Chapter 280 It Was Kate
Chapter 280 It Was Kate
Sydney halted her footsteps. "Anything else, President Madden?”
Layden also turned around and looked at Brandon.
Brandon took two steps forward and his eyes were dark as he looked at Sydney. " Did you plan Lyra's incident?"
He initially thought that what happened to Lyra was just a coincidence.
When he calmed down and gave things some thought, he realized that there must be something more than that behind the entire incident.
If what happened to Lyra was purely incidental, then those who did that to her would not throw Lyra into a busy complex.
Simply because they might get caught.
However, the perpetrators who violated Lyra threw her into a busy complex so that she would gain public attention. This was to ruin Lyra's reputation and it must have been planned from the beginning.
The one who did it was most likely Sydney.
She and Lyra never got along and even hated each other.
When Sydney heard Brandon's questioning, she was so mad that she laughed. "You put the blame on me because you can't find who did it?"
Layden said nothing and lowered his gaze.
Brandon sneered. "I didn't blindly blame you. My gut instincts are telling me that you did it."
Something flashed across Sydney's eyes.
Brandon was right. This had something to do with her.
Even though it was Finn who planned and did it, he did it because of her.
However, it did not matter. Sydney just had to deny it.
As she thought about that, she smiled and said, "Wow, you put the blame on me just because of your gut instincts. No wonder Trison Corporation is already seeing its downfall. I heard President Flint withdrew from all the cooperation projects with you. Congratulations, President Madden."
"You..." Brandon’s eyes widened in anger. After a moment, he sneered. "What an eloquent girl!"
Sydney was mocking him for managing Trison Corporation using his gut instincts instead of real managing capabilities.
She was also making fun of him for offending Julien Flint with the assumption that Julien would not cease all cooperation with his company.
Sydney was harder to deal with than he had imagined.
Brandon looked at Sydney with a gloomy expression.
Sydney was not at all afraid. She smiled as she looked into his eyes. "Thank you for the high praise. President Madden. I don’t think being eloquent is wrong. At least when I meet someone I don’t like, I won't lose out. What do you think?"
The corner's of Brandon's mouth twitched as he could tell she was talking about him.
He could not even make a scene or he might prove Sydney right.
When Brandon thought about that, he took a few deep breaths and suppressed his anger. He forced a smile and said, "You’re right."
Cayden burst out in laughter.
Brandon glared at him instantly as though he wanted to kill Cayden with his eyes.
Cayden felt the gaze and quickly controlled his laughter. He stared back at Brandon instead.
When Brandon saw Cayden's pitch black pupils, he felt like he was looking into a wild wolf’s eyes. He suddenly shuddered.
What was going on?
Why would a young model like him have such a frightful stare?
That gaze was also familiar, as though he had seen it before.
Brandon tried hard to recall but found nothing in the end.
Sydney looked at the time and said, "Cay, let's go."
A smile appeared on Cayden’s face once more as he nodded gently.
Both of them went into the police station.
Brandon came back to his senses and stared at the both of them with a sinister glare. He shouted, "Sydney Raines, you better pray hard. Don't let me find out that you have something to do with Lyra's incident or I will not let you off even if I ruin myself!"
He prepared Lyra all these years for the marriage alliance with the Flint family. Things were all ruined now.
His effort through the years had gone in vain, and of course, he was upset.
When Sydney heard Brandon's threat, she paused and turned back. With a cold sneer, she said, "Really? I'll wait for it then.”
Layden said nothing, but he looked back too. His gaze was the same as before, staring right at Brandon with those deep eyes. He seemed as though he was imprinting Brandon in his brain.
When they approached the stairs, Layden turned back and looked forward.
Sydney was standing outside the interrogation room when she looked through the window and saw the suspect. It was a scrawny, ordinary looking man.
The man was sitting on the chair with a battered windbreaker. He huddled himself up like a ball, looking both scared and uneasy.
It was understandable since he was now in the police station.
"He was the one who cast the horror images on my window?" Sydney withdrew her gaze from the man and asked the policeman next to her.
Layden, on the other hand, kept staring at the man, and it was unclear what he was thinking about.
Sydney did not pay attention to Layden and was only looking at the policeman while waiting for his reply.
The policeman nodded. "Yes. We looked through the surveillance cameras around your housing area and identified him. His name is Felix Stone, and he's a paparazzi."
"Paparazzi?" Sydney raised her eyebrow.
No wonder this guy hid his equipment so quickly and ran away the moment she found him that night.
She realized that his movements were quick and trained. Indeed, he was a trained paparazzi who had frequent experiences of getting caught and running away right after.
"Did he talk about his intentions?" Layden stopped looking at Felix and turned to ask the policeman.
Sydney put her hand on her forehead and said, "Oh right, I almost forgot to ask this."
"Yes. Once we caught him, he answered all of our questions without putting on a fight. He was hired by a woman named Kate Morgan. The woman used a hundred thousand and instructed him to scare you."
"Kate Morgan?" Sydney and Layden were both shocked. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Both of them did not expect Kate to be behind this.
On the way here, they were still speculating if it was Lyra.
Apparently not.
"Did Felix tell you why Kate wanted to scare me?” Sydney asked.
The policeman shook his head. "No. Felix himself didn't ask Kate Morgan about this. I guess you have to find out about this from her."
"I understand." Sydney rubbed her temples. "This matter isn’t severe enough to be a criminal case, but I think it can be an offense of intimidation. With this, can I get you to bring Kate Morgan over?" Sydney asked as she looked toward the policeman.
The policeman smiled. "Sure. I'll send someone to get her. You both can wait at the rest area."
Sydney nodded. “Thank you."
The policeman left.
Sydney and Layden went to the chairs by the side and sat down as they waited for Kate.
Sydney had no interest in meeting the man in the interrogation room. After all, the police had asked everything she wanted to know from him.
The man was hired, so he naturally did not know much. Even if Sydney went to see him herself, she would just be wasting time.
In the hospital. When Kate was leaving the hospital after paying Lyra a visit, her phone rang right after she stepped out of the elevator.
'Is this Ms. Kate Morgan?' "I am. Who are you?" Kate was confused, but she suddenly felt uneasy.
"This is the police station."
"Police station?" Kate raised her voice in surprise and it attracted the attention of everyone around her. One of them was Zach, who was holding a prescription.
"Why... Why are you calling me?" Kate swallowed hard and her voice was trembling.
Ever since she was detained for half a month, the word police or policeman would inherently make her panic.
Especially when she might have done something against the law.
