Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 255 She Can't Answer

"I can't. I promised him." The man quickly calmed down, collecting the bewilderment in his heart, and shook his head to refuse.

Julien's anger roared again. He clenched his fists with a low growl. "You can't? That's between you and Lyra. It has nothing to do with me. Since your most important person loves Lyra so much, why don't you hypnotize Lyra instead so that the two of them can love each other? Why should I have to pay for their feelings?!"

The man lowered his eyelids, and a trace of sadness flashed in those emotionless eyes. "It's too late..."

"What does that mean?"

The man did not answer. Instead, he stepped forward, lifted his hand, and snapped his finger at the vigilant Julien and Zach.

Snap!

At that sound, Julien's eyes instantly grew hazy and disoriented. His mind started to go blank as well.

Even Zach in the car behind them began to go dazed.

By the time they returned to normal, the man was no longer there. They did not know when he left.

"President Flint!" Zach hurriedly took an umbrella and got out of the car, running to Julien's side. "What just happened? Who in the world was that man?"

Julien did not respond and simply returned to the car with hazy eyes.

Zach took out a towel from the glovebox and handed it over. "Here, wipe the water on your body."

Julien took the towel, draped it over his head, and said in a hoarse voice, "That man was the one who hypnotized us."

"What?" Zach hit his head on the roof of the car and hissed in pain.

However, he did not care about the pain and clenched the steering wheel, asking, "President Flint, did we really get hypnotized?"

"Yes." Julien covered his face with the towel so that no one could see his expression.

Zach only felt goosebumps all over. "But when did we get hypnotized?"

Under the towel, Julien's lashes quivered.

He also wanted to know the answer to that question.

He had never seen that man before, but he was hypnotized by that man.

It was clear how terrifying that man was.

"President Flint, why were we hypnotized by that man?" Zach asked with shaky breaths.

Julien took the towel off. "Stop asking. Go investigate that man's identity and his interpersonal relationships."

He wanted to know who that man was.

Who was the man who loved Lyra?

"Understood." Zach nodded gravely.

I would've investigated even if President Flint didn't tell me to.

'That person didn't just hypnotize President Flint but me as well! That's unforgivable!'

"Keep driving to the Madden residence," Julien commanded.

Zach hummed and restarted the car.

Soon, they arrived at the Madden residence.

Julien stood at the door and rang the bell.

When the maid opened the door, she saw Julien who was soaked to the skin, and jumped in shock. "Oh, Mr. Flint. What happened to you?"

Julien ignored her and walked past her through the door, leaving puddles of water where he stepped.

When he came to the living room, Mrs. Madden was arranging flowers. She looked up when she heard footsteps and said in surprise, "Julien, why are you here? What happened...?"

"Where's Lyra?" Julien interrupted her directly.

Mrs. Madden noticed his attitude was somewhat off.

He seemed to be very angry, so she asked tentatively," Lyra is in her room. Did you two quarrel again?” Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Tell her to come down!" Julien ordered coldly.

Mrs. Madden frowned.

When Julien saw her not moving, he kicked the coffee table and said in a voice so cold it caused others to tremble, "I said, tell her to come down!”

Mrs. Madden was frightened and stood up from the sofa at once. Her face turned pale as she nodded repeatedly. "Okay, okay. I'll call her down now. Agnes, go upstairs and call Lyra.”

"Yes," Agnes, the maid who opened the door earlier, hurriedly replied and went upstairs to call Lyra.

Mrs. Madden looked at Julien timidly. "Julien, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry? Did Lyra do something again? If she did, talk to her nicely. You'll scare her if you act like this."

"Scare her?" Julien stared at Mrs. Madden with cold eyes. "With her guts, is there anything she's afraid of?"

Lyra not only had the audacity to impersonate Sydney, she even tried to kill Sydney several times.

He did not know what Lyra could NOT do.

"What do you mean by that, Julien? What's wrong with Lyra? Do you have to mock her like that?" Mrs. Madden's expression went flat with displeasure.

In her heart, she understood that Lyra had indeed done something to anger him.

Otherwise, he would not say that about Lyra.

Julien ignored Mrs. Madden as Lyra came downstairs.

"Julien, did you come to see me?" Lyra went up to Julien with a happy smile on her face.

Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw his wet appearance. "Why are you so wet, Julien? Agnes, go grab some clothes..."

"No need!" Julien interrupted her coldly.

Lyra could not help but shiver. She finally realized that there was something wrong with his expression. His eyes were cold without a hint of emotion.

She felt like she was going to be torn apart just by glancing at him.

She subconsciously took a step back, pulling away from Julien. She forced a smile on the corner of her lips. "Julien, why are you looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong again?"

She started to think about which of the things she had done might have been discovered by him.

In the end, she found that it was unlikely that he would discover any of them. After all, she had done them so covertly.

However, the next second, Julien's words completely shattered her hopes.

"Lyra Madden, why did you impersonate Sydney?" He questioned with a suppressed but murderous aura.

Bam!

Lyra felt like a thunderbolt just struck her brain. Her entire body froze as her hands and feet went cold. It took a long while before she found her voice. "J... Julien, what are you talking about? Impersonate Sydney? I... I don't know what you're talking about."

He knew. He actually knew!

"Yes, Julien. What do you mean?" Mrs. Madden was also at a loss.

Julien ignored Mrs. Madden and continued to stare at Lyra. The coldness in his eyes seemed to materialize into a knife, hacking her into pieces.

"Even now, you still won't admit it. Since I'm standing here right now, it means I have proof. Six years ago, you posed as Sydney to meet with me, saying that you were my pen pal. From then on, I've loved you and spoiled you. For you, I was so indifferent to Sydney and even caused her to suffer. Lyra Madden, you must’ve been overjoyed when you saw me treat Sydney like that, right?"

Julien's voice sounded very soft and calm, but under this calm was an endless chill.

How could she not be happy? She was a fake who replaced the genuine product. She must have been over the moon when she saw the genuine product being discarded like trash.

Lyra's pupils shrunk to the size of a pinpoint, and her face was white.

After a few seconds, she suddenly cried and shook her head. "No, Julien. That's not true. I didn't impersonate Sydney. I'm Maple Leaf."

Julien looked at her performance coldly with mockery in his eyes.

He already said that he had evidence to prove that she was not his pen pal, yet she was still insisting she was.

It was clear that her psych was not just ordinarily strong.

Would a person like that be stimulated into developing a split personality?

Julien doubted that too.

"Since you said you're Maple Leaf, do you live in Twinriver District? Have you ever had a dog? Do you have a stepmother and sister?" Julien stepped forward to her, asking her a question with every step he took.
