Chapter 17 Banquet

Meanwhile, in Flint Mansion, Julien stared at the trending topic being promoted with a deep frown on his forehead.

Zack stood next to him in trepidation. “Sir, I didn’t do that. Someone must have deliberately spread it. Should I get someone to suppress the topic?”

“No need.” Julien pursed his lips. An indecipherable emotion flickered in his eyes. “It was probably done by the Madden family.”

Zack immediately understood.

The Madden family deliberately exposed the video to suppress Sydney. If Julien helped to suppress the topic, the Madden family would be unhappy, and he did not want to offend his future father-in-law because of Sydney.

“Then, about this...”

“Ignore it.” Julien turned his phone off and raised his head to ask, “Has the Azure Heart arrived?”

Zack nodded. “It arrived yesterday. It has been engraved with Ms. Madden’s initials as per your instructions.”

“Alright. You can go out now.”

Julien lowered his head and massaged his temples. His eyes skimmed over the divorce certificate inside the trash can, and his head hurt even more.

......

Trison Corporation enjoyed a great reputation in Port City. All the people invited to the Madden family's banquet held for their daughter were those from the upper class. Naturally, many of them were there to take the opportunity to build connections.

Brandon Madden and his wife wandered in the crowd, smiling.

He was an elegant middle-aged man with a goatee, and his wife had a cool and imposing face, typical of an upper-class lady.

The piano slowly sounded.

The crowd looked over and saw Lyra dressed in a green dress. She looked elegant and refined as she sat by the piano, playing gracefully and calmly. She looked like she was shining as she attracted the attention of everyone present.

After the song, Julien came over from the crowd and took Lyra’s hand. It was not an exaggeration to say they were a golden couple.

Brandon was all smiles. “I’d like to thank everyone for attending the Madden family’s banquet. Today, in addition to celebrating my daughter’s recovery, we have another important announcement.”

His eyes swept through the crowd and finally landed on Julien. “I hereby announce that Julien Flint, the president of Flint Corporation, will be my son-in-law.”

As soon as he said those words, the venue roared.

Everyone knew about Julien’s divorce since news about it was sensationalized, and now, he had become the son-in-law of the Madden family. However, they then thought about the video in yesterday’s trending topics.

They could not help but sigh.

It was really important for families to be well-matched when it came to marriage.

Julien was handsome in appearance and distinguished in bearing. Standing with Lyra, who was also gentle and beautiful, they looked like the perfect couple.

He took out a golden brocade box, opened it, and knelt in front of Lyra on one knee.

It was clear that he was proposing.

Surprise filled Lyra’s face, and she covered her mouth in disbelief.

At that moment, the man spoke, “Lyra Madden, will you...”

Suddenly, an untimely laugh interrupted Julien.

“Sorry for being late, everyone.”

That voice...

A mix of emotions flashed on Julien’s face as he turned his head to look over.

The enchanting and charming Sydney slowly appeared, followed by Luke and Cayden.

Everyone was shocked when they saw her.

They all knew that she was Julien’s ex-wife.

The fact that she showed up at such a critical moment was...

When Velma saw her son being interrupted, she suddenly jumped out and pointed at Sydney, screaming, “Who let you in? Get out!”

Luke crossed his arms around his chest. “We’re here to attend Ms. Madden’s banquet.”

“You...”

Brandon stopped Velma, who was about to say something, and looked at Sydney.

He was an old and sly person, so he naturally would not be impulsive. However, his smile was clearly much colder than before. “Although I didn’t send you an invitation, those who come are guests. The Madden family welcomes you.”

“She’s the one who caused my daughter’s accident?”

At first glance at Sydney, Mrs. Madden felt that Sydney gave her a strange feeling. However, she could not pinpoint what it was.

Then, she remembered that the woman almost killed Lyra.

Mrs. Madden’s face turned cold, and she said impolitely, “Ms. Raines, I still haven’t settled the account with you six years ago. How dare you show up in my house?”

    Everyone looked as if they were watching a show, but Sydney ignored them.She gave a vague smile and glanced at Julien, who was kneeling on one knee. Then, she turned to Mrs. Madden and said languidly, “First of all, I’m very sorry that I came uninvited. Second, who can be sure that the video on the trending topics is real? To say you want to settle the account six years ago, I feel really wronged.”Finally, her eyes fell on Lyra.Lyra went pale and quickly hid behind Julien.When the crowd saw that scene, they all criticized Sydney.“This woman has a lot of nerve. She was the one who hit Ms. Madden six years ago, and yet she still has the guts to come to the banquet?”“Yeah, look at how scared Ms. Madden is. It’s too much.”Seeing how frightened her daughter was, Mrs. Madden was not in the mood to fool around with Sydney. “What a sharp-tongued girl. Since you say you’ve been wronged, why don’t you go and explain it to the police?”She was just about to make a call when Julien

    At Luke’s words, gasps sounded from the guests. All eyes turned to Lyra and then to Sydney in shock.The video had been confirmed by an expert to be genuine. If Luke’s words were also true...Julien was equally shocked.He looked at the woman standing in front of him, and his eyes darkened. It was only after a moment did he speak. “Why didn’t you tell me, Sydney?”“Would you have believed me if I told you?” Sydney retorted in a mocking tone. “Mr. Flint, we were married for six years, but I can count on one hand the total amount of conversations we had. You only have Ms. Madden in your eyes. You don’t care about anyone else.”She used to go to the hospital every day to donate blood to Lyra. She knew how her marriage with Julien came about, and she knew who the person in his heart was. She tried to take care of Lyra so that Julien would look at her more.However, for six years, the only thing she got from Julien was indifference.At those words, Julien re-examined the woman in the

    “Ms. Raines, don’t go too far.” Lyra was exasperated, but she had to endure it. “My father has apologized to you about the video. Why can’t you just drop it? Now you want to take the necklace my boyfriend is proposing to me with?”Sydney raised her brows and laughed. “It’s only been a few days since I divorced Mr. Flint, and you’re already with him. If I didn’t know, I might think that you’ve always coveted him and can’t wait to be Mrs. Flint!”“What are you talking about? You clearly–”“Also, Ms. Madden, I don’t plan to take anything.” Sydney interrupted Lyra again before she could say a few words. “It is you who insisted on giving me a thank-you gift. I just took a fancy to this Azure Heart.”Choked speechless, Lyra bit her lip and stood there, her face growing paler and paler. She looked like a withering small, white flower.Luke was particularly satisfied at the scene and almost applauded Sydney.“Say something, Mr. Flint. Don’t just keep silent.” Luke shouted at Julien, “Is

    “Darling, stop looking at him. Can’t you look at me instead?” Luke tried to pull Sydney’s gaze back from the window. “I’m way more handsome than Cayden, okay? Unless you prefer virgins like him?”Sydney was both angry and amused at the fact that her thoughts were interrupted, and she rolled her eyes at him. “I’ve always thought you were a narcissist since we were kids, but I didn’t think you’d become crazier when you grow up.”“I’m just aware of my own handsomeness!” Luke chuckled. “I’m serious. Just marry me, Darling. The Azure Heart is nothing special. I’ll find a one-of-a-kind diamond ring and propose to you!”Sydney and Luke grew up together. They often visited each other’s houses and were as close as could be, so she knew that Luke was just trying to cheer her up because he realized that she was unhappy.However, his words did indeed lift her mood, and she remembered what she neglected in the past.Sydney opened her bag and pulled out a ring from one of the compartments.

    “The mango juice is very sweet.” Lyra smiled sweetly at Julien and put the cup on the table. “Thank you for remembering what I like.”Julien smiled faintly. “I remember everything you like. There’s a fruit farm with good fruit. I’ll get the boss to send two boxes of mangoes to your house tomorrow. But if you’d like other fruits, you can let me know too.”“Mmhm.” Lyra forced herself to answer.Then, she started to feel uncomfortable and pushed her chair away to stand up. Her face grew paler and paler. “I’m going to the bathroom, Julien. You can stay and chat with my dad.”She lifted her skirt and walked away as fast as she could.Lyra had always been allergic to mangoes. The allergy was so serious that just a small amount would be enough to kill her. Before she could reach the washroom, she felt her airways block up, and her feet stumbled; she almost fell.“Lyra, Lyra!” Mrs. Madden rushed over and quickly held her daughter.Seeing how uncomfortable Lyra looked, Mrs. Madden became

    Sydney was in a bad mood after coming back last night and drank until it was midnight. She had not fallen asleep for long before she was awakened by her phone ringing.She paused, touched her phone from the bedside table, and answered it. “Hello?”“Ms. Raines, I’m Sean Tillman.”Sydney became much more clear-headed when she heard the name and quickly remembered.The person was Luke’s secretary. Luke was worried that she had no one of her own after she joined Skylight, so he gave her his secretary.“What is it?” Sydney asked while walking towards the bathroom.Sean said, “The director has left on a business trip, and there are some urgent documents in the office that need you to handle. What time will you be coming in?”Sydney guessed that the matter was urgent, so she looked at the time on her phone. “Around 8:30 a.m.”“Understood.”After hanging up the phone, Sydney washed her face with cold water and felt much better. However, she had drunk too much wine last night, so her h

    As Sydney drove to Red Plum Resort, it suddenly began to rain, and the rain got heavier and heavier.There was no space in the underground garage when she arrived at Red Plum Resort, so she could only park in the open-air parking lot. When she wanted to get off, she realized that there was no umbrella in the car. Hence, she had to hold her bag over her head and run into the rain while gritting her teeth.Although the path was close to the lobby, Sydney was still drenched because of the heavy rain. She shivered all when the cold wind blew.Upon seeing Sydney, the waiter immediately gave her a towel.“Thanks.” Sydney took the towel and dried her hair while talking to the waiter. “Today is Friday, so business should be good, right? Are President Smith and the others playing cards in their usual room?”At that, the waiter assumed that she was President Smith’s friend and said, “Yes, Room 1103 is always reserved for President Smith.”Having successfully fished for the information, Syd

    President Flint?Sydney looked at the door of the private room just in time to meet Julien’s cold eyes. In just one second, she looked away and let go of the teapot in her hand.“President Flint, what brings you here?” President Miles, who was sitting beside Sydney, stood up and said politely.The men in the room were all one or even two generations older than Julien. However, all of them knew Julien’s skills in the business world.Furthermore, Flint Corporation was in its heyday, so they did not dare to argue blatantly with Julien.Julien glanced at Sydney, walked in, and said in a low voice, “I heard that President Smith was playing cards here, so I came to say hello.”“It’s Friday. Since there’s nothing to do, I thought I’ll come over to play some cards.” The arrogance President Smith had in front of Sydney disappeared. At that moment, he said to Julien with a smile. “Ms. Raines just happened to look for me to talk about the order too, so she played a few rounds with us.” Pr

    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

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

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,

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
