Luke and the others came back from the race, and they were all drenched with sweat. However, their faces were filled with excitement and it was obvious that they enjoyed the game.“President Chase, here’s some water.” Sharon picked up two bottles of water and threw one of them to Luke.Luke took it. “Thanks.”“Where’s mine?” Hunter was upset when he saw that she only gave the water to Luke and not himself. “I brought you here. Why are you giving him water and not me?”Sharon rolled her eyes. “Take it!”She threw the other bottle over to him.Hunter smiled in satisfaction. He opened the bottle and took a big gulp, then poured the remaining water onto his head. “Feels great!”“Yup.” Luke shook the water from his head and agreed.On the other side, Lyra gave a bottle of water to Julien. “Julien, drink some water.”“Sure.” Julien took the bottle and twisted it open, but he did not drink and passed it back to her. “You drink some.”Lyra smiled at how considerate Julien was. “Thank
Suddenly, Luke’s face turned cold. He swept his eyes across the rest of them and settled on Lyra’s face. “I’ve asked the manager in the stable. Sydney’s horse is the most docile among them. According to him, it’s impossible for a horse to go crazy suddenly. I think someone must’ve deliberately caused this incident.”“President Chase, do you mean to say that someone manipulated Vice President Raines’ horse?” Sharon quickly got what he meant and asked with her eyes wide.“Not me.” Jayden was afraid that they might suspect him, so he shook his head and denied it.Hunter sipped on his tea calmly. “Not me either.”“Not me too,” Sharon said.Luke looked at the remaining two. “Then, there are only President Flint and Ms. Madden left. Since President Flint saved my darling, I don’t think it’s him. After all, I don’t think he’lll be so bored saving the person he tried to harm. So…”“So, are you suspecting me?” Lyra tightened her fist and looked as though she was about to cry.Luke clappe
Jayden lowered his head and looked as though he had received a hard blow.Luke sneered and looked at Julien. “President Flint, do you still want my apology?”Luke was implying that if Julien insisted on an apology further, then he would expose more of Lyra’s misdeeds.Julien understood the meaning behind his words and said nothing.Lyra was also afraid. She tugged on Julien’s shoulder and forced a smile. “It’s fine, Julien. Mr. Chase is right. I did so many bad things to Ms. Raines, so it’s fine if they don’t apologize.”Luke pursed his lips. “From the looks of it, you don’t need my apology anymore. I’ll be leaving, then. The atmosphere here is horrible.”After he said that, he fanned his hand and walked upstairs.Sharon yawned. “I’m tired from horse riding. I’m going back to my room.”“Since you’re all leaving, I better leave too,” Hunter said.Soon enough, only Julien, Jayden, and Lyra were left in the living room.Jayden looked at Julien, then looked at Lyra.In the end, he pulled J
“Stop shouting. The chef isn’t around,” Sharon came out of the kitchen as she replied.Hunter looked at her. “Where did the chef go?”“The chef went out for groceries in the afternoon and never came back. I called just now and found out that he got stuck on the way due to a landslide, so he won’t be here anytime soon.” Sharon shrugged.Jayden blinked. “What about dinner tonight?”“What else can we do? We have to settle it ourselves. I went to the kitchen and saw that the ingredients were all there.” Sharon pointed at the kitchen.Jayden wailed, “You mean we have to cook for ourselves?”“Otherwise?” Sharon rolled her eyes at him.Hunter asked, “Among us, does anyone know how to cook?”When he asked that, everyone remained silent.Everyone then shook their heads except Sydney.Indeed, everyone present was from rich families. They had maids and chefs from a young age, so why would they bother to learn how to cook?“It’s over. I don’t think we’ll have dinner tonight,” Hunter tou
Lyra was starving so badly that she could not take it any longer.The smell of food made her even hungrier.When Julien noted how uncomfortable Lyra seemed, he agreed in the end. “Let’s go.”“Okay.” Lyra smiled as she nodded.After taking a few steps, she stopped and turned around to look at Jayden. “Jayden, do you want to come along?”“No way,” Jayden replied in a cold tone.Lyra’s expression darkened and she lowered her head.Julien pursed his lips. “If you’re not coming to help, then there’s no dinner for you tonight.”After saying that, he pulled Lyra into the kitchen.Jayden felt so upset that he tugged on his hair. He wanted to say “So be it.”, but his stomach was growling and he could not bring himself to say that.In the end, Jayden followed them into the kitchen in desperation.The kitchen was huge, so all of them were inside without feeling cramped.When Julien, Jayden, and Lyra walked into the kitchen, Sydney was handling the pan like an actual chef.The dish in
Lyra did not expect him to mention her name, so she smiled politely and said, “I–”“Are you rejecting his cooking?” Luke cut her off mid-sentence.Lyra quickly shook her head and denied, “No.”“Then why aren’t you eating?” Luke asked.Sydney and the rest knew what he was trying to do — cause a rift between Julien and Lyra. That caught their interest, and they all put down their chopsticks to watch the show.“That’s right, Ms. Madden. If you are not rejecting his cooking, eat.” Hunter supported his head with one hand and said mockingly.Sharon, too, nodded and joined in. “President Flint personally made this. It’ll be rude not to eat it. Moreover, don’t you love him? If it’s true love, you should be supportive.”Jayden was just about to say something when he met Julien’s cold gaze and decided to shut his mouth.Sydney, on the other hand, drank her soup calmly without saying anything. If it were not for the playfulness in her eyes, it would seem as though she had nothing to do wi
“Of course not. You have food. Your brother made so many dishes, so go there and eat.” Luke rejected Jayden.Jayden glared at him. “I’m not asking you. Who do you think you are?”“I am Sydney’s boyfriend.” Luke put his arm around Sydney’s shoulder.Sydney did not push him away.When Luke saw that she was cooperating with him, he smiled even brighter. “Do you have a problem with that?”Jayden was so mad that his face flushed. However, he quickly turned his gaze back to Sydney and asked in a pleading tone, “Sydney… I’m famished. Just give me some food. Please!”He put both his palms together and made a pleading gesture. His expression looked especially pitiful.It reminded Sydney of the Golden Retriever she had long ago. When it wanted food, it would stand with its hind legs and come pleading with its front legs. It looked exactly like Jayden now.In the end, Sydney’s heart softened. She pointed at the empty seat and said, “Okay, you can join us.”“Yay! You’re the best, Sydney.”
Julien was not thirsty, but he somehow nodded anyway. "Pour me a glass." Sydney nodded and picked up another glass, which she filled with water and handed to him. "Thank you." Julien took it. "You're welcome." Sydney waved her hand and continued drinking her own. However, Julien just held the glass in his hand and stared at her without moving. After she was done, Sydney put down the cup. Just as she was about to ask Julien to send her back to her room, she heard someone's stomach grumbling. She looked toward the direction of the sound unconsciously to see it was Julien’s stomach.Julien did not expect his stomach to make such a sound at a time like that. For the first time, there was a trace of embarrassment on his usual cold and expressionless face. When Sydney saw it, she wanted to laugh out loud. After all, it was rare to see Julien like that. "I…" Julien swallowed hard and tried to speak. Sydney looked at him. "Is something wrong?" "Can you… cook something fo
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
