Chapter 1175 A Heartfelt GratitudeThe Old Madam's body stiffened as she responded with an awkward smile, "I'm good. It's merely a bout of dizziness. I just need to take a nap. It's not the first time. There's no need to go through the fuss of calling a doctor."'No kidding. A doctor would find I was lying,' she thought.With a sneer, Julien approached and stopped behind the two old ladies. "How so? The doctor is on our payroll here. If a few minutes of travel is considered trouble, then we're paying him for nothing. Since we employ him, he is obliged to attend to his employer at any time, any place, and under any circumstances. Otherwise, it's negligence on his part, and I have every right to dismiss him. Is that what you're suggesting, Grandma?""I...""I heard that our family doctor is a close relative of Felicia." Aware of what his grandmother was going to say, Julien interrupted her and turned to look at Felicia.Julien's piercing gaze made Felicia feel guilty, and she bowed
Chapter 1176 Hilarious'Why don't I accept it?'We are genuinely concerned about Julien.'Although he may not like the way we care about him, our care is sincere and pure.'So he should thank us, shouldn't he?'Then naturally, we can accept his thanks.'Of course, I can accept it.'The Old Madam thought confidently.Felicia, however, looked at her with uneasiness as if asking, "Old Madam, Mr. Julien's thanks are not sincere at all. Don't you see that?"Who would say thank you through clenched teeth?Just now, Julien's thanks were a deliberate mockery.The Old Madam winked at Felicia and replied, "It doesn't matter if it's sincere or not. The important thing is that he thanked us, so we should accept it. Just take it as sincere gratitude.""Uh..." Felicia ran out of words and could only give Julien an awkward smile.Julien watched the interaction between the two old ladies and understood what they were discussing.Honestly, he was a little stunned at how thick-skinned his
Chapter 1177 Sharing StenchJulien's gaze made her scalp tingle, and she touched the tip of her nose. "Are you afraid I'll share this embarrassing moment with others? Don't worry, I won't. This is our secret. After all, you're my man. If people laugh at you, I'll be embarrassed too. So rest assured, I won't breathe a word."Julien remained silent.Sydney blinked, struggling to decipher his thoughts. "Still not satisfied? What do you want, then? I know that drinking that soup was hard for you and that it left a trauma. But it's not a big deal, and it's not like you wanted to drink it. You were just tricked by Grandma and Felicia. Try to let it go. You'll forget about it soon... Mm..."Before she could finish, Julien stepped forward abruptly, pulling her into his arms. He lowered his head and claimed her lips, silencing her chatter.Sydney froze, wide-eyed and motionless. She hadn't expected him to kiss her so suddenly.It wasn't until the man pried open her mouth and stuck his ton
Chapter 1178 Sydney Was JealousJulien had been following behind at a distance from Sydney for a while.Sydney looked back at Julien to see what he was doing.Seeing Julien walking leisurely behind, Sydney was pissed off.Julien was walking so slowly, as if he was sightseeing.'Is he trying to catch up to me? If he really wanted to catch up with me, he would have made it a long time ago. But he seems to be enjoying himself! He isn’t going to apologize to me! Bastard!' Sydney stomped her foot in anger.Actually, Sydney deliberately slowed down her pace to let Julien catch up with her.'I thought he was going to apologize to me. Guess I was mistaken. I won't give him the chance.'Then Sydney turned back and sped up her pace.Noticing Sydney's speeding up, Julien wondered what she was up to.He thought for a while but couldn't figure it out, so he gave up and sped up to catch up with her.Finally, he caught up with Sydney, but Sydney looked angry.'I gave him a chance to catch
Chapter 1179 Dallin's MishapOld Madam had merely suggested that he should seize the moment and soothe Sydney.She had thought that, at most, he would appease Sydney with honeyed words.But her grandson surpassed her expectations and embraced Sydney outright.This action was far more potent than any honeyed words.She realized then that her thinking was still rooted in the old ways.But it didn't matter, as long as her grandson was not bound by such conservatism.Old Madam watched the couple in their embrace, her face breaking into a grin.Felicia, though clueless about the reason behind Old Madam's mirth, mirrored her joy and felt a sense of relief.Across from them, Sydney finally came to her senses, trying to push him away.Her effort was feeble, nowhere near the force Julien had used when he had kissed her earlier.With Old Madam and Felicia present, she was too mortified to exert any real strength against Julien.All she could do was pat his back, signaling him to rele
Chapter 1180 Taking It Out for YouBefore Julien could articulate a response, Sydney's hand shot up. "I want to see them."She was eager to witness the ordeal Dallin had endured at the hands of Luke's friends.Julien cast a glance at the eager woman beside him and acquiesced with a slight nod. "Show us then.""Okay." Zach reached into his suit pocket, fished out his phone, and swiftly navigated to the desired images. He then extended the device toward Sydney and Julien.They leaned in for a closer look.Sydney's eyes fell upon the photos displayed on Zach's phone.The image quality was less than ideal due to enlargement and some frame blur, but it was sufficient for viewing.The photo depicted Dallin leaning against a crumbling wall. His face was marred by bruises and cuts, and blood trickled from his nose and mouth. One eye was swollen shut, while the other stared out defiantly.His hair was disheveled, a stark contrast to his usually immaculate appearance.It was a mess, an
Chapter 1181 Just Want to Teach Him a LessonHe now realized that her act of venting anger on his behalf was not motivated by Dallin's actions of killing his father, betraying his mother, and leaving him without parents, for it was no longer a small grudge that could be resolved with a beating, but a deep-seated hatred that involved life and death.She wouldn't have helped him vent his anger without knowing that. Therefore, her offer to help him vent was related to something else, something much smaller in comparison to the previous two incidents.Sydney tucked her hair behind her ear and glanced at Zach. "Do you remember our conversation yesterday morning when I mentioned that we should have a discussion last night?"Julien nodded. "Yes, I remember."Sydney sighed. "But we spent last night at the old residence, and..."At this point, she suddenly realized something and happened to see the gossiping look on Zach's face. Blushing, she quickly glossed over this part by saying, "So
Chapter 1182When Sydney said "lame move", she accentuated her tone and cast a nonchalant glance at Zach.Hearing Sydney's words, Zach immediately became nervous. He gave a bitter smile. "Ms. Raines, it's my fault. I shouldn't have said that. I don't know if you arranged that. If I had known it was you, I wouldn't have said that.”Zach was surprised that Sydney cared so much about his remark, and she remembered what he said.Zach had said that it was a lame move to cap Dallin with a sack and beat him, but he later said it was brilliant practice and that it taught Dall a lesson.‘Ms. Raines didn't remember what I said later. She only remembered me saying it was a lame move. She just repeated what I said to mock me... Since Ms. Raines got back with Mr. Flint, she became more and more like him. She's critical of me right now. Mr. Flint is to blame!’Seeing the wry smile on Zach's face, Sydney chuckled, "Zach, I'm just kidding. Take it easy.”Zach looked up at the sky.'Ms. Raines,
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
