Chapter 1097 Erin's BreakdownMr. Guzman was about to go crazy with this result, and his heart was filled with remorse.If he had not been so greedy at that time and had weighed the importance of the McDaniel family and Sydney to Julien, he might not have ended up like this."Mr. Flint, please let me go. I was wrong. Boohoo..."Mr. Guzman cried so pitifully.But unfortunately, neither Julien nor Sydney softened.Sydney said coldly, "Now you know you were wrong. Did you think about what would happen to me if Julien suspected I cheated on him when you helped Erin fix me? Oh, of course, you didn't. You only have an eye for money and benefits. That's why you don't care about other people's lives. So why should we care about your life? You asked for this. It's useless for you to beg anyone. Of course, you can go beg the culprit who put you in such a bad situation.""Erin?" Mr. Guzman shouted in a hoarse voice.Julien was noncommittal. "She said she could protect you, didn't she? The
Chapter 1098 A Huge Blow"Drive me out of Port City?" Mr. Guzman laughed as if he had heard a big joke.His laughter was filled with mockery and contempt.Hearing this, Erin was annoyed and had an ominous feeling."You... What are you laughing at?" Erin's cute face was twisted. She slapped her quilt angrily, warning loudly, "You're not allowed to laugh. Do you hear me? Stop laughing!"Mr. Guzman didn't pay any attention to Erin, and he continued to laugh wantonly on the other end of the phone.After laughing for a while, he managed to stop, his eyes sarcastic. "Erin, if you had said this before today, I might believe it. After all, your grandfather is Mr. Flint's teacher. If you want to deal with me, your grandfather will surely help you. If Mr. Flint learns it, he will not care about a nobody like me. But you said that today. How hilarious!""What do you mean?" Erin's grip on the cell phone tightened, and the uneasiness in her heart grew stronger.Mr. Guzman gave a cold, evil
Chapter 1099 Many Missed CallsErin shook her head violently and yelled with disbelief, "No! No!" She didn't believe that her grandpa wasn't as important to Julien as Sydney.Erin's unwillingness to accept reality didn't surprise Mr. Guzman.After all, this woman had previously been convinced that her grandfather was very important to Julien. That was why Erin dared to be so high and mighty and promise that even if Mr. Guzman angered Julien by messing with Sydney, she would protect him from Julien's retaliation.That was a kind of stupid confidence.The funny thing was that Mr. Guzman had really believed this woman's bullshit before."I can't help it if you don't believe it," Mr. Guzman sneered. "But that's the truth. Your grandfather just isn't as important to Julien as Sydney, not to mention you. So do you think Julien will let you off the hook after what you've done and that your grandfather will be able to protect you?"Erin was dumbfounded.If her grandpa was not importa
Chapter 1100 Clay's Persuasion"Why didn't you discuss it with me and your grandfather before taking action?" The middle-aged man rubbed his temple on the other end of the phone. "Now look at what's happened. Not only did it fail, but you were exposed too quickly. Everyone now knows that you were behind it, and they are criticizing our family online."The news was a bolt from the blue, and Erin's face turned bloodless. "How can I be exposed? I was so discreet. How could anyone know it was me?"She found it hard to believe.Her father, Clay McDaniel, put his hand off his temple. "Discreet? Is that what you call it? You left a trace by contacting Mr. Guzman of the Squirrel Team with your private number. Do you think that you can rely on your identity as the daughter of the McDaniel family to act recklessly and that it doesn't matter if others know who you are because they dare not bite you back?"Erin opened her mouth, but no words came out.That was exactly what she had thought.
Chapter 1101 The McDaniel Family's ApologyClay had no idea what his daughter was thinking, but he was glad that she had listened to him. "That's right. Before doing anything, just discuss it with me and your grandfather. Remember that we will always be on your side, and more than anyone else, we want you to be with Julien, alright?""I see." Erin nodded. Then she bit her lip and asked, "But Dad, what should we do now? Julien is angry with us, and he wouldn't answer our calls. This is not a good sign. I don't want him to hate me. If that happens, I'll never win his heart, will I?"Clay narrowed his eyes. "It's not good that Julien is angry with us, but don't worry. Your grandfather will take care of it. We made a mistake in this matter, and I believe that if we apologize and let your grandfather mediate, Julien will forgive us. After all, the relationship between him and your grandfather is extraordinary."In short, Clay didn't believe that Julien would sever his relationship with his
Chapter 1102 The Stupid McDaniel GroupWith the question in her mind, Sydney tapped the message bar and went to her personal social media page.The next moment, Sydney saw who had mentioned her.It was the official account of the McDaniel Group.'Interesting!'Sydney's red lips were slightly curved.She would like to see what the McDaniel Group wanted to do with her.Sydney clicked on the message and soon saw the McDaniel Group's tweet.After reading the tweet, she couldn't hold back her laughter, which clearly revealed a hint of sarcasm.The road ahead was straight and empty, so Julien turned his head quickly to look at her. "What are you laughing at?"Sydney looked up. "Do you know the McDaniel family mentioned me on Twitter?""Mentioned you?" Julien frowned.Sydney held her phone up to him. "Yeah, they even used their company's official account."Julien's eyesight was very good. Even though Sydney just swayed the phone before him, he could read the content on it. His ha
Chapter 1103 The Public Didn't Buy ItOr did the McDaniel family think that the public was stupid enough to see any sincerity in this apology?Perhaps the McDaniel family really thought so.They thought that the public was a bunch of ordinary snobs who always respected the rich.So the McDaniel family felt once the public saw this apology, they would be appeased.Perhaps some people thought so, but unfortunately, the vast majority of the public were normal people. They were indeed ordinary.But they were not inferior and blind enough to think this apology was to them too.All Sydney could say was that the McDaniel Group had underestimated the public.The public was actually very easy to deal with. If the McDaniel Group had made a sincere apology to them or mentioned them in that statement, Sydney believed that most of them would have forgiven the McDaniel Group.After all, no one was stupid enough to go against the capital all the time.However, the McDaniel Group didn't do t
Chapter 1104 Arrogant'Those people are actually scolding us on the Internet.'How is this possible!'Yet seeing the serious expression on the secretary's face, Clay had to take it.Clay's fists placed on the desk were clenched. His wrinkled face became a bit more aged, and his eyes revealed a bewildered look. "How could this be?"He couldn't figure it out.'We've already apologized.'Why are those unruly people still cursing us?'Seeming to have seen Clay's puzzlement, the secretary lowered his head with a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.Thing had come to this, yet Clay still hadn't realized what he did wrong.The secretary felt he really had to consider his best friend's suggestion and resign to find another job.Otherwise, the McDaniel Group would sooner or later be brought down by such an incompetent leader.Of course, the secretary didn't dare to show his thoughts. He asked with a worried face, "Mr. McDaniel, what should we do now?"Clay clenched his fists again
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
