Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 290 Kill the Trend

"What?" Julien's expression changed instantly and his aura became intensely oppressive.

After a few seconds, he asked, "How's Sydney now?"

"Ms. Raines remained in her office without heading out, so the reporters and netizens haven't done much harm to her. But I think this has affected Ms. Raines' mental health," Zach said.

Julien narrowed his eyes. "Expose the scandals of some celebrities and try to shift everyone's attention somewhere else. Jot down all the people who threw malicious comments at Sydney, and those who threatened her."

He would deal with them later.

"Yes." Zach nodded and did as he was told.

Julien fished out his phone from his pocket and called Sydney. "The number you have dialed is currently busy. Please call again..."

Busy?

Julien frowned.

Who was she talking to?

Layden, Luke, and Hunter's faces appeared in Julien’s mind and his expression darkened.

He kept his phone and walked toward the elevator.

He was still worried.

He had to personally take a look.

In Skylight Corporation, when Sydney saw that Julien had called, something flashed across her eyes but it quickly disappeared.

She could already guess why he called.

It must be because of what happened on the Internet.

"Sydney, are you still there?" On the other side of the phone, Hunter did not hear her reply and called for her.

Sydney put the phone next to her ear once again and said, "I'm here. Sorry, there’s an incoming call just now."

“Who is it?" Hunter was curious.

Sydney said, "Doesn't matter.”

"Alright." Hunter shrugged and did not probe further. His expression was serious as he said, "Since Finn James was the main perpetrator of Lyra's incident, he should stand out and prove your innocence. Otherwise, this will be difficult

to handle."

"I know." Sydney nodded. "I tried calling him, but no one answered."

"He must be in the middle of a surgery. There's a politician from overseas with a brain tumor. He heard that Finn can perform the surgery and even have a high success rate, so he came all the way here. The surgery is scheduled for today. My father is in the hospital with him. This surgery is long, and it will take more than ten hours to complete," Hunter said.

Sydney nodded in realization. 'I see."

She thought that Finn did not answer her call on purpose.

Since it was not on purpose, she felt somewhat reassured.

"So, I have to wait for more than ten hours before this matter can be resolved?"

Sydney frowned.

Ten hours. Things would have gone out of hand by then.

More importantly, Stephen would make her return the management rights by then.

Hunter sighed. "That’s right. We can only wait. But I can help you kill the trend on the Internet and you can take some time to deal with Skylight's stock... Eh?”

He suddenly saw something and blinked in surprise.

"What is it?" Sydney asked.

Hunter inched closer to his computer to double-check. When he made sure that he was not mistaken, he swallowed and said," Sydney, there’s good news. News related to you on the Internet had gone down by a fair bit. Did you hire someone to do it?" "No." Sydney shook her head.

Hunter frowned. "That's weird. I saw that it was still firing up just now. Now, it has almost disappeared completely. If it's not you, who could it be? Could it be Luke or that brother of yours?”

"Impossible." Sydney shook her head confidently. "A lot of reporters went to Luke as well and he must be busy dealing with them. Cay is in a confined shot today, so he probably still doesn’t know what happened. It's not him."

"Not Cayden and not Luke, then who could it be? Could it be...?" Hunter thought of someone and his face darkened.

Sydney thought of him too. She said slowly, "Julien Flint." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

It must be him. He even tried calling her just now.

"I think it's him too, and the possibility is high. If it's him, will you forgive him after this?" Hunter tested the waters.

Sydney replied in a low voice, "No. This is two separate matters.”

When Hunter heard that, he smiled. "That's great, then."

Sydney found his reaction out of ordinary." Aren’t you Julien's friend? Why do you not want me to forgive him?

"Hmm..." Hunter looked away guiltily and chuckled. "I’ll always stand on the reasonable side instead of helping my friend out. He treated you so badly back then, so of course, I won't support him."

"Wow, you're quite an open-minded person." Sydney nodded.

Hunter heard that she believed him and heaved a breath of relief.

"Hunter, I'll hang up first." Sydney rubbed her temples.

Hunter nodded. "Sure. Call me if you need anything. Be careful and avoid all confrontations with the media or the netizens. They are all crazy and might hurt you. Protect yourself and don't get hurt."

"Don’t worry." Sydney smiled.

The call ended and Sydney put down her phone. She returned to her computer and searched for news related to her.

As Hunter said, her news had lost its trend, and only a few popped up. Even those million comments she saw earlier disappeared. What replaced her news was scandals related to celebrities from the entertainment industries.

Who cheated on who, who married a second wife, who evaded tax, and etcetera.

Not just her, but everyone else could tell that they were just a shield for Sydney.

So what? These celebrities' scandals did attract all of the netizen's attention and there was another separate wave of war going on somewhere else.

Instead of Sydney, their target became someone else.

Sydney walked to her window and looked downstairs. The reporters were reduced by half, and those who left likely went to look for those celebrities instead.

Sydney felt relieved. She could now have some time to stabilize the stock market.

In the hospital, Lyra was on her bed while she happily munched on the cut fruits.

She saw the cyberbullying and the curses thrown at Sydney moments ago, and she laughed out loud in pure joy.

Those netizens were dumb. She only had to release one statement for them to believe that Sydney planned her incident.

However, it was because of their stupidity that she succeeded. She wanted to shift the blame to Sydney completely and made her have no way of proving her own innocence.

Lyra wanted Sydney to suffer as much as she did.

She could not stand to be the only one who suffered while Sydney remained safe and sound.

She swore to drag Sydney down to hell with her.

Sydney must also be stupid. How could she release a statement saying that she was innocent? People would only interpret her words the opposite way.

Many celebrities in the entertainment industry said that and were all chased out of the industry in the end. No one would believe those words.

Just then, her room door opened and a scrawny girl stepped in. Her skin was sallow and she looked malnourished. She called out to Lyra, "Hello..."
