My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 31 You’re Choosing Your Ex-Husband's Brother Over Me?

Younger brother?

Sydney looked at the caller ID and frowned. "I'm Sydney Raines, but I don’t have a younger brother. You have the wrong number."

"No, he said he's your younger brother. His name is Jayden Flint."

As soon as she heard that name, Jayden's bad behavior came to mind, and the hairs on her body trembled. "Sorry, I don’t know him."

Then, she hung up the phone.

Luke asked curiously, "What younger brother? Was it Layden?"

"No, she got the wrong number."

Sydney left the office with Luke and agreed to talk about the planning for Skylight over Japanese food.

However, as soon as she entered the elevator, her phone rang again.

Sydney held in her temper and answered. This time, it was Jayden speaking instead of the female officer.

"Hey, sister-in-law. Come to the station and bail me out."

In the six years that Sydney had been married to

Julien, his younger brother Jayden had never called her 'sister-in-law' before and only called her by her full name. That was the first time he was calling her' sister-in-law'.

However, the kid called her that very reluctantly as if he said those words through gritted teeth.

"I divorced your brother a long time ago." Sydney reminded him as well as herself. "You should call your brother and tell him to bail you out instead.”

Jayden snapped. "Will it kill you to come to the police station?"

"Tell your brother to."

Sydney saw how quick the kid’s temper came and went, but she frowned when he suddenly fell silent.

Just as she was about to hang up, Jayden ended the call first.

"Julien's brother is looking for you?" Luke asked. He heard quite a few keywords from the call.

"I heard Julien booked a table at Grand Hyatt Hotel and invited Lyra's family over to have dinner with his parents to discuss a date for the engagement.

Shouldn't his brother be at the hotel as well? Why’s he at the police station?"

"It seems he has been detained for committing some crime." There was no change in Sydney’s expression, but she pursed her lips. “He wants me to bail him out."

Luke snickered. "Does he think you and Julien are still married? He's still ordering you around. His personality is exactly the same as that mother of his!"

When they reached the garage and were just about to get into the car, Sydney suddenly asked, “How long are offenders usually held in the police station?"

"That depends on the crime. If he's there for assault and no one bails him out, he'll be detained for about 15 days," Luke replied and then looked at Sydney in disbelief. "Are you going to bail him

out?"

"If he doesn't dare to call Julien, it means that the crime must be very serious." Sydney got into the car." I'll go over and have a look."

Luke bent down and knocked on the car window, his eyes gloomy. "You’re choosing your ex- husband's brother over me?"

Sydney ignored him and drove out of the underground garage.

On the way to the station, Sydney recalled the conversation she just had with Luke in the garage and hated her momentary soft-heartedness.

She had decided to let go. Yet, when Julien's brother was in trouble, she ended up wanting to help.

After arriving at the station, Sydney mentioned Jayden’s name and followed the female officer inside. Soon, she saw a row of teenagers in their school uniforms standing against the wall.

Each of them was covered in dirt and their faces in

bruises.

"Jayden Flint." The female officer shouted at Jayden, who was standing in the crowd of teenagers. "Your sister-in-law is here to bail you out."

Jayden suddenly raised his head. When he saw Sydney, his eyes lit up for a very brief moment before his mouth curled into a grin. He scoffed. "Damned woman, I knew you'd come."

Sydney looked at him calmly. "What did you call me?"

She was wearing a black coat with her hair tied in a low ponytail. She looked gentle and dignified, but her cool eyes gave Jayden a chill down his spine.

As the two people stared at each other for a moment, Jayden squeezed out the words from his teeth. "Sister-in-law!"

Sydney was very satisfied to see the brat’s stifled face. However, she did not rush to sign the bail and instead asked, "Why did you get into a fight?"

Jayden remained silent.

Then, someone standing in the row of teenagers in the corner shouted at Jayden, "Hey, Jayden Flint. I heard your sister-in-law divorced your brother long ago. Aren't you embarrassed to call her to bail you out?

Haha, you’re exactly the same as your mother. You always act so righteously when you're bossing others around." 1 "I think his mother must have gotten his gender wrong when she gave birth to him!"

The teenagers bantered and mocked, causing Jayden’s eyes to tinge red with anger. He was just about to rush over and punch their faces when Sydney's hand swiftly grabbed his shirt. "Are you picking a fight in a police station? Do you want me to call your brother over?"

Afraid that she would really call his brother, Jayden pulled a face and wrenched his hand back, not wanting her touch to his school uniform.

After Sydney signed Jayden's bail, she looked at the teenagers in the corner and said to the police officer," Fighting is a common occurrence among children, so I'll bail them out as well. It won't be good for their parents to come all the way here for something so trivial."

The police officer considered that they were all from the same school and agreed to let the kids go back earlier since it made things easier for them too.

Sydney swiftly signed the bail for the other children.

Jayden almost exploded in anger, not expecting Sydney to do that. He almost cursed at Sydney's face. " Are you stupid? Why are you bailing them out?"

Sydney merely pulled the belt of her coat and asked him, "Did you win the fight with them?"

Jayden looked at the teenagers in front of him and said reluctantly, "I would've won if it were three against one, but then two more came-"

"That means you didn’t win." Sydney glanced at him. " And here I was, wondering how capable you were!"

Once they left the police station, Sydney followed behind the teenagers unhurriedly. Jayden's eyes trailed after her in confusion.

After a moment of hesitation, he followed just in time to see Sydney smash the bag in her hand into the back of a teenager. The other boy cried out in pain.

When the other teenagers saw Sydney lay a hand on their buddy, they all gathered around her.

Sydney shouted at the dumbfounded Jayden, "What are you standing there for? Come here and beat them up! Didn't you say you'd win if it were three against one?"

When Jayden came back to his senses, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and rushed over.

Sydney pulled two teenagers behind, and Jayden beat the other three single-handedly with ease. Soon, they took down all the teenagers, whose bodies were painted with even more bruises.

Jayden grimaced in pain after he accidentally took a punch to his right cheek.

Sydney tidied her disheveled hair and said to the teenagers lying on the ground, “I let him beat you up to save your pride. If I were to do it instead, you guys would spend three months in juvie. I'm a

woman of

my word." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She uttered the most malicious words in a flat tone, which made the schooling teenagers wince. They did not dare to say anything after that.

"Get up,” Sydney said and pointed to Jayden beside her. "Bow to him and apologize."

The teenagers hurriedly got up from the ground, bowed in unison, and apologized to Jayden. Then, they waited for Sydney to give the word before they scattered.

Jayden looked at the woman’s profile with a somewhat complicated expression.

When Sydney had asked Julien to marry her back then, Jayden thought she had indirectly broken up Julien and Lyra. Hence, he was always unkind to Sydney and opposed her at every opportunity.

However, the last time at the bar and this time here, he saw a different Sydney Raines than the one in Flint Mansion.

It seemed like she was not all that bad.

"I heard your brother and future sister-in-law are at the Grand Hyatt Hotel." Sydney pulled out two bills from her bag and shoved them at him. "It's up to you whether you go home or to the hotel."

She went around to the driver’s seat and was just about to get in when she heard the door pull open and then slam shut.

Sydney looked at the teenagers in the passenger seat, holding back her anger. "Jayden Flint, you can take a cab back by yourself. I don't have time to be your chauffeur.”

"I'm not going back. I want to sleep in your car!" Having pulled the wound at the corner of his mouth because he raised his voice, Jayden's face winced in pain.

"Get out. I already divorced your brother."

Jayden sat there motionlessly and snorted. "An exsister-in-law is still a sister-in-law. I've called you that anyway!"
