    "Your daughter?" Sydney frowned, confused. "Who''s your daughter? I haven''t interfered with anyone''s marriage. You must be mistaken." If she had interfered, she would have known. She had never done such a thing.


    "Are you still pretending to not know?" Chandra sneered. "Sydney Harper, what is your rtionship with Geoffrey?"


    At the mention of Geoffrey''s name, Sydney immediately understood everything. So, Chandra''s daughter was Geoffrey''s ex-wife.


    Chandra must have thought Sydney had ruined X''s marriage with Geoffrey, and that was why she had kidnapped her.


    Sydney quickly exined, "You''ve misunderstood. It''s not like you think. I didn''t interfere in their rtionship."


    "You didn''t?" Chandra suddenly stood up from her chair, walked over to Sydney, and pped her hard across the face.


    The p was sharp and resounding.


    Sydney''s head spun from the blow, and she trembled all over. She was tied up, unable to move. Her face burned, but she forced herself to turn her head.


    "I truly didn''t interfere. I don''t know why you think I did."


    "Didn''t you sleep with Geoffrey? Didn''t you sleep with him?!" Chandra''s voice was sharp, full of usation.


    "That was after Geoffrey divorced X," Sydney exined. "Before that, I never interfered. I''ve never even met her before."


    "You never interfered? You''ve never


    met her before? Ha!" Chandra

    laughed bitterly. Her gaze turned vicious. "Geoffrey divorced X because of you. He''s been cruel to her all these years because of you, and you still have the audacity to say you didn''t interfere?! It''s all because of you. You''re his first love! Are you going to deny that?"


    "I am indeed his first love, but he broke up with me for X," Sydney replied. "After that, we didn''t meet for over twenty years. His divorce has nothing to do with me. Even without me, they would have divorced."


    "You''re shirking responsibility." Chandra grabbed Sydney''s face, her nails digging into her skin, leaving a red scratch that began to bleed. Sydney winced in pain.


    "I''m not shirking responsibility. I''m


    just telling the truth. It was Geoffrey who divorced X. Why don''t you go after him? Whye to me? I had~~ no say in this matter. If I could choose, I wouldn''t want him to divorce X. I don''t want Geoffrey involved at all. You don''t even know what he did to me. He forced me to be with him. He threatened me. His actions are unforgivable. You should go after him!"


    "You''re really good at talking your way out of this," Chandra sneered and pushed her head away. "My poor daughter has suffered so


    much Don''t think you''re the


    only one


    I''m going after. Geoffrey will face me too, but you''re the first."


    "Then what do you want? Are you going to kill me? I''m one of the Spencers. They will find me sooner orter."


    "When they find you, you will already be dead. No one will know how you died."


    Sydney felt a chill run down her spine. "Can you calm down? We can talk this through."


    "Talk?" Chandra scoffed. "You think this is business negotiation? You think we can still talk? My poor daughter! She''s my treasure, but you and Geoffrey ruined her!"
