My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

To get back at Brandon, Harry stole Brandon's daughter and threw her into a river.

Since then, the Raines family and the Madden family had held a feud against each other.

The two families stopped fighting because of Brandon's mother. Although the two families seem to be at peace, Brandon had always resented Harry for killing his daughter and he had never given up his intention to get back at Harry.

Six years ago, which was the third year after Brandon's mother's death,

Brandon managed to get Kaylie to drug Harry, which made Harry suffer from nerves, and Brandon secretly set a trap for Harry, which took Skylight Corporation down. Even if Harry sold all his shares, he could not save the company from going to bankruptcy.

Also, Brandon had someone encourage Harry to commit suicide. Finally, Harry jumped off a building and killed himself.

Even though Sydney did not know the real cause of Harry's death, she blamed the Madden family for Harry's death because she believed that the Madden family's manipulation led to the bankruptcy of Skyligh Corporation, which drove Harry desperate and got him to kill himself. Therefore, Sydney hated the Madden family.

Later, Lyra hypnotized Julien and stole him away from Sydney. She also tried to have Sydney murdered several times, and Brandon, too, had given Sydney a lot of trouble.

All of these things add up to the fact that only one of the Raines family and the Madden family could survive.

Brandon's wife felt a little bit of sympathy for Sydney. She didn't want Sydney to die. But as Brandon's wife, she could only side with the Madden family and hope that the Madden family would win. Although Sydney did have some similarities to Clarice, she was not Clarice after all.

While the Brandon couple were making their next plan, Dallin saw the news about Julien and Sydney in the hotel. At that moment, Dallin was sitting on the couch, looking at his laptop screen, and fondling the tap of his cane. No one knew what he was thinking.

"Mr. Sullivan, Julien gave Sydney so many expensive gifts and showed his affection for Sydney publicly online. It looks like he's serious about Sydney. Maybe we can get back to the plan of using Sydney to get to Julien, "said Neil behind Dallin.

Dallin, however, shook his head. "That doesn't prove that Julien is serious about Sydney, so we can't revive that plan for now."

"Doesn't it?" Neil was surprised.

Dallin set his cane aside, took a sip of his tea, and said, "You don't have a girlfriend, so you don't know. Sometimes men do impressive things for women, but it's just a piece of cake for them. It doesn't mean he's serious about the woman. Julien has a wealth of hundreds of billions of dollars, and his gift to Sydney is only worth tens of millions of dollars. That's no big deal to him. His gift to Sydney was like giving money to a beggar. You've worked with me for so many years, and you know that some men use money to impress women, right?"

Neil nodded repeatedly, "Yes."

Dallin curled his mouth and continued, "Rich men are always generous to their lovers. They often give their lovers gifts, cars, houses, planes, cruises, anything to make women happy... Women cost a lot of money. But does that mean they love those women?"

Neil shook his head, "No. If they loved the woman, they would marry her."

"Exactly. So do you think these gifts that Julien gave Sydney prove that he is serious about Sydney? Such gifts are nothing special. Such games are common for rich men. Some men will give a woman a car o a house, which are more expensive. What are these useless luxuries for?" Dallin put down his teacup.

Neil was speechless.

Dallin took his cane and continued, "As for Julien's confession to Sydney on the Internet, hehe, it's ridiculous. Every man will please his woman. Those are just words. It doesn't cost anything. Look at those young couples. They always say they love each other. Do they really do? Can a simple sentence prove anything? Only naive young people would believe in words."

Neil, who was also a naïve young man, was silent.

He believed that Julien's move meant something.

'As a powerful man like Julien, for him, doing something like that online, it meant he must be serious about Sydney.'

But after hearing Dallin's words, Neil realized he was naive.

'Indeed. Rich men call the women around them darling and say all sorts of affectionate things, but actually, does any of that mean anything? They just play around with women. They can say I love you or all kinds of love words to many women.

'It was foolish of me to have believed Julien was serious about Sydney just because he said something.'

"Mr. Sullivan, so Julien isn't serious about Sydney, right?" Neil frowned.

Dallin narrowed his eyes, "Maybe. It's been a day since I had Skylight's shipment intercepted. Sydney must be very anxious right now and trying to figure out how to fix this. If she can't get the shipment back in two days, Skylight Corporation will be in trouble. She knows that, but she hasn't told Julien about it, so she isn't sure if Julien will help her. Of course, it isn't for sure. Maybe Sydney wants to handle it herself, so she didn't tell Julien. The last time I met her, I could tell she is a tough woman. It's possible she wants to handle it herself."

Neil didn't care what kind of woman Sydney was. When he learned that Julien might not be serious about Sydney, he was upset. "Mr. Sullivan, Julien is powerful. If we're going to get to him, we need to find his weaknesses, so we may succeed. We can't count on Julien's grandmother. She rarely comes out. It's impossible to use his grandmother against him. And we can't count on his stepmother or his brother. Julien is an indifferent man. He wouldn't care about them. Except for them, there is only Sydney."

"I know what you mean. Even though we can't find out how much Julien cares about Sydney this time, I have other plans." Dallin suddenly grabbed his cane and his voice became frightening, the gentleness in his voice completely gone. Now he looked like a dangerous viper.

Neil's eyes sparkled, and he asked, "Sir, what are you going to do?"

Dallin glanced at him and replied, "You'll know later." He had no intention of revealing his plan to his assistant.

Neil was smart and he didn't ask again.

At the moment, Sydney was at Skylight Corporation, unaware that a trap had been set for her. She was sitting in her office right now, on the phone with Mrs. Chase.
