Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 163 His Beloved Person

Otherwise, Hunter would have dealt with it directly and would not have made this trip here at all.

Sydney did not respond to the latter part of his sentence and frowned at him suspiciously. "You'll handle it?" C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

"Yep." Hunter nodded.

Sydney smiled. "But this is my business, right? I'm very thankful to you for helping me discover the truth and find evidence, but I'm very curious. Why do you want to handle it? This has nothing to do with you, doesn't it?"

"Let me clear something up first. I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing it for myself." Hunter held up a hand as if afraid that she would misunderstand.

Sydney rolled her eyes at him. "Tell me. I want to know the reason."

"It's nothing much. As you know, the Cohen family and the Madden family had a falling out. This time, the Cohen family lost to the Wright family and we didn't win the position of mayor." Hunter's eyes narrowed dangerously.

Sydney was stunned. "What? You didn't win the position? Last time, I heard Luke say that the Cohen family managed to pull in a sum of money and didn't fall behind the Wright family. How did you suddenly

fail?"

"The problem still lies with the Madden family." Hunter's finger tapped on the table. "The Cohen and Wright families went at the same time to the last enterprise in boughtown willing to invest.

Unexpectedly, the enterprise acted like they did not know who to support on the surface, but they secretly injected funds into the Wright family. That's how the Cohen family lost. The Madden family was a distant relative of the chairman of that enterprise."

"So, the Madden family instigated this matter from behind?" Sydney frowned.

Hunter raised his chin. "That's right. The Cohen family has always been fighting for the seat of mayor. Just as we were about to succeed, our efforts were destroyed by the Madden family. That's why the Cohen family will never forgive the Madden family. We can't strike directly, so I have to use this horse accident of yours as a breakthrough to deal with them bit by bit."

"I see. I understand now." Sydney nodded.

Hunter leaned toward her. "So, you agree? Although I'm dealing with this matter out of my own selfishness, it can also be considered getting revenge for you."

"I know, but I don't need you to avenge me. I'll deal with the Madden family by myself. Don't forget about the enmity between Trison and Skylight, as well as Lyra and me." Sydney reminded him.

Hunter was silent for two seconds. "How about we work together?"

"Work together?" Sydney's eyes flashed.

Hunter hummed. "Since we both want to deal with the Madden family, we can work together. You need power and the means to get revenge, but you don't have it. Are you going to wait until Skylight develops? How can you be sure that Brandon won't make a move during that time? Even if he doesn't and you develop Skylight, he'll develop Trison as well. You'll never be able to catch up to him, let alone get revenge."

Sydney had nothing to say about that.

Yes. Even if she made progress, Brandon would not just remain where he was either.

Thus, there was a long path ahead of her if she wanted to take revenge. It was simply impossible to get revenge by herself in a short amount of time.

At Sydney's silence, Hunter knew that his words had pricked her heart. He sipped his coffee and continued, "That's why you can only choose to make an alliance with someone who's also enemies with the Madden family, otherwise, your revenge will be far away in the distant future. I'm your best candidate now. I have power and can help you in ways you can't even imagine. You'll be able to complete your revenge in a year if you work with me. How about it? Are you convinced?"

With the Cohen family's power, it would be easy to clean up the Madden family. One month was enough to make Trison Corporation go bankrupt, but the Cohen family could not do that.

First of all, Trison Corporation was a well-known real estate company not just in Port City but the entire country and had tens of thousands of employees. If Trison suddenly went bankrupt, these staff would face unemployment and the higher-ups would investigate. They would find out that the Cohen family was behind this, which would also incur losses for the Cohen family. This would do more harm than good for the Cohen family.

Thus, the best way was to move covertly. The Cohen family could use the Madden family's law breaking as a breakthrough and slowly clean them up bit by bit. Although the process was a little slow, it was much safer.

By the time the Madden family noticed that they were being dealt with, Trison Corporation would have fallen into the hands of another and would not go bankrupt. The employees would not lose their jobs, and the higher-ups would not investigate anything, but the Madden family would lose everything. How good was that?

What Hunter could think of, Sydney could naturally think of as well.

She sighed. "It seems like it's impossible not to cooperate with you."

Hunter grinned and held out his hand. "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer. Well, leave the matter of you falling off the horse to me. You don't have to do anything. Continue acting like it's an accident and don't tell anyone about it. When the Madden family gets into trouble in a year, I'll inform you to take the shot and deal the final blow to the Madden family."

Sydney looked down at his hand and did not hold it. " Aren't you afraid that President Flint will fall out with you if you do this? After all, the Madden family is the family of his beloved person."

"His beloved person?" Hunter raised his brows and suddenly smiled meaningfully. "Do you really think Julien loves Lyra?"

"What do you mean?" Sydney was slightly stunned.

Hunter smiled. "Let's make a bet."

"A bet?" Sydney pursed her lips.

Hunter nodded. "That's right. We'll bet on whether Julien loves Lyra or not. I bet that he doesn't."

"Did you take the wrong meds?" Sydney looked at him with an odd glance. "How could you even say that Julien doesn't love Lyra?"

"Who took the wrong meds? I'm serious. I'm betting that he doesn't love Lyra. As for how to prove it, wait and see if Julien breaks up with her after a year." Hunter smiled confidently.

Sydney curled her lips before laughing. "Sure. Since you're so eager to lose, I'll take that bet. What's the bet?

Lose?

A playful glint flashed in Hunter's eyes.

He did not think that he would lose.

"I haven't decided yet. Let's talk about it when the result is announced in a year," Hunter answered after thinking about it.

Sydney nodded. "Okay."

Then, she reached out and took his hand.

Hunter's hand was large. He was tanned and so were his hands.

However, Sydney's hands were small, and her skin was fair.

When the two shook hands, it formed a very stark color difference.

When Hunter felt the small hand in his, a subtle throb flashed through his heart.

He subconsciously squeezed the hand. It was soft and warm as if it were boneless, and it felt very nice to touch. It made him slightly addicted, and he could not help but squeeze another two more times.

Sydney looked at his movements and the corners of her mouth twitched. "President Cohen, is my hand very nice to squeeze?"

Hunter was stunned. When he realized what he did, his ears turned red and he hurriedly let go of his hand, bringing it behind his back. "Ahem, uh, sorry about that. I felt that your hand was very nice to squeeze, so..."

Sydney did not know whether to laugh or cry.

'It felt nice to squeeze? That's why he kept squeezing like my hand was a stress ball. I didn't expect him to be so childish.'

"It's fine. Take this evidence back with you, President Cohen." Sydney waved dismissively, indicating that she did not mind. She picked up the envelope on the table and handed it back to Hunter.

Since everything would be handled by him, it was useless for her to hold on to this.

Hunter took it. "Sure. The Cohen family will slowly infiltrate the Madden family. I'll keep you informed about the progress. Of course, if we need your help, then you'll have to step in too."

"I will." Sydney accepted.

After all, since they were partners, she would not refuse.

"Well then, I'll go now," said Hunter.

Sydney sent him out of the office.

On the way to the elevator, Hunter's mind could not help but replay the scene of him squeezing Sydney’s hand again. That soft feeling made him long for it. 1
