Chapter 1185 Reward for YouWith this thought, Julien suddenly began to reflect on the things he had learned from those works.He glanced at Sydney, who blinked her eyes at him with a significant smile.After a moment, he cleared his throat and said, "Leaf, have I been unctuous, perplexing, and foolish with some of my actions?"He had often witnessed in movies and novels how the male protagonist's romantic gestures and words would deeply touch and enchant the female protagonist. And the female protagonist would also find such a man captivating.Although he had been curious back then about whether these actions were genuinely romantic and if the male protagonist was truly attractive, he couldn't find a definitive answer. Since the female protagonist was deeply moved, it must be true.As a result, he noted down these actions and lines from the male lead, made slight modifications, and tried them out on Sydney.Previously, he hadn't considered that these actions might confuse and r
Chapter 1186 Turn the TablesAfter all, she seldom took the initiative to engage in such intimate actions, and considering Julien's personality, he would surely ask for more.Now that she had kissed him, if she didn't make a swift exit, he would kiss her back after coming to his senses. In that case, it wouldn't be a mere peck on the cheek, but a deep kiss on the lips, and he wouldn't let her leave without fulfilling his desires.This was why she had to seize this opportunity and make a quick escape.Sydney swiftly opened the car door, got out and closed the door. The whole process was smooth and efficient, taking no more than a minute.She wasn't a quick-tempered person, so her amazing speed to finish all these actions showed how "terrified" she would be once Julien recovered his senses.After getting out of the car, Sydney looked inside through the car window. However, the window was tinted, and she couldn't catch a glimpse of Julien inside.Nevertheless, she waved to him
Chapter 1187 The James Family's HospitalTo appease Julien's anger, he apologized, "I'm sorry, sir. I didn't expect things to turn out this way. It wasn't intentional on my part."Regardless of whether it was his fault or not, he had to apologize and take the blame.Only by doing so could he dispel Julien's anger and prevent him from holding onto it.After all, no one understood Julien better at this stage than Zach.Sure enough, the situation unfolded just as he had expected.Julien softened his attitude, saying, "Don't come up with terrible ideas again, or there will be punishment.""Yes, sir, I promise," Zach replied with a flattering smile on his face, while groaning in his mind.It was not like he enjoyed coming up with ideas.It was Julien who asked him in the first place what actions could make a woman feel romantic, and he just suggested watching TV or reading novels.In short, he had never voluntarily acted as a counselor in Julien and Sydney's relationship.But now
Chapter 1188 The Bandit ManifestoJulien and Zach trailed a man to the exclusive floor of the inpatient building at the James Hospital.Once out of the elevator, the man halted. "Mr. Flint, I can't accompany you further. The person you seek is in that ward. You'll have to proceed alone.""Go ahead." Julien dismissed him with a wave of his hand.He understood why the man couldn't escort him further.Dallin was to remain in Port City for a while, and the man had to keep an eye on Dallin.If he led them to the ward, Dallin would see him.That way he wouldn't be able to watch Dalli again.That was why he couldn't continue to lead the way,"Well then, see you around, Mr. Flint." The man bowed before entering the elevator.Now that they had figured out Dallin's location, Zach took the lead, guiding Julien through the corridors.Upon reaching the door to Dallin's ward, he paused. "Mr. Flint, here we are."Julien didn't speak. He just narrowed his eyes and gazed at the closed door.
Chapter 1189 Distorting the TruthZach knew that Julien had lost his patience. Thus, he no longer bothered to play nice with Neil, and his face turned as cold as Julien's.Towering up in front of Neil, he pushed the man in the shoulder.Thinner and shorter than Zach, Neil couldn't resist him.Neil stumbled backward and crashed into the wall. The way into the ward was then cleared.Neil's collision with the wall was witnessed by the man on the bed. Shocked, Dallin called out, "What's going on?"Neil had gone to open the door.But after a long time, he didn't come back to report. Instead, he crashed into the wall. Dallin saw him wincing with an incredulous expression.Coupled with the action of clutching his shoulder, Dallin understood that Neil had been pushed by someone.He couldn't see and didn't know who it was.But he was certain that the visitor meant harm.Dallin was badly injured and couldn't move at all. Any movement would cause his wounds to ache and sweat to break o
Chapter 1190 Agreeing to Your TermsNeil, seeing his boss getting angry, had originally wanted to report that Zach deliberately tripped him.However, as he noticed the sullen gaze of his boss, he swallowed back his words.Dallin seemed to be displeased with him.'Why?'Neil didn't get it, nor did he dare to ask about it. Instead, he glared at Zach and slinked out while holding his head.When Dallin was angry, he didn't dare to act recklessly.After Neil left, Zach revealed a smug smile. Taking the chair, he brought it over to Julien and said, "Mr. Flint, please have a seat."Julien slightly raised his chin, slowly sat down, and elegantly crossed his legs."Mr. Sullivan, you asked me just now if I was responsible for your injuries. Now I can tell you the answer. It wasn't me," Julien said, looking at Dallin, who still had an ominous look on his face.Dallin turned to him. "It wasn't you? Do you think I'll believe that?"He sneered, adding, "You're my only rival in Port City.
Chapter 1191 The Enemy of My EnemyThe icy chill and lethal intent radiating from Julien's eyes sent a shiver down Dallin's spine. It was clear to him that Julien's threats were far from empty. Julien meant business. If he ever discovered that Dallin had lied to him, he wouldn't hesitate to take Dallin's life.Dallin was fearless in his youth.But as he aged and witnessed the mortality of those around him, his courage faded, replaced by a growing dread of death. With each passing year, his fear of death intensified. His elevated status only amplified this fear.Death would mean losing everything. He could no longer enjoy the benefits of his status as the head of the Sullivan family and his wealth. They would inevitably end up in the hands of his relatives.He couldn't bear the thought of such an outcome. He yearned to remain the head of the Sullivan family and to wield their wealth and influence until his dying day. He would not allow himself to die early.To quell his
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
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,
