"What else would she want? Kate Morgan wants to be acquitted. That’s why she insisted on appealing her first trial. However, the results of the second trial won't change either, and she'll be detained as a criminal the way she should be. Her mother must be here to ask you to withdraw the lawsuit,” Luke said in Sydney's ear.Although his voice was soft, Mrs. Morgan heard him, and she became embarrassed. "Ms. Raines, well... Mr. Chase is right. I'm indeed here for that purpose.""See? I was right." Luke shrugged.Sydney rolled her eyes at him and looked at Mrs. Morgan with a cold smile. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Morgan, but I won't withdraw the lawsuit."Mrs. Morgan did not expect Sydney to refuse her so directly. Her face stiffened, and she felt a little upset.However, she quickly composed herself again and begged, "Ms. Raines, I know Kate went too far this time, but she knows that she's in the wrong. Please...""No!" Sydney interrupted her expressionlessly. "Mrs. Morgan, you say she know
Lyra bit her lower lip fiercely, feeling extremely annoyed. She was no longer in the mood to see Kate's second trial, so she turned around and left. Half an hour later, she arrived at Flint Corporation."Julien..." Lyra did not care whether there were other people in the president's office and went directly towards Julien behind the desk. With her teary, red eyes, she sat on his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and buried her head on his chest, sobbing softly.Julien froze for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he looked at the woman in his arms with a frown.If he had not heard her crying, he would have wanted to push her away."Leave the documents here first. I'll call you back later after I read them. You guys go back to your desks first." Julien put down the documents in his hand, rubbed his temples, and said to the man and woman at the other side of the desk.The man and woman nodded. "Sure, President Flint."Then, the two turned and left.After closing the
"I'm not looking for you. I'm looking for Syd. Is she with you?" Mrs. Chase asked.Luke looked at Sydney. "She's here.""Pass the phone to her."Luke responded and handed the phone to Sydney. "Here. It's my mom."Sydney took the phone. "Aunty.""Syd, Aunty misses you so much." Upon hearing Sydney's voice, Mrs. Chase smiled so wide that her eyes were closed.Sydney also laughed. "I miss you too, Aunty.""You do? But why didn’t you come to see me?" Mrs. Chase pretended to complain.Sydney stuck her tongue out. "I'm sorry, Aunty. I have been too busy lately and haven’t had the time.""Then do you have time now? Come over for dinner. I'll cook something delicious for you." Mrs. Chase invited Sydney. Sydney was just about to speak when Luke, who was eavesdropping at the side, suddenly interjected. "Mom, I'm taking my darling to eat seafood.""What's good about the seafood outside? It's not fresh anyway. If you want to eat seafood, I’ll cook for you," Mrs. Chase responded.Sydne
Seeing that Luke clearly had the intention but finally decided to give up, Mrs. Chase could not help but poke him in the head. "It’s because you're too apprehensive and timid that you always miss your chance with Syd.""How can you blame me for that?" Luke was a little aggrieved.Mrs. Chase rolled her eyes at him. "Of course, you're to blame. If you had pursued Syd boldly back then, she might have accepted you.""It's not that simple." Luke smiled bitterly. "Not all girls can accept a male best friend as their boyfriend.""But if you've never asked, how would you know she can't accept it?" Mrs. Chase's lips tugged.Luke choked for a moment.Mrs. Chase waved her hand in annoyance. "Alright, alright. Hurry up and go out. You're standing in the way here. I get annoyed just looking at you.""You were the one who told me to come." Luke widened his eyes at her.Mrs. Chase ignored him and pushed him out of the kitchen."That boy is hopeless. He's afraid of everything! What a disappoi
Zach responded and started the car. The moment the car drove away, he darted a glance at Sydney and Luke, sighing.He really did not know what President Flint was thinking when he divorced Ms. Raines for Ms. Madden.Only now that they were divorced did President Flint start paying more attention to Ms. Raines, and he would become unhappy when he saw Ms. Raines being intimate with her boyfriend. If he had known that this would happen, why did he choose to divorce her?The departure of the MPV did not attract Sydney and Luke's attention.Sydney looked at Luke's hand. "Didn't you say I had something on my head? What was it?""Just a piece of lint. It probably came from your clothes. I already threw it away." Luke waved his hand.Sydney nodded without suspecting him. "Well, I'll head in now. You should head back early.""Okay,” Luke responded.Then, Sydney turned and left.Luke stood in the same spot and saw her off. When her figure disappeared into the elevator, he did not leav
“No.” Julien walked to the sofa and sat down.The one who built the plant for Sydney was the engineering team sent there by the state, so the state would naturally handle it.He did not need to help at all.Brandon’s expression turned a little better and he followed Julien. “Then, why did you ask that?”“Have you forgotten about the fox man?” Julien raised his eyes to look at Brandon.A trace of hatred flashed in Brandon’s eyes and he gnashed his teeth. “Of course I remember, but so what? This time, I did it very covertly and didn’t leave any traces on the Internet. He won’t be able to find out that it’s me."”There are no absolutes.” Julien flipped over a teacup and poured some tea for himself. “As long as one has the intention to find out, there’s nothing that can’t be found out."”Enough already. Are you here to lecture me?” Brandon was somewhat dissatisfied.He had always considered himself an elder as well as Julien’s future father-in-law, so he disliked the way Julien spo
After that, Sydney stopped talking and put the phone down.Luke pouted somewhat unhappily. "You're taking a while."Sydney noticed the sourness in his tone and could not help but roll her eyes. "Weren't you going back to your company? Aren't you leaving?""Hah, women! You only know how to kick me out!" Luke stood up and said gloomily.Sydney did not know whether to laugh or to cry. She ignored him and picked up a document to read....In the Madden residence.When Mrs. Madden learned that Brandon was arrested, she was instantly stunned. She did not know what to do and simply cried.She sat on the sofa with a box of tissues on her lap.Balls of scrunched-up tissues were already piled up on the coffee table in front of her."Lyra, what should we do?" Mrs. Madden's eyes were red with tears as she looked at her daughter across the table.Lyra did not cry but she bit her lower lip tightly. "I don't know. I'll call the uncles in the corporation to ask if there's any way to bail Da
Jayden almost got hit on the nose by the door but fortunately managed to brake in time.Then, he sighed and turned to leave dejectedly....The next day, Sydney and Luke were reading data in the office when Sophie hurriedly came in. "Bad news, President Raines. Brandon Madden was released.""What?" Sydney's face changed. "He was released?""When did this happen?" Luke asked.Sophie glanced at him and answered respectfully, "This morning. He also made a post on Trison Corporation's official website saying that he was taken away by officers not because he broke the law, but to cooperate with the investigation of another matter. Trison Corporation's stock market has stabilized now.""How could that be?" Luke's brows furrowed deeply.Sydney bit her lip. "Something must’ve happened, otherwise, Brandon wouldn’t have been released.""I'll have someone ask around," Luke said and took his phone to the balcony.Sydney lowered her eyes, the expression on her face unpleasant. Her mood wa
Chapter 1200 A Great Pair of Teacher and StudentThat was for sure.But those students wouldn't be Sydney.Sydney would always be special to Julien.He would always be a gentleman to Sydney.Even now that he was acting as Sydney's teacher, he was gentle and patient with her.Sydney had feared that Julien would lose patience and think her stupid when she couldn't understand what he was saying.She knew Julien was never a patient man.So she had been nervous. She was afraid that Julien would give up on her if she couldn't understand what he was talking about.She would be embarrassed in that situation. And she needed to find herself a new teacher.However, it turned out that Sydney was overly concerned.Julien was very patient with her. When Sydney didn't understand him, he didn't become impatient or think she was stupid. He patiently explained to her until she understood it. He was so patient with her. Nothing made him agitated.Gradually, Sydney learned that he wouldn't be
Chapter 1199 Teacher and StudentSydney's face and tone were both serious.Julien knew that if he was still unwilling to do as he was told, she would definitely do what she had said.Sydney was such a person.Even though their current relationship was close, she was not willing to take much advantage of him."Alas." Julien shook his head resignedly, pulling over her office chair and sitting down. "Is it okay now?"Sydney nodded in satisfaction. "Yes."With that, she also sat down on another chair that was slightly worse and then added, "Julien, don't think that I'm stubborn and unwilling to accept your goodness to me. I know that you want to do more for me, and you also want to let me sit more comfortably. I'm touched, and I accept it too, but if I really accept all of your kindness, especially when you're already helping me, it will only make me more and more greedy. "In the end, I will take all of your goodness to me as a matter of course, and over time, I will even forget t
Chapter 1198 Julien Was Going to Teach SydneySydney's eyes reveal a look of surprise.Julien noticed it, but deliberately teased her, "Why? Can't I come up?""Why not?" Sydney walked up to him and took his hand, smiling. "You're more popular at Skylight than I am. Even if I forbid letting you in, the staff will let you in. What can I do about that?""Nothing." Julien shook his head honestly."That's it!" Sydney pulled him inside. "I didn't think you'd be here this early, though. You usually get here around almost six. It's only a little after five now."So when Sydney saw him, she was surprised."I finished things, so I came over early. Are you done with your work?" Julien followed Sydney. He asked as he glanced at her desk.Sydney's desk was piled high with papers. Julien frowned at the sight. He liked to keep things neat and organized. "You've had a busy day, haven't you?"Otherwise, Sydney's desk wouldn't be this cluttered.Sydney didn't release Julien's hand until she le
Chapter 1197 It Was Good to LeaveYuri was one of Luke's best friends, so he knew very well what kind of person Yuri was.Such a slowcoach did something so quickly. It was conceivable that Luke was very important in Yuri's heart.Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken Luke's request so seriously.So how could Luke not be surprised and happy?As for Sydney, she didn't know Yuri. Nor did she know what kind of person he was.Now, after hearing Luke's words, she realized that Yuri was a person who worked very slowly.However, it was such an inefficient person who did her a favor so quickly. Sydney felt very touched."Maybe it was because you approached him that he did it so quickly, and of course, it was also possible that after being the boss all these years, he became much more efficient." Sydney guessed with a smile.Luke rubbed his chin and nodded. "It makes sense, but whatever the reason, it's good that Yuri got things done quickly.""Yeah, I called you mainly because I wanted yo
Chapter 1196 Strange LukeYet Sean was panicking at the moment.Why?Of course, because she didn't want her lie to be exposed.It was not like she was really leaving the country, so how could she possibly let Sydney see her off? Her lie would be exposed if Sydney went there. Sean held the cell phone with both hands and hurriedly explained, "Because I bought a ticket for an 11 PM flight. It's late, so I don't want to let you go back and forth. It's too troublesome. Besides, if you go to see me off so late at night, Mr. Flint will definitely not feel at ease."That was true.Sydney rubbed her chin. "But why did you choose such a late flight?"Sean continued to lie. "To catch up on my sleep on the plane so that when I get abroad, I can immediately go to work.""I see. Alright, then I won't see you off, but send me a message to let me know you board the plane smoothly. Otherwise, I won't be relieved," Sydney said.Knowing that Sydney had given up on the idea of going to see her
Chapter 1195 Reason for ResignationSydney sighed, "It wasn't the HR department that told me. Gianna went there for something and overheard it by accident, so she told me.""I see." Sean understood.'I can't believe Gianna said it. 'I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. 'It looked like God didn't want her to hide it from Ms. Raines either. Otherwise, how would Gianna have happened to show up at the HR department at that time?'"So it's true that you are quitting?" Sydney asked, pursing her lips.Sean nodded. "Yes."Sydney's heart sank after she got a definite answer from Sean, the person in question. "Why? There has to be a reason, right? I don't believe you have considered resignation for a long time. Gianna and I didn't hear about you quitting or feel you had the intention before you took a leave of absence and suddenly offered to resign. I never want to believe that nothing has happened to you. At the very beginning, Gianna and I guessed that you had a problem with
Chapter 1194 Sean Had Decided to Gave Birth to the BabyLuke wanted to ask, 'Can't you see I'm not happy?'The words were on his tongue, but he couldn't say them.Upset, Luke took a packet of cigarettes out of his pocket, pulled one out of it, and put it in his mouth. He then took out his lighter and was about to light the cigarette.However, just as the flame neared the cigarette, he suddenly paused. He glanced at the bed on which Sean was drinking the medicine, not paying attention to him. Then he put the lighter away and put the cigarette back in the packet.'I’m not going to smoke it. It's not a good cigarette. I'm going to change cigarettes next time. I didn't quit smoking for that woman.' Luke compressed his lips and thought to himself.Just then, Sean's cell phone rang, which broke the silence of the room.Sean finished her medicine. Her mouth was full of bitterness. She put the bowl back on the bedside table and hurriedly picked up a glass of water and took a sip of wate
Chapter 1193Gianna trusted Luke, so she didn't tell Sydney that Luke also knew Sean had been pregnant.She didn't feel the need to tell Sydney. "Mr. Chase will keep Sean's secret anyway."Convinced of this idea, Gianna had no worries at all. She looked at Sydney and asked, "Ms. Raines, do you think Sean quit the job because the miscarriage hurt her health?""I don't know, but it's possible." Sydney responded, giving a worried look.Sydney didn't have many female friends. Sean and Sharon were her only friends.Sharon followed Cayden to Jackal City. They had very little contact after that.Sydney called Sharon a couple of times, but the phone was never answered. Sydney guessed that Sharon must be busy or Cayden had assigned Sharon some tasks, so Sharon could not answer her calls.Last time when Sydney contacted Sharon, Sharon told her that Cayden didn't trust her and that he wouldn't allow her to follow him around as his bodyguard.Syndey hadn't talked to Sharon in a long time,
Chapter 1192 Sean Wants to Resign"Okay, I'll do it right away." The secretary nodded in response and picked up the file. "Then Ms. Raines, I'll take my leave."Sydney waved her hand. "Go ahead. Thank you.""You're welcome," Gianna smiled faintly and turned to head for the door.But after taking a few steps, she suddenly thought of something, stopped, and turned around. "By the way, Ms. Raines, there's something I don't know if I should say or not.""Just say it." Sydney lifted her chin slightly, signaling Gianna to continue.Seeing this, Gianna no longer hesitated. Standing upright, she said, "Here is the thing. This morning I went to HR Department. Secretarial Department recently needs to recruit a new assistant, so I went over there to ask if there were any suitable candidates.""Well, I know about this." Sydney nodded. "Go on."She knew that what her secretary wanted to say couldn't be this matter.Sure enough, Gianna took a breath and continued, "Then I heard them talking
