My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 145 Sydney's Plan

Julien's pupils shrank as he tightened his grip on Lyra.

Hunter touched his chin and said, "The blood isn't turning back, so it doesn't seem like a venomous snake. However, we can't be sure about that either. Julien, you should take her down the mountain and get an antivenin shot."

Without further ado, Julien picked Lyra up and dashed to the cable car.

Watching as the cable car gradually disappeared into the clouds, Sydney and her group found a place to sit down, waiting for the cable car to come back.

"Darling, how on earth did you encounter a snake?" Luke handed Sydney a bottle of water.

Sydney took it and cupped it in her hand without unscrewing it. She shook her head and replied, "I don't know either."

She had not expected a snake to appear at all.

She did not even know what happened before Lyra got bitten.

"I'll tell you." Sharon raised her hands.

The others looked at her.

She opened her mouth and said, "It's like this. I was also about to go to the creek to wash my face when I saw a snake hanging on the branch behind President Raines. The snake originally did not intend to attack, but Lyra suddenly stood up and shouted at President Raines, which startled the snake and caused it to lunge towards her."

"You mean the snake was originally going to bite Sydney?" Jayden's mouth opened in shock.

Sharon nodded. "Yeah. I yelled for President Raines to get down, so that snake ended up landing on Lyra opposite her and bit Lyra."

"That's really dramatic." Hunter laughed.

Sydney finally understood what happened and held Sharon's hand in gratitude. "Thank you, Sharon."

If it were not for Sharon telling her to get down abruptly, maybe she would have been the person bitten.

"There's no need to thank me. It's also because you trusted me. Otherwise, it would’ve been useless even if I called out to you." Sharon laughed.

"I really didn't expect there to be a snake on this mountain. I must be pretty lucky to come across one," Sydney said with a bitter smile.

Although she had calmed down, she could not help but feel a little scared when she thought about the snake.

Luke put his hands behind his head. "Speaking of which, I still blame Lyra. If she hadn't suddenly stood up and scared the snake, it wouldn't have attacked my darling. Fortunately, the one who got bitten was Lyra herself, so I feel much better."

"Now that you mention it, I think Lyra deliberately scared the snake." Sharon rubbed her chin and suddenly said.

Her words shocked everyone in the group.

"Sharon, you meant that Lyra startled the snake on purpose?" Luke stared at Sharon intently.

"That can't be." Jayden’s jaw dropped.

Hunter clapped him on the shoulder. "Why not? Don't forget what Lyra did to Sydney. What else can't she do?"

Jayden suddenly had nothing to say, and he looked at Sydney.

Sydney furrowed her brows. No one knew what she was thinking about.

Sharon nodded and replied, "That's right. I suspect she did it on purpose. I saw her smile when that snake flew toward President Raines, and she was not surprised at all by the snake's appearance. I think she might’ve noticed the snake long ago and then deliberately stood up to call out to President Raines."

"If that's true, she really had it coming when she was bitten." Hunter's mouth curled up into a mocking smile.

"It must be true." Luke slapped his thigh and said with an ice-cold face, "I knew she hadn't given up on wanting to harm my darling. Sure enough, she did it again."

"This woman is really the worst one I've ever seen." Sharon clicked her tongue with a sigh.

She did not understand it. Lyra might have been upset when President Raines and President Flint were married.

However, they were divorced, and President Flint was devoted to Lyra. Was it necessary for Lyra to target President Raines?

"Kid." Hunter looked at Jayden. "You saw what happened today. You should be careful in the future and don't offend Lyra for no reason. Otherwise, with how narrow-minded she is, she might set her eyes on you next."

"I-I know." Jayden quickly nodded.

He knew Lyra was bad, but he had never seen Lyra's bad side with his own eyes. That was why he still did not believe it completely and was not afraid of her at all.

However, now that he finally saw it, he had to admit that he was frightened.

"No, we can't just drop this matter. We have to teach Lyra a lesson." Luke clenched his fist and said angrily.

Sydney pursed her red lips. "How are you going to teach her a lesson? There's no evidence to prove that she did it on purpose. Sharon is the only witness, and she's on our side. Lyra can just say that we made Sharon frame her."

"Sydney is right." Hunter also nodded. "Since it wasn't Lyra who directly laid hands on Sydney, we can't do anything to Lyra."

However, Luke was still unreconciled. "Are we just supposed to forget it?"

Sydney narrowed her eyes. "Of course not. If she can do something that we can't produce evidence against her, so can we."

"Darling, what's the plan?" Luke's eyes lit up.

Sydney hooked her finger, signaling for them to come closer.

The group huddled together.

Just as Sydney was about to speak, Luke suddenly said, "Wait."

"What is it?" Sydney looked at him.

Luke pushed Jayden away. "Darling, this kid is Julien's brother. He's on their side. We can't let him listen in."

"Who said I'm on their side? I'm not," Jayden shouted.

Luke crossed his arms. "Aren't you Julien's brother? Of course, you're on that side." This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"I'm his brother, but that doesn't mean we're on the same side. I won't stand on his side unless he breaks up with Lyra." Jayden snorted.

Luke raised his brows. "Really?"

"Yes!" Jayden nodded without hesitation.

Luke's lips tugged. "Even if it's true, I won't let you listen in."

"You..." Jayden was so angry he wanted to hit Luke.

Sydney looked at the two constantly quarreling and felt a headache. "Enough, Luke. How old are you? Why are you bickering with a kid? Just stop it. Let him listen in if he wants to."

"But darling, what if he tells Julien and Lyra?" Luke was a little worried.

Sydney looked at Jayden with stern eyes. "Will you?"

Jayden shook his head repeatedly. "I won't. I swear!"

He crossed his heart.

Sydney nodded. "Alright then."

Seeing that she had decided, Luke shrugged and stopped persuading her. Instead, he gave Jayden a warning look. "Kid, you better not say it. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

"You won't have that chance," Jayden said smugly.

Luke rolled his eyes. "Let's hope so."

Soon, Sydney told them her plan.

The group smiled wickedly after they heard her plan.

"That's a good idea." Luke gave her a thumbs up.

Sharon nodded. "Yeah. I'm getting excited just thinking about it."

"I didn't think he would come up with something like this." Hunter looked at Sydney with a vague smirk.

"What can I say? Desperate times call for desperate measures. That's normal, isn't it?" Sydney flicked her hair, revealing her fair and slender neck.

Hunter looked at the beautiful curve of her neck and then paused for a moment. However, his expression soon returned to normal.

"Sydney, leave the task of luring her out to me." Jayden suddenly raised his hand.

Sydney looked at him. "Of course, we have to leave it to you. With your relationship with them, you're the only one who won't arouse as much suspicion if you go to the second floor."

"Got it!" Jayden smiled happily when Sydney agreed to give the task to him.
