My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit novel Chapter 249

At that moment, Julien was sure that Lyra was not Maple Leaf.

'If she is Maple Leaf, why would she burn the letters that tied them together instead of treasuring them well and taking them out occasionally to reminisce?

'It's because she's afraid. She's afraid that she'll be exposed one day if I keep those letters.'

Seeing Julien trembling as if he was suppressing his rage, Velma gulped in fear and asked, "W-What's wrong, Julien?"

Julien did not respond. Instead, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

Zach yawned and said in a sleepy voice, "What's wrong, President Flint?"

"Come to Flint Mansion. I have something to ask you." Right after that, Julien hung up the call.

On the other end of the call, Zach sat on the bed with a dumbfounded expression.

If I heard correctly, President Flint wants me to go to Flint Mansion, right?'

He took the phone from his ear and looked at the screen in front of him. When he saw that it was almost 12 a.m., his expression sank.

'It's in the middle of the night, and he wants me to go to Flint Mansion? Is he crazy?

'If he has a question, why can't he ask me over the phone? Why does it have to be in person?'

Although he resented Julien for it, Zach still had to get out of bed bitterly and pack up before leaving.

At about 1 a m., he stood in Julien's study.

"President Flint, what exactly did you want to ask me? " Zach asked with a smile on his face, but his heart complained about Julien time and time again.

As if Julien could sense his resentment, Julien glanced at Zach while tapping his finger on the cold desk. "Do you think Lyra is Maple Leaf?"

"Huh?" Zach was stunned. Then, his expression turned solemn. "President Flint, do you suspect that Ms. Madden isn't your pen pal?"

Julien nodded silently.

Zach stared at him for a while. When he confirmed that Julien was not joking, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "President Flint, to be honest, it really doesn't seem like she is. I've been with you for so many years and have seen you correspond with Maple Leaf, so I have some understanding of her. She's kind, bright, lively, and cheerful. However, Ms. Madden has none of those qualities."

After saying that, Zach took a peek at Julien, afraid that he would get angry.

Unexpectedly, he did not get angry but was deep in thought instead.

Zach sighed in relief.

'Luckily, President Flint isn't angry at me for belittling Ms. Madden.

'However, why is he suddenly suspecting that Ms. Madden isn't Maple Leaf?'

Zach scratched his hair as he could not figure it out.

After a while, Julien finally spoke in a cold voice, "Yes, she doesn't have any of those qualities. How can she deserve to be Maple Leaf?"

At those words, Zach finally realized something and adjusted his glasses. "President Flint, do you know something? Is that why you suspect that Ms. Madden isn't Maple Leaf?"

'No wonder President Flint's attitude toward Ms.

Madden took a sharp turn these past few days.

'Well, President Flint only treated Ms. Madden well because she was Maple Leaf. However, if she's not, President Flint will naturally withdraw his feelings for her. After all, the person he really loves is Ms.

Raines.'

"You'd be the one to receive Maple Leaf's letters when I was busy back then, so you should know her address, right?" Julien narrowed his eyes and asked instead of answering.

However, he knew the reason why none of them had realized anything. It was because of the mysterious power.

He just did not expect Zach to be affected by that mysterious power too.

"President Flint, why are you looking at me like that?" Zach asked, feeling puzzled.

Julien pursed his lips and said in a hoarse voice," Nothing. Go to Twinrivers District tomorrow and find the real Maple Leaf."

That was the person he loved!

"Yes!" Zach nodded. Then, he thought of something and hesitated for two seconds. "Then, Lyra..."

A dangerous glint shot out from Julien's eyes. "I'll deal with it. I'll show her that there's a price for impersonating Maple Leaf."

Zach shivered when he heard the chill in Julien's tone. He understood that Lyra was doomed.

'Serves her right. How dare she impersonate Maple Leaf and deceive President Flint's feelings for six

years?'

Zach adjusted his glasses with a gloating smile and turned around to go out.

After he left, Julien stood up and went to the floor-to-ceiling window of the study. His brows furrowed tightly as he looked at the nightscape outside.

He wondered, 'What exactly is that mysterious power? Why is it manipulating me to love Lyra? What other secrets is Lyra hiding?'

All of that made Julien feel as though his view of the world had been refreshed. He had always thought he was normal, but unexpectedly, he had been tricked at some point and controlled by a mysterious force.

At that thought, Julien's head began to hurt again.

Images flashed in his mind like strobe lights, and it hurt so much that he could not help but hammer his head with his hands. 2
