Chapter 1031 Accept His HelpJulien frowned and fell silent.After a long while, he suddenly hugged her tightly. "No wonder you haven't even shown a great deal of anxiety when the parts have been missing for three days. If my people hadn't found out that Neil had gone to ZX, I wouldn't have known that such a big thing had happened to your company. You mortgaged the Raines family's villa. Do you know what that means? That villa has special meaning to you. You..."Seeming to know what Julien was going to say, Sydney tilted her head and looked at him with a smile. "It doesn't matter. To me, that villa is just like an ordinary house. In my heart, it doesn't have any special meaning.""What?" Julien was obviously stunned by her words. "No special meaning? Isn't that your home?"Sydney smiled, "It was once my home, but it was defiled by some people who shouldn't have stayed there. The stench of those people covered the whole villa and erased the traces of my sweet home long ago. It just
Chapter 1032 Julien's RepaymentOtherwise, Luke would not have been so generous as to let the woman he loved be with another man.It seemed Julien no longer needed to be wary of Luke."How are you going to repay them?" Sydney asked curiously, taking Julien's hand.Julien touched her head. "That's my business. Don't worry. I will be generous to them."Sydney rolled her eyes at him. "I didn't say you wouldn't. You're too rich to be stingy."Julien laughed, "Should I be happy that I have such a good image in your mind?""Sure," Sydney smiled.Julien flicked her forehead. "Okay, now is time to talk about the punishment.""Punishment?" Sydney looked at Julien in confusion. "Who are you going to punish?"Julien didn't answer, his deep gaze falling on her.Sydney's heart jumped.She thought, 'What does he mean?'"You're not going to punish me, are you?" Sydney pointed at her nose in amazement.Julien replied, "Your concealment upset me anyway, so I'll punish you. You have to acc
Chapter 1033 Chaim's IntentionJulien went silent.He was surprised that although Chaim was now in a very precarious position, he agreed to give Sydne a loan of 200 million dollars.Julien could imagine the pressure Chaim was under to convince the bank's board of directors to approve the loan, although Julien suspected that Chaim had done so for a purpose.Julien guessed that Chaim did it to impress him.Julien knew Chaim. Chaim did not major in finance when he was young. In fact, he was a psychology major, so he was good at manipulating people.Chaim told Sydney that he could give her a loan but only if she and Julien were in a stable relationship. Chaim was lying to Sydney.Chaim's real intention was to find out if Julien and Sydney were in a close relationship and if he could use the opportunity to get something for himself.When Sydney's company was in trouble, instead of turning to Julien, she turned to the bank for a loan, so Chaim suspected that Sydney and Julien were br
Chapter 1034 Chaim's ConcernAt that moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was extraordinarily depressing.Chaim was sitting at the top of the conference table. He was staring at the laptop in front of him. He had a calm face. He didn't pay attention to the others or the look in their eyes.He ignored them all as if they weren’t present.But actually, only Chaim himself knew that inside, he was very anxious.The calmness on his face was just a cover.He was extremely nervous inside."Mr. Houston." Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a suit stood up and spoke up, breaking the eerie silence in the room.Everyone else turned to the man, including Chaim.The moment Chaim heard the man call out to him, he knew that the storm was coming. They couldn't stay silent all the time.Chaim sighed quietly and squeezed the mouse in his hand, and then he looked up at the man. He still had a calm face. "What’s the matter?""Mr. Houston, you said that Mr. Flint would definitely be gratefu
Chapter 1035 The Plan Worked OutSo, Chaim was rather anxious now.He took off his glasses and rubbed his sore eyes. Then he suppressed his tension and began answering the questions from the people in the conference room. "Well, I understand that you're worried, but there’s no point in talking about it now. Please be quiet."Chaim signaled them to keep quiet.Having been the president for many years, he was respected by his team. Upon hearing his words, they stopped throwing questions and gradually fell silent.Even the middle-aged man, the first person to raise the question, sat down.Seeing this, Chaim felt slightly relieved and then continued, "Don't worry. I said that Mr. Flint would definitely help us as long as we granted Ms. Raines her loan of 20 million. It’s still early now. Maybe Mr. Flint doesn't know that we have approved Ms. Raines’ loan."Chaim had to explain in this way to appease these people temporarily.However, some people were still unconvinced."Mr. Housto
Chapter 1036 Sydney Also Persuaded LukeWhen Chaim heard Zach's warning, he gave a cold shudder and replied seriously, "I'm sorry. Please tell Mr. Flint that such a thing will definitely not happen again."Chaim was not a fool. He knew that he could only do something once.If he did it again, he would be asking for trouble."Okay. It’s good that you know it. I’ll hang up," Zach answered coldly and then hung up.Afterward, Zach sent Julien a message that Chaim had thanked him.In Shallow Bay, Julien dried his hair and was about to go to sleep in the room.Hardly had he taken a step when his phone in the bathrobe pocket rang. He took it out to have a look. After making a reply, he put the phone aside and went on walking into the room.Julien entered the room and stood by the bed. He stared at Sydney, who was sleeping with pink cheeks. After giving a resigned smile, he bent down, gently squeezed her nose and then whispered, "Honey, you're sleeping so soundly. You think that Chaim
Chapter 1037 Keep It a Secret"Of course, I'm a good boss." Julien lifted his chin slightly. His face was filled with complacency.Sydney's lips twitched. "Don't you know that I'm being ironic?"She knew that he liked to exploit Zach.But she didn't expect him to exploit Zach extravagantly!Besides, it seemed that Julien didn't think that he was wrong.Julien leaned against the chair and replied with a smile, "I know it."He wasn't stupid. Of course, he knew what she drove at."Then why are you so complacent?" Sydney rolled her eyes at him.Julien smiled. "If I hadn't asked Zach to work overtime, I would have worked overtime and had less time to be with you. So I naturally asked him to work overtime. After all, he's single and has much free time."What Julien had said was shameless, but he said so plausibly. Sydney was stuck for words. She felt angry but funny.She sympathized with Zach.'How can Julien exploit Zach just because Zach is single?'Sydney supported her forehe
Chapter 1038 A RumorSeeing that Sydney was reluctant to tell him, Julien arched his eyebrows and didn't force her. He smiled faintly and said, "Alright, don't talk about Zach anymore. If you mention other men all the time, I will be jealous. Why are you calling me? What do you want to say?"Sydney twisted her lips. "Why are you so sure that I'm calling you because I have something to talk about to you? Maybe I feel bored and would like to chat with you."Julien chuckled. "I know that you're not the kind of person who likes to chat with me during working hours."Julien tapped his finger on the phone screen and signaled her to look back.Sydney turned around to have a look. Bookshelves were behind her back.Julien meant that she was in her study, and thus she was also working like him.What Julien had said was right. During working hours, except for business, she wouldn't call or text anyone to chat.Julien was the same.Sydney called him during working hours this time. It mean
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
