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 1039 Heated DiscussionNow Sydney finally knew that she was photographed in a hotel with a man and that many netizens guessed that she was having an affair with that man. ‘Oh, shit! How ridiculous!’ Sydney rolled her eyes, "Which man did I go to a hotel with? Why didn't I know?" Sean moved her lips and looked at Sydney with a hint of complexity before speaking, "Ms. Raines, you forgot that you and Mr. Chase went to Meteor Hotel to see Mr. Houston yesterday." Hearing this, Sydney remembered what had happened yesterday, and her face turned a little angry, "You mean that someone took photos of Luke and me going in and out of the hotel, and then they spread a rumor that I’m having an affair with Luke? The man in the photos is Luke?" "Yes," Sean lowered her eyes. Sydney smiled with anger, "These people are quite good at spreading rumors. I'd like to see what they say on the Internet." With that, she threw away the pen and turned on the computer. As soon as Sydney enter
Chapter 1040 Meaningful PhotosBecause of the unequal status and standard of living, netizens generally have malice against the rich in their hearts, so netizens prefer to see the rich surrounded by scandals than to see the rich live well. When the rich were not as elegant as they had used to be, netizens would not sympathize with them but would only laugh at them and even hurt them. It seemed that only in this way could netizens vent their sense of imbalance in identity and living standards. In short, the most terrible thing in the world was not ghosts but the hearts of people. Therefore, Sydney knew how bad the comments were before reading them. Some Netizens had a herd mentality and seldom had their own judgment. Meanwhile, they all had blind obedience to the media. They rarely doubted what the media said.Of course, there were also some people who were clear-headed and doubted whether the news was true or false. But so what? The jealousy of the rich made these clea
Chapter 1041 Not ThemEveryone in Port City knew that the Raines family and the Chase family were close.Luke and she grew up together.If the photo had been sent out without any editing, everyone would have recognized her and Luke in it, and some people would have doubted the authenticity of the photo. But the Squirrel team had deliberately blurred Luke's face, so that no one could tell it was him, and made people think that the man in the photo was a flashy and flirty guy. Only such a man would convince the public that the photo was real.After all, such a man would be very good at sweet-talking women, and she might have 'cheated' on Julien because of his 'sweet words'.Realizing their evil intentions, Sydney trembled in anger. She itched to break into their office and confront them."I wouldn't have noticed that Luke's face was edited if you hadn't pointed it out to me." Sydney clasped her slender fingers to suppress her anger.She couldn't help it. She had been so annoyed by the
Chapter 1042 Female Ringleader"Exactly." Sydney nodded, "That's what I mean.""So, the ringleader is a woman?" Sean's eyes widened in shock.Sydney nodded slightly, "Yes."The mastermind behind this was undoubtedly a woman.Sydney had her share of male admirers who wished to break her up with Julien, such as Luke and Cayden.But they would never stoop to such a low level.This method, though effective, would tarnish her reputation.They wouldn't do that to her.If they wanted to ruin anyone's reputation, it would be Julien's.But the online rumors painted her as a 'cheater' and Julien as a victim. It was obvious that the culprit only wanted to destroy her and leave Julien unscathed.The conclusion was clear: the ringleader was a woman who admired Julien."Do you see why I said the person behind this was not the same one who intercepted our parts?" Sydney asked her secretary.Sean nodded. "I see, but who was the one who took our parts?""It was Dallin Sullivan from Jackal City." Sydney
Chapter 1043 Having Been Stalked"You don't have to go yourself. Send an assistant over to handle it. I need you to go to the hotel Luke and I visited yesterday and find a way to obtain the security footage," Sydney said, narrowing her eyes.Sean hesitated. "I'm not sure if I can get the footage. Whoever's behind this will likely fear you using it to clear your name, so they may have destroyed it before we can get our hands on it.""I've considered that," Sydney said, rubbing her brow. "But we must try regardless."Nodding in agreement, Sean said, "I'll go in a moment. Should we tell Mr. Flint about the situation?"Sydney gave a faint smile. "Given the impact of the matter, he'll find out soon enough, either from his sources or those around him. I suspect he hasn't contacted me yet because he's preoccupied. Rest assured, he'll call once he's aware.""Okay." Sean patted her chest. "His knowledge of the matter is essential for resolving it.""Indeed. It concerns him as well, and w
Chapter 1044 Awaiting Your Good NewsApparently, the mastermind had been ready to seize the opportunity. Perhaps, her every move had been monitored long ago.It was even possible that there were moles within Skylight Corporation.Unaware of Sydney's thoughts, the man on the other end of the phone cringed at her question and nervously whispered, "I'm just a secretary who can't possibly know much. I only know that a woman told us to enlist paparazzi to keep an eye on you and wait to capture a scandalous moment."Just as she suspected!Sydney's eyes narrowed icily.Her intuition was proved correct.The mastermind was really a woman.And she had been laying the groundwork for some time."When did you start to stalk me?" Sydney inquired further.The secretary scratched his head. "I don't know the exact time. It was the editor-in-chief who ordered the surveillance, not us secretarial assistants. I can only give you a rough answer. It was about a week ago.""A week ago," Sydney sno
Chapter 1045 Mr. Guzman's FearDale offered the coffee with both hands, took a step back, and lowered his head. "Mr. Guzman, I just received a phone call from Ms. Raines of Skylight Group."As Mr. Guzman heard this, Mr. Guzman's hand holding the coffee cup shook. The coffee spilled out over his hand, scalding him. He jumped up from the chair and threw the coffee cup out.The coffee cup fell to the ground not far away with a clunk, smashing into pieces.The black coffee splashed all over the floor. The white floor became dirty and messy.The important thing was that Mr. Guzman was scalded severely.The coffee had just been boiled. It made his hands red and swollen. Mr. Guzman was shivering in pain, his fat face twitching.Dale did not expect his words to shock Mr. Guzman so much. Dale froze for a while before rushing to get a cold compress. "Mr. Guzman, I'm sorry. I did not remind you that the coffee was hot. Quickly put it on your hand."Mr. Guzman saw the cold compress, grabbe
