My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 68 The Second Gift

"An attack?"

"Yes." Brandon nodded. "Lyra must have told you that she had an elder sister, right?"

Julien hummed in agreement.

An intense hatred immediately appeared in Brandon's eyes as his face distorted. "Her name was Clarice. She was our first daughter, but she was kidnapped when she was very young. Later, we called the police and angered the kidnapper, so he ended up drowning Clarice. That was when Mrs. Madden’s mental state began to drift off, until..."

Brandon's eyes flickered. "Until Lyra was born, which solaced her, and she got better. However, I can't believe that Lyra would get kidnapped and cause Mrs. Madden’s illness to relapse after more than 20 years!"

Julien lifted his chin slightly in understanding.

Mrs. Madden was worried that if they called the police this time and angered the kidnapper, they would also kill Lyra.

"In that case, I'll call a security company and hire a group of people to save Lyra."

Julien was just about to call when a phone rang. This time, it was Brandon’s.

Brandon let Mrs. Madden go and took out his phone.

The caller ID was an unfamiliar number, and he could not even tell which city it was from.

He hesitated for a few seconds but answered it. "This is Brandon Madden."

"I heard you’re looking for me?" The tone of the man’s voice on the phone was light but cold.

Brandon frowned. "Who are you?"

"Have you forgotten me so soon? I told you last time that I had a second gift for you." The man cackled, but it only gave Brandon goosebumps.

Brandon suddenly recalled the man, and the expression on his face shifted. He gritted out two words between his teeth. "It's you!"

The fox man from the last time was still fresh in his memory!

Julien looked at Brandon suspiciously. "What's wrong?”

Brandon's hand that was squeezing the phone trembled, but he did not respond.

On the phone, the fox man laughed cheerfully. "It's me. I heard you were looking for me, so I took the initiative to show up. Are you touched?"

"Who said we were looking for you?" Brandon was so angry that even his neck was flushed.

He would be insane to look for this madman.

"You're looking for the person who took Lyra Madden, right? Isn't that the same as looking for me?” the fox man said sinisterly.

Brandon suddenly stood up. "You're the one who took Lyra?”

Julien’s eyes widened, his gaze fixed on the phone in Brandon's hand.

As the most anxious one out of the three, Mrs. Madden grabbed the phone. "Who are you? Why did you kidnap my daughter? Please let her go. I'll give you whatever you want." Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

"You'll give me whatever I want? Really?” The fox man's tone sounded playful.

Mrs. Madden nodded repeatedly. "Yes. You can have as much money as you want!”

"I don't want money. How about this? As long as you give me Trison Corporation, I'll let your daughter go immediately.” The fox man laughed wickedly.

At that, Mrs. Madden's expression froze.

Brandon snatched the phone back. "In your dreams!"

There was no way the fox man was getting Trison Corporation.

The fox man did not get angry either. "I'm just joking. Don't worry. I never planned on exchanging Lyra Madden for Trison Corporation anyway. After all, I know very well that Lyra Madden isn't worth it." "Then why did you kidnap Lyra?” Julien clenched his fists in his trouser pocket and spoke in a cold voice.

The fox man was a little surprised. "So President Flint is there too."

Julien was not surprised that the person knew him. After all, if the person had a grudge against the Madden family, he had to know all of the Madden family's network of people. As such, it was not surprising that he knew Julien.

"Answer me! What do you want?" Julien asked again.

The fox man stopped laughing, and his voice turned grim. "What I want is simple. She harmed the person I care most about, so I'll make her pay a painful price."

Harmed?

Julien lowered his eyes and thought about it.

Lyra had only harmed one person recently, and that was Sydney.

"So the person you care about is Sydney Raines?" Julien clenched his fists tightly, the air around him cold.

At the restaurant, he had just been thinking about all the men around her, and now, here came another one. Maybe this one would not be the last either. Maybe more men had yet shown up.

It seemed like she had befriended a large number of men behind his back before their marriage. What an upstanding woman she was!

"It's Sydney. Sydney harmed our Lyra!" Mrs. Madden's eyes widened and overflowed with tears again. "Why? Why can't both my daughters escape the clutches of the Raines family?”

Julien's eyes flashed at those words.

It was no wonder the Madden family hated the Raines family so much.

It turned out that Clarice Madden's death was related to the Raines family.

"You're wrong, Mrs. Madden. It was your daughter who harmed Sydney first, so don't blame me for laying hands on her. President Madden, turn on the computer. I’ll let you see your daughter. This is my second gift to you,” the man said before he cackled again.

"Get the computer!" Brandon ordered in a fury.

Soon, the butler brought the computer over.

As soon as Brandon turned it on, a face wearing a fox mask popped up on the screen, startling Brandon and his wife.

Julien’s eyes were locked on the fox man, trying to find any tattoos, moles, or other markings on the man's exposed skin.

He would be able to find the fox man based on the markings.

Unfortunately, the fox man’s body was clean, and

there was nothing to see.

"Where’s my daughter? You said you’d let me see my daughter! Where is she?!" Mrs. Madden grasped the sides of the computer and asked frantically.

The fox man sat on an armchair with his legs crossed. In his hand was a glass of red wine, which he swirled gently. "Don’t be in such a hurry, Mrs. Madden. You'll see her soon."

Then, the computer screen was divided in two. The left side was the fox man, and the right side was Lyra.

Lyra was currently tied to a chair with her head slightly lowered and unresponsive. She was probably unconscious.

Behind her stood a large muscled man whose face was covered with a mask. They could only see his eyes and mouth but none of his other features.

That image almost made Mrs. Madden collapse. "Lyra!"

Brandon also glared furiously at the fox man.

Meanwhile, Julien asked with a frosty face, "What did you do to Lyra?"

"Don't worry. She’s fine. Dan, wake her." The fox man propped his head up and ordered.

The large man behind Lyra responded and stepped out of the frame to bring a bucket of water. Then, he splashed it all over Lyra.

"Ah!” Lyra woke up with a scream.

"Lyra!" Mrs. Madden hurriedly cried out.

Lyra was stunned for a moment before she responded loudly, "Mom? Mom, is that you?"

"It's me. It's me." Mrs. Madden covered her mouth and sobbed.

Lyra also cried as she looked around. "Mom, where are you? Why can't I see you? I'm scared. Hurry up and save me."

"Don’t be scared, Lyra. Mom will save you. Your dad and Julien are here too. They'll save you," Mrs.

Madden said. Then, she pulled Brandon and Julien’s sleeves, signaling them to speak.

Brandon said, "Don’t worry, Lyra. Dad will definitely save you."

"I'm here too." Julien looked at the miserable Lyra on the screen and softened his tone as much as possible to soothe her. "There doesn’t seem to be a camera on your side, so you can’t see us, but don't be scared.

We're watching over you.”

Her parents and beloved already knew that she had been kidnapped and were discussing how to rescue her. Hence, the fear in Lyra's heart finally alleviated, but it was replaced by intense hatred instead.

She had woken up once when they were talking and heard that she was kidnapped because of Sydney.

She would definitely get her revenge on Sydney!
