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'
