"What are you thinking about, Sydney?" Hunter put his hand in front of her and waved when he saw her suddenly space out.
Sydney's eyes flickered, and she said indifferently, "Nothing."
"Then, about Davey..."
Sydney bit her lip and seemed to be considering.
When Hunter saw this, he secretly shot a look at Davey which said, 'Kid, hurry up and do something. It'll depend on you whether you can stay here or not. I've already tried my best.'
Davey rolled his eyes and replied with his eyes, 'Stupid uncle. You were the one who brought me here. You said that Aunty was ignoring you because you two fought, so you want me to act as a peacemaker and let her forgive you. How can you dump everything on me now? I'm just a baby.'
Hunter's lips twitched 'Cut the crap and do something. Do you still want her to be your Aunty? If you do, then hurry up and act cute. Make her take you in. That way, you can help put in a few good words for me.'
Davey had no choice. He sighed like a small adult and put on a quiet expression, pulling on Sydney's sleeve. He looked at her pitifully. "Aunty, take me in. I don’t want to be alone at home. Please, Aunty?"
He blinked his wide eyes twice, looking like he was about to cry.
"Please, Sydney." Hunter hurriedly echoed.
Sydney looked at him and then at the teary-eyed Davey. Finally, her heart softened, and she reached out to wipe away Davey's tears, nodding. "Okay. I'll help you take care of Davey for the next two days."
"Great! I can finally stay with Aunty." Davey smiled happily.
"Thank you, Sydney." Hunter bowed at her with a grateful look, but in reality, his heart was incredibly excited.
'Good job, kid! Sure enough, you're the most adorable kid in the Cohen family!
'You won over Sydney immediately.'
Hunter put Davey down and crouched down to instruct him, "Davey, be good and listen to Aunty's words. Don’t be naughty, okay?" 'Kid, remember your task and improve your uncle and aunty's relationship.
'This is the real purpose I brought you here.'
Davey nodded obediently. "I know, Uncle Hunter. I won't be naughty."
'Don't worry, Uncle Hunter. I'll make Aunty forgive you. Don't forget my Transformers collection.'
"Good boy. I'm relieved." Hunter patted his head.
I won't forget. Stop reminding me.'
Hunter stood up and looked at Sydney. "I'll leave Davey to you. "
Sydney was not aware of the telepathic conversation the uncle and nephew exchanged earlier. She just nodded with a hum. "Okay." "I'll leave now," Hunter said again.
"Bye," Sydney responded.
Hunter smiled bitterly.
'She wants me to leave. She didn't even tell me to stop for some tea.'
However, that was not the worst of it.
The worst thing was that Davey was waving at him too. "Bye, Uncle Hunter!"
Hunter's lips twitched as he secretly glared at the boy.
'Brat, you're so useless. Your Aunty isn't inviting me to have some tea, but you can pretend to cry and say you don't want me to leave yet.
'Maybe I'll be able to stay a little longer that way.'
Davey, who saw through Hunter's thoughts, merely pulled a face. Hunter's expression twisted in anger.
'This little brat! I shouldn't have spoiled you!’
He sighed and turned around to walk toward the elevator.
After his figure disappeared into the elevator, Sydney pulled Davey into the house.
The next day, she was woken up by a phone call.
It was from Luke. "Darling, look online.
Brandon is holding a press conference."
"Press conference?" Sydney sat up from the bed. "What kind of conference?"
"I don't know, but it should be related to Lyra. After all, there was a huge hoo-ha when she was arrested again yesterday, and it caused a serious impact on Trison Corporation. There's no way he can stay low," Luke said.
Although the question was sharp, it was not an easy question to answer.
If Brandon said he would not save Lyra, the Internet might support him, but the people in the business world would not.
After all, if he could give up on his own family, there was no guarantee that he would not betray them at any moment. Thus, it would be even harder for Brandon to mix around in the business world.
However, if he said that he would save Lyra, then the Internet would boycott him, and he would also be taken away by the officials.
Thus, Brandon's answer would be very interesting. Would he save Lyra, or would he not?
Julien was not the only one who wanted to hear this answer. The reporters at the site, the audience watching the conference, and Sydney all wanted to know.
This question was equivalent to forcing Brandon to the edge of a cliff. No matter how he answered, the end would not look pretty.
Brandon knew this as well. His gaze swept grimly over to the reporter who asked this question. Then, he took a deep breath and faced the camera, saying, "My answer to that question is no. I won't be saving her!"
Not many people were surprised when this statement was made.
After all, everyone knew that he would most likely choose not to save Lyra. Although he might have trouble in the business world from now on, the netizens would support him, so he would most likely choose not to save her.
"Also..." Brandon suddenly continued.
The crowd looked at him in a hurry.
The reporter who asked the question earlier asked, "Also, what?"
Brandon looked at him. "Also, I want to announce that from this moment forth, I'm breaking off the father-daughter relationship with Lyra. She's no longer a member of the Madden family!"
"What?" The crowd was shocked.
Sydney and Julien were also stunned.
Brandon severed his father-daughter relationship with Lyra!
However, Sydney soon figured it out and calmed down.
Brandon making this decision at this juncture was the most appropriate move.
First of all, Lyra was not his biological daughter. Since she caused Trison Corporation to fall this far, Brandon had no reason not to sever his ties with her.
