Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 172 Belittle Them Both

"Are you new?" Lyra looked at the front desk lady in disdain.

The lady shook her head. "Of course, not."

"If you’re not, then why are you stopping me? Don't you know who I am?" Lyra pointed at herself.

She was Julien's fiancee and the future wife of Flint Corporation President.

How dare this front desk lady stop her?

Faced with Lyra's questioning, the front desk lady was placed in a difficult position.

She tried her best to maintain her smile and said apologetically, "Ms.Madden, I know who you are, but I really can’t let you up. This is the direct order from President Flint.”

"Julien ordered this?" Lyra was stunned and clenched her fists. She then asked in a cold voice, "What did he say?"

"President Flint ordered that Ms.Madden has to come with an appointment from now on. Without an appointment, you cannot head upstairs. If you don't believe me, you can contact President Flint yourself.”

After saying that, the front desk lady bowed and walked toward the elevator, notably using herself as a shield against Lyra.

When Lyra saw that, anger welled up within her.

Lyra sneered and turned toward the lobby's rest area to give Julien a call.

Julien was in the middle of a meeting and frowned when he heard his phone ring. He looked at the phone screen.

When he saw that it was Lyra, his expression turned cold and he hung up the phone immediately. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

When Lyra saw that the call ended before it was answered or before it reached the mailbox, she was entirely stunned.

Julien hung up on her?

Aside from anger, Lyra also felt threatened.

What was he doing? Why did he not pick up her call?

Lyra bit her lip and refused to think further. She called Julien once more.

No matter what, he had to pick up.

"We're almost done here. Next, we’ll talk about the precautions and rules of the project. From my side..."

Before Julien could finish his sentence, his phone rang again.

When he saw that it was Lyra again, his face darkened. Impatience was written all over his face, and he hung up the call once more.

However, within a few seconds, his phone rang again.

A senior director on Julien’s right stole a glance at the phone and saw "Lyra".

He instantly gave Julien an understanding smile. " President Flint, you should pick up the call since it's from your fiancee. It could be an emergency."

At the end of the meeting table, Sydney was sitting on the spot furthest away from Julien. She raised her eyebrow.

It was Lyra’s call.

Sydney looked at Julien with amusement.

He loved her so much, and now he did not even pick up her call? Did both of them have a fallout?

Sydney was not the only one who had these thoughts. Everyone in the same room had their own speculations.

After all, everyone saw what Julien did moments ago.

If President Flint's marriage with the Maddens fell through, then they would all consider their attitude toward the Maddens.

Ever since President Flint got engaged with the daughter of the Maddens two months ago, the Maddens had become more arrogant than ever. Everyone disliked them and naturally hoped that their relationship with President Flint would turn sour one day.

"Sorry, I’ll have to take this call. Let’s take a short break." Julien naturally did not know what everyone else in the room was thinking. He stood up with his phone still ringing.

He knew that Lyra would not give up. If he refused to answer, she would just keep calling until he did. Even if he turned his phone off, she might call Zach instead.

"We understand. Business matters are important, but family matters are important as well. President Flint, go quickly. Don't make your fiancee wait," one of the senior directors said with a smile.

Julien nodded and walked out of the conference room.

Zach followed after him.

When the two of them left, the meeting room instantly became livelier.

"Mr. Flint is a rare, talented businessman.

Unfortunately, he’s rather blind when it comes to women. He fell in love with the Madden girl. You can tell how cumbersome she can be just from the phone call. With a woman like her, Mr.Flint will definitely have to suffer in the future."

"Exactly. My previous lover was just like that - she’d keep calling until I answered the phone. It was really annoying."

"President Raines." Suddenly, one of the senior directors looked toward Sydney.

Sydney was sipping on tea as she listened to their gossip about Julien and Lyra. It was interesting to hear, but she did not expect someone to mention her name.

"Mr. Simon, what's the matter?" Sydney put down her cup and smiled at the senior director who called her.

Mr.Simon said, "You’re better than Lyra Madden in both appearance and capabilities. President Flint must be really blind to divorce you and choose that girl from Madden."

Sydney stared at him for a few seconds and instantly understood his intentions.

This man was jealous that a junior like her surpassed him and got the position of the main cooperation partner. Therefore, he wanted to create a conflict between her, Julien, and Lyra.

What a shameless old man.

Sydney cursed at Mr.Simon in her heart, but she kept smiling as she said, "Mr. Simon, you must be joking. How can Mr. Flint be blind? I think he’s really lucky since he found true love after all.

Moreover, naive and innocent girls nowadays are really popular among domineering men like Mr. Flint. Mr. Flint likes innocent girls like Ms.Madden. As for me..."

Sydney's smile deepened as she continued, "Mr. Simon, you already said that my appearance and capabilities are both better than Ms.Madden. I think I can even call myself a goddess. Therefore, I should get myself a man who is naive and innocent like

Ms.Madden. Men like that are young, and they'll know how to make me happy for sure. Therefore, my divorce from President Flint was a great decision for both of us. Mr. Simon, I think you should stop calling any one of us blind."

"President Raines, you..." Mr. Simon's mouth twitched.

This woman was really shameless. She belittled both President Flint and Lyra Madden at the same time -President Flint liked girls like Lyra Madden who was useless, and President Flint himself was old and could not make her happy.

After that, she even praised herself. Impressive.

She successfully shut Mr. Simon up, and other senior directors were also speechless.

Everyone instantly understood that Sydney was not an easy person to deal with. If anyone dared to target her, she would most likely fight back.

Brandon Madden was already a perfect example of someone who suffered in her hands.

Sydney glanced at those people who were no longer speaking. She raised her teacup to cover her mischievous smile.

Outside the conference room, Julien answered the call.

Before he could speak, Lyra already started complaining. "Julien, why didn't you answer my calls?

"I'm in a meeting," Julien frowned and replied.

Lyra bit her lip. "But you used to answer my calls even if you're in the middle of a meeting. Julien, are you angry with me?"

Julien cast his eyes downward to cover the gloominess in his eyes. "Then tell me, what am I angry about?"

"You must be mad at me for switching out Ms. Raines's plans," Lyra replied in a low voice.

Julien pursed his lips. "At least you know."

"Dad came back and told me about it." Lyra nodded. "I went to Flint Corporation wanting to explain this matter to you, but someone stopped me. Julien, did you tell the front desk to stop me from going upstairs?"
