My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 67 Lyra is Missing

Sydney raised her brows. "Why are you coming to us if you're looking for Ms. Madden? Isn’t she with you?"

"That’s right." Luke crossed his arms.

Julien lowered his eyes. "She's not with me."

"She's not?" Luke was stunned before laughing gloatingly. "What? Did you lose her?"

Julien did not answer him.

Luke’s grin disappeared, and it was replaced with shock. "Wait, seriously?"

Sydney looked at Julien. "Ms. Madden is missing, so you came here to find her. Do you think we hid her?"

"Lyra hasn’t come back since she went to the ladies. You guys are the only ones who have a problem with her here." Julien looked her in the eye.

Luke laughed in exasperation. “Why would we hide her just because we have a problem with her? What logic is that? Everyone knows we'll be the first suspects if anything happens to her. We’d be sick in the head to do that."

Julien pursed his lips and did not say anything.

In fact, he also knew that the possibility of Lyra being here was unlikely.

However, he came to take his chances.

"President Flint.” Sydney grabbed the hem of Luke's suit and pulled him to the side. She stepped forward so she was face-to-face with Julien. "I admit that I saw Ms. Madden in the restroom earlier,

but I left before her so I don't know where she went after that. You can check the surveillance footage near the restroom."

"I did. There was no trace of Lyra in the surveillance footage,” Julien said with both fists clenched.

He made a call to Lyra when she did not return to the room, but no one answered. After that, he got the restaurant manager to send someone to look around for her. Alas, she was still nowhere to be found.

The strangest thing was that all the monitors in the restaurant were working properly, but there was no sign of Lyra. Something was obviously not right.

Luke's lips twitched. "If the surveillance camera didn't catch her, it means she deliberately avoided them and then hid. Maybe she’s doing this on purpose just to make you anxious and test her position in your heart. That's not something drama queens like her are above doing."

Julien's face instantly darkened, and the air around him grew cold.

Sydney gave Luke a look, motioning for him to shut up.

How could he call Julien’s beloved a drama queen in front of him? Did he have a death wish?

"Sorry, President Flint. Luke is outspoken. Please don't mind him." Sydney apologized insincerely and then raised her wrist to look at her watch. "It's getting late, so Luke and I will be going now. Take your time looking for Ms. Madden, President Flint. I hope you find her soon. Goodbye!"

After that, she smiled at Julien and took the initiative to take Luke's arm as she walked away.

Seeing the two laughing and joking made Julien's eyes darken, and he felt incredibly irritated.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

In those six years, she had always looked at him like she was dying. Yet, once they were divorced, she was immediately surrounded by so many men, and she was always smiling so brightly at them. How could a fickle woman like that compare to Lyra?

At the thought of his grandmother’s dislike for Lyra and her saying that he best not regret his divorce from Sydney, he thought it was hilarious.

Regret?

Impossible!

Throwing Sydney out of his mind, Julien took out his phone coldly and made a call. "Have you found her?"

“No. Our men and I have searched everywhere near the restaurant, but there's no trace of Ms. Madden.

President Flint, why don't we call the police?" Zach stood at the entrance of the restaurant and proposed while scratching his head.

Julien gripped the phone tightly, his voice low and suppressed. "It's useless. We still don't know if Lyra's disappearance is an accident, so the police won't accept it. We can only wait 48 hours."

"Then what should we do now?" Zach looked around and shivered from the cold.

Julien pondered for a moment. "Continue to ask people around if they've seen Lyra."

"Understood!” Zach nodded as he answered.

Julien put away his phone, left the restaurant, and drove to the Madden residence.

Soon, he arrived.

Just as Julien followed the butler in, Brandon and his wife happened to come down the stairs. Seeing Julien come in alone, Brandon asked curiously, "Julien, where's Lyra?"

Mrs. Madden looked behind him. "Is she still outside?"

"Aunty, Lyra is missing!” Julien glanced at Mrs. Madden and said in a low voice.

Mrs. Madden froze. "What did you say? Lyra is missing?”

Julien nodded.

Brandon's face sank, and he asked loudly, "Julien, wasn't Lyra with you? How could she have gone missing?”

"She went to the washroom during the meal and never came back. I've sent people to look for her, but they haven’t found her yet. I think something might have happened to her," Julien responded with a look of apology in his eyes.

Mrs. Madden's eyes rolled up, and she fainted.

"Honey!" Brandon cried in alarm, hurriedly catching his wife's fallen body.

Julien also came forward to help.

The two of them helped Mrs. Madden to the sofa.

Brandon kept massaging Mrs. Madden's temples.

In the end, Mrs. Madden coughed and woke up. She pounded her chest and cried in pain. "My Lyra. Honey, our Lyra is missing..."

"I know." Brandon held his wife in his arms. His heart ached as he patted her back. "Don’t worry. I'll definitely find Lyra!”

Just as the words left his mouth, the phone rang.

Julien took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID before bringing it to his ear. "Hello.”

"President Flint, we found a clue." Zach’s excited voice rang on the phone. "I just learned from a passerby that Ms. Madden was taken to a van by a masked man."

"A van?" Julien’s eyes narrowed dangerously." Immediately retrieve the surveillance footage from the roads nearby and find out the van’s route."

"Understood." Zach nodded.

After the call, Brandon and his wife stared at Julien intently. "What’s the situation? Is there any news about Lyra?”

"Lyra was kidnapped." Julien placed the phone down and replied with a tone that could kill.

At that, Mrs. Madden's crying grew louder, and she almost fainted again.

Brandon’s expression did not look good either. He gritted his teeth until his cheeks puffed up. "Who dares to kidnap my daughter?"

"We don't know for now. When we catch them-"

Brandon interrupted Julien with a sinister face." When we catch them, leave them to me. I want to make his life worse than death!"

He had to let the person know that kidnapping his daughter was not a good idea.

Since they had kidnapped her, they must be ready to face the consequences!

Julien did not object. "Uncle, let's call the cops first. Since we know for sure that Lyra's disappearance was a kidnapping, the police can file a case immediately. After all, our manpower is limited. We should be able to find Lyra sooner with the help of the police.”

Thinking that it was a logical idea, Brandon was just about to nod in agreement.

However, Mrs. Madden hurriedly stopped them in a shrill voice. "No, don't call the cops. You can't call the cops. I don't want to lose Lyra too. I don't want to!"

Then, as if something had triggered her, her body began to tremble. Panic was written all over her face, and she did not look like a noblewoman at all.

Julien was stunned at Mrs. Madden’s reaction. "Uncle, she’s..."

Brandon hugged Mrs. Madden tighter and coaxed her like she was a child. "Okay, okay. We won't call the police."

When Mrs. Madden heard him, the trembling of her body lessened. However, the fear on her face did not fade away.

Brandon stroked Mrs. Madden's hair and sighed." She's having an attack."
