My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 170 The Truth is Revealed

Since the boss gave him the go-ahead, Zach stopped hiding it and nodded, saying, "Soon after I received Ms. Raines' proposal, Ms. Madden arrived to submit her proposal. Midway, I went out to get a drink for Ms. Madden and left the proposals in the reception room. Ms. Madden was the only one in the room at that time..."

At this point, everything was clear now.

Sydney's proposal was switched by Lyra.

Julien lowered his eyes, his heart full of disappointment.

"That's nonsense!" Brandon slapped the table and stood up, glaring at Zach. "How dare you slander Lyra? Julien, is this how your assistant should act?"

He also knew that the proposal was switched by Lyra.

However, so what? He could never admit it.

"President Madden, I pride myself on being fair and impartial. What I said earlier is in no way false. If you don't believe me, I can retrieve the monitoring of the reception room," Zach looked at Brandon and said unhappily.

He worked painstakingly for years to get to where he was now. How would he wrongly accuse a person for no reason?

That would just be asking to lose his job.

Brandon's face turned white when he heard Zach say he could retrieve the monitoring.

Sydney sneered. "President Madden, your daughter is really filial. She even did something so shameless just to get you a cooperative seat."

"Indeed, the young lady opened our eyes today." Someone echoed.

Brandon's face switched between red and white like a palette. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole in the ground to bury his head.

He had never been so humiliated as he was now. It was worse than when he was arrested and brought to the police station.

After all, the outside world did not know what he did to be arrested, but it was different this time. Everyone knew that Lyra stole someone else's proposal and even thought that it was on his instructions. How would the people in the circle talk about him in the future?

At that moment, Brandon's heart was full of hatred.

He hated Sydney. He hated how she said the truth that the proposal belonged to her. Why could she not just swallow this grievance silently?

He also hated Julien. He hated how Julien did not settle this matter privately. Of course, the one he hated the most was that damn girl Lyra.

"President Flint." Sydney stopped paying attention to Brandon when she saw him at a loss for words and turned to look at Julien at the head of the table. "Since the truth has been revealed, how do you plan on dealing with this matter? Are you going to let President Madden keep the collaborative seat, or...?"

"Now that the truth is out, I declare that Brandon Madden's cooperative seat will be canceled and handed over to President Baines. Does anyone have any objections?" Julien interrupted her words and glanced at everyone's faces.

The group shook their heads. "Of course, not."

Besides, Brandon's seat should have belonged to Sydney in the first place.

Furthermore, they just finished reading Sydney's proposal. It was indeed very good.

"What about you, President Madden? Do you have any objections?" Julien called Brandon out by name.

Brandon's voice was extremely reluctant. "Of course, not."

Even if he did, what could he do?

Julien nodded and turned his eyes back to Sydney. " No one has any objections. Are you happy with this now?”

"Yes." A glimmer of joy flashed in Sydney's eyes.

She finally won the cooperative seat.

She won the bet with Stephen!

Sydney's fists clenched with excitement.

When Julien sensed her happiness, a smile flashed in his eyes before it disappeared just as quickly. He lifted his chin and was just about to say something when Sydney suddenly spoke, "But wait, President Flint. This isn't enough!"

Her words made the crowd's eyes brighten instantly in interest.

It seemed like Ms. Raines was quite ambitious. It was not enough for her to get back her proposal and a seat for the project. She also wanted to take the opportunity to ask for more benefits.

Brandon yelled in anger, "Sydney Raines, don't push your luck!"

Sydney gave him a bland glance. "What do you mean pushing my luck? I'm the victim here. What's wrong with me fighting for my rights? In fact, as the perpetrator, don't you think you're a bit too much, President Madden? Not only did you not apologize to me, you even accused me."

"You..." Brandon's eyes rolled in anger.

Sydney ignored him and looked at Julien. "President Flint, I handed in my proposal, but it was switched inside Flint Corporation. You, as the boss, have to take responsibility for this. Otherwise, who would dare to trust their belongings to Flint Corporation in the future?" "President Raines is right." Someone nodded." President Flint, you have to take responsibility for this."

Julien sat up straight. "The main fault for this incident lies with Flint Corporation. On behalf of the company, I apologize to Ms. Raines for our negligence."

With that, he stood up, placed his hand over his abdomen, and bowed to Sydney.

Zach did the same. "Your proposal was switched because of my negligence. My deepest apologies to you, Ms. Raines."

Seeing the two apologize, Sydney's expression improved considerably.

Then, she looked at Brandon again. "President Madden, President Flint already apologized. What about you?"

"You want me to apologize too?" Brandon stared at her incredulously.

Sydney smiled. "What's wrong with asking you to apologize? Although you didn't switch the proposal, who knows if you instructed Ms. Madden to do it or not? Even if you didn't, you still tried to

keep it a secret and refused to admit that the proposal was mine. It was only until Zach said that we could check the surveillance that you admitted it. Don't you think you should apologize for that?"

"Yes, President Madden. President Raines is right. All of us here saw you insist that the proposal was yours instead of hers. We all know what you were thinking. You should just apologize, lest you make yourself look even worse than you do now." Someone laughed.

Brandon shook in anger. However, he was unable to refute it, otherwise, it would only make these people laugh at him more.

He took a deep breath, pressed down his anger, and looked at Sydney gloomily. "Fine, I apologize. I'm sorry. Are you happy now?"

"Although your apology is somewhat reluctant, it's good enough that you could put down your ego to apologize. I'll force myself to accept it," Sydney said with a smile.

Brandon almost fainted with anger. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

She forced herself to accept his apology?

'I'll remember this grudge today!'

"Zach," Julien said at that moment, "Send the order. In the future, Lyra will have to make an appointment to come to the office. Don't let anyone bring her up directly."

Zach pushed his glasses. "Yes."

"Julien, you..." Brandon looked at Julien in shock, unable to believe that he was doing such a thing.

Sydney was also in disbelief.

Julien glanced at her from the corner of his eyes and then looked at Brandon, saying with a cold voice," This is Lyra's punishment for switching the proposals."

Brandon's mouth moved, but he was unable to say anything.

Sydney also revised her opinion of Julien.

She did not expect him, who never had a limit when it came to indulging Lyra, would actually punish Lyra.

It seemed like the sun would rise from the west from now on.

"Julien, I suddenly feel a little sick. I'll take my leave now," Brandon took a deep breath and said with a heavy voice.

He would lose all face if he did not leave now.

Julien also knew that he was escaping and nodded slightly. "Zach, see President Madden out."

"Yes," Zach replied and swept his arm out in a gesture for Brandon.

After Brandon left, Julien clapped his hands. "All right, let's continue the meeting."

Sydney sat back down and continued with the meeting.

Brandon went back to the Madden residence in a fury.

Mrs. Madden was applying a mask and was very surprised to see him back. "Honey, why are you back so soon? Is the meeting over?"

"Hah, meeting? I almost died of anger in the meeting!" Brandon flung his briefcase to the sofa.

Mrs. Madden peeled off her mask. "What happened?"
