Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! -
Chapter 336 Clarice Is Happy
"Grandma!"
Jayden strode over in a hurry and caught the falling Old Madam Flint.
It was then Felicia came down from the second floor and saw the terrifying scene." Jayden, what happened to Old Madam
Flint?"
"I don't know! She just fainted!" Jayden was terrified.
Felicia ran over and took over. She checked on Old Madam Flint and even performed CPR. "Jayden, call the ambulance!"
"Oh, oh right!" Jayden reacted. He looked around and saw the phone that fell off Old Madam Flint's hands.
He grabbed it immediately and found out that the call was still ongoing.
Sydney's voice came from the other end. ' Grandma? Grandma?"
She heard the little smack from the phone when it fell and day den's panic screams. She believed something must have happened to Old Madam Flint, which fueled her anxiety. However, Old Madam Flint's voice could no longer be heard through the phone.
She was nowhere near the house either, so she had no idea what happened. She clutched her phone tightly and kept on calling for Old Madam Flint, hoping for a reply.
The one who answered in the end was Jayden, not Old Madam Flint, "Sydney, Grandma just fainted!" "What?! She fainted?" Sydney bolted up from the bed. Just when she wanted to ask for more details, the call ended.
Sydney thought Jayden accidentally hung up on her. She called back but she got a busy tone instead.
With all options used, Sydney was forced to put her phone down but her heart remained worried and anxious.
Could it be that Old Madam Flint fainted because she said she aborted the child? If so, she was to be blamed.
Jayden already called the ambulance.
Soon, the ambulance arrived and took Old Madam Flint and Julien away.
It was a rough night for the Flint family. Three out of four of them fainted, and all the responsibility fell on Jayden. If it was not for Felicia's company, he too, would have fainted.
He was just a teenager and his whole life was overprotected by his grandmother, mother, and brother. He lived a carefree life and was allowed to do anything he liked. He never thought that the three main pillars of his life would faint at once.
Meanwhile, Brandon returned home with a sour look.
Mrs. Madden's eyes shone when she saw her husband come back. "Brandon, you're back!"
"Dad." Clarice also welcomed him home.
Brandon nodded and sat down beside his wife. "I'm back."
"Dad, have a glass of water." Clarice poured a glass of water for him.
Brandon received it with a smile on his face. "Good girl."
Clarice blushed but she looked down to conceal the grim in her eyes.
It felt great being praised. She lived every day of her twenty-six years in scoldings and beatings, so she had never enjoyed parental love until she came here. She only found out that parental love was intoxicating.
Unfortunately, such loving parents were not her real parents.
"How was it, Brandon? Did Julien agree to reinstate the engagement and the cooperation between our companies?" Mrs. Madden put her hands together and prayed. "If he said okay to the engagement, who is it going to be? Lyra or Clarice?"
Clarice also got nervous upon hearing, she too looked at Brandon with anticipation.
Brandon clutched the couch tightly and bitterness appeared on his face.
"No. He didn't agree to anything," Brandon said with clenched teeth. The grievance and grudge were obvious between the lines.
Mrs. Madden was shocked. "No? You're saying he didn't reinstate the engagement and the cooperation?"
Brandon put the glass of water on the table and answered with a grim look, "Yes, not even one."
"How? What happened?" Mrs. Madden covered her mouth in shock.
Clarice, on the other hand, showed a hint of delight upon hearing.
If the engagement was not reinstated, she did not have to worry.
She neither wanted to marry the Flint family nor wanted Lyra's engagement with
Julien to be reinstated.
She did not wish for Lyra to have another engagement as it would only be harder for her to chase Lyra out of the family.
As for herself...
A frivolous and slender figure appeared in her mind. She blushed and her heart raced at the thought.
Afraid of being noticed, she looked down and concealed her thoughts from the couple.
Fortunately, the couple barely paid attention to her, so they did not notice the changes in her look.
Mrs. Madden clenched her fists tightly. "Why did Julien say no? We got evidence of him having an affair. How could he say now? Is he not afraid...?"
"What is he afraid of?" Brandon scoffed. ' His reputation and status are for everyone to see. Even if we spread the news of the affair, no one would dare to go against him. At most some whispers in the dark, that's it."
"As for the Internet..." Brandon sighed and grunted. "He must've informed the media platforms before we even spread the news online and we won't be able to post it on any kind of platform. So, trying to tarnish his reputation through the Internet is impossible. Why would he be afraid of us then?"
"We..." Mrs. Madden was silenced. It was only after a while she said with a hoarse voice, "So, we got excited about nothing?'
Brandon sighed. "We did."
They thought they got a hold of Julien's
affair and could use it to get what they wanted.
In the end, things turned out the exact opposite.
Mrs. Madden covered her face and cried." Then, what's going to happen to our company?"
Brandon squinted. "Worse comes to worst, we can only ask for a loan. Put some of our shares out there... but it comes with great risk. If things went wrong, our family might be squeezed out of the board of directors."
Once they were out, Trison Corporation no longer belonged to the Madden family.
Trison Corporation was his blood and sweat, so if it was not the last resort, he would never accept it.
However, the reality was harsh and they
could not get a loan from anyone they knew, including the bank.
Looking at the dispirited Brandon, who somehow looked older, Mrs. Madden felt bad. "Honey..."
"Okay, it's getting late. Let's get some rest first. We'll bring Lyra home tomorrow.
Keep an eye on her and don't let her cause any more trouble. Now I finally understand she was no match for Sydney from the beginning," Brandon said as he got up and rubbed his temples.
Mrs. Madden nodded. "I understand."
The long night finally ended.
On the second morning, Luke came to the hospital to bring Sydney home.
Sydney noticed that he was alone. "Alone?" "Who else?" Luke looked at her curiously.
Sydney stood beside the bed and rubbed her uncomfortable belly. "I thought Cay would be here."
"I called and asked but I couldn't get through. I have no idea where he is or what he is doing, so I came alone," Luke said with a shrug.
Then, he suddenly thought of something and added, "Oh, did something happen between you and Cayden?"
