Chapter 597 It Turned Out to Be Madeline


    "Okay. Ms. Raines, we’ll tow the car away." Immediately after Sydney gave her instructions, the


    captain of the towing squad gave his men the order. And they started to tow the car.


    Sydney stood aside, watching them while she dialed Sean''s phone.


    Sean quickly answered, "Ms. Raines."


    "Sean, do you know who owns the car parked in my parking spot?" Sydney asked, looking at the


    Japanese car.


    The car looked new. The owner probably just bought it.


    Sydney didn''t like Japanese cars now becausest time, Lyra drove a Japanese car to hit her and


    Julien.


    In so many days, they hadn''t found any news about Lyra. They didn''t know where she was hiding.


    "It''s parked in your spot?" Sean asked suspiciously on the other end of the line," Sorry, Ms. Raines.


    I didn’t go to the parking lot this morning. I don''t know whose car is parked in your spot."


    "OK," Sydney nodded, and then she said, " Find the parking lot manager and ask him about it."


    "Okay, Ms. Raines." Sean responded.


    Hanging up the phone, Sydney put her phone down and watched as they towed the Japanese car.


    As the Japanese car was getting on the tow truck, she walked over toward her parking spot, picked


    up the no-parking sign, and put it back in her spot.


    After that, Sydney paid the squad and headed for the elevator.


    Soon, she arrived at her office.


    Sean was waiting at the office door. When she saw Sydneying, Sean briefed her on the


    schedule of her day.


    After that, she told Sydney what she had learned from the parking lot manager, "Ms. Raines, the


    manager said that the car belonged to a woman and that the woman imed she was your sister,


    so the manager didn''t evict her."


    Sydney stopped her steps at Sean''s words. She turned around in a hurry and asked," What? My


    sister?" ■Was it Madeline Raines?’ "Yes. That''s what the manager said." Sean continued, "The


    manager also said that the woman showed him her passport and that her name was Madeline


    Raines, and since yourst name is also Raines, the manager believed she was your sister. He


    didn''t want to give you any trouble, so he just let the woman park there."


    ''Therefore, it''s not the manager''s fault. The woman who posed as Ms. Raines'' sister is to me.''


    "It really was Madeline Raines!" Sydney clenched her fists tightly. She had a sullen look on her face.


    Sydney had just wondered if the woman iming to be her sister was Madeline Raines.


    Now it turned out it really was.


    "Ms. Raines, do you know that woman?" Sean looked at Sydney curiously, and seeing the sullen


    look on Sydney’s face, Sean asked tentatively, "Ms. Raines, does that woman have any grudge


    against you?"


    "You know that my dad has another daughter, right?" Sydney asked rhetorically.


    Sean nodded, "Yes. I’ve heard Mr. Chase talk about you having a sister. Is Madeline Raines really


    your sister?"


    "Yes." Sydney responded, "She''s the daughter of my dad and his second wife."


    "So that’s it." Sean came to her senses, "I thought she was lying. But..."


    Sean frowned, "I heard from Mr. Chase that your sister and stepmother took all of Skylight’s money


    and ran away six years ago. She''s right here at Skylight now. She’s up to something, isn’t she?"


    Sydneypressed her lips and didn''t say anything.


    In fact, she agreed with what Sean had just said.


    Madeline had been sent to Beautrea by the Ferrels, and principally, she should stay in Beautrea.


    However, Madeline went back to Port City and came straight to Skylight, and she deliberately took


    Sydney''s parking spot to provoke Sydney. She must be up to something.


    "Find out where Madeline is. Since her car was in the parking lot, she should still be in thepany.


    When you find her, bring her to me." Sydney narrowed her eyes and said in a cold voice.


    She nned to go to Beautrea at the end of the month and bring Madeline back home so that


    Madeline could apologize to their father in front of his tombstone.


    However, Sydney didn''t expect Madeline toe back on her own, which was good, because it


    saved Sydney some trouble.


    "I know, Ms. Raines. I''ll have it done right away." Sean nodded, and then she immediately went to


    make the arrangements.


    Sydney walked along and sat in her chair. Then her phone started buzzing. A message popped up.


    It was from Julien.


    Sydney''s furrowed brows rxed. She read the message. "Did you find out who it was?"


    Sydney had anticipated Julien to ask her about this.


    Sydney smiled and replied, "Yes, it was Madeline."


    Julien had just gotten out of the elevator, and he was heading to his office. Seeing Sydney''s reply,


    he paused.


    ''Madeline?


    Julien typed with his slim fingers, "She''s back in the country?"


    Sydney rubbed her temples and replied. " Yeah. I didn''t get any news in advance. She stirred up


    things as soon as she got back. Who knows what she’s going to do next? But it''s a good thing. She


    hasn''t been to Dad''s grave in six years. I''m going to take her there to apologize to Dad."


    Seeing Sydney’s message, Julien let out a low chuckle, "OK. Let her apologize."


    Since Julien was on her side, Sydney felt secure. She curled up the corners of her lips and smiled.


    Just then, a knock came on her office door.


    Sydney looked up. "Pleasee in."


    She thought it was Sean; however, it was Stephen''s assistant.


    "Ms. Raines," Stephen''s assistant said, bowing to Sydney.


    Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Sydney put the phone down and asked in an indifferent voice, "What does Stephen want?"


    Stephen''s assistant would not havee to Sydney''s office if Stephen had not instructed him to do


    so.


    The assistant answered, standing at the door, "Ms. Raines, Mr. Dayton invites you to attend a


    meeting.”


    "What meeting?" Sydney frowned suspiciously.


    Every meeting had to be scheduled in advance, but Sydney had no meetings on her schedule


    today.


    Yet Stephen invited her to a meeting now, which was strange.


    "Mr. Dayton said that since your return to thepany, thepany hasn''t had an official board


    meeting, so Mr. Dayton is going to call a board meeting to select the new chairperson. He thinks the


    chairpersonship has been empty for too long. With only one president and one vice president, it''s


    not good for thepany''s development, so he intends to settle on a chairperson as soon as


    possible." The assistant said,


    Sydney leaned back in her chair and had a faint smile, "So that''s what Stephen was thinking. But


    Stephen was wrong. There''s no need to hold a board meeting to select a chairperson because it is


    always the rule that the person with the most shares is supposed to be the chairperson, so I don''t


    think there''s anyone more suitable than me to take the chair."


    Usually, the chairperson of the board was indeed the person who held the most shares. If the


    person with the most shares did not take the position, then the position will be left vacant instead of


    letting the person with fewer shares take it. That was themon rule of the business world.


    Sydney was supposed to be the chairperson of the board, not the vice president. But Luke told her


    that since she didn''t know anything about the business when she took charge, if she took the chair


    right away, the other shareholders wouldn''t obey her. They might even join forces to overthrow her.


    Therefore, it was best for Sydney to be humble and take on a VP position. In that case, she could


    learn more stuff and gain the trust of the other senior shareholders. They would not be defensive


    against her at first. When she had learned what she needed to know, she could then take the


    chairperson''s seat. By then, even if the other shareholders were not happy, they couldn''t pull her


    down or overthrow her, as Sydney was not a neer then.
