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
It was so late in the day. Why were Hunter and Sydney here, and where did the child between them come from?"President Flint, why don't you go and say hello?" Zach suggested carefully. He was standing behind Julien, so he naturally saw Sydney and Hunter as well.Julien lowered his eyes. "No need."Zach shrugged.'In that case, let’s leave.'However, you don't want to leave and insist on watching them. Why are you deliberately making yourself upset?'Zach secretly sighed and pushed the rim of his glasses, saying, "With Ms. Raines and Mr. Cohen holding a child, they really do look like a family of three."The words 'a family of three' triggered Julien.His expression darkened, and his voice went cold. "How do they look like a family?""I think they do." Zach heard the jealousy in Julien's tone, and his lips curled into a grinOn the other hand, Julien's lips pursed into a thin line. "I think you need to change your glasses."Zach pretended not to understand and cleared his thr
However, Sydney did not think much about it and merely hummed in response.The Ferris wheel turned slowly.Sydney watched as Davey's pod gradually rose. When he waved at her, she could not help but smile and wave back.When Hunter saw that, he put down his hot chocolate and waved as well.However, as if Davey had guessed that Hunter would do that, he turned around to sit down with his back toward Hunter before the latter could wave.Hunter was stunned.Sydney snickered and started laughing in amusement.Hunter facepalmed himself. "That brat did it on purpose.""Davey is so cute." Sydney looked at Davey and said while wiping tears from her eyes.Hunter smiled at her words. "As long as you're happy.""Hm?" Sydney looked at him curiously, not understanding what he meant.He waved his hand. "Nothing."Sydney blinked. "You're acting strange today. Even the way you talk is so mysterious.""Is that so? Haha..." Hunter scratched the back of his head and laughed dryly.Sydney took
Zach pulled on his hair.Sydney and Hunter had been separated, but what about the kid? Why was he still with Sydney?Would Hunter be coming back later?Julien's expression darkened at Zach's words.It was bad enough that Sydney did not leave, but why did Hunter leave his nephew with her too?"Where are they now?" Julien pursed his lips and asked.Zach replied, "At the spinning teacups. Ms. Raines is having fun with Davey."Having fun...Julien raised his brows.He never imagined she was childish enough to go on those rides."All right. Keep an eye on them. Don't let Sydney lose sight of the child," Julien commanded in a low voice.Zach held in his laughter as he nodded. "Understood."Do not let Sydney lose sight of the child?It was clear that President Flint just wanted to know what Ms. Raines was doing at all times. However, he could not bring himself to say it, so he was using the child as an excuse.In the meantime, at the rotating teacups, Davey laughed happily. "Aun
