My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 173 Psychiatrist

Instead of answering, Julien asked, "Are you at the Flint Corporation now?"

"I'm at the lobby." Lyra nodded.

Julien rubbed his eyebrows. "I see. Just wait for me there. We can talk when I come back from the meeting."

After speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

Lyra stomped her foot, visibly enraged.

This was the first time Julien hung up on her.

When Julien returned to the conference room, everyone who was initially whispering instantly shut themselves up and said nothing.

Julie's eyes darkened, and when he noted the mockery in Sydney's eyes, he realized that these people were most likely talking about him. He pursed his lips and said, "Let's carry on."

The meeting lasted for more than an hour before it finally came to an end.

The crowd then began to disperse.

Sydney remained until she was the last to walk out, as usual.

When she reached the floor, Julien stopped her. "Wait a minute."

"President Flint, are you calling me?" Sydney asked.

Julien handed a document to her, and Sydney skeptically took it. "This is..."

"This is Brandon Madden's plan, the one that Lyra switched. I thought it was yours, so I made some corrections and also added my opinions to it. You can take a look. It might benefit your future projects," Julien explained.

When Sydney heard him, she opened the document and saw a lot of suggestions and writing marked in red.

She paused for a short while, closed the document, and looked at Julien with confusion. "Why are you helping me?"

At first, he did not know that the plan belonged to Brandon Madden and thought it was hers. Why did he spend his time and effort reviewing it?

There was no need to do that. Looking at the red marks on the document, anyone would be able to tell that this plan was crap and would have thrown it away. Why did he bother to even correct it? Sydney simply could not understand.

Julien lowered his eyes to cover the depths of his eyes. "I did this for everyone."

"I see." Sydney nodded and believed him without giving it much thought.

After all, Sydney thought that Julien did not like her.

So, why would he go to such lengths to help her?

"I understand. I'll go through them. Thank you, President Flint." Sydney bowed at Julien slightly.

Julien nodded. "Don't be late for the contract signage tomorrow."

"Yes. I'll take my leave then," Sydney said and smiled at him politely like he was a stranger. She then turned around and left.

Julien stared at her silhouette and raised his hand, as though he wanted to call her back.

Yet he gave up in the end.

"President Flint." Zach walked over.

Julien put his hand back into his pocket. "What's the matter?"

"Dr. Steve has already boarded the plane," Zach replied.

Something flashed across Julien's eyes, but it was fleeting and it disappeared in an instant. "I see. Is the Psychiatric Clinic for Dr.Steve ready?"

"All the arrangements are in place according to his requirements. When he arrives, he can go directly to the clinic," Zach said.

Julien nodded. "Let's go back to Flint Corporation."

"Yes," Zach replied.

Soon, they returned to Flint Corporation.

The moment they walked to the lobby, Lyra saw them. "Julien!" Lyra got up quickly and ran toward Julien. She then threw herself into his arms and hugged his waist tight.

Naturally, people around them cast their jealous glances at them.

In the past, Julien would never care about what others thought about them and would just let them watch. However, for an unknown reason, he did not want others to gossip about him and Lyra anymore.

"Lyra, get off first." Julien frowned slightly and pulled Lyra away from him.

When Lyra straightened herself, she looked at Julien with teary eyes. "Julien, I..."

"Let's talk in my office." After Julien said this, he walked toward the elevator right away.

When Lyra noted that Julien did not wait for her, she clenched her fists and quickly followed suit.

In the office.

As soon as Lyra entered, she continued the conversation from earlier. "Julien, I know that you must still be angry with me, but I didn't know that I switched out Ms. Raines' plan. I don't have the slightest recollection of doing so. When my father told me about it, I was equally stunned."

Julien turned around in disbelief. "You didn't know?"

"Yes. I didn't know. It might be the alternate personality who did it." Lyra lowered her head.

Julien looked at her scrutinizingly. "Your alternate personality only appears when you’re triggered. You were the only one in the reception room at that time. Tell me, what triggered you?"

"I didn't get triggered in the reception room. I... When I sent the plan over, I saw Ms. Raines downstairs," Lyra replied.

Julien was startled. "You saw Sydney?"

"Yes. Ms. Raines was leaving Flint Corporation at that time. You already divorced her and she still came to Flint Corporation, so I unconsciously overthink and... and maybe my alternate personality came out then." As she said that, tears were already flowing down her cheeks.

Julien sighed. "It's fine then. Let's put an end to this matter. Since President Madden already apologized, and I also announced that you can't come up to the top floors without an appointment, this is the resolution to this matter and punishment to you."

Lyra bit her lip. "Julien, do you have to do this? Can you change the punishment?"

"No. Sydney is now the main cooperation partner and she’ll often come to Flint Corporation in the future. If you see her, the same incident might happen again. I won't change my mind," Julien said firmly.

Although Lyra was feeling uncomfortable, she did not dare to say much anymore. She nodded and said," Okay. How about my dad, Julien? Did he lose his position as the main cooperation partner?" NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"The plan he submitted was horrible. I'll decide what to do with him later," Julien answered with a tone of indifference.

"But... But he's my dad. Julien, can you..."

"No." Julien cut her off mid-sentence.

He then turned to her. "Lyra, I know what you want. You want me to give President Madden another chance for your sake. However, you have to understand that I already announced this as a competition. Everyone must go through fair competition to obtain the position as our main cooperation partner. If I opened the backdoor for your father, what would others think of me?"

"I understand. I'm sorry, Julien. I won't do it in the future." Lyra lowered her head in disappointment.

Julien hugged her lightly and said, "It's good if you understand. Don't worry, I'll help your father out with other projects."

"Okay. Thank you, Julien. You're the best." Lyra tipped her toes and planted a kiss on Julien's cheek.

Julien unconsciously frowned. When Lyra was not looking, he quickly used his sleeve to wipe his cheek.

He said, "Lyra, do you remember I told you to see a psychiatrist when we were in the equestrian park?" "Yes." Lyra nodded.

"That's good. Dr.Imanov is already on his way to Port City. I think he’ll be reaching tomorrow. I’ll bring you to him tomorrow," Julien said.

Lyra's pupils constricted and she felt fear grip her heart. "You already found a psychiatrist?"

"Yes," Julien replied.

When Lyra heard his reply, a surge of anger washed over her.

She inhaled deeply to suppress the anger and gave Julien a questioning gaze. "Why didn't you tell me that you have found a psychiatrist? When was this?"

"When you agreed to see a psychiatrist, I asked Zach to make the appropriate arrangements the next day itself." Julien looked at Lyra, who appeared more anxious than usual. He narrowed his eyes at her. "Are you afraid of seeing a psychiatrist?"
