Chapter 233 Made the First Move
Sydney straightened her back. "You found someone?” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"Yes." Hunter nodded.
Sydney bit her lip. "From where?"
"In the countryside. She comes from a patriarchal family, and she was abused since she was a child. She was never schooled,” Hunter answered.
Sydney frowned. "I don’t think that'll fit."
If she was never schooled, then how could she be their spy?
Hunter guessed what Sydney was thinking. He smiled and said, "No. On the contrary, she’ll fit right into our criteria. Her eyes look the same as Mrs. Madden's.
Moreover, for someone who was abused since young and wasn't schooled, isn't that a good card to gain pity?"
Something flashed across Sydney’s eyes and she suddenly understood what he meant. "You want to make use of the guilt Brandon Madden and his wife have toward Clarice?"
"That's right. The worse Clarice’s conditions are, the better Brandon Madden and his wife will treat her. This way, she can get closer to the couple and help us get the information that we need," Hunter laid down on his bed and said meaningfully.
Sydney twirled her pen. "I understand. When should we arrange a meeting between the fake Clarice and the Maddens?"
"In two days. I'm busy training her for now. I need you to get some DNA specimens from the Maddens. I’ll bring them to all the large hospitals and laboratories in Port City, so even if the Maddens go for a DNA paternity test with her in the future, she will not be exposed."
Sydney smiled. "I'll try to get it."
"Sure." Hunter stretched. "I believe you."
After the call ended, Sydney put down her phone and a glimmer of delight appeared in her eyes.
She had to meet Lyra to get her DNA specimen.
She decided to not put Brandon Madden and his wife into consideration.
First, she had no reason to meet up with Brandon Madden or his wife.
Secondly, if she really could not get both of their hair when they met, she could not go ahead and pluck their hair directly.
However, Lyra was a different story. Sydney could go and pluck her hair.
As she thought about that, Sydney called Sophie into her office.
"President Raines, do you have any orders?" Sydney went into her office almost immediately.
Sydney leaned against her chair. "I want to hire someone to keep an eye on Lyra. Try to find out Lyra's schedule for the next two days."
Although Sophie did not understand Sydney's actions, she did not question her. She nodded. "I understand.”
"Go ahead." Sydney nodded.
Sophie turned around and walked out.
Sydney held her pen once more and started working.
In the next two days, Sophie found that Lyra did not leave her house.
She only left her house twice and headed to the hospital. She most likely went to see Julien.
For an unknown reason, Lyra only stayed for a short while in the hospital and went home. This occurred twice and Lyra did not leave her house since then.
Sydney was rather anxious. Hunter already finished his training with the fake Clarice, but she still had not obtained Lyra's hair.
"This can’t be." Sydney put on her jacket and left her office.
She had to make the first move. She could not afford to wait longer.
She gave Finn a call and headed to the hospital.
"This is your first time calling me." Finn quickly
answered the phone and his voice was also notably delighted that she called.
Sydney was standing at the corner of the main lobby." Is Lyra still in the hospital?"
"Are you looking for her?" Finn frowned.
Sydney nodded. "Is she still there?”
“She's outside Julien's door. She wanted to meet Julien, but I think Julien didn't want to see her," Finn said as he looked at a woman standing outside the ward. The woman had her fists clenched in
anger, and Finn could not hide his mockery.
Sydney blinked. "Julien refused to see her?"
How could that be possible?
Lyra was his sweetheart, so how could he do this to her?
"Yes. Julien was acting weird for the past few days. He met everyone except for her." Finn pushed his glasses.
Sydney was flabbergasted.
It was true. No wonder someone told her that Lyra stayed in the hospital only for a short moment before she left. So, this was what happened.
What happened? Were they not madly in love? Why did they suddenly have a fight?
Sydney sneered and stopped her thoughts. She added, "I see. Can you do me a favor?"
"Just say it. I can do anything for you." Finn got excited suddenly.
Since she was asking him for help, did that mean that his angel had forgiven him?
Sydney could hear the excitement in his voice. Her mouth twitched, unable to understand his excitement.
“Can you lead Lyra to the main lobby? I want her to notice me."
Finn narrowed his eyes. "Do you have any business with her?"
"I guess so." Sydney did not want to elaborate further.
Finn also knowingly stopped asking. He nodded and said, "I understand. I'll bring her there soon."
"Thank you.” Sydney hung up.
Finn put down his phone and walked toward Lyra with both his hands in his white coat. He stood next to her and stared at the shut door. "Since you know that he’s not willing to see you, waiting here won’t help. Didn't you already know this two days ago?"
Lyra clenched her fists. "Finn, do you think Julien found out what I did? Did he find out that my dissociative personality disorder is fake...?"
Or did he find out that she was just a stand-in for Sydney?
When Lyra thought about the two possibilities, Lyra's heart rate increased uneasily.
No matter which one it was, she would be done for.
"I don't think so. If it is, he'd have looked for you instead of refusing to see you." Finn shrugged.
When Lyra heard him, her heart calmed down a little, yet she was still uneasy. "Why do you think he refuses to see me?"
Even though it was unlikely that Julien found out about anything, Lyra was still anxious.
He could be this cold to her even before he found out the truth. She could no longer confidently claim that she was his fiancee.
"Who knows? Maybe he was angry that you reopened his wounds two days ago." Finn smiled and joked.
Lyra said, "Julien can’t be this petty, right?"
"I just made a wild guess, and you’ll have to find out for yourself. However, it's obvious that he doesn't want to see you. Just go home first and come back a few days later," Finn said as he pushed his glasses.
Lyra agreed with him. "Fine, then. Help me inform Julien that I'm leaving."
“Sure." Finn nodded and walked in.
When Lyra saw that the door closed once more, she turned to the elevator.
In the room, Julien was looking through some documents when he heard a pair of approaching footsteps. He said without looking up, "It’s not time for your rounds. Why are you here?" "I’m here to help Lyra send a word. She left.” Finn leaned against the wall as he looked at Julien.
Julien just nodded and said nothing else.
Finn saw how calm he was and raised his eyebrow." Why are you suddenly so cold toward Lyra? This isn’t like you at all."
