Chapter 1139 DisgustClay disliked Sydney even more at that moment.He thought, 'Sydney didn't immediately agree to see me. She must be keeping me waiting on purpose.'She has the courage to do this just because of Julien's support.'This kind of woman is too snobbish. She can't compare to Erin. She is not worthy of Julien at all.'Just when Clay was ready to force his way upstairs, the receptionist suddenly said something on the phone, put down the receiver, and looked at Clay and his assistant. "Mr. McDaniel, sorry to keep you waiting. Ms. Raines has agreed to meet you. Please follow me upstairs."After saying that, she made a gesture.Once Clay heard this, he looked less annoyed, but he didn't restrain his temper. Waving his hand, he grunted coldly, "That's more like it."Hearing this, the receptionist frowned and secretly rolled her eyes.She thought, 'Shit, what an idiot! How dare he be so arrogant on someone else's territory?'He didn't teach his daughter well, causing
Chapter 1140 The Brainless ClaySeeing the receptionist leave, Sydney turned back and said to Clay, who was sitting lazily on the couch, "Mr. McDaniel, my employee needs my help. Please wait a moment. I'll be right back."She maintained a polite smile on her face, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.She just couldn't bring herself to be warm toward this man.Setting aside the fact that he was Erin's father, she had no good feelings toward the McDaniel family.And every move made by Clay irritated her.She had never seen any visitor who acted as arrogant as him."Go ahead, but you'd better be quick. I have other things to attend to, and I don't have much time to waste here," Clay said arrogantly, lifting his arm to check his watch.Obviously, he didn't consider Sydney as his equal, but rather as a small potato he could summon at his will.Sydney squinted at him, lowered her eyes to hide the coldness within, and smiled before leaving the office.The assistant standing behind C
Chapter 1141 A Ridiculous ApologyHearing Sydney's words, Clay condescendingly looked at the cup in front of him.Looking at the coffee in the coffee cup, Clay frowned. "What kind of coffee is this?"Sydney also crossed her legs and smiled elegantly, "Don't worry, Mr. McDaniel. What I am entertaining you with is naturally not any expensive coffee. It's just ordinary coffee."Clay's face changed greatly. "You entertain me with ordinary coffee? Is this how Skylight treats guests?"Sydney picked up her coffee cup, took a sip, and said indifferently, "It can't be helped. Skylight is just a small company. I can't afford to change the decoration from twenty years ago, so Mr. McDaniel, do you think I have any good coffee for you? I'm kind enough to serve you ordinary coffee. Just drink it. After all, I treat you as a guest. Otherwise, I would just serve you water."She emphasized the words "the decoration from twenty years ago".Although Clay's ability to do business was average, he wa
Chapter 1142 Clay's Funny SpeechSydney looked at Clay with indifferent eyes and sneered, "Mr. McDaniel, you said you came to apologize to me, but your daughter didn’t come. You didn't bring any gifts. And you were so rude to me. Are you seriously apologizing to me? You look like you're here to threaten me."Clay's assistant nodded subconsciously.He had reminded Clay to bring gifts before they came. 'It looks insincere to go to apologize empty-handed.'But Clay wouldn't listen to him. He was just an assistant. There was nothing he could do.'You should have listened to me! Ha, it serves you right!'"Should I bring you some gifts?" Clay wasn't happy about what Sydney had just said. He narrowed his eyes at Sydney and said in a grim voice, "You think I'm not here to apologize to you but to threaten you?"Sydney answered with a sneer, "You say you've come to apologize to me, but your words are full of threats. Honestly, Mr. McDaniel, I don't think you came here to apologize. If
Chapter 1143 Playing HardballThe words from Sydney were anything but polite, which filled Clay with intense fury.However, Sydney continued to add fuel to the fire. "As for what you just said about the relationship between the McDaniel family and the Flint family, and how I need to curry favor with your family in order to be with Julien, it's even more ridiculous. Even though we don't hold any grudges now, it appears that your daughter is scheming to sabotage my relationship with Julien. You clearly know the reasons behind it, right? Your daughter has developed feelings for Julien and wishes to replace me if given the chance."Clay looked quite embarrassed and turned to the side. He didn't expect Sydney to know all this.Sydney continued with a sneer, "Furthermore, even if I were to flatter you, forgive you without holding any grudges, and speak highly of you to Julien, it wouldn't prevent you from obstructing our relationship. Your father, who happens to be Julien's teacher, sp
Chapter 1144 UnsuccessfulSydney glanced at him. "Since you dared to be so arrogant on my turf, can't I fight back? Take them away!"She waved her hand impatiently as she gave the order.A few security guards nodded and dragged the two of them out.His assistant didn't resist and just allowed the security guards to drag him out.However, it was a different story for Clay. It was the first time in his life that he had experienced such a treatment. He felt that he was utterly humiliated.Growing up in the McDaniel family, Clay had been doted on by his elders and had never suffered any grievance.When his father became Julien's teacher, the McDaniel family had the backing of the Flint family. This caused the McDaniel family to skyrocket in terms of status.From that day onwards, a lot of people tried to please Clay, and no one dared to treat him in such a way.It could be said that after the McDaniel family was backed by the Flint family, Clay was able to get anything he wanted,
Chapter 1145 ComplaintHow could Irvin not complain to Mr. McDaniel?Irvin knew about Clay's trip to Skylight and his purpose.After all, before Clay went there, Irvin, Mr. McDaniel, and Clay had a small meeting in the conference room to discuss how to gain Sydney's forgiveness and agreement to plead with Julien for them.And before Clay set off, he swore that there would be no problem and that he would succeed.Yet what about the result?Clay was thrown out.The reason was that his attitude was arrogant and that his apology was insincere.Clay seemed to have forgotten what they had said during the meeting.It really pissed Irvin off."Hello." Just as Irvin was thinking, Mr. McDaniel's old but spiritual voice came from the phone.Irvin hurriedly sat up straight. "Mr. McDaniel, I have something to tell you. It's about Clay."Meanwhile, Mr. McDaniel, who was dressed in white sportswear, stood in the garden of the villa, sweating profusely and panting heavily.Obviously, befo
Chapter 1146 An IdiotMr. McDaniel lost his cool, held the phone tightly, and growled on the phone, “You’re such an idiot! You’re not my son!”At that moment, Mr. McDaniel was just like Clay who had made a scene in Sydney’s office.No wonder Clay was Mr. McDaniel’s son. They not only looked like each other, but their manners were similar.Clay didn’t expect Mr. McDaniel to be so angry. Clay shrank his neck in fright and put the phone further away.Clay covered his ear and complained on the phone, “Dad, what are you doing? I’m still in the car, and my assistant is also here. Save my face. How can you say that I’m an idiot?”Mr. McDaniel laughed in anger, “See what you did. Save your face? Don’t you feel ashamed?”Clay felt annoyed and retorted in confusion, “What did I do?”Mr. McDaniel sneered, “What did you do? You will know it soon. Come back within half an hour. If I didn’t see you in half an hour, you would be screwed.”As soon as Mr. McDaniel finished speaking, he hung up
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
