Chapter 1156 The McDaniel Family’s ConspiracyErin was indeed very smart and immediately guessed Mr. McDaniel’s intentions. She excitedly laughed, "Grandpa, you intend to use this banquet to invite Julien over. This way, we will have a chance to meet him and improve our two families’ relationship. We won't be as helpless as we are now, unable to even meet Julien.""You’re right. That's exactly what I mean," Mr. McDaniel smiled proudly at his granddaughter.In his opinion, his granddaughter was outstanding in every aspect.Clay frowned at this moment. "Dad, what if Julien doesn't attend the banquet? Then we still won't be able to see him, will we?"As soon as this question was raised, Erin became nervous as well. "Yes, Grandpa. What if Julien really doesn't come? I haven't seen him for almost seven years...""Erin, don't worry. I will make sure you see Julien." Mr. McDaniel narrowed his sharp and shrewd eyes.Erin's eyes lit up. "Grandpa, do you have an idea?"Mr. McDaniel nodde
Chapter 1157 Blocked"No, I can't sit here and do nothing." Erin clenched her fists, her eyes glinting with chilling malice. "I can't bring down Sydney any time soon, but I can deal with the Ward family.""What do you plan to do?" Glenda looked at her daughter with horror.Erin smirked evilly. "Don't worry, Mom. The Ward family is eager to climb the social ladder and build a connection with Julien's family through marriage. I will make sure they give up the idea. Julien can only belong to me. No one can take him away from me. Wait and see. On the day of the banquet, the Ward family will give in."Erin ignored her mother and quickly went upstairs.Once upstairs, she took out her phone and dialed a number that she had looked at almost every day when she was abroad. It had been ingrained in her mind, and she would never forget. Touching the screen, she took a deep breath and pressed the Dail button.Her heart started racing, and her face blushed. The twisted and sinister expression
Chapter 1158 Can't Be Her GranddaughterJulien pretended to jealously look at the two people sitting at the dining table, but his eyes and heart were only filled with tenderness.His jealousy was only for show."Mr. Julien, why are you still standing there? Come and sit down." Felicia, who had arranged dinner for the Old Madam and Sydney, beckoned to Julien as she saw that he was still standing at the entrance.Her voice caught the attention of the Old Madam and Sydney, and they both looked over.Only then did Sydney realize that she had been too engrossed in talking to Old Madam to forget about him.In a hurry, she awkwardly stood up and was about to step towards him. "Sorry, I forgot you. You...""Syd, don't go." Old Madam grabbed Sydney's hand, pulling her back to her seat. Then she stared at Julien with a disdainful expression. "He's a grown-up with legs. You don't have to invite him."Julien felt embarrassed and grumbled, "Grandma...""Don't complain, come over on your ow
Chapter 1159 To Be Part of the Flint FamilySydney looked at the smirking man who had achieved his goal and then at signing Old Madam who looked regretful.Annoyed, she glared at Julien, patted Old Madam's hand, and comforted her with a smile. "Grandma, don't listen to him. Although I can't be your biological granddaughter, you can treat me as one. This doesn't conflict with my relationship with Julien. Just like how some mothers-in-law see their daughters-in-law as their daughters, it doesn't affect the relationship between their sons and daughters-in-law. It's not like you're going to adopt me.""Ms. Raines has a point. There's no conflict." Felicia agreed with Sydney and joined her to console Old Madam.Old Madam thought about it, looking at Felicia and then Sydney. Liveliness came back to her face, and she smiled. "Then it's settled."Relieved, Sydney nodded vigorously.At the same time, she didn't forget to glare at the man again.It was all his fault.Grandma had been in
Chapter 1160 He Came to Pick You Up"Like you, I had Clay kicked out," Sydney said, giggling behind her hand.Old Madam and Felicia were both surprised."You kicked him out?" Old Madam looked at her, asking, "Really?""Yeah!" Sydney nodded and then took out her phone, tapping a few times before showing her the video from earlier in the day. "Take a look at this.""Okay." Old Madam took the phone.Felicia quickly handed her a pair of reading glasses.Old Madam took them on and looked at the phone.On the screen displayed Clay being dragged out by two security guards. Old Madam slapped her thigh and burst into laughter. "Well done! That's how we deal with people like him."Felicia, who was also watching the video, echoed her words. "That's right. Shameless people should be dealt with harsh measures, or they'll think you're a pushover.""Yeah. I thought the same way and had them thrown out," Sydney crowed, seeing them support her actions.Receiving compliments and recognition f
Chapter 1161 Taking Your Wife AwayJulien stared intently at Sydney, unable to take his eyes off her. It was just hard to ignore her blush.Felicia chuckled, teasing him. "Old Madam, look, as soon as Mr. Julien comes in, he only has eyes for Ms. Raines. It looks like old people like us are not worthy of his attention.""True but normal. Whether he will choose a young beauty or two elderly people with gray hair, the answer is obvious." Holding her cup, Old Madam looked at the heaven-made couple with a smile.When Sydney heard their teasing, the blush that had just subsided was coming back. She couldn't help but cover her face and lower her head.Julien looked at her earlobes, which flushed even redder, and then at the two old ladies. A general idea of why Sydney blushed like that dawned on him.His grandmother and Felicia must have teased her before he came here.If he had come a little earlier, he might have witnessed it.Julien felt a slight regret in his heart."Alright! Don
Chapter 1162 Communicating in Their Room"Nothing," Julien replied nonchalantly, but his gaze remained fixed on her chest.Sydney lost her temper.'That's brazen of you. Why don't you look away then?'Instead, you continue to look and lie through your teeth.'You're shameless or what?'"Julien!" Sydney raised her voice, shouting his name.He blinked. "What's wrong?"The corner of Sydney's mouth twitched.'You have the nerve to ask me?'"Take your eyes off me! What are you peeping at?" Sydney yelled, her face turning red.Julien's eyes flickered with amusement. "I'm not peeping.""Is that so? What are your eyes laid on then?" Sydney covered her chest more tightly.Julien smirked and said, "You're my woman, so it's normal for me to look at you. It's only called peeping when it comes to other women, alright?"Sydney was speechless, finding her voice again after a long time. She countered, "That's sophistry. You're twisting the facts."Julien chuckled, saying, "I can't help
Chapter 1163 CompromiseSydney's eyes flickered, and she gave no response. Julien nibbled on her earlobe. "Darling, it seems like you've thought it through."Sydney turned her head away, sulking, "So what? Even if Grandma doesn't mind, I can't do it with you.""Why?" Julien frowned at her.Sydney pursed her lips. "This is not my place, and it feels embarrassing."Julien saw it now.He chuckled. "How so? You will be the hostess of the Flint family and the next owner of the old residence. This is naturally your place, so don't worry. Do couples who live with their families have no sex?"The corner of Sydney's mouth twitched. "That's a different concept.""Not at all." Julien shook his head earnestly. "It's the truth."Sydney sneered. "You've said so much just because you want..."Julien chuckled nonchalantly. "So, are we doing it?""No..."Before she could finish her words, Julien pecked her on the lips.Sydney's eyes widened in astonishment.Julien caressed her cheek. "Gra
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
