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
Chapter 1046 Sydney's Worries"What?" Dale froze, unable to believe what he had heard.The woman able to protect a company from Mr. Flint's retaliation actually did not rely on a powerful family.No one would believe it."Could it be that this woman has some special ability that can make Mr. Flint give in?" Dale looked at Mr. Guzman and asked.Mr. Guzman waved his hand. "Of course not. It's because of her grandfather.""Her grandfather?""That's right." Mr. Guzman nodded. "Her grandfather is Mr. McDaniel, the head of the McDaniel family.""The McDaniel family that does the online business?" asked Dale, rubbing his chin.Mr. Guzman said, "Yeah. Mr. McDaniel used to be a professor of economics and Mr. Flint's teacher. Mr. Flint's achievements are partly due to Mr. McDaniel's teaching. Mr. McDaniel's granddaughter, Miss McDaniel, is about the same age as Mr. Flint. They are childhood friends, so even if Miss McDaniel does something wrong, Mr. Flint will forgive her for Mr. McDani
Chapter 1047 Sounding So Sure of ItSince he was calling her at such a moment, he should have known about what happened on the internet.She just had no idea if he knew who was behind it.If he knew, what would he do?Sydney looked at the caller ID, her heart heavy with apprehension. She hesitated for a moment before finally answering the call, her voice barely above a whisper. "Hello?""Ms. Raines." To her surprise, what came from the other end of the phone was Zack's voice.Sean froze, about to ask, when Zack offered an explanation. "It's me, Zack. Mr. Flint is currently in a meeting with some guests. I took the liberty of calling you from his phone."Sydney realized what was going on.Her disappointment was palpable as she pursed her lips. She had been hoping to hear Julien's voice."What can I do for you, Zack?" she asked wearily, rubbing her temples.She felt like something was inside gnawing her mind."I want to check if you're okay," Zack said with concern. "I've seen
