My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 971 You're the One to Leave

Although Sydney complained in her heart, she didn't express it. She squeezed some liquid soap and replied indifferently, "It's not that coincidental. After all, we all live in the center of Port City. It's normal that we meet each other occasionally."

Clarice didn't expect Sydney to reply like that. Clarice's expression became stilted. "You... are right."

Sydney arched her eyebrows and stopped rubbing her hands. Then she turned to look at Clarice. "You... look nervous. You have been like that since you see me. Are you afraid of me?"

Clarice opened her eyes widely and raised her voice suddenly. "That's unreal! How can I be afraid of you? Ms. Raines, you must be joking."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and rubbed her hands quickly.

She rubbed her hands so hard as if the skin on her hands would be rubbed off. It must be painful.

Sydney narrowed her eyes. "I'm joking?"

She sneered meaningfully. "From your reaction, it seems that I'm not joking. Your behavior and expression tell me that you're restless and uneasy. Before you noticed me, you just looked unwell after vomiting, and nothing was strange with your expression. However, after you see me, you're alarmed, nervous, uneasy and afraid. I can't help but doubt that you have played tricks behind my back. Have you?"

Clarice suddenly raised her head and replied immediately, "No, I haven't! Ms. Raines, I haven't played any tricks behind your back. If I have, Mr. Flint won't let me off easily."

When she said so, her expression was extremely sincere.

Sydney could feel that Clarice didn't lie. Sydney frowned in confusion. "Now that you haven't played any tricks behind my back, why do you panic after you see me?"

Even though Clarice said that she hadn't played any tricks behind Sydney's back, Sydney still felt strange. From Clarice's reaction, Sydney couldn't help but doubt that Clarice had hidden something from her.

Meeting Sydney's gaze, Clarice felt that Sydney could see through her. Clarice became more guilty, avoided Sydney's gaze and didn't have the guts to look at Sydney. "I haven't panicked..."

"Stop lying to me!" Sydney was reluctant to hear Clarice's lies anymore. Sydney frowned and shouted angrily, "I have said clearly. As soon as you saw me, you looked so guilty. However, you still deny it. Denna, you're as hypocritical as Brandon now. No wonder you're his daughter."

Sydney's words touched Clarice's raw nerves. Suddenly, Clarice smiled sarcastically and looked at Sydney. Clarice's gaze was filled with complicated emotions that were incomprehensible to Sydney. "Ms. Raines, thank you for your praise, but what you said is wrong."

'I'm not Brandon's daughter.

'Why am I not Brandon's daughter?

'Why am I not born to be a Madden?'

Seeing that Clarice's eyes were suddenly filled with resentment and jealousy, Sydney fell into a trance.

'Jealousy?

'Why is Clarice jealous of me?

'She has no reason to be jealous of me.

'The Maddens are much more powerful and richer than me. I should be jealous of Clarice.

'But the fact is contrary that Clarice is jealous of me.

'It's impossible that she is jealous of my wealth. The Madden family is richer than me.

'Is she jealous of my beauty?

'I'm not being boastful. It's the fact that I'm prettier than her, but she isn't bad-looking. Especially after her skin becomes fairer and she starts to put on makeup, she is also a beauty now. Thus, she isn't jealous of my beauty.

'Now that it's not because of my wealth and looks, is it because of my lover?

'Usually, women care about those things the most. Excluding wealth and looks, men are the only possibility.

'Julien has broad shoulders and a slender waist. He's handsome and extremely rich. He's an eligible bachelor in every aspect. Countless women want to pursue him.

'To say the least, 90% of young ladies in Port City have feelings for him. It's not surprising that Clarice has a crush on him.'

Thinking that Clarice had a crush on Julien, Sydney felt unhappy.

'No wonder she panicked when she saw me just now. She has a crush on Julien and may want to pursue after him. Thus, she reacted like that when she saw me.

'It's quite possible.

'Otherwise, I can't figure out why Clarice was so strange just now.'

The more Sydney thought about it, the surer she became. She even wasn't in the mood for asking Clarice what she had said was wrong. She stared at Clarice, sneered, rinsed the foams from her hands and walked towards the door.

'Wait and see. After I return to the private room, I will teach Julien a lesson.

'It doesn't matter that most of the young ladies in Port City have feelings for him, but he even attracts Clarice.'

Sydney was furious.

Clarice didn't know Sydney's thoughts. Seeing Sydney walking out angrily, Clarice became tense and was afraid that she would meet the Maddens on her way back. Clarice stopped Sydney on impulse. "Ms. Raines, hold on please!"

Sydney paused, turned around and looked at Clarice coldly. "Is there anything else?"

Clarice pinched her palms and hesitated.

Sydney frowned, and her face was filled with impatience. "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was about to turn around and leave.

Clarice reached out her hand anxiously. "Wait."

Sydney stopped. Although she kept silent, she looked at Clarice with an aloof gaze and waited for her to speak.

Clarice bit her lower lip, took a deep breath and met Sydney's gaze.

Even though she felt stressed after she met Sydney's gaze, she still bore it for her purpose.

Clarice said, "Ms. Raines, could you please go to another restaurant to have dinner? Of course, I will afford all of your expenses."

"What?" Sydney felt confused.

Clarice thought that Sydney hadn't heard clearly, so Clarice repeated her words.

Sydney sneered. "Denna, are you out of your mind?"

"What?" Clarice's face twisted.

'How dare she say that I'm out of my mind?'

"If you're not out of your mind, why do you say so to me? How can you ask me to go to another restaurant to have dinner? Is it because you're shameless?" Sydney crossed her arms over her chest, looked at Clarice coldly and showed no respect to Clarice.

There was no need for Sydney to show any respect to Clarice. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

No normal people would ask others to leave a restaurant like that.

After all, Clarice wasn't the owner of the restaurant.

Thus, Sydney was furious.

Clarice didn't expect Sydney to scold her like that. Clarice's face turned ashen in anger. "You..."

"It's enough." Sydney rolled her eyes at Clarice and became more impatient. "I don't know why you ask me to leave the restaurant, and I'm not interested in it. You don't have the right to ask me to do

so. Now that you're reluctant to see me in the restaurant, you're the one who needs to leave. How dare you ask me to leave? You can choose to leave or bear it even if you're reluctant."

After she finished speaking, she ignored Clarice and left the restroom.

Clarice stood there and stamped her foot in anger.

Then she caught up with Sydney immediately because she was curious if Sydney would meet the Maddens.

'It will be great if Sydney doesn't meet Mom and Dad. If they meet each other, I need to distract Mom and Dad in case they overthink.'
