Sure enough, when Julien saw that Lyra came back, he waved at her and said, “Lyra, come here. This is Dr. Imanov, the internationally renowned professor in psychiatry.” Lyra forced her smile and walked over stiffly. Dr. Imanov looked at her and stretched out his hand. He then said, “Hi, Ms. Madden. Dr. Finn told me about you. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of you and not let you down.” After that, he winked at her. Lyra suddenly understood. Finn managed to bribe this old man and he was now on her side. He clearly said that he would not let her down. This meant that even if her acting was bad, he would still go along with her and give her a diagnosis. When she thought about that, all her worry and anxiety from before disappeared. She suddenly became more relaxed and reached out to shake Dr. Imanov’s hand. “Okay. I’ll thank you in advance.” “You’re welcome. Please sit, Ms. Madden.” Dr. Imanov withdrew his hand and gestured for her to take a seat. Julien pulled Lyra’
“She did.” Julien nodded. Something flashed across Lyra’s eyes. “Then… how is she like?” Julien frowned and said nothing. When Lyra saw that, she made an uneasy expression. “Julien, is she horrible?” “It’s fine, Lyra. Don’t overthink it.” Julien touched her hair and added, “Dr. Imanov will get you better and eliminate the alternate personality.” “Eliminate?” Lyra was shocked. She covered her mouth and asked, “Why eliminate? Didn’t we agree on merging?” “No, we can’t merge your personalities. Your alternate personality is too malicious. I’m worried that it might affect your personality as well,” Julien said heavily. Lyra nodded. “I see. I understand, then.” She lowered her head and clenched her fists. Julien thought of her true personality as malicious. “Dr. Imanov.” Julien did not realize Lyra’s change in behavior and turned around to face Dr. Imanov. “Yes, President Flint?” Dr. Imanov pushed his glasses. Julien said, “For Lyra’s treatment, please make a schedul
Sure enough, it was obvious who was at fault that night. Julien must be held responsible somehow, and why would Sydney bear it alone? As he thought about it, Hunter gave Julien a call. Julien was driving Lyra back home. When his phone rang, he answered via the Bluetooth earphone, “Yes?” “It’s me,” Hunter said loudly. Julien frowned. “What is it?” Just as Hunter wanted to say something, he suddenly heard Lyra’s voice, “Julien, who is it?” “Julien Flint, is Lyra next to you?” Hunter asked with a gloomy expression. Julien gave Lura a sideways glance and muttered a yes. “Fine. I’ll talk to you later. Call me back when Lyra isn’t around.” After saying that, Hunter hung up. Julien narrowed his eyes. Since Hunter called so suddenly, it must be something urgent. Yet he wanted to avoid Lyra. The thing he wanted to talk about must be related to Sydney. “Julien, who was it?” When Lyra saw that Julien was silent, she asked once more in curiosity.Julien blinked and s
Sophie nodded. “Yes.” Sydney rubbed her temples. “I need to think about what to donate.” “President Raines, you don’t have to think too hard about it. For auctions like these, people normally donate jewelry or antiques,” Sophie suggested. Sydney smiled. “I see. In that case, I’ll donate some jewelry. Do you have time tomorrow? Can you come with me to get a gown?” Since it was the weekend tomorrow, Sydney did not have to work and felt that it would be a good time to shop for a gown. Sophie shook her head apologetically. “Sorry, Presiden Raines. My mother has set me up on a blind date tomorrow.”Sophie had a bitter smile on her face. She obviously did not want to go on a blind date. Sydney saw through her and said, “Should I tell your mother that you have to work overtime tomorrow?” “No way. I have been using this as an excuse to reject her a few times now. My mother told me that if I continue working overtime, I should just quit my job, so I have to go for the one tomor
Before Sydney took it, Lyra went over and snatched it from Sharon. “I want this as well.” Sydney pursed her lips. Sharon was fuming in anger. Her hands were on her waist as she glared at Lyra and said, “Are you doing this on purpose? You already took one, and here you are again?” Lyra hung the gown she just snatched from Sharon’s hand over her arm. “That’s right. I am doing this on purpose. You said something was wrong with the last dress. In that case, point out something wrong with this dress. Let’s see how many dresses you can find fault with.” “You…” “It’s fine, Sharon. Let her be.” Sydney pulled on Sharon, who was about to lose it. She then threw a glance at Lyra and walked towards the other side. Sharon was unwilling and said, “President Raines, are you just going to let her be?” “Of course not. You will see what happens later,” Sydney answered in a low voice. After that, she picked the most expensive gown on the rack in front. Sharon did not know what Sydney was
Julien was not worried about the money but that Lyra might have gotten scammed. “Zach,” Julien called his assistant into the office. When Zach came in, he stood in front of Julien’s desk. “President Flint, do you have any orders?” “Find out where Lyra went today and what she bought.” Julien rubbed his temples. “Yes,” Zach answered and then left. Very quickly, he came back with what he found. “President Flint, Ms. Madden went to the mall and bought 20 gowns.” “What? 20?” Julien’s eyes twitched. He knew that Lyra went to buy a gown today, but why did she buy so many? “Yes. 20.” Zach pushed his glasses and confirmed it. He was equally surprised when someone else told him about it. Julien pursed his lips. “Did you find out why she bought so many of them?” “Yes.” Zach lowered his head. “Ms. Madden fell into Ms.Raines’ trap.” “Sydney?” Julien narrowed his eyes. “What happened?” “According to my sources, Ms. Raines happened to be in the shop when Ms. Madden went to
Even though Zach knew exactly what Julien was thinking, he chose to keep quiet. Zach cleared his throat and said, “Yes. I will send them to you right away.” Julien handed the phone back to him. After Zach got his phone back, he shared the pictures with Julien. Julien lowered his gaze when he saw that his phone vibrated. “That’s all. You can go out now.” “Yes.” After Zach left, Julien was left alone in the office. He picked up his phone, opened WhatsApp, and saw the photos that Zach sent. There were a total of two photos, and he had not seen the other one. Julien clicked it open. The photo had the same background as before, and Sydney was wearing the same dress. However, her pose was different. She held her skirt with one hand, and the other hand was in the air as though she might fly away in the next second. Even though Sydney was still as beautiful, Julien did not like it. He pressed on the photo and was about to delete it. However, he could not bring himse
“That’s right. I also found out that Lyra is looking for Clarice,” Hunter said. Sydney raised her eyebrow. “So what? Isn’t this normal? Clarice is her sister. It’s normal for Lyra to look for her.” “No, no, no. Lyra is not looking for her sister because of the sisterhood but to send Clarice far away from Port City. She wants to make sure that Clarice wouldn’t show up in front of Brandon Madden and his wife.” “Why?” Sydney widened her eyes. Hunter pursed his lips. “What else could it be? She’s just selfish. If she is the only child of the Maddens, she will be the only successor of Trison Corporation. However, if Clarice comes back, she will not be the only one.” “I understand now. Clarice is a threat to her position,” Sydney said in realization. Hunter replied, “Bingo. You are absolutely right. I even heard that Brandon Madden has just disbanded a team of elites in the company. Take a guess on what the team does.” “What?” Sydney asked. Hunter said, “The team of elites wa
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
