Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 37 Can't Win Against Her

Sharon soon returned to the private room.

Before she could go to Sydney to see her cards, she saw the 'gentle' smile on the corners of Lyra's smile and already guessed it in her heart.

Sydney probably lost very badly during the time she was out.

Sharon sat next to Sydney and glanced at her cards. Sure enough, they were horrible. She lowered her voice and said, "Ms. Raines, you're up against none other than your ex-husband’s first love. Are you really going to let her slap you in the face like that?"

"There's no rush. We're playing best of three games out of five," Sydney said. Her face was as calm as ever since she entered the room to play cards.

She threw out another card while responding to Sharon.

"Game." Lyra showed her hand, and the smile on her lips became even more obvious.

Sharon was speechless.

“Sydney, you already lost two rounds to Lyra. I don't think there's any need to continue.” The lady beside Lyra huffed arrogantly. "Lyra isn't a petty person. If you apologize to her, we'll get the best tattoo artist to help you remove that tattoo."

Lyra raised her head slightly and looked at Sydney as if waiting for her to bow and throw in the towel. Her voice was gentle and calm.

"Ms. Raines, do you still want to continue?"

"Of course." Sydney arranged the cards again without any change in her expression. "We agreed on the best three out of five."

The lady beside Lyra rolled her eyes at Sydney and snapped. "We give you a chance to throw in the towel, yet you insist on jumping in front of the muzzle! Lyra's skills are the best. You won’t win against her even if you try your entire life!"

"Oh? If she’s so amazing, why didn't she win consecutively?" Sharon interjected.

The lady gave Sharon a fierce glare.

"Alright," Lyra spoke up to stop them and looked at Sydney with a bit of smugness in her eyes. "Since Ms. Raines wants to play, I'll definitely accompany her."

A new game soon started.

When Sharon saw that Sydney was dealt a pretty good hand this time, her eyes lit up.

She approached Sydney, wanting to teach her.

However, the lady saw and stood up from her chair, pointing at Sharon. "Hey, are you trying to teach Sydney how to play? We're changing seats!"

She marched over and forcefully pulled Sharon up before sitting down in Sharon’s seat.

Sharon looked at her and said with fake innocence, "I thought the word ‘flatterer’ was invented for men and women who couldn’t get true love. But now, it seems that word is quite applicable to you."

The lady wanted to tear Sharon apart. However, she was afraid of disturbing Lyra and the others when she considered that they were still playing cards. As such, she could only scoff and ignore Sharon.

With that, Sharon went to sit beside Lyra.

When she saw Lyra’s cards, she knew that Lyra was skilled at playing cards, and her luck was very good as well. Sharon sighed deeply in her heart.

It seemed like Sydney was really going to lose miserably in the hands of her ex-husband's unforgettable first love.

Since the room was full of women, no one was idle when they played. They chattered and talked as they ate.

Lyra's friend was Kate Morgan. To her left was Sydney, and to her right was Macy Graham.

Kate did not only look at the cards but also peeled an orange and handed it to Macy ingratiatingly. "Macy, how long will you be staying in Port City this time? Are you staying for the New Year's?"

"I’m going back to South Lake after New Year’s." No one knew if it was Kate's words that provoked Macy, but the latter's temper flared, and she threw her card out loudly.

Macy frowned and said, "Nathan wants to divorce me. He came back to Port City long ago to find a lawyer.

Startled, Kate chose her next words carefully. "Wasn't it the Leigh family that begged your grandfather to let Nathan marry you? They used your Graham family so much. How dare he divorce you?"

"It’s because..." Halfway through the sentence, Macy stopped, seemingly remembering something. She revealed a cold smile. "Heh, I'm not a woman who someone can marry and divorce at the drop of a hat. I want to see just which lawyer in Port City dares to take this divorce case!"

Sydney listened silently, her eyes down.

She did not know much about the Leigh family in Port City. That family was very low-key, so the only thing she knew about them was that they held a lot of influence in Port City. It was similar to the influence the Graham family had in South Lake. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Macy only dared to be so arrogant because of her powerful family background and her grandfather backing her. Even if she married into the Leigh family, which was on the same level as the Graham family, it was the Leigh family who moved up the social ladder.

If nothing happened to the Raines family when Sydney was married to Julien, would Velma have had to at least show her some respect?

She would not have lost so miserably in that marriage either, right?

Sydney was a little lost in her memories of the past when she suddenly heard Kate say, "Lyra and President Flint are getting engaged on New Year's Eve, and they've invited us over for dinner. Since you're staying in Port City for the New Year's, why don't you come to celebrate with us, Macy?"

"Huh?” Macy was a little surprised. "I heard some time ago that she was already engaged to President Flint. Why is there another engagement?"

"They were supposed to be engaged, but a certain someone snatched the engagement necklace away. That person is really disgusting!" Kate said gloomily. Then, she glanced at Sydney and raised her voice." But that won’t happen again. President Flint said he’s only inviting good friends of the two families to the Flint residence for New Year's Eve dinner. He even said that their marriage will be held on Valentine’s Day next year!"

"A Valentine's Day wedding?" Macy asked Lyra, "Is that true?"

Lyra hummed with a gentle smile. "I’ve been in a coma for six years. Julien feels that it’s been delayed long enough and wants to hold the wedding as soon as possible. The bridal dress is being

designed. We just need to pick out the wedding ring." "You're getting a wedding dress designed just for you?

Lyra, President Flint dotes on you too much!” Kate exaggerated, sucking up to Lyra.

When Kate saw Sydney lower her head quietly, she pretended to be curious and asked Sydney a question as if wanting to antagonize her. "Ms. Raines, I heard that the wedding was very simple when you married President Flint. You even wore a formal dress instead of a bridal dress. Is that true?" « H

"How can you wear a normal dress for a wedding? That’s so unlucky. Did President Flint not give you a wedding dress?"

Seeing Sydney remain silent, Kate’s voice turned shrill, and she even pushed Sydney. "Why aren't you saying anything, Ms. Raines?"

"How would you know Ms. Raines didn't wear a bridal dress during the wedding? Did you attend the ceremony?" Sharon could not stand seeing Sydney being bullied like that anymore. "There's something wrong with what you said, lady."

Kate sneered. "Why can't I say she didn't wear a bridal dress during her wedding? Besides, what’s wrong with what I said?"

"Everyone knows that Ms. Raines and President Flint used to be husband and wife, but you sounded like you’re subtly making fun of Ms. Madden by saying that she can only pick a second- hand husband."

Sharon's tone was warm, and her expression was innocent.

Then, she even glanced at Lyra. "Don’t you agree, Ms. Madden?"

Kate did not expect Sharon to be so glib and panicked a little when she saw the smile on Lyra's face fade." That’s not what I meant, Lyra. I don’t think President Flint is your second-hand husband...”

Sharon snickered and covered her red lips. "You said that was not what you meant, but you still called

President Flint a second-hand husband. What’s that supposed to mean?"

Kate's face went red with anger.

Sydney was originally in a bad mood and wanted to ignore Kate, but she did not expect Sharon to speak up for her.

Her lips raised into a grin, and she was just about to speak. However, when she looked up, she saw the door of the room pushed open, and a tall figure walked in.
