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 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
Port City’s December was colder than previous years.Sydney Raines nestled on the sofa expressionlessly, listening to the shouting and scolding of her mother-in-law, Velma, downstairs.“Sydney, never mind the fact that you can’t even give birth to a child, what time is it now? Why aren’t you cooking? Are you trying to starve Jay and me?”In the six years that she had been married to Julien Flint, her mother-in-law had been scolding her behind her back for being a hen who laid no eggs.However, no one knew that her husband had never touched her at all.“Hurry up and pack my bag! I have to go to school!” a teenager urged.Jayden Flint was Julien’s younger brother. He was simply a little tyrant who tormented Sydney endlessly.In his opinion, this sister-in-law his brother married was easier to knead than dough.Sydney went downstairs and mechanically went to the kitchen to cook before she packed Jayden’s bag and lunchbox.“Mom, food’s ready!”Velma’s temper rose when she saw the
When the doctor concluded that Lyra would never wake up, Julien agreed to Sydney.However, Julien had always been cold to her.Sydney lifted her chin and looked straight at him without flinching. “I’m your wife. Why should I move out because she’s coming back?”Julien suddenly looked at her. His expression sank slowly, and the depths in his eyes became more frightening. “Why? Because according to Lyra, it was you who hit her with your car six years ago!”Sydney was flabbergasted for a moment before she laughed bitterly. “Would you believe me if I said I didn’t?”Julien approached her step by step, forcing her into the corner. Then, he said with a cold voice, “Do you think I’ll believe you?”The man kept staring at her with his dark eyes.His gaze was suddenly filled with disgust and hatred!“You’re an incorrigible woman. I want nothing more than to make you pay back a thousand times of what Lyra suffered!” Julien’s face was cold.Sydney was shocked by the ruthlessness in the m
Luke Chase was her childhood friend, a typical rich kid.Luke probed. “Are you really sure?”“I’ve never been surer.” There has been a smile on the corners of Sydney’s mouth ever since she came out.She had always been sophisticated and beautiful. That smile seemed to have dispelled the years of gloom and made her look brighter.Luke sighed. “I thought you’d never get over him. I’ve been worried about you for the past six years. How the hell did you fall in love with that scumbag?”Sydney nodded. “Yes. Why was I so stupid?”“Fortunately, you didn’t wake up too late. You’d be old and faded if you took another six years.” Luke laughed and continued, “I used to think that if you got old and were kicked out, I could marry you reluctantly since we’re childhood friends.”Sydney rolled her eyes at him. “Don’t jinx it.”“By the way, this is the divorce agreement you asked me to prepare. Take a look.”Sydney casually flipped through the documents after receiving them. “I won’t take any
Back in the car, she returned to the elegant and confident Sydney Raines again.Luke chuckled. “There are some good-looking ones in The Little Treasury today. Do you want to go have a look?”The Little Treasury was a place for people to splurge on entertainment.Sydney was speechless. “Dude, are you serious? I just got back to being single.”Luke winked and pretended to be mysterious. “Actually, there’s someone who wants to meet you.”“Who?”“You know him. You’ll find out when you get there.”Sydney pondered for a moment before she nodded. “Fine.”Luke had an exclusive room in The Little Treasury. As the two walked in, the man on the sofa stood up and looked over.He was in his early twenties, was extremely tall, and had an angular face with sharp eyes. When he saw her, a glint flashed at the bottom of his eyes.“Hey, we meet again.”The young man in front of Sydney seemed familiar, but she could not recall where she had seen him before.“Have you forgotten? Six years ago,
After saying goodbye to Luke and Cayden, Sydney returned to her father’s old residence.The house was dusty and had not been cleaned in a long time.Hence, Sydney put on her apron and started to clean up.From under the sofa, she found her wedding photo with Julien. In the photo, she was smiling like a flower, while Julien stood beside her with a cold face and visible impatience between his brows.Next to it were the notes she had written.The diary recorded what the man liked to eat, the things he used, his hobbies, and so on.All her thoughts were focused on Julien. She had tried hard to keep up the hard-won marriage, but reality gave her a resounding slap on the face.Sourness built up in her eyes. Nevertheless, Sydney looked up and forced herself to swallow her tears.The chime of a text message interrupted her. She took a look and saw that it was from Cayden.[Sydney, you helped me six years ago, so it’s time for me to help you six years later. Don’t worry and just do wha
“I think his name was Cayden Lowe. That annoying jerk Luke Chase was also beside her.”“What? How dare she have an affair!” Velma’s face turned dark with anger, and she cursed sharply. “She’s shameless! Where is she now? I’ll rip her apart!”“Sydney said she already divorced Julien.” Seeing the terrifying gloom on his brother’s face, Jay asked again, “Is what she said true?”Julien kept his lips pursed, his face sullen, and remained silent. It was clearly a tacit agreement.Having thought of something, Velma froze for a while before she smiled. “It’s great that you guys are divorced! At least she’s sensible! I’ll only acknowledge Lyra as my daughter-in-law. Sydney is worth nothing!”For some reason, Velma’s curses sounded extremely harsh to Julien. “That’s enough.”He picked up his coat and left the house.Jayden stared at his elder brother’s back. “Mom, is Sydney never coming back?”Velma snorted. “I dare her! Even if she wants a divorce, she won’t get a penny from my son!”J

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
