Chapter 132 Expose Her Crimes
Suddenly, Luke's face turned cold. He swept his eyes across the rest of them and settled on Lyra's face. "I've asked the manager in the stable. Sydney's horse is the most docile among them. According to him, it’s impossible for a horse to go crazy suddenly. I think someone must’ve deliberately caused this incident."
"President Chase, do you mean to say that someone manipulated Vice President Raines' horse?" Sharon quickly got what he meant and asked with her eyes wide.
"Not me." Jayden was afraid that they might suspect him, so he shook his head and denied it.
Hunter sipped on his tea calmly. "Not me either."
"Not me too,” Sharon said.
Luke looked at the remaining two. "Then, there are only President Flint and Ms. Madden left. Since President Flint saved my darling, I don’t think it’s him. After all, I don't think he'lll be so bored saving the person he tried to harm. So..."
"So, are you suspecting me?" Lyra tightened her fist and looked as though she was about to cry.
Luke clapped his hands. "You're rather self-aware.
That's right. I'm suspecting you. Out of everyone here, you're the only one with the motive to harm my darling. It’s not the first time, anyway."
"I didn’t do it!" Lyra burst into tears and she tugged on Julien's hands. "Julien, trust me. I didn't do it."
"I trust you." Julien squeezed her hand and tried to calm her down.
When Lyra heard him, she nodded hurriedly and stopped screaming.
Luke rolled his eyes. "Of course, you would. She can commit murder and all it takes for you to believe her will be her tears. After all, you dote on her without any limits. Everyone present here can see it."
Sharon and Hunter nodded.
Even Jayden could not refute and agreed.
His brother was indeed like that.
"I trust Lyra not because I dote on her, but because she has a valid alibi." When Julien saw that no one was on his side, he was neither upset nor worked up about it. He continued, "From the beginning to the end, Lyra didn't interact with Sydney's horse at all. So tell me, how could she be the one who did it?"
Julien also wondered if it was Lyra's alternate personality who did it.
However, when he thought things through, he realized that it could not be Lyra’s alternate personality. After all, she did not appear.
Luke was momentarily taken aback and realized that Julien was right.
When Sydney was choosing her horse, Lyra was not there so it was impossible for her to touch the horse beforehand. There was no way she could predict which horse Sydney was going to choose.
Unless Lyra did something to all of the horses there. If so, one of their horses would be abnormal as well. Yet, the rest of them were all fine. Could this be just an accident?
"Why not get the manager of the stable here and ask him to give the horses a comprehensive check? We can find out what happened then.” Hunter suggested.
Julien nodded. "Let’s get him here." NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Very quickly, the manager of the stable arrived at the villa.
Luke asked what happened to Sydney's horse.
The manager replied, "Ms. Raines’ horse was trying to mate."
"What?" Everyone was stunned.
Lyra lowered her head and a smug smile appeared on her face.
"Trying to mate?" Luke had a strange expression." This isn't the season for them to be mating."
Hunter, Sharon, and Jayden looked at the manager as well.
The manager shook his head. "The mating season is over, but it doesn't mean that the animals will not
mate. Sometimes, they might be stimulated by certain things and start acting like that."
Julien asked in a low voice, "Why did Sydney's horse suddenly decide to mate?"
The manager gave the question some thought and replied, "I have no idea for now. Maybe it smelled something or ate something. I don't know the exact reason, but it could be either."
"I don't think the horse ate anything. It wasn't fed when it came out," Sharon said.
She was present when Sydney picked up the horse.
"So, it smelled something?" Luke touched his chin.
Hunter suddenly smiled. "Could it be Sydney's perfume?"
"Hmm..." Everyone wondered.
That was indeed possible.
"So, this incident was purely an accident," Sharon said.
Even though Luke did not want to accept this outcome, he could not do anything else. He turned around to leave.
"Wait." Julien waved at the manager of the stable and he left. He then stopped Luke from leaving.
Luke halted his footsteps. "What is it?"
Hunter, Sharon, and Jayden looked at Julien.
Even Lyra looked at him in confusion.
Julien tugged on Lyra’s hand. "Since this incident is now clear, shouldn’t you apologize to Lyra?"
Luke's eyes narrowed. "Apologize? You want me to apologize to her?"
He pointed at Lyra.
Julien glared at him. "You don't want to?"
"That’s right. I don’t want to and I won't. Why should I? I admit that I wronged her this time, but what she did to my darling previously was all true. Has she ever apologized to my darling? Instead, you're the one who apologized every time."
Luke looked at Julien mockingly. "After she hurt my darling, all she did was hide behind you. Did I say anything about this? Did I act like how you are now? Did I force her to come out and apologize back then? So why should I apologize now?"
Julien's expression was dark.
Lyra lowered her head in embarrassment.
Hunter tilted his head and looked at them as though he was watching a show. Sharon was also watching.
Jayden blinked in confusion and asked, "Bro, what did Lyra do to Sydney? Why must you apologize in her stead?"
When Lyra heard him, anger flashed in her eyes.
Did Jayden do this on purpose?
"Shut up." Julien frowned and scolded Jayden.
Jayden felt a little aggrieved.
He only wanted to know what happened, so why was his brother so angry?
Why?
Luke noticed how upset Jayden got. He crossed his arms and said, "Hey, boy. Since you want to know, I'll tell you."
"Sure." Jayden's eyes brightened.
"Julien..." Lyra tugged on Julien's shoulder anxiously, wanting Julien to stop him.
However, it was too late.
"Boy, this sister-in-law of yours is a demon in disguise. She used publicity to frame Sydney for hitting her with a car six years ago. Luckily, Sydney found the surveillance video from before and proved herself innocent.
"Besides that, your sister-in-law used lotion and made Sydney fall on her head. Just two days ago, she pushed Sydney down the stairs with the intention to kill her. How's that? Do you understand what your sister-in-law did to my darling now?" Luke looked at Jayden's stunned expression with satisfaction.
Besides Jayden, Sharon and Hunter were also stunned.
They knew nothing about this.
"Bro, is this true? Lyra did all these to Sydney?" Jayden clenched his fists and looked toward Julien with a conflicting expression.
During this period, he put all his attention on basketball and had no idea that Sydney went through all that.
Julien's face was gloomy, and he said nothing.
Lyra tightened her grip on his shoulder and also remained silent.
When Jayden saw their reaction, he realized that what Luke said was true.
He also came to the revelation that Lyra was not as kind as he thought she was.
However, he did not expect her to be this vicious, so much so that she even tried to kill Sydney.
