Chapter 16 Forged Video
Lyra could not keep the smile on her face anymore. She lowered her head as her tears began to fall.
Julien frowned and expressed his dissatisfaction with his grandmother’s behavior. "Lyra was being kind and mindful of your health. She’s the woman that your grandson likes. Even if you're angry with me, you can take it out on me." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
The Old Madam remained silent with an indifferent expression.
Julien took Lyra's hand and stood up, but his words were addressed to the Old Madam. "It’s getting late. Have a good rest, Grandma. We won't bother you anymore."
The two of them were only there for less than ten minutes before they left.
Felicia walked up to the Old Madam and sighed. "Why do you have to do that, Madam? Why do you have to be angry with Julien all for the sake of an outsider?"
The Old Madam stroked the emerald bracelet on her wrist. "That Madden girl is just an outsider, yet Julien is going against me for her."
Felicia tucked her in. "Of course not. Julien respects you the most."
The Old Madam merely smiled and kept quiet.
Except for a few senior figures on the board of directors of Skylight Corporation, no one else knew that Sydney had become the largest shareholder. With her authority, she decisively signed a contract with Hunter.
Hunter was a dark horse in the business world.
Although he was not as accomplished as Julien, he was no inferior, and his potential was endless.
With the help of Cayden and Luke, everything was developing well.
However, what Luke predicted finally happened.
The trending topics were full of pictures of a blue Audi hitting Lyra, and the comments below were a series of repeated criticisms of Sydney’s insidious malice.
In their mouths, Lyra became a victim, and Julien became the one who was toyed with by Sydney, his ex-wife.
The rumors spread like wildfire. If it continued, the police would soon come to her.
The board of directors of Skylight quickly called Sydney, saying that the matter had a great impact on the company. If it was not dealt with as soon as possible, it might affect the company's profits.
Luke sneered. "They're just a bunch of old foxes. The fact that Darling is a shareholder hasn't even been announced yet. How would it affect the company's profits? They're all just trying to scare and pressure
her."
Cayden stared at the picture on the trending topics and frowned. "Professionals will know at a glance that this video was photoshopped. The problem is that there are too many public opinions, and the public is blinded."
At the thought of Julien’s shamelessness in releasing the forged video, Luke mocked her, "Darling, your eyes were really bad. How did you fall in love with such a black-hearted guy? I think that he and that so-called innocent Lyra Madden were born for each other. Neither of them is good people.”
Sydney stared at the video expressionlessly and slowly lowered her eyes.
Thinking that his words had triggered her, Luke suddenly touched his nose in guilt. "Ahem... I didn't mean to taunt you. I'm just glad that you came to your senses early. We were prepared for this by obtaining the video six years ago."
Sydney raised her head and smiled faintly when she saw Layden’s worried expression. "Julien agreed to divorce me for Lyra. What else can't he do? I'm not surprised."
Luke suddenly got agitated. "In any case, the real video is with us. Why don’t we upload it right away to clarify the truth? It'll be a slap in their faces!”
"Wait." Sydney had her own plans, so she raised her brows at Luke. "Tomorrow is the 1st of the month. Did you say that the Madden family is going to hold a banquet for Lyra to celebrate her recovery?"
"That’s right. Are you going?”
She smiled. "Not only am I going, but I’m also going to send them a big gift."
As if Luke and Layden had realized something, they grinned at each other.
