Chapter 1120 Angle for Sympathy"You should!" Felicia exclaimed, clapping her hands in agreement.She looked at the Old Madam, asking, "So, what's your plan? Do you want to meet Mr. McDaniel?""Since they're already here, why not?" the Old Madam replied, lifting the covers. "Besides, I don't have much time left. He wants to use me as a pawn. If I don't see him and take revenge, who knows when I'll get another chance?""What are you talking about?" Felicia helped her out of bed, sounding displeased. "You will live long enough to see Mr. Julien and Ms. Raines remarry. You can even hold your great-grandson. Maybe you'll even attend Mr. Jayden's wedding. By the way, he'll be back soon. He's close to the finals, right?"The Old Madam chuckled. "That kid has been gone for several months, and I really miss him.""In that case, should I give him a call tomorrow? When he comes back, he can visit you immediately," Felicia suggested, helping the Old Madam put on her coat.The Old Madam wav
Chapter 1121 InappropriateMr. McDaniel nodded. "Of course, it's magnificent. This place used to be a prince's mansion during the feudal era. After the founding of the country, it was allocated to Old Mr. Flint as a reward for his contributions to the nation. Later, the Flint family invested a lot of money in repairing and renovating the mansion, turning it into the grand estate we see today.""No wonder it's so grand. Most of the other prince's mansions have either been confiscated by the government or forcefully demolished. It's very rare. How I wish that our family could have a residence like this!" Clay said admiringly, looking around.Mr. McDaniel made no comments.He also longed for a garden like this, but their family wasn't powerful or rich enough.It didn't matter. Once Erin married into the Flint family and Old Mrs. Flint passed away, Erin would become the hostess. At that time, he might have a chance to move in.Then it would be no different from owning it. As for Ve
Chapter 1122 Over the TopAfter his thought was exposed, Mr. McDaniel felt a little embarrassed. He was just sitting there as if he was frozen.When the Old Madam saw Mr. McDaniel like this, she smiled and patted the back of Felicia's hand. "Felicia's right, Mr. McDaniel. If you need anything, then you can get straight to the point. There's no point going around in circles. I'm getting old, so I can't be bothered to solve riddles. It will only be a waste of your time and mine. What do you say?"The corners of Mr. McDaniel's mouth twitched. "You're right, Old Madam. Since that's the case, then I'll get straight to the point.""You should have done that at the start," the Old Madam said indifferently.Mr. McDaniel took a deep breath. He wasn't happy, but there was nothing he could do.He was used to negotiating tactfully and not getting to the point.This was because he felt that getting straight to the point would mean that he was no longer in control of the conversation.For so
Chapter 1123 Laying It Bare"Going over the top?" As if hearing a funny joke, Old Mrs. Flint slammed her hand down on the table and sneered, "Mr. McDaniel, do you think Julien and Syd are going over the top by handling the matter this way?""Isn't it?" Mr. McDaniel looked displeased. "Erin made a mistake, but it wasn't intentional. Is it necessary for Julien to go so hard on us? We can issue an apology announcement. Isn't that enough?""So, this is how you people see this matter." Old Mrs. Flint sneered at the old man. "As I see it, it is necessary. I don't care whether your granddaughter did it intentionally or not. All I know is that she did it. Without verifying the truth, she unilaterally concluded that Syd had cheated on Julien, and she made it public online for what? Wasn't it to make Syd suffer the criticism of netizens? But have you ever thought about what Syd might do if she couldn't bear the cyberbullying?""I know." Felicia squinted at Mr. McDaniel. "It's very likely tha
Chapter 1124 FoolishAs Mr. McDaniel heard these words, his face changed drastically.Clay, who hadn't dared to open his mouth since he was rebuked by the Old Madam, blanched at that.He hurriedly looked at the Old Madam beside him with an anxious expression.Clay thought, 'We're finished. These two ladies know Erin's feelings for Julien.'Mr. McDaniel was also a bit flustered, but after all, he was aged and experienced, so he quickly calmed down, clenched his fists, and forced a smile. "Felicia, you must be joking. How could I possibly have such thoughts?""Since we've said so much, stop pretending. We've known your granddaughter's feelings for Mr. Julien for many years. After all, she can't take her eyes off him every time they meet. It is just too obvious to be ignored." Felicia rolled her eyes contemptuously. "Mr. McDaniel, everyone knows how much you dote on your granddaughter. No matter what she wants, you will try to satisfy her. Now that she likes Mr. Julien, of course, y
Chapter 1125 Felicia Reported to JulienFelicia helped the Old Madam back into her bedroom as they talked.The Old Madam was tired. She didn’t pass the time by reading books, as she used to when sleep eluded her.Felicia took the Old Madam to her room and helped her get into bed.After the Old Madam got into bed, she fell asleep quickly.Felicia smiled when she saw the Old Madam fall asleep. She tucked the Old Madam in and left the room.After closing the door behind her, Felicia took out her cell phone. Turning her head to look at the door of the Old Madam's bedroom, she had a hesitant look on her face.After a few seconds, the hesitation on Felicia's face disappeared and turned into a look of determination.Although the Old Madam had told her not to tell Julien that his mentor, Mr. McDaniel, had come during the day, Felicia thought it best to tell Julien.She was afraid that Julien would be more worried if he learned about it later.With that thought in mind, Felicia dialed
Chapter 1126 You Don't Want to Be Mrs. Flint?Julien suddenly clenched the cell phone.If it were not hard enough, he would be able to crush it.The McDaniel family actually dared to go to the old residence to bully his grandmother.It seemed that his indulgence of the McDaniel family over the years had made them not even take his grandmother seriously.Felicia didn't know what Julien was thinking, but she knew that he must be angry."Yes, Ms. Raines. They came to the old residence and attempted to use the Old Madam to accomplish their ends. They were just bullying the Old Madam!" Felicia said indignantly.Julien finally said in a cold voice, "Felicia, what happened during the meeting between the McDaniel family and my grandma? What did they say? Tell me all about it.""Yes, Mr. Julien." Felicia nodded and then told Julien everything that had happened since the McDaniel family arrived at the old residence.She didn't exaggerate the truth.After all, she looked down on such be
Chapter 1127 Are You Going to Break Your Words?Julien knew Sydney wanted to marry him, but she wouldn't say it outright due to her shyness.Julien wished Sydney wouldn't be so shy and tell him she wanted to be his wife straightforwardly.But he knew it was not possible, at least not for now.Sydney was too shy to admit it.Julien was determined to make her get rid of the shyness in front of him.He narrowed his eyes, raised his thumb to her lips, and rubbed her lips with it.Sydney felt a tickle on her lips. She turned her head sideways and tried to back away.However, Julien expected her to dodge. Just as she turned her head away, he immediately clasped the back of her head with his other hand so she failed to back away."You..." Sydney looked at him with wide eyes and was about to question him. But she quickly noticed the desire in his eyes.Immediately, Sydney's heart thumped. She guessed that Julien had something evil in mind.Her body stiffened. After a second, she cam
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
