Chapter 1147 It Was Not Julien's Fault"I know." Julien responded.Sydney rubbed her temples and said, "Even if they had shown sincerity and brought me gifts, I wouldn't forgive them. However, that at least shows their attitude and I will respect them. I would believe that they meant it when they said they wanted to apologize. In the future, as long as they don't annoy me again, I won't be hard on them. But how can I forgive them when they have no respect for me? They intended very well to expect me to put in a good word for them with you. They think they are so smart.""I used to be too tolerant of them. I never warned them, so they went out of the boundary. They thought they could achieve everything using my name. I should be held responsible for that." Julien said in a hushed voice.It was Julien who allowed the McDaniel family to use his influence.Therefore, Julien believed that he was responsible for the McDaniel family's wrongdoings and that he should have warned the McDani
Chapter 1148 Sydney Wanted to Give Dallin a LessonSydney took the basket. It was heavy. Sydney frowned. She guessed the basket weighed more than ten pounds.Luke helped her put the basket on her desk. "It's no big deal. My mom knows you like these products from the countryside, so she brought these from my grandma’s hometown and asked me to bring these to you. My mom doesn't get to go to my grandma's very often. She doesn't know when she's going to visit my grandma next, so she brought quite a lot. She hopes you can enjoy them whenever you want to have them."Sydney laughed softly. "Sounds like Auntie made a special trip to the countryside to get me these. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude.""It's no big deal." Luke took an apple from the plate on the desk and took a bite. He leaned against the desk and said nonchalantly, "My mom thinks of you as her own daughter. She knew you loved them, so she brought you some. She hopes you like them.""I know Auntie loves me. She always brings m
Chapter 1149 Teach Dallin a Lesson"Yes, some of them." Luke rubbed his nose and gave an embarrassed look. "Do you remember my best buddy from high school? His name is Yuri.""I remember. He is very strong. He seems kind of nerdy, but he's a loyal friend," Sydney replied."Yup. After my father found out I was hanging out with punks a lot, he kicked me, so I quit the group. Yuri then became the leader. He’s not good at studying, but he's good at organizing people. That guy is a genius at leading people. Everyone in the group respects him. I don't know much about the group over the years, but I was in touch with Yuri and I heard a few things about the group. While it hasn't grown into a huge organization, it has some influence in Port City. Yuri can definitely get you a few punks." Luke promised as he patted his chest.Sydney nodded. "That's great. I want to find some punks and give Dallin a good beating. He’s so disgusting.""Syd, you've changed. You're a bad girl now." Luke gave a
Chapter 1150 Luke Knew Sean's PregnancyLuke's brain was buzzing with confusion at this moment.He was just passing by, not expecting to hear such shocking news.'This is fake, right?'It must be fake.'Sean... How can she be pregnant?'Even if she is pregnant, whose baby is she carrying?'Another man's, or...'Luke felt very uncomfortable as if something was stuck in his throat.At that moment, another voice came from the big office, not belonging to the one who had just said Sean was pregnant.But again, both were shocked."Seriously, is Sean really pregnant?""How is this possible? Are you lying to us?"The third person asked.And all this happened to be what Luke wanted to know the most right now.Subconsciously, he held his breath, stepped lightly toward the doorway of the big office, stopped at the wall next to the doorway, and then lowered his head to listen in silence.He needed to know if Sean was really pregnant or not and whose child she was carrying.Luke's
Chapter 1151 Luke Exploded in Anger"What?" Gianna asked in puzzlement.It was not surprising that she couldn't react in time. Luke's sudden appearance, with a menacing and enraged expression on his face, would certainly provoke such a reaction from anyone.The other secretaries and assistants also looked at each other, unsure of the current situation and why Luke was so angry."You’re referring to Sean’s pregnancy?" Luke clenched his fist tightly, exerting immense effort to control his rage, and through gritted teeth, he asked once more.Gianna suddenly realized. "Well, President Chase, it is true. Sean is indeed pregnant."Luke's pupils contracted again.Even though he had already heard this outside the door, his heart still surged with waves of shock when he heard Gianna say it again.Sean was really pregnant!Looking at Luke's strange reaction, Gianna blinked in confusion. "President Chase, is there anything wrong?"Luke raised his eyelids, revealing a pair of bloodshot e
Chapter 1152 Going Abroad to StudyIf it were the case, she could dream on.He had rejected her, so no matter what means she resorted to, he would not let her succeed, not even if she threatened him with the child in her womb.Luke hated this kind of person the most.He couldn't help but see Sean's pregnancy as a conspiracy.What else could explain her pregnancy at such a time?He had no choice but to suspect that she hadn't taken contraceptives and that she had lied to him to slacken his vigilance and buy time to get pregnant with his seed.Then she could come to him and make him take responsibility.That should be the case.The more Luke thought about it, the more he believed that was the truth. Even though he knew that Sean had made an appointment for an abortion, he did not change his mind.There must have been something wrong with the child, so she had to choose an abortion.Otherwise, an ambitious woman like her wouldn't have done this.In any case, he decided to teac
Chapter 1153 A Chance Encounter with Stephen Sydney also knew the importance of studying further abroad. So, of course, she did not refute Julien's words. "It's just..." Sydney bit her lip, her face full of embarrassment. "If I leave, who will manage Skylight?"This was her biggest dilemma now. Julien chuckled, "Find a professional manager, or when the time comes, I'll send someone over. How about Zach?" Sydney smiled, "Zach is going to be the president of a tech company in Loughtown next year, isn't he? And this branch is a listed company. If you let Zach, who is qualified to manage a listed company, take charge of my small company, that will be a waste of his talent. That's unfair to him. Even if Zach doesn't mind, I will feel guilty.""So you want a professional manager?" Julien raised an eyebrow. Sydney nodded. "I have no choice, but I am not very at ease about general professional managers. I have not contacted any people in this field. Can you help me choose one
Chapter 1154 A Gift for Julien's GrandmaSydney certainly felt the malice from Stephen.She was not surprised since he was hostile to her from the very beginning.Unfazed and indifferent to it, she continued her way forward, went past him, and left the building.Her indifference annoyed him so much that his hands trembled.The follower behind him was indignant and fanned the flame. "Mr. Dayton, she's being too arrogant. Even though she's the chairman, you're a senior to her. It's impolite that she didn't even greet you."Stephen sneered. "She is arrogant because she has Julien backing her up. But one day, I will make her pay the price.""That's right." The follower agreed and believed in his words."Enough flattery. Let's go." Stephen looked back in the direction Sydney had left and then turned away. He forced himself to calm down and walked toward the elevator.Sydney didn't know anything about their discussion.She didn't want to know. At the sight of Julien's car, she smil
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
