Lyra's heart sank. She suddenly noticed that she had overreacted, and it aroused Julien's suspicion. She clenched her fist and quickly adjusted herself. She then shook her head and replied, "No, I'm not afraid. Just worried." "What are you worried about?" Julien looked at her.Lyra made a melancholic expression. "I'm worried that the doctor might lock me up. Based on some TV series that I've watched, the doctors will always lock people with dissociative personality disorders up in an institute. Julien, will I also end up like that? Will you lock me up?" She tugged on Julien's sleeve. Julien's doubts vanished in an instant. He touched her head gently. "No. All the TV series are fake. The psychiatrist will help you." "Really?" Lyra looked at him with some worry left in her eyes. Julien nodded. "Really. Don't worry." "Since you say that, then I don't have anything to worry about anymore. Julien, I need to use the washroom." Lyra let go of Julien's sleeve and smiled reassuring
It was surprising that the Trison Corporation decided to look for the necklace when Sydney just got hold of it. Moreover, the statement specifically looked for a girl with a special necklace. In other words, the Maddens wanted to look for the girl and not the necklace. "Find out why the Maddens want to look for a girl with the special necklace," Julian said with his hand on the armrest. The Maddens were looking for Sydney. Just that the Maddens did not know it yet. "Yes." Zach nodded. Julien lowered his head and took out his phone. After a short moment of hesitation, he made a call. Skylight Corporation. Sydney was in the middle of making edits on a difficult document. Just as she finally got an idea, her phone rang and interrupted her train of thoughts. Sydney picked up the phone and placed it next to her ear without looking at the caller ID. "Yes?" Julien was silent when he heard the impatience in Sydney's voice. She did not even like picking up his call? "If y
Sophie answered Sydney, "President Dayton and Director Williams aren’t here yet." "Okay." Sydney nodded. After a short while, the door of the conference room opened and Stephen Dayton walked in with Director Williams. Sydney met Stephen's eyes. "President Dayton, you’re late." Stephen nonchalantly pulled a chair and sat down. "Something came up. You’re not angry with me, are you?" Sydney smiled. "Of course, not." She knew that Stephen was late on purpose. He wanted to show his authority to her. Sydney decided to just let him be for now since the news she was going to announce would probably get him upset later. "Since everyone is here, then we’ll start the meeting now. The last time…" Before Sydney could finish her sentence, Stephen interrupted her. "Today is the day Flint Corporation announced their final decision on the main cooperation partner. Tell us about the results." "Exactly, Vice President Raines. Tell us, did you get it?" another senior director on Stephe
Julien narrowed his eyes. As expected…"Do you know how Brandon Madden found out that his eldest daughter might still be alive?" Julien asked Zach. Zach pushed on his glasses. "Yes. Mrs. Madden visited the Downtown Jewelry Shop and the manager mentioned that a girl came by with a mother-daughter necklace. Mrs. Madden made the assumption that the girl could be her eldest daughter." So, that was what happened. Sydney told him before that she went to the Downtown Jewelry Shop to ask about the necklace. Mrs. Madden had long been wearing jewelry from the Downtown Jewelry Shop. Due to her status, the manager of the shop would always personally attend to her. When the manager saw a similar necklace on Mrs. Madden, she told her about Sydney, who came to the shop and asked about the necklace as well. However, the manager did not tell Mrs. Madden who the girl was and naturally did not mention Sydney's name. Therefore, Mrs. Madden did not know that the one who had her daughter's neck
When Hunter saw that Sydney took the flowers, he let out a breath of relief. He then laughed nonchalantly and said, “Other girls can never compare to you. Since we’re partners now, I have to put in some effort to maintain our relationship. Flowers are a must.” Sydney smiled. “You do know how to sweet talk. The flowers are beautiful, thank you.”She looked at the white roses in her arms. Hunter pulled a chair and sat down. “I’m glad you like them.” “What are you ordering?” Sydney put down the flowers and handed him the menu. Hunter took the menu and ordered a Blue Mountain Coffee. Sydney ordered a glass of milk. Very quickly, the waiter delivered their drinks. Hunter looked at the milk in Sydney’s hands and thought about her pregnancy. He hesitated before asking, “How are you?” “Huh?” Sydney looked at him. “What are you talking about?” “Your pregnancy. I heard that the initial period is the hardest. Are you having a hard time?” Hunter asked. Sydney could tell that
When Sydney heard his questioning, her face hardened and she stared at him coldly. “President Flint, what does this have to do with you? Who are you to me? Why do you care?” “She’s right, Julien. You care too much.” Hunter looked at Julien with a half-smile. Julien pursed his lips. “Hunter, don’t you know that she has a boyfriend?” “I know.” Hunter shrugged. Julien narrowed his eyes. “You know and you still…” “Who said that we must be dating when we hang out?” Hunter shrugged and looked at Lyra condescendingly. “Oh right. You said it.” “I said it, but Mr. Cohen admitted it as well.” Lyra tightened her arms around Julien’s. Hunter smiled. “I admit it, but a date can have many types. Who said that Sydney and I must be dating like you both are? Can’t we just be on a date to discuss some matters?” Lyra choked on her words. “What about the flowers? Why would you have flowers if you’re just here to discuss some matters?” “What’s wrong with the flowers? They aren’t red roses
Very quickly, the joy in Julien’s heart was crushed by Hunter’s following words. Hunter crossed his arms. “I’m planning to pursue Sydney. What do you think, Julien?” Julien’s face darkened. What did he think? He did not feel great at all. However, Julien would never say it out loud. He lowered his gaze and said, “Go ahead if you want to. Why are you asking me?” Hunter saw right through Julien. He saw how Julien wanted to stop him but was suppressing himself. Something flashed across Hunter’s eyes. “Of course, I need to let you know first.” “Let me know?” Julien pursed his lips. Hunter nodded. “Yes. No matter what, Sydney is your ex-wife. I’ll have to let you know. If we get together someday, at least you won’t be too surprised.” Julien snorted. “Why are you so sure that you both will be together?” “Hard work will always pay off. I'm sure that if I put in enough effort, I’ll move Sydney’s heart and she’ll say yes. If that happens, will you give us your blessing?” Hun
In the past, Sydney was the one who watched him leave. He knew she was watching, yet he never once turned around and looked back. Now, it was his turn to watch her leave. It turned out that watching someone walk away from you without looking back was such an uncomfortable feeling. Julien lowered his head and touched his chest. It was bitter, and there was also a dull ache. In the car park. Sydney and Luke came to the car. Luke opened the car door for her. “Darling, do you think Julien Flint has a problem? Why must he drop by personally to apologize?” “Who knows?” Sydney shrugged and got into the car. She was notably unconcerned. Luke got into the car as well. “I really can’t figure him out.” Sydney smiled. “If you figured him out, then you’ll probably be as successful as he is today. Let’s go, your mum might call and rush us soon.” “I got it.” Luke nodded and started the engine. On their way, Sydney’s phone rang. She opened her eyes and glanced at her phone. A s
