Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 270 The Engagement Annulment Is Non-negotiable

"Yes." Sunny nodded in shame. "I didn’t agree in the beginning. I struggled, but in the end, I failed to overcome my inner greed.”

"Yes, greed..." Sydney lowered her eyes and murmured.

The next moment, she clenched her phone and shouted emotionally, "But did you know? Your greed ruined my love and my marriage!"

"I... I didn't know..." Sunny was stunned.

She just made Sydney miss her meeting with her pen pal.

How did she end up ruining Sydney's love and marriage?

Sydney closed her eyes. When she reopened them, her mood had calmed down.

She pursed her red lips. "Sunny, you better watch yourself!"

After saying that, she ended the call directly and tossed the phone on the desk. Her head was slightly lowered, making it so no one could see the expression on her face.

However, the deadly silence around her revealed how heavy and pained her mood was at that moment.

She thought, 'If Sunny didn't help Lyra back then, would Buddy and I have been able to meet smoothly?

'I'd have found out that Buddy was my crush, Julien, and Julien would also find out that I was the Maple Leaf he loved.

'Wouldn't we be living happily by now?

'However, there are no ifs. So many things have happened. It’s impossible for Julien and I to return to the past.’

At that thought, Sydney rubbed her cheeks and regained her composure. She picked up the landline on the desk and called Sophie in.

"What can I do for you. President Raines?" When Sophie looked at Sydney and found that her eyes were a little red, she quickly asked, "President Raines, were you crying?"

"No." Sydney's eyes flickered for a moment before she changed the topic. "Anyway, go to a detective office to investigate a person for me."

"Who is it?" "Her name is Summer Jensen. She's my university classmate. Find out where she's working now and who her boss is!"

Sydney's eyes narrowed slightly as a harsh light flashed in them.

She did not care why Sunny betrayed her. Betrayal was betrayal, and betrayers should be punished.

She would let Sunny taste the consequences of betraying her!

"Understood." Sophie nodded and immediately went to do as she was told.

Meanwhile, in the Maybach.

Zach drove while looking at Julien in the rearview mirror. After hesitating for a while, he could not help his curiosity and asked, "President Flint, have you made everything clear to Ms. Raines?"

Julien looked out the window. His eyes flickered for a moment, and he hummed.

Zach's eyes lit up. "Then, has Ms. Raines forgiven you?" "No." Julien pursed his thin lips.

Zach almost accidentally slammed on the brakes. "No? How could that be? Didn't you tell her that you were her pen pal? Why is she still refusing to forgive you? Didn't you tell her that you mistook Lyra for her?"

"I did, but what's bothering her is about how I never recognized her in the six years I've been married to her," Julien said in a faint voice.

"That's true." Zach's lips twitched.

Soon, he said, "If I were Ms. Raines, that would also be what I’m more concerned about. I can accept that you mistook someone else for me, but if you didn't recognize me for six whole years, I'll definitely be unhappy. However, it’s not like you didn't want to recognize Ms. Raines. You were hypnotized. If you weren't hypnotized, I'm sure that you would've found out early on that Lyra was fake."

Julien remained silent and did not speak.

Zach suddenly thought of something and asked with wide eyes, "President Flint, when Ms. Raines heard that you couldn't recognize her because you were hypnotized, didn't she..."

"I didn't tell her I was hypnotized," Julien parted his thin lips and replied.

Zach was dumbfounded. "Why not?"

Was he stupid?

Julien propped his arm on the car door, resting his cheek on his palm. "There’s no need to. If I tell her that, it'll be like I was trying to act pitiful. I'd just be taking advantage of her soft heart to forgive me.”

At first, he wanted to tell her that he was hypnotized. It was only after she interrupted him that he realized there was not much point in saying it.

"That's..." Zach choked for a moment. After several seconds, he nodded. "It would indeed feel like you're exploiting her."

Zach rubbed his temples. "Even if I tell her I was hypnotized, she might forgive me, but she still won't remarry me.

"Why not?" Zach was a little confused.

Julien replied with deep eyes, "She doesn't love me. It's one thing to forgive me, but it's another thing to remarry me."

"I see " Zach nodded in a dazed manner, indicating that he understood

Then, he asked, "Since Ms. Raines won't remarry you, then..." "I won't give up!" Julien narrowed his eyes in determination. He was determined to win.

She was the woman he loved for more than ten years. How could he give up?

He had to obtain her!

At that moment, the sudden ringing of his phone interrupted his thoughts.

He frowned slightly and took out his phone to see that it was Brandon calling again.

He did not answer Brandon’s call in time back in Sydney's office, and Brandon hung up by himself.

He did not call back after Brandon hung up. Unexpectedly, Brandon called him again.

Julien's eyes darkened. His thumb swiped over the green icon and he answered the call.

Brandon’s anxious voice came. "Julien, is Lyra with you?"

"No," Julien replied indifferently. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Brandon's voice became increasingly anxious and louder as well. "No? Then where did she go?"

"I don't know." Julien's voice was still as cold as ever.

When Brandon heard his indifference to Lyra, he was first stunned, and then his expression became unsightly. "Julien, what kind of attitude is this? Lyra is your fiancee. How can you be so calm when your fiancee is missing? You..."

"President Madden!" Julien interrupted him with a cold expression.

Brandon was stunned for a moment. "You...

What did you just call me?"

Julien called him President Madden?

He used to call him by name!

"President Madden, I remember last time at the Madden residence, I said very clearly that I'll be breaking off the engagement with Lyra. Mrs. Madden was present at that time. She should've told you, right?" Julien held the phone and said in a cold voice.

Brandon's throat was clogged. After a few seconds, he finally said, "She did say that, but weren't you just joking?"

Joking?

Julien instantly understood. Brandon was deliberately taking it as a joke, saying that Julien was joking when he said he wanted to break off the engagement. Brandon thought that if he did not take it seriously, he could just muddle through Julien's intention to cancel the engagement.

However, how would Julien play along?

Julien's finger tapped on the car door, mercilessly breaking Brandon's fantasy. "I never joke. I've decided to break off the engagement. Tomorrow at noon, I'll hold a conference to officially announce the annulment.”

Brandon was completely stunned. He could not believe that Julien decided to unilaterally announce the annulment of the engagement without discussing it with them. He even already decided on a date. He was completely disregarding the Madden family!

For a moment, Brandon's heart was filled with anger, and his old face turned red.

However, to keep the marriage, he had no choice but to speak to Julien in a pleasant tone. "Julien, I know that Lyra shouldn't have impersonated others, but it was only because she loved you too much. It's justifiable that she did all that. Can't you forgive her? Besides, it's been so many years. Don't tell me you don’t have a shred of affection for Lyra."

"No, I've never loved her. Everything I gave to her never belonged to her in the first place. She stole it. The engagement annulment is non-negotiable." After Julien finished speaking, he directly hung up the phone, not giving Brandon a chance to continue.
