Jayden responded and hurriedly went to the first-floor lounge to open the door.After the door was opened, the group sneaked out while carrying Lyra.When they arrived at the equestrian park, Hunter and Luke tossed the sack to the ground.Sydney then went forward, unscrewed the water bottle, and poured the water on the sack.Inside the sack, Lyra felt the ice-cold water dripping from her head, and she shivered from the cold. It instantly woke her up.Only then did she realize she was in an extremely tiny space and could not see anything.She groped around, and when she felt the texture of the rough fabric on her body, she understood what was happening.She was stuffed into a sack!At that moment, Lyra was furious and struggled to get out of the sack. She gnashed her teeth and roared, "Jayden Flint, how dare you team up with Sydney and the others to mess with me?"She was not stupid. There were only a few people in the villa. Who else besides Sydney's group would put her in a s
While Julien could not tell whether Lyra's voice was reality or a dream, her voice rang out again. "Julien, open the door..."Upon hearing Lyra's cries, Julien came to his senses and confirmed that it was not a dream.He lifted the quilt and got out of bed. After turning on the light, he walked toward the door.As soon as Julien opened the door, he saw the woman with messy hair and clothes outside his room. For a moment, he was stunned. With a frown, he said, "Lyra?""Julien..." Lyra looked up at him with tears in her eyes.Julien's expression sank when he realized she had injuries on her face. "What happened?"When Lyra heard his question, her lips quivered in grievance, and she cried even louder. She was just about to jump into his arms, but Julien subconsciously took a step back to avoid her.Lyra pounced in on a space and stopped crying for a moment. Then, she looked at him begrudgingly. "Julien, did you just avoid me?""Ahem." Julien knew that his reaction just now hurt he
"Why not?" Lyra frowned.Sydney smiled. "First of all, Ms. Madden, you said that we beat you up, but did anyone see it?"Lyra froze and bit her lip. "No."There were only seven of them in the villa.Julien was sleeping in his room, and the chef and employees of the park did not live here. Sydney and the other four beat her up, so there was naturally no one else that saw it."Secondly, what did we use to hit you and where did we hit you?" Sydney continued to ask.Lyra clenched her fists. "You guys knocked me out and used a sack to bring me to the park. You punched and kicked me.""Oh? So what did we use to knock you out? Where's the sack now?" Sydney smiled at her.Lyra gritted her teeth. "It must be in your rooms. If it's not there, then it must be that you destroyed it.""In the end, you can't say how we knocked you out and where the sack is, right?" Sydney's eyes flickered. "Since you can't be sure, and no one saw us beating you up, that means we're being falsely accused by
What else could he do? He could only spoil his beloved person!After laughing for a while, Sydney took a long breath and finally stopped.Then, she took out a handkerchief from her pocket. "Here, wipe it off.""My hand is too dirty after changing the tire. You wipe it for me, Darling," Luke said with eyes full of expectation.Sydney rolled her eyes at him but raised her hand to wipe his face.Luke closed his eyes in enjoyment. "You're the best, Darling.""Enough already." Sydney was caught between laughter and tears at his appearance.Not far away, Julien saw this scene and his fists clenched at his sides. His expression became even more gloomy.Lyra sensed his strange reaction, and her eyes flashed full of jealousy and hatred."Julien, the relationship between Ms. Raines and Mr. Chase is really good," Lyra said with a smile.Julien withdrew his eyes and lowered them to cover the coldness in his eyes. Then, he said blandly, "Let's go."He was afraid that if he did not leave,
"Thank you for the compliment, President Dayton. People in high positions must be bold, otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to manage so many people under them. Don't you agree?" Sydney said with a polite smile.Stephen's expression was unpleasant, but he could not refute it and could only grit his teeth and reply, "You're right.""Since you agree, it seems I made the right call to fire those opportunists. After all, they already proved that they could defect to someone else. If we keep people like that in Skylight, they might turn their heads and betray Skylight another day. It's best to send them away early," Sydney smiled and added.The corners of Stephen's lips pulled. He was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, but his mouth continued to praise her. "Yes, you did a good job."'Good, my foot.'He spent so much money to get those people to defect to him. As a result, they were all driven away by Sydney. He did not get the people and the money he spent all went to waste. He was
Lyra pulled out Sydney's folder and flipped it open. Her face fell slightly when she saw the contents.Although she did not know anything about business, it did not mean that she could not understand the quality of a project.Sydney's proposal was a good one. It was much better than the one she handed over.It was hard to imagine that Sydney, who had only been in charge of Skylight for less than two months, could write such a good plan.'No, there's no way Sydney wrote this. She must’ve hired someone to write it for her. Yes, that must be it!'Lyra pressed down the jealousy in her heart and insisted that Sydney did not have this ability.However, no matter who wrote this plan, there was no denying that the possibility of this plan being favored by Julien was very high.Lyra could not accept the thought that Sydney might get a cooperative seat and her family might be brushed away."No..." Lyra bit her lower lip and an idea suddenly came to mind.She placed Sydney's proposal and
Sydney smiled mockingly before taking the key that Grandma had given her, trying it out door by door.Finally, she succeeded in opening the door of the utility room.Well, everything remotely valuable in the entire villa had been sold by her stepmother and sister, so it was obvious that there would not be anything in the rooms other than the utility room.When Sydney pushed open the door, a cloud of dust drifted to her face.She quickly covered her nose and mouth, stepping back while fanning the air in front of her with a hand.After fanning for a while, the dust in the air finally settled down, and Sydney lowered her hand from her nose and turned on the light."Geez!" She felt a headache when she saw the cobwebbed and messy utility room.How was she supposed to find the item among so many things?She was tempted to give up.However, in the end, Sydney still sighed and steeled herself, rummaging through the items. After all, she was already here. If she did not look for it thi
"Yes, it's almost identical," the manager looked at her hand which had turned red from Mrs. Madden's grip and replied with a forced smile.Mrs. Madden's eyes instantly reddened as tears flowed down. "It's Clarice, it's definitely Clarice. Clarice isn't dead. She's still alive! Manager, where’s that girl now?"She asked in a trembling voice.The manager replied, "She already left, but it hasn't been long. She might still be in the mall."As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Mrs. Madden rush out of the store without even taking her bag. Mrs. Madden looked all around the mall for a lady who would be around the same age as her eldest daughter.However, she searched the entire mall but could not find a girl who was wearing the daughter necklace and whose eyes resembled hers.Mrs. Madden returned to the DT store, disheartened.The manager brought a cup of hot water to her. "Did you find her, Mrs. Madden?"Mrs. Madden shook her head in dismay. "No.""Don't lose heart. Since she'
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
