My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Julien nodded slightly, indicating that he had no doubt about it.

Finn puffed out a cloud of smoke and continued, "So after work last night, I went to the James family's old residence and found the notebook left by my great-great-grandfather, which had details about the history of Madden family's genetic diseases told by Brandon's great-grandfather. I saw in the notes that the kidney failure of the Madden family was only inherited by men, and even women's offspring will not be infected with this disease."

When Julien heard this, his eyes instantly lit up, and a trace of excitement appeared on his expressionless face. "Really?"

"I believe in the authority of the notes." Finn looked at him and said, "You should know that the genes of men and women are quite different. In this world, there are many kinds of genetic diseases, and some of them are only inherited by men instead of women, or the opposite happens. Although it is rare, it does exist."

Julien smiled. "In other words, both Leaf and our children will not suffer from kidney failure."

"That's right." Finn nodded. "If Brandon's great-grandfather didn't blather, that is indeed the case. Women in the Madden family won't inherit this disease, which means that their genes don't carry pathogenic factors, and their children will also be healthy, so you can rest assured now. Of course, if you don't feel at ease, you can bring Sydney for a physical examination every year."

"I know." Julien nodded.

Even if Finn hadn't reminded him, he would do this.

Because even if the possibility was slim, he was still worried.

However, Finn's news was indeed a great surprise for him, and he felt like a giant weight had been lifted off of him.

Finn then told Julien about other major matters concerning Sydney's physical conditioning. After that, the two of them parted and left separately.

As for the lighter, Julien gave it to Finn as promised.

The lighter was indeed precious, but he wouldn't be reluctant to give it to Finn.

At this time, Sydney was still waiting for Julien to return to Finn's office.

After waiting for nearly ten minutes, Sydney still didn't see him come back. Pursing her lips, she muttered, "He has promised to be back in a few minutes. Why hasn't he come back yet? Where did he go?"

She looked down at the time on the phone screen. The next second, her phone suddenly rang, and a strange phone number with no address showed up on the screen.

Sydney's first reaction was that it must be a salesman or cheater, so she hung up directly.

However, just a few seconds later, that stranger called again. The phone kept ringing in her hand annoyingly.

Sydney furrowed her eyebrows and was ready to hang up again.

This time, however, the person calling seemed to have known what was on her mind. While the phone was still ringing, Sydney received a short message, which popped onto the screen with a ding-dong. Sydney didn't have to click it to see the content. Although there was only a short sentence, her face immediately changed upon she saw it.

The message read: Ms. Raines, this is Dallin. Are you sure you won't answer my phone?

Sydney clenched her phone with a jerk, biting her lower lip tightly. She was feeling the hot whips of panic now.

It was Dallin calling her!

Looking at her ringing phone and thinking about the short message she had just seen, Sydney knew she had to answer the call. After taking a deep breath, she reached out for her phone.

This time, her fingers were shaking slightly because she was so anxious.

"Hello?" Sydney answered the call and put the phone to her ear.

Dallin's gentle voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

His voice was quite young, unlike that of a person in his fifties. It was full of vigor like that of a youngster, and this took Sydney by surprise.

"Good evening, Ms. Raines," Dallin greeted her with a smile.

Sydney lowered her eyes, pinched her palms, and suppressed her uneasiness to make her voice sound calm and natural. "It's already so late. What can I do for you, Mr. Sullivan? If I'm not mistaken, it's midnight now. Don't you think it's rude to call at this time and disturb others' rest?"

Hearing Sydney's deliberately provocative words, Dallin was not angry, and the warm smile on his face was like a spring breeze. "I'm sorry for my thoughtlessness, Ms. Raines, but I can't help it. When we first met, I said that I would give you two days to think about it, so I can't wait to call you now. I didn't notice what time it was."

The smile on Sydney's face froze. She didn't expect Dallin to call her due to that matter.

It was midnight now, exactly two days later.

'Should I praise him for his punctuality?' she thought.

Sydney kept silent, and the smile on Dallin's face deepened. "Ms. Raines, two days have passed. What's your decision?"

How could he even have the nerve to ask her that?

Sydney's face twisted for a moment, and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were bloodshot, which showed her great anger.

"Mr. Sullivan, before answering your question, please tell me if you have robbed the parts produced by our cooperative factory." Sydney clenched her phone and asked coldly.

In the face of her questioning, Dallin didn't feel guilty at all, and he even laughed. "Yes, it did happen, and it was me who asked my subordinates to rob your goods."

"I know it was you!" Sydney was overwhelmed with anger. She stood up from the sofa, clutched her phone with both hands and growled regardless of her image, "Dallin, I certainly know why you did this. You just want to threaten me to reconcile and let Greta go, but you are daydreaming. I will never compromise!"

Dallin didn't expect her to say this, and the smile on his face suddenly froze. Soon his face became gloomy, and his voice was no longer gentle. "Ms. Raines, are you serious? I think you know what you will face once your Skylight Corporation has no parts. Or do you have enough money to solve this problem?"

"You don't have to worry about it," Sydney said with a sneer.

Dallin fell silent.

He could tell that she didn't mean to provoke him. Instead, she had the confidence to get through the crisis.

Had she bought the parts?

Or was she going to spend money to get through the crisis?

It shouldn't be the former. This kind of part wasn't easy to buy, because at the beginning of its production, the logos of various companies would be engraved first. It would take Sydney a long time to clean up the logos, so there was no need for her to buy them.

Since she hadn't bought the parts, she must have solved the problem with money.

As for where she got the money, he probably had a guess.

"Ms. Raines, you asked Julien for help, right?" Dallin's eyes sharpened and he asked tentatively.

If Julien really gave Sydney a large sum of money, it showed that Jilien cherished her more than he had thought.

If that was the case, he could make use of her again.

However, Sydney's answer instantly dashed his plan.
