Chapter 522 The Doubts Are Dispelled


    Sydney remained silent and turned away.


    She knew Brandon wasn''t acting because she made up that excuse herself.


    She had to convince herself that she didn''t help him out of concern, but rather because she didn''t


    want him to cause her trouble and imed that she made him fall.


    After all, Brandon and his wife were capable of doing so.


    Brandon didn''t argue with Sydney because she wasn''t saying anything, and he was in pain. Then


    he instructed Mrs. Madden to take him to the doctor right away for pain medication.


    Mrs. Madden wanted to teach Sydney a lesson and vent her rage, but she was aware of the status


    quo.


    Then, she only gave Sydney a sidelong nce before dragging Brandon away.


    Because Brandon was the family''s rock, if he fell, a weak woman like her would lose the entire


    family fortune to thepany’s shady shareholders.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Mrs. Madden helped Brandon out of here, but she was so rushed that she didn’t notice rice


    staying behind.


    rice was standing in front of Sydney. "I never imagined Lyra would jump from the building, Ms.


    Raines."


    "Indeed. "Sydney nodded. She tried to read rice''s mind by looking at her face. "You seem to be


    happy."


    rice smiled with her lips covered, as all the upper-ssdies did.


    She must have gotten along well with those socialites during her stay here because she seemed to


    be more elegant.


    rice had transformed from the bumpkin she had been when she first arrived in Port City to a


    confident, well-mannered, and elegant socialite. If she said she had ever lived in the country before,


    no one would believe her.


    "Of course," she admitted as she crossed her arms. "You witnessed my mother''s behavior. Lyra


    may have severed all ties with us, but that does not mean she has been forgotten. My parents will


    always love her as long as she is alive. After she is released from jail, they may even take her back.


    I don''t have to worry about that now that she''s dead, so how could I not be happy about it?"


    Hearing her words, Sydney gave her a meaningful smile while squinting at her." Is that correct?


    Then I apologize for disappointing you."


    Actually, Lyra was still alive.


    "What do you mean?" When rice looked at the smile on Sydney''s face, her heart thumped. She


    somehow had a bad feeling.


    Sydney tucked her hair behind her ear. "It''s nothing. You''ll find out when the timees."


    "What are you doing..." rice wanted to ask her what she was hiding, but she frowned and


    swallowed her words when she saw the people approaching from behind Sydney.


    Julien and Zack returned after Julien had finished talking on the phone.


    Zack was the first to notice rice, and his face darkened. He said to Julien, who was still staring at


    his phone. "Mr. Flint, Denna is here."


    Julien put his phone down and turned to face Sydney when he heard Zack mention that name.


    Sydney and rice were standing together, talking about something, but rice looked grim. When


    Julien saw this scene, his chest began to tighten.


    "Sydney!" Julien called out to Sydney as he quickened his pace.


    rice noticed him speeding up and realized he was concerned that she might do something to


    hurt Sydney, so she took a few steps back. "I''ll look into it myself because you''re keeping it a secret.


    Since Mr. Flint has arrived, I''m leaving now. Bye.


    The moment her voice broke off, she turned around and quickly walked away.


    Before Julien came up to Sydney, rice had already left. His eyes were filled with worry as he held


    her shoulder and looked at her from head to toe. "Are you okay? Did she hurt you in any way? "


    Sydney shook her head. "Nope. We just had a brief conversation."


    "What did she say? " When Julien realized she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and drew his


    hands back.


    Sydney''s lips were pursed. "We were talking about Lyra. Didn''t you say Lyra wasn''t the one who


    died? So I wonder who helped Lyra escape and who arranged a body double for her. After all, Lyra


    was monitored by the police in the ward, and she didn''t have any electronic devices. She couldn''t


    have gotten away if no one had helped her. The Madden family were the suspects that came to my


    mind in the first ce." "Ms. Raines, your guessing did make sense. " Zack said as he rubbed his


    chin.


    "Brandon and his wife are particrly suspicious. They care about Lyra, so it''s possible that they


    havee up with a n to get her out."


    Sydney nodded. "That''s why I was suspicious of the Madden family. Denna and I had a


    conversation just now, but she wanted Lyra dead, so she would never assist Lyra. And I don''t think


    Brandon and his wife have done it."


    "Really?" Julien raised an eyebrow, but he immediately realized the reason. "Did you see Brandon


    and his wife?"


    Sydney met and spoke with Denna just now, so she knew Denna did not help Lyra. Sydney must


    have met and spoken with Brandon and his wife as well, so she knew they didn''t do it.


    Sydney was not surprised that Julien had figured it out. After all, it was very easy for him to guess it


    right. Then she said, "Yes. Brandon and his wife arrived while you were on the phone. Mrs. Madden


    was sobbing. Brandon appeared to be calm, but his eyes were filled with genuine pain. I could see


    that they didn''t put on an act. They assumed Lyra had jumped from the building, so they couldn''t be


    the ones who helped Lyra escape."


    "I see. "Julien said as he raised his chin. " However, ying the guessing game here is pointless.


    We still need to see the results of the police investigation. They''ve been watching her 24/7, so they


    should know who''s been paying her visits this month. and the one who helped Lyra must be one of


    them." "You are right." Sydney twitched the corner of her mouth.


    Julien looked at his watch and said, "Let''s go to find Finn. He should be done with the autopsy."


    Sydney agreed to go with him. Then she turned around to see the location where the body fell


    upon. She shivered as she looked down at the patch of blood on the ground.


    At that moment, Julien reached out to cover her eyes." Stop looking at it."


    Then he turned her around and asked, "Are you terrified?"


    "I''m fine. " Sydney yanked Julien''s hand away from her face. "The body is gone, and all that''s left is


    the blood. Although it is still disturbing to see it, I am no longer afraid."


    "Just do not look at it. Or you''ll have nightmares. " Julien put his hands down.


    Sydney said nothing and followed Julien to the identification room.


    Suddenly, her phone rang.


    As she walked, she took her phone out and found the caller was Luke.


    "It is Luke." Instead of picking up the phone right away, she turned to Julien and subconsciously told


    him who was calling.
