My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 156 Clarice Is Still Alive

"Yes, it's almost identical," the manager looked at her hand which had turned red from Mrs. Madden's grip and replied with a forced smile.

Mrs. Madden's eyes instantly reddened as tears flowed down. "It's Clarice, it's definitely Clarice. Clarice isn't dead. She's still alive! Manager, where's that girl now?"

She asked in a trembling voice.

The manager replied, "She already left, but it hasn't been long. She might still be in the mall."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Mrs.

Madden rush out of the store without even taking her bag. Mrs. Madden looked all around the mall for a lady who would be around the same age as her eldest daughter.

However, she searched the entire mall but could not find a girl who was wearing the daughter necklace and whose eyes resembled hers.

Mrs. Madden returned to the DT store, disheartened.

The manager brought a cup of hot water to her. "Did you find her, Mrs. Madden?"

Mrs. Madden shook her head in dismay. "No."

"Don't lose heart. Since she's in Port City, I'm sure that you'll meet her eventually." The manager comforted her with a smile.

Although she did not know who "Clarice" was and what relation she had with Mrs. Madden, judging by Mrs. Madden's frantic behavior, they must be very close.

"Thank you." Mrs. Madden squeezed the corners of her mouth and took out her card to settle the bill. Then, she took the bracelet and hurried back to the Madden residence.

"Honey!" Mrs. Madden shouted as soon as she entered the door.

Brandon came down from upstairs. "Didn't you go out shopping? Why are you back so soon?"

"Honey, Clarice is alive," Mrs. Madden looked at Brandon who came downstairs and said excitedly.

Brandon almost slipped. "What did you say?"

He held onto the railing and stared at Mrs. Madden in shock.

Mrs. Madden clasped her hands together. "Clarice is alive. Our eldest daughter is still alive."

"Nonsense." Brandon frowned and continued to walk downstairs. "You must’ve met another conman. A few years ago, there were often liars who said that our daughter was alive, but they were just trying to con us. H

"It's different this time. Clarice took the necklace -this one..." Mrs. Madden hastily took out the necklace around her neck. "Clarice took the daughter necklace to DT to ask about it. The manager even told me that Clarice's eyes look identical to mine. Brandon, my intuition is telling me that the girl the manager was talking about is Clarice."

Brandon was also stunned. "But how could that be? Clarice was drowned by Harry Baines. We both saw that."

"We did, but the police told us that they couldn't find Clarice's body, right? Maybe she didn't die after she was thrown into the river and was saved by someone downstream. Otherwise, how can you explain a girl with eyes identical to mine showing up with the daughter necklace?" Mrs. Madden said while clutching her necklace.

Brandon held his forehead. "I need a moment."

"Dad, Mom, what are you talking about?" Lyra also came down from upstairs at that moment. She could not help but ask when she saw Brandon and Mrs. Madden's odd expressions.

Mrs. Madden pulled Lyra. "Lyra, your sister isn't dead. She's still alive."

"What?" Lyra was stunned for a moment before her eyes widened. "Mom, you're saying that Clarice isn't dead?"

"Yes, she's not dead. She's in Port City." Mrs. Madden nodded joyfully.

Lyra lowered her eyes which were full of gloom. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Clarice was not dead. It was too surprising.

'Seeing how happy Mom looks, it seems like she's preparing to bring Clarice back. If that happens, Mom would only care about Clarice in the future. She won't care about me anymore.

'No, I can't let Clarice come back. If she comes back, my inheritance rights, family property, and my parents ' favor would all be divided in half.'

Lyra could never let this happen.

She bit her lower lip and put on a smile on her face, asking cautiously, "That's great, Mom. Where’s Clarice now?"

She wanted to ask about Clarice's whereabouts and get rid of her before her parents brought her in.

Mrs. Madden's eyes darkened considerably at Lyra's question. "I only learned by chance today that your sister is still alive, but we still don't know where she is now."

"I see." Lyra nodded and frowned.

'Did Mom and Dad get cheated?'

However, whether it was a con or not, she had to find out about the matter. If news about Clarice being alive was false, then there was no problem.

However, if it were true, she had to get rid of Clarice. She had no feelings for this so-called sister.

At that thought, Lyra asked again, "Mom, how did you

find out that Clarice is still alive?" "It's this necklace," Mrs. Madden said and told her what happened in the DT store.

Lyra's hands slowly clenched when she finished listening.

It seemed like that woman might have been Clarice.

Unexpectedly, Clarice was lucky enough to still be alive.

"Mom, I'm going to Flint Mansion for dinner tonight. I'll go first." Lyra lowered her eyes and pulled her hand away.

She had to find Clarice first.

Otherwise, it would be too late when Brandon and Mrs. Madden found her.

Mrs. Madden nodded. "Go ahead."

Lyra kissed her on the cheek and walked toward the gate.

After she left, Mrs. Madden looked at Brandon." Honey, we have to hurry up and find Clarice. I wonder how she's been living for the past twenty years. I can't stop hurting at the thought that she might have suffered a lot."

She hammered her chest.

Brandon held her in his arms in distress. "Don't worry, I'll find our daughter and bring her back to us."

"But I'm worried that Clarice won't want to come back. What if she thinks we didn't want her and abandoned her? What if she hates us?" Mrs. Madden asked with anticipation and fear.

"She won't. Since Clarice asked about that necklace, it means that she wants to find us too," Brandon responded.

Mrs. Madden shook her head. "According to the manager, Clarice already knows that the necklace was designed by someone you asked. In that case, she should know that we're her parents. I'm just worried that she won't take the initiative to come to us."

Brandon sighed. "Let's wait a few days for now. Maybe Clarice will take the initiative to find us. Otherwise, we'll look for her. We can use your necklace and post a picture of it online. When Clarice sees that we're looking for her, she should understand that we didn't abandon her. Maybe she'll come back then."

"You're right." Mrs. Madden nodded.

Sydney did not know she attracted the attention of the Madden family by asking about the necklace.

After she left the mall, she drove to the hospital to see Grandma and ask if the latter knew what happened between the Madden and Raines families more than twenty years ago.

Unexpectedly, her car suddenly stalled along the way, and the tow truck did not appear even after a long time.

Thus, Sydney squatted by the side of the road, waiting almost two hours while freezing.

"President Flint, I see Ms. Raines," In the black Maybach, Zach said in surprise when he saw Sydney on the road ahead.

The man in the back seat who exuded a noble aura opened his eyes and looked out the window. He frowned when he also saw the woman by the road.

What was she doing?

It was so cold that she was rubbing her arms. Why was she still squatting there?

"Make a detour and drive over," Julien ordered.

Zach agreed and drove to the roundabout ahead, took the fourth exit, and headed for Sydney.

Arriving in front of her, Zach stopped the car, rolled down the window, and said to her, "Get in, Ms. Raines."
