the papers were fake, Brandon would not dare to say that there were the official seals of the
police and orphanage. If the police or orphanage came out and said it was not their seal, it would be
the same as Brandon sending himself to jail.
Thus, it must be true that Lyra was not Brandon''s biological daughter.
Then, Brandon continued, "Next is regarding Lyra''s blood type. I can ask the police to have them
conduct a DNA test in front of the public!"
He even dared to have a DNA test done. It seemed like Lyra was not his biological daughter.
The reporters hurriedly said, "No, there''s no need. We believe you, President Madden.
At the detention center, Lyra saw Brandon hold up the adoption certificate and suggest a DNA test,
and her mind went nk.
At that moment, she could no longer deceive herself that she was the biological child of the Madden
couple.
"Ahhhhh!" Lyra broke down and screamed. The police officer outside was startled and hurriedly
opened the door to ask, "What''s wrong?"
Lyra ignored the officer''s concern and stared at the TV in front of her, her expression twisting
constantly.
Why?
''Why aren''t I their biological child?
''Even if I''m not their biological daughter, why did Dad announce it? He destroyed my dignity in
public. He destroyed my everything!
I can''t ept this. I can''t ept this!''
Lyra trembled inughter and tears as if she had gone mad.
The officer nced at the TV. He seemed to guess why she was like this and gave her a
sympathetic look before going out and closing the door again.
At the site, the reporters also sympathized with Brandon.
After all, the Madden family and Trison Corporation were harmed to this point because of an
adopted daughter. It was pitiful.
The audience that had been displeased with Brandon''s choice to sever ties with his daughter at this
time no longer felt dissatisfied. They only felt regretful.
If Lyra was Brandon''s biological daughter, they would scold him for being coldblooded and heartless
for severing their ties at this point.
However, it was now confirmed that Lyra was not his biological daughter, so the result was naturally
different.
She was not his biological daughter, but she was raised till adulthood and lived a luxurious life for
more than twenty years. Before she broke thew, the Madden family never gave up on her, and
they only let her go after this time. Thus, the Madden family already did well enough. They were
extremely benevolent.
That was why everyone could understand why Brandon chose to give up on Lyra now.
After all, she was not his biological daughter. After how much Lyra harmed the Madden family, she
should feel grateful that the Madden family simply cut off rtions with her without telling her to
return everything she enjoyed from them. Simrly, the bigwigs in the business world who watched
the press conference originally felt that Brandon was too cold and untrustworthy when they saw him
cut off rtions with Lyra.
However, they also changed their minds now. Brandon raised a baby abandoned in an orphanage
to adulthood. This was enough to prove that his character was not that bad, so they decided not to
withdraw their partnerships with him.
In the hospital, Zach looked at Julien and said, "So, this was the trick up Brandon''s sleeve. He
announced Lyra''s identity and pushed her out to let the Madden family and Trison Corporation get
away. I have to say that this old fox is capable."
Julien sneered. "He squeezed out Lyra''s final value. He''s indeed capable, but now that he''s done
this, the Madden family and Lyra will beplete enemies. With Lyra’s twisted character, she won''t
let the
Madden family off when shees out of prison."
"Yes." Zach nodded and added, "But with Brandon''s cunning, it''s impossible that he doesn’t know
that. Maybe he has a way to keep Lyra from being released?"
Julien tapped his finger on the edge of the bed. "If that''s the case, isn''t that a good thing?"
Zach smiled. "That''s true."
Sydney naturally shared the same thoughts as those two.
Her thoughts were the same as Julien’s. If Brandon was afraid that Lyra would get revenge after
she got out, he would make a scheme to keep her from getting out of prison. This was something
that Sydney wanted to see.
This way, she had one less enemy to deal with and could focus on the Madden family.
Sydney narrowed her eyes as she contemted.
At the scene, the reporters’ questions continued.
"President Madden, why did you and your wife want to adopt Lyra?"
Brandon replied, "You all know the news about my eldest daughtering back some time ago,
right?"
The crowd nodded.
Of course, they knew. There had been quite a hugemotion that time. After all, everyone knew
that there was only one daughter in the Madden family, and that person was Lyra Madden.
Unexpectedly, the Madden family suddenly announced to the public the return of their eldest
daughter.
Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
At that time, everyone was curious. If rice Madden was their biological daughter, why did the
Madden family hide her and only announce her identity now?
Would they get the answer to that question?
The crowd''s eyes burned into Brandon.
Brandon said, "Twenty-six years ago, my eldest daughter was kidnapped and thrown into the river.
My wife and I thought that our daughter died, and my wife suffered a blow. To appease her, I
adopted Lyra from the orphanage. Some time ago, my wife and I identally learned that our
eldest daughter didn''t die that year, so we brought her home." "So, that’s it." The crowd was struck
by a realization.
Then, a reporter asked, "President Madden, who kidnapped your eldest daughter and threw her into
the river?"
This question happened to be what the other reporters and the audience in the live broadcast lobby
wanted to know.
After all, they were most interested in the gossip of wealthy people, especially if the gossip involved
a crime.
In the hospital, Zach frowned slightly." President Flint, Brandon is talking about Ms. Raines'' father,
right?"
Julien nodded. "Yes."
"Will he announce it? If he does, the Inte will attack Ms. Raines again." Zach looked at Julien
worriedly.
After all, Harry kidnapped someone else''s daughter and threw her into the river to kill her. Such a
heinous act would provoke theizens'' outrage.
Since Harry was not around anymore, theizens'' anger would flock to Sydney instead. That was
because, in their view, it was only right that the daughter paid for the father''s debt.
If that happened, Sydney would be scolded worse than the previous time.
Julien clenched his fists and stared at the TV across the room grimly. "He won''t say it. He won''t
dare to."
"Why not?" Zach was confused.
Julien''s thin lips curled in a cold smile. "If he says, the police will investigate what happened that
year. Back then, to develop Trison, he stole Skylight’stest research breakthrough and forced a
researcher to die. It won''t be good for him if this matter is brought to light again. After all, rice is
fine now, but the researcher ended up dying."
"I see." Zach nodded.
Sure enough, just as Julien said, Brandon did not have the intention to answer truthfully. He only
revealed great hatred for the culprit.
He said suggestively, "Forget it. It’s been more than twenty years since the incident, so I won''t talk
about it. The person who kidnapped my eldest daughter back then is dead now.”
"The person is dead?" The reporters were shocked.
