Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!
Chapter 361 The Daughter Pays the Father's Debt

"That's right, but what I have here is genuine evidence. First of all, on the adoption contract are certificates issued by the police and the orphanage, as well as the official seals. This can never be faked, otherwise, it would be a violation of the law. I, Brandon Madden, won't be stupid enough to break the law in public, right?" Brandon looked at the group of reporters and said coldly.

The reporters and the viewers in the live broadcast lobby had nothing to say.

After all, that was true.

If the papers were fake, Brandon would not dare to say that there were the official seals of the police and orphanage. If the police or orphanage came out and said it was not their seal, it would be the same as Brandon sending himself to jail.

Thus, it must be true that Lyra was not Brandon's biological daughter.

Then, Brandon continued, "Next is regarding Lyra's blood type. I can ask the police to have them conduct a DNA test in front of the public!"

He even dared to have a DNA test done. It seemed like Lyra was not his biological daughter.

The reporters hurriedly said, "No, there's no need. We believe you, President Madden.

At the detention center, Lyra saw Brandon hold up the adoption certificate and suggest a DNA test, and her mind went blank.

At that moment, she could no longer deceive herself that she was the biological child of the Madden couple.

"Ahhhhh!" Lyra broke down and screamed. The police officer outside was startled and hurriedly opened the door to ask, "What's wrong?" Lyra ignored the officer's concern and stared at the TV in front of her, her expression twisting constantly.

Why?

'Why aren't I their biological child?

'Even if I'm not their biological daughter, why did Dad announce it? He destroyed my dignity in public. He destroyed my everything!

I can't accept this. I can't accept this!'

Lyra trembled in laughter and tears as if she had gone mad.

The officer glanced at the TV. He seemed to guess why she was like this and gave her a sympathetic look before going out and closing the door again. At the site, the reporters also sympathized with Brandon.

After all, the Madden family and Trison Corporation were harmed to this point because of an adopted daughter. It was pitiful.

The audience that had been displeased with Brandon's choice to sever ties with his daughter at this time no longer felt dissatisfied. They only felt regretful.

If Lyra was Brandon's biological daughter, they would scold him for being coldblooded and heartless for severing their ties at this point.

However, it was now confirmed that Lyra was not his biological daughter, so the result was naturally different.

She was not his biological daughter, but she was raised till adulthood and lived a luxurious life for more than twenty years. Before she broke the law, the Madden family never gave up on her, and they only let her go after this time. Thus, the Madden family already did well enough. They were extremely benevolent.

That was why everyone could understand why Brandon chose to give up on Lyra now.

After all, she was not his biological daughter. After how much Lyra harmed the Madden family, she should feel grateful that the Madden family simply cut off relations with her without telling her to return everything she enjoyed from them. Similarly, the bigwigs in the business world who watched the press conference originally felt that Brandon was too cold and untrustworthy when they saw him cut off relations with Lyra.

However, they also changed their minds now. Brandon raised a baby abandoned in an orphanage to adulthood. This was enough to prove that his character was not that bad, so they decided not to withdraw their partnerships with him.

In the hospital, Zach looked at Julien and said, "So, this was the trick up Brandon's sleeve. He announced Lyra's identity and pushed her out to let the Madden family and Trison Corporation get away. I have to say that this old fox is capable."

Julien sneered. "He squeezed out Lyra's final value. He's indeed capable, but now that he's done this, the Madden family and Lyra will be complete enemies. With Lyra's twisted character, she won't let the Madden family off when she comes out of prison."

"Yes." Zach nodded and added, "But with Brandon's cunning, it's impossible that he doesn't know that. Maybe he has a way to keep Lyra from being released?"

Julien tapped his finger on the edge of the bed. "If that's the case, isn't that a good thing?"

Zach smiled. "That's true."

Sydney naturally shared the same thoughts as those two.

Her thoughts were the same as Julien's. If Brandon was afraid that Lyra would get revenge after she got out, he would make a scheme to keep her from getting out of prison. This was something that Sydney wanted to see.

This way, she had one less enemy to deal with and could focus on the Madden family.

Sydney narrowed her eyes as she contemplated.

At the scene, the reporters' questions continued.

"President Madden, why did you and your wife want to adopt Lyra?"

Brandon replied, "You all know the news about my eldest daughter coming back some time ago, right?"

The crowd nodded.

Of course, they knew. There had been quite a huge commotion that time. After all, everyone knew that there was only one daughter in the Madden family, and that person was Lyra Madden. Unexpectedly, the Madden family suddenly announced to the public the return of their eldest daughter.

At that time, everyone was curious. If Clarice Madden was their biological daughter, why did the Madden family hide her and only announce her identity now?

Would they get the answer to that question?

The crowd's eyes burned into Brandon.

Brandon said, "Twenty-six years ago, my eldest daughter was kidnapped and thrown into the river. My wife and I thought that our daughter died, and my wife suffered a blow. To appease her, I adopted Lyra from the orphanage. Some time ago, my wife and I accidentally learned that our eldest daughter didn't die that year, so we brought her home." "So, that's it." The crowd was struck by a realization.

Then, a reporter asked, "President Madden, who kidnapped your eldest daughter and threw her into the river?"

This question happened to be what the other reporters and the audience in the live broadcast lobby wanted to know.

After all, they were most interested in the gossip of wealthy people, especially if the gossip involved a crime.

In the hospital, Zach frowned slightly." President Flint, Brandon is talking about Ms. Raines' father, right?" Julien nodded. "Yes."

"Will he announce it? If he does, the Internet will attack Ms. Raines again." Zach looked at Julien worriedly.

After all, Harry kidnapped someone else's daughter and threw her into the river to kill her. Such a heinous act would provoke the netizens' outrage.

Since Harry was not around anymore, the netizens' anger would flock to Sydney instead. That was because, in their view, it was only right that the daughter paid for the father's debt.

If that happened, Sydney would be scolded worse than the previous time.

Julien clenched his fists and stared at the TV across the room grimly. "He won't say it. He won't dare to."

"Why not?" Zach was confused.

Julien's thin lips curled in a cold smile. "If he says, the police will investigate what happened that year. Back then, to develop Trison, he stole Skylight's latest research breakthrough and forced a researcher to die. It won't be good for him if this matter is brought to light again. After all, Clarice is fine now, but the researcher ended up dying."

"I see." Zach nodded.

Sure enough, just as Julien said, Brandon did not have the intention to answer truthfully. He only revealed great hatred for the culprit.

He said suggestively, "Forget it. It's been more than twenty years since the incident, so I won't talk about it. The person who kidnapped my eldest daughter back then is dead now."

"The person is dead?" The reporters were shocked.
