Chapter 256 Confess At Her Door
The sound of his footsteps was as if he was stepping on her heart, making her heart seize. Panic and fear welled up in her. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Lyra subconsciously retreated, her lips trembling and unable to make a sound.
Julien's eyes were full of disgust when he saw this." You can't answer that, can't you? That's because you don't live in Twinriver District, you've never had a dog before, and you don't have a stepmother and sister either. Can you still say with a straight face that you're Maple Leaf? "
Thump!
Lyra slumped to the ground, her eyes glazed over.
When Julien saw her like this, he knew that she could no longer hide it. She admitted it.
"Lyra!" Mrs. Madden hurriedly went forward and hugged Lyra, shaking her shoulders. "Lyra, what's wrong with you?"
Lyra's lips moved as if wanting to say something, but nothing could come out.
Mrs. Madden had no choice but to ask Julien. "Julien, what exactly are you and Lyra talking about? What do you mean by impersonating Sydney? Who’s Maple Leaf? I don’t understand a word of what you're saying."
Julien did not look at her. His eyes stared at Lyra with a sneer and he replied, "Your daughter posed as the person I love. She enjoyed six years of treatment she never deserved."
"What? You don't love Lyra?" Mrs. Madden raised her voice.
Julien snorted coldly. "I've never loved her. The person I loved was Sydney all along. Sydney was my pen pal, but she impersonated Sydney to stand by my side. Otherwise, why did you think I suddenly said I loved her six years ago despite having never met her before?"
"That's..." Mrs. Madden was stunned.
Yes. Six years ago, because their statuses were unequal, these two children had never met each other before.
No, more accurately, Julien had never met Lyra, but Lyra saw Julien before. After all, Julien was exceptional. Every girl in the circle liked him.
However, six years ago, Julien suddenly appeared at the Madden family's doorstep one day and said that he wanted to be with Lyra. Mrs. Madden found it strange back then. Why did Julien, who had never met Lyra before, say that he was in love with Lyra? Furthermore, his eyes were extraordinarily affectionate.
At that time, she did not think much of it and only thought that Julien fell in love with Lyra at first sight.
Furthermore, he was young, so maybe his love burned a little brighter than normal.
However, she never thought that this love was something that Lyra stole from another person.
At that thought, Mrs. Madden's eyes when she glanced at Lyra turned a little odd.
Lyra averted her gaze in guilt and stood up to grab Julien's arm. She sobbed. "I'm sorry, Julien. I know I was wrong. I really do. I shouldn't have pretended to be Sydney, but I couldn't help it. It's because I love you..."
Lyra knew that there was no way to deny the fact that she impersonated Sydney.
The most urgent task now was to admit her mistake sincerely and get Julien's forgiveness.
That way, she would still have a chance!
"You love me?" Julien laughed coldly.
He pinched Lyra's chin hard and lifted it. "You love me, so you impersonated Sydney and seized her identity. According to what you said, can everyone do the same thing you did when they take a fancy to something that belongs to another person? How the hell does that make sense?"
Julien put even more force into his fingers as he spoke.
Lyra cried out in pain, her tears falling in large droplets.
Julien looked at her tears and felt his heart tighten.
However, he knew that he was not feeling sorry for her. It was the same situation as in the restaurant before.
However, this time, even if the pain killed him, he would not tolerate her any further.
Julien swatted away Lyra's chin, pulled out a handkerchief from the chest pocket of his suit, and wiped his fingers, making no secret of the disgust on his face.
After wiping, he no longer wanted the handkerchief and simply threw it away.
"Lyra Madden, I'll put the engagement cancellation on the agenda as soon as possible. As for you impersonating Sydney and deceiving my feelings for six years, I won't let you off that easily either. You better watch yourself."
He stared at her with eyes as cold as a wolf's, looking at her for a long while before and almost causing Lyra to scream. Then, he finally withdrew his gaze and turned to leave the villa.
The moment his figure disappeared from the foyer, Lyra seemed to completely deflate. Her legs went limp as she slumped to the ground, her face covered in a cold sweat.,
Terrifying. The way that Julien looked at her back then was just terrifying. It made her feel as if she was
in hell.
Lyra could not help but curl up and hug herself tightly.
Mrs. Madden sighed in heartache. "What’s going on..?."
"Mom." Lyra clutched Mrs. Madden's hand and asked emotionally, "What should I do now? What should I do, Mom?"
Mrs. Madden looked at the red marks that were being scratched on her hand and tried to pull her hand out, but Lyra grabbed onto her tightly as if she would not let go unless Mrs. Madden gave her an idea.
Mrs. Madden had no choice but to endure the pain and let Lyra hold onto her. "I don't know either. You really angered Julien by pretending to be Sydney.
Why didn't you discuss it with your dad and I when you did that back then? We thought that Julien really loved you."
Up till now, the Madden couple had thought that it was Sydney who stole their daughter's position.
"What's the use of saying that now?!" Lyra flung Mrs. Madden's hand away like she was venting her anger. Her voice turned sharp. "Julien is going to cancel the engagement with me. No, I can't let him cancel the engagement. I finally became his fiancee. How can I lose this position? I can't continue living anymore!"
She grabbed her face like she went mad, carving out red marks on her pale face.
Mrs. Madden was afraid that she would scratch her face and hurriedly took her hand, saying soothingly," Okay, okay, we won't cancel the engagement. I'll call your dad and discuss what to do next."
Then, Mrs. Madden immediately called Brandon.
Outside, Zach saw Julien come out and went up with an umbrella. "President Flint, have you made things clear?"
"Go to Shallow Bay." Julien did not respond to him. After he got into the car, he closed his eyes in fatigue.
When Zach looked at how tired he was, his open mouth stopped asking questions and he started the car.
An hour later, they arrived at Shallow Bay.
Julien knocked on the door to Sydney's apartment.
Sydney was reading some analytical books when she heard a knock at her door. She put down her pen and walked over. "Who is it?"
Julien heard her voice but did not answer.
He knew that if he answered, she might not open the door.
Sydney did not look at the video intercom and simply opened the door with a yawn.
When she saw that the person outside the door was Julien, she first froze and then frowned, about to close the door.
Julien pressed his hand against the door and stopped her. There was a hint of begging in his voice. "Don't close it. I have something to say to you."
"What is it?" Sydney wrinkled her beautiful brows.
Julien knew that she would not close the door for the time being and put his hand down. He stared at her with affectionate eyes and finally pulled her into his arms.
Sydney was stunned. Her eyes widened, and it took a long time before she reacted. Her face flushed with anger as she pushed him away. "Julien Flint, what are you doing? Let me go!"
Julien did not let go and held her tighter instead.
How could he let her go?
She was the one he loved!
Sydney saw that Julien was not willing to let her go. Furthermore, the water on his body made her clothes wet, which made her angrier. Finally, she bit her lip and fiercely stomped on his foot.
Julien frowned in pain and let out a muffled grunt, but he still did not let her go.
Sydney was completely infuriated. She raised her hand and gave him a slap!
