Chapter 717 Is Sydney Our Daughter rice?


    It was May 3rd!


    Mrs. Madden hurriedly looked at Brandon and asked in a trembling voice, "Darling, did you see it?


    That''s the day when Sydney was adopted. Have you seen it?"


    "Yes." Wearing a gloomy expression, Brandon nodded. His hands on the railing of the hospital bed


    were shaking slightly because of his excessive exertion.


    Mrs. Madden covered her mouth, and her eyes had turned red with tears. "Why is it May 3rd?"


    She didn’t understand why Sydney wasn''t the biological daughter of Harry and Leanna.


    What confused her more was the adoption date of Sydney.


    May was the month she would never forget, for it had brought her endless pain.


    May 1st was the day when her daughter was stolen by Harry and thrown into the river!


    And Sydney was adopted by Harry two days after that incident.

    Was it possible that…


    "Darling, do you think Sydney might be our daughter?" Mrs. Madden grabbed Brandon''s hand and


    asked eagerly.


    Brandon frowned deeply. "Don’t be silly. How can Sydney be rice?”


    "But Sydney is not Harry''s biological daughter, and her adoption date just happened to be May 3rd,


    so Sydney may be rice." Mrs. Madden got more agitated.


    Brandon patted her hand softly. "This is impossible."


    "How can this be impossible?" Mrs. Madden shook off his hand and stared at the TV with red,


    swollen eyes. "This date is a piece of strong proof. You were also shocked when seeing the date,


    right? It shows that you also suspect that Sydney may be rice.”


    Brandon was instantly lost for words.


    Indeed, as Mrs. Madden had said, when he saw that date, his first thought was that Sydney might


    be rice.


    On the one hand, Sydney was born in the same year as rice.


    On the other hand, rice was stolen by Harry, and he adopted a baby girl two days after throwing


    rice into the river. This made him suspect that Harry didn''t abandon their child at all, but secretly


    raised her.


    However, this possibility was too low.


    After all, rice was their daughter, which made her an enemy of Harry.


    It was impossible for Harry to raise the daughter of his sworn enemy so carefully.


    Therefore, Sydney was not rice.


    Thinking of this, Brandon sighed. "Please calm down first. If Sydney is rice, who is the girl living


    with us now? We have done a paternity test with rice, and she is proven to be our biological


    daughter, so Sydney is not rice. She just happened to be adopted by Harry about the same time


    as rice was thrown into the river.”


    "I know, but I just think the whole thing is odd." Mrs. Madden sat in the hospital bed, covering her


    face and crying, "Brandon, I have never told you that I don''t have too much maternal love for


    rice."


    "What do you mean?" Brandon looked at her.


    Mrs. Madden bit her lower lip and said, "I don''t know. I just think that I can''t get close to rice. I


    know that she is my daughter, and I should love her wholeheartedly so that she can feel she is the


    happiest child in the world. But I can''t do that. My usual kindness and affection for rice are all


    pretended. In fact, I am reluctant to have too much contact with her. I..."


    "rice!" Before Mrs. Madden finished her words, Brandon suddenly shouted.


    Mrs. Madden''s heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look at Brandon, but Brandon just stared at


    the door with an extremely embarrassed expression.


    When she saw this, Mrs. Madden’s expression changed drastically. She immediately turned to look


    at the door, and when she saw rice standing there with red eyes and a distressed expression,


    her face turned pale.


    "rice..."


    "Mom, you have gone too far!" rice clenched her fists tightly. After saying that, she directly turned


    and ran away.


    "rice!" Mrs. Madden reached out her hand and tried to stop her, but it was toote.


    "Darling, I ..." Mrs. Madden panicked. Having no idea about what to do next, she looked at Brandon


    for help at once.


    She didn''t expect rice to appear so coincidentally. What was worse, rice ran away sadly after


    hearing her true thoughts.


    Now Mrs. Madden was overwhelmed with deep guilt.


    Brandon didn''t expect things to turn out like this either, and rice’s sudden appearance was a


    complete surprise for him.


    Brandon rubbed his temples and said, "Hurry up to chase her."


    "OK." Only then did Mrs. Madden hurriedly walk away from the hospital bed and run out of the ward


    to chase after rice.


    After Mrs. Madden left, Brandon was left alone in the ward.


    He looked at the TV in front of him with aplicated expression.


    After a long time, he took out his mobile phone and called his assistant. "Check where Sydney was


    adopted by Harry!"


    "Yes, sir,” the man on the other end of the line replied.


    Brandon put the phone down with a stern face.


    He couldn''t believe Sydney was rice, and he didn''t think the girl living with them had a false


    identity.


    But like Mrs. Madden, he was very concerned about Sydney''s adoption date.


    If he didn''t know where Sydney was adopted, he couldn’t calm down.


    At the press conference.


    Sydney''s adoption document had been seen by all reporters and the audience in the live broadcast


    room.


    Sean collected the copy of the adoption document and put it in front of Sydney and Julien.


    Sydney picked up the microphone and asked the reporters with a smile, "Does anyone still question


    the authenticity of my adoption document?"


    "Of course not." They shook their heads in unison.


    The only person who had questioned it would soon be taken away by the police.


    Therefore, they dared not have any objection at all.


    "Since no one questions it, then there is no problem with my identity." Sydney put her hand on the


    folder of adoption document. "I was not born of my mother''s infidelity, but adopted by my foster


    parents through proper channels. That is to say, although I have no blood rtionship with my foster


    parents, I am legally their daughter, and I should be able to inherit the property of the Raines family.


    In that case, it is untenable for Madeline to say that I stole everything from the Raines family as an


    illegitimate daughter."


    "Ms. Raines, you are right." The reporters nodded again.


    Sydney continued, "Madeline said that I robbed all the shares of the Skylight Corporation. In fact, I


    don''t need to exin this, because any shareholder of ourpany can tell you that it''s not the


    truth. My father had mortgaged most of the shares before he died, and my grandfatherter bought


    the shares back and gave them to me. Since those shares have been handled twice, are they still


    the original shares of the Raines family?”


    "Of course not." A reporter immediately replied loudly, "Since the former chairman has mortgaged


    the shares, the Raines family has long lost its shares of the Skylight Corporation. The shares you


    own now were bought back by your grandfather, so it has nothing to do with the Raines family.


    Since that’s the case, all those shares belong to you, and Madeline has no right to inherit the


    property.”


    "That''s right." Other reporters also agreed.


    Sydney nced at Madeline, whose face had be paler. "Now that everyone knows that I didn''t


    rob the shares, are you curious about why Madeline protested online that I robbed the shares from


    her father?"


    "Yeah, that’s strange." The reporters were stunned for a few seconds, and then they all turned to


    look at Madeline and started questioning her again.
