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
Chapter 1048 Mr. McDaniel's PersuasionSure enough, Julien turned around and saw Zack pacing back and forth outside, looking tense.Knowing Zack well, Julien speculated it should be something important."Excuse me," Julien said, standing up and nodding apologetically to the old man across the table.Mr. McDaniel knew what was coming and picked up his cup of tea with a smile. "No worries. Go ahead with it. I'm not in a hurry.""Okay. Just a second," Julien said, nodding slightly before waving to his assistant.Zack immediately came in. "Mr. Flint.""What is it?" Julien asked.Zack didn't answer directly but glanced at Mr. McDaniel, who was sipping his tea.Julien said, "Just go ahead with it. My teacher is not an outsider.""Yes," Zack agreed, nodding before turning back to Julien. "Something has happened to Ms. Raines.""What?" Julien changed colors and asked with concern, "What happened?"Zack was about to answer.But Mr. McDaniel put down his cup and cut in, "Ms. Raines
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
