Chapter 247 Arrange a Room for rice Madden


    "I heard them!" Julien lowered his eyelids to cover the ridicule in his eyes as he responded


    indifferently.


    He thought that they were quite right.


    Lyra looked at him with incredulous eyes. "You heard them, but you''re not helping me?"


    Sydney and Layden also looked at Julien.


    That''s right. He didn''te forward to help Lyra even though we scolded her so badly.


    ''Doesn''t he love Lyra so much that he can''t bear to let her suffer at all? How could he allow her to


    be scolded like that?


    ''This isn''t normal!''


    Julien could guess what Sydney was thinking from the changes in her expression, and his eyes


    darkened.


    He wanted to tell her that he did not love Lyra. Whether or not Lyra suffered was none of his


    business.


    However, his intuition told him that he could not say it. If he did, something bad might happen.


    The feeling was so strong that he could not disregard it.


    Julien let go of Lyra and put his hands inside his pockets, with his fists clenched. He said in a cold


    voice, "I can''t help."


    "What do you mean you can''t help?" Lyra was very confused.


    Meanwhile, Sydney raised her brows.


    She, too, wondered why he said he could not help.


    Julien pursed his thin lips and lied with a straight face. "Sydney didn''t call you a dog. It was you who


    admitted to being one yourself. If I help you, wouldn''t it just be justifying that you really are a dog?"


    He emphasized the word ''dog'' a little too strongly.


    Sydney did not know whether she had heard wrongly.'' I thought I heard a hint of emphasis in his


    tone.


    ''What was he emphasizing? That Lyra really is a dog?''


    Amused by her own thoughts, Sydney shook her head.


    ''How can that be?


    ''I must have misheard.


    ''Lyra is his beloved. How could he think of her as a dog?''


    However, Lyra did not notice anything wrong with Julien''s tone. She bit her lip and nodded. "You''re


    right."


    Although she thought it was a little strange, she could not say that it was, so she simply stopped


    thinking about it.


    Julien knew that she would not be unreasonable again, and his tightly furrowed brows finally


    rxed.


    He more or less knew that as long as she did not cause trouble, he would not have to coax her, and


    he would not be manipted by that strange force because he refused to console her.


    At that thought, Julien rubbed his fingers. "Well, there''s no way to get to the bottom of this now.


    Let''s just hand it over to the police. As for your restaurant..."


    He then looked at the manager.


    The manager immediately straightened up. "We will fully cooperate with the investigation."


    Julien nodded and looked at Sydney, his eyes softening a little. "What do you think?"


    Sydney did not answer. In fact, she was somewhat speechless.


    Layden gently nudged her shoulder. "Sydney?"


    "Sorry, I spaced out. What happened?" Sydney snapped back to her senses, and the corners of her


    mouth lifted into an embarrassed smile.


    However, she could not calm down from how shocked she felt.


    Julien''s eyes earlier looked like the Julien Flint from the past...


    Not noticing anything wrong with Sydney, Layden said gently, "President Flint said we can''t get to


    the bottom of this now, so we''ll leave it to the police and let them handle it."


    "Oh, sure." Sydney nodded in agreement.


    After that, the manager called the police.


    The officers from the station came, took a simple statement from Sydney and the others, and then


    informed them that they could leave.


    Sydney and Cayden left first, while Julien and Lyra waited for their driver.


    Lyra looked at Julien who was staring in the direction of Sydney''s departure. She felt incredibly


    jealous.


    She wanted nothing more than to grab his head and tell him that he was not allowed to look at


    Sydney. She was the only one he could look at.


    However, she did not dare to do that. If she did, he would definitely start a fight with her again.


    After all, she had barely managed to make up with him.


    "Julien, the car is here." Seeing the car driving over, Lyra took a deep breath, suppressed the


    emotions surging in her heart, and forced a smile. She pulled Julien''s attention away from the


    direction that Sydney left in back to herself.


    Julien raised his chin slightly, indicating that he heard her. Then, he walked forward with his crutch.


    When Lyra realized that he did not even tell her toe with him, she stomped her feet, feeling


    upset. " Julien, wait for me."


    Julien pretended not to hear her and bent down to get in the car after handing his crutch to the


    driver.


    Lyra sat next to him. As she closed the door, she looked at him,ining, "Julien, why didn''t you


    wait for me?"


    "Be quiet. I have a headache." He closed his eyes and said in a deep voice.


    Lyra remembered that he was also in pain at the restaurant earlier. She opened her mouth but could


    not find the words to say.


    The entire journey back was silent.


    An hourter, they arrived at the Madden family vi.


    Before Lyra got out of the car, she turned to look at the man beside her.


    The man''s eyes were still closed. He seemed to be in deep sleep since he did not wake up even


    though the car had stopped.


    Lyra bit her lip, wanting to wake him up and tell him that they had arrived.


    However, when she saw him frowning, she finally gave up and got out of the car silently.


    ''Forget it. Since he''s not feeling well, I won''t ask him toe in this time.


    ''Next time, I''ll make him make it up to me twice over!''


    At that thought, Lyra instantly felt much better.


    Bam! The door closed.


    The man, who was originally asleep, suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze was icy cold, and his


    voice was equally frigid. "Drive!"


    The driver in front shivered and did not dare to dy for a second. He immediately switched on the


    car engine and drove away.


    Lyra, who was standing outside the vi, was caught off guard as the car exhaust sted onto her


    face, making her sick.


    Her face flushed with anger.


    ''How dare that driver do this to me?!


    ''I''llin about that stupid driver to Julien tomorrow!''


    She wiped her face angrily and turned to enter the gate.


    Mrs. Madden was sitting in the living room applying a mask. When she saw Lyrae in with a


    grim expression, she peeled off her mask and said, "What''s wrong, Lyra? Aren''t you supposed to go


    out to have dinner with Julien and make up with him? He didn''t agree?"


    Lyra was pulled to Mrs. Madden''s side and sat down. '' No, we made up."


    She did not tell Julien that they should make up, and Julien did not take the initiative to say that


    either.


    However, Julien treated her as well as he did before, so that must mean that they were back


    together again.


    "That''s a good thing, but why do you look so glum?" Mrs. Madden looked at her in confusion.


    Lyra gritted her teeth. "It''s that stupid driver of his. He sted me with car exhaust."


    Mrs. Madden brought her a cup of honey water and sighed. "Oh, that''s all? Just tell Julien to get rid


    of the driver. What''s the point of getting so angry? It''s not worth getting yourself worked up about it.


    Drink some water."


    Lyra took the cup without even a ''thanks'' and took a few sips. "Where''s Dad?"


    Mrs. Madden pointed upstairs. "He''s busy in the study."


    Lyra nodded in realization.


    At that moment, a maid came down from upstairs." Madam, the room has been decorated."


    "Mom, are we having a guest?" Lyra put down her ss and looked at Mrs. Madden.


    Mrs. Madden touched her ne and smiled softly." No, it''s the room I arranged for your sister."


    Lyra''s eyes widened at those words, and her voice became a little unnatural. "Is rice... really


    coming back?" ''D*mn it. Did they actually find rice?


    ''Otherwise, why would they arrange a room for her?'' "No." Mrs. Madden sighed. "There''s still no


    news about rice. I just want to decorate it so that she can move in as soon as shees back."

    "I see..." Lyra forced her lips into a perfunctory smile.
