“Tell me, why would I call Julien here?” Sydney was toying with the feather duster as she asked in a cold tone. Velma had her hand against her waist. “What else could it be? You must be trying to get Julien back.” Sydney laughed. “Based on what you're saying, if he comes just because I ask him to, then he must still have feelings for me, right?” “What nonsense! Julien has feelings for you? That's just your wishful thinking. Julien never loved you.” Velma looked at Sydney with mockery. Sydney turned her gaze away in disdain. “If that’s the case, how can I get him to come over?” “You…” Velma was at loss for words. She quickly adjusted herself and straightened her back before continuing, “Who knew what methods you used to get Julien here.” “A bunch of nonsense.” Sydney dangerously narrowed her eyes. “Let me tell you now, Velma Wilkins. If you continue to spout nonsense, I’ll use the toilet brush on you.” “You… You dare?” Velma widened her eyes. Sydney sneered. “Let’s see
Lyra’s heart dropped. She did not know why Old Madam Flint would ask her that. She forced a smile and answered, “Yes…” Old Madam Flint gave her a meaningful smile. “This is weird. Julien told me that you both used to be pen pals, and know everything about each other. Yet you’re telling me now that you don’t know what flowers he likes. Are you really his pen pal?” Lyra’s heart tightened and she quickly lowered her gaze to cover the guilt and anxiety. She forced herself to calm down and said, “Of course, I am. I was unconscious for six years and I forgot a lot of things. Julien knows about this as well.” She kicked the ball to Julien, indicating that Julien did not mind even if she forgot these things. This way, even if Old Madam Flint was suspicious of her, she would not be insistent on this matter. “Really?” Old Madam Flint raised her eyebrow, and it was uncertain if she believed Lyra’s words. Just then, someone pushed open the door violently. Velma stormed into the room
“No. I’m talking about someone else’s. I don’t know what’s going on today, but there are suddenly a lot of scandals within the industry,” Cayden replied. Sydney was stunned. “Scandals?” “Yes. President Wilson from the Hallmark Corporation has an illegitimate son with his lover. President Lawrence from the Toppen Corporation was detained for tax evasion, and President Corlton from the Cannes Corporation was found to be abusive toward his wife and children. The scandals of these big bosses from large corporations are all over the Internet, and it has become a mess,” Cayden said in a mocking tone. Sydney widened her eyes in surprise. “Did they step on someone’s foot? And that person happened to be someone prominent so he exposed their evil deeds? However, it seems impossible for all of them to offend a single person at once.” “Who knows? Maybe someone could no longer stand them and did this.” Cayden smiled. Sydney nodded. “You’re right. Stephen Dayton is lucky that he doesn’t ha
“It’s true. I have two bodyguards, and they are both retired soldiers. They killed someone before, and Sharon Campbell’s aura was the same as theirs. Moreover, when I shook her hand just now, I felt a thick callus between her thumb and index finger. That’s a typical sign of someone who frequently uses a gun,” Cayden said solemnly. Sydney sucked in a breath. “My gosh, I didn’t expect Sharon to have a background like that.” “So Sydney, you better stay away from her.” Cayden reminded once more. Sydney shook her head. “I can’t. Sharon helped me before, and if I suddenly distance myself from her, I’ll seem ungrateful. I also believe that she will not hurt me.” Moreover, no one said that someone who had killed must be a bad person. The soldiers who protected the motherland had all dirtied their hands with blood. However, they did it for a good cause. Cayden could only give up when he saw how stubborn Sydney was. He sighed and said, “Fine. But I hope that you can still be careful
Did this person do anything else to her besides snatching her bag? Finn majored in psychology before and even got a degree in it. He could tell exactly what Sydney was thinking from her expression.He wanted to hide the truth from her, but he did not expect her to be this smart and guessed it. “The last time you went to the hospital for an abortion, Lyra instructed me to kill you on the operating table and cover it up as a surgical incident. However, I saw the red mole on your wrist, so I didn’t do anything in the end,” Finn avoided her gaze as he explained. “Scumbag!” Cayden’s eyes were bloodshot when he grabbed Finn’s collar, about to hit him right in his face. Finn did not fight back and he was ready to receive Cayden’s punches. All he had hoped was for Sydney to hate him less. He could not let his angel hate him. “Cay!” Sydney pulled on Cayden’s arm. “Let go of him.” “Sydney, he was going to kill you!” Cayden was reluctant to let go. Sydney said in a forceful tone,
“President Flint!” Zach’s expression froze and he quickly pulled Lyra away. He pressed the bell by the bed frame in a rush. Lyra was initially annoyed at Zach, but when she heard the alarm ringing in the room, she suddenly realized what happened. “What happened to Julien?” she asked. Julien was in so much pain that he was about to pass out. Zach quickly laid him down on the bed and turned around to glare at Lyra. “Ms. Madden, don’t you know that President Flint is injured? How can you jump onto him like that? His wounds reopened!” Zach pointed at Julien’s chest, and there was indeed a blood stain on his shirt. Zach suddenly wondered if Ms. Madden loved President Flint. ‘When you love someone, you’d have been more careful when your lover is injured.’ However, Ms. Madden did not even bother about this. Lyra’s expression turned anxious. “I… I didn't do it on purpose…” She was just really happy that Julien woke up and came over to hug him excitedly. She did not think
Old Madam Flint nodded. “Yes. You used to be so different from how you are now. You were not as indifferent and were even gentle and warm in the past. But after what happened six years ago… You became a different person. If it wasn’t for your birthmark, I even thought that someone had replaced you.” Julien’s pupils constricted. Based on his grandma’s description of him, how he was now and how he was back then were two completely different people. However, Julien had no recollection of himself back then. Could this be normal? Julien pressed on his forehead as he felt a sudden headache. Weird images started appearing in his head again, and they were just flashbacks. They came and went quickly, so Julien had no idea what the images were. “Julien, what happened?” Old Madam Flint could tell that something was wrong with Julien and asked in a hurry. Julien rubbed his eyebrow in distress. “I’m fine. Grandma, tell me more. How was I back then?” “Sure.” Old Madam Flint naturally a
Sydney straightened her back. “You found someone?” “Yes.” Hunter nodded. Sydney bit her lip. “From where?” “In the countryside. She comes from a patriarchal family, and she was abused since she was a child. She was never schooled,” Hunter answered. Sydney frowned. “I don’t think that’ll fit.” If she was never schooled, then how could she be their spy? Hunter guessed what Sydney was thinking. He smiled and said, “No. On the contrary, she’ll fit right into our criteria. Her eyes look the same as Mrs. Madden’s. Moreover, for someone who was abused since young and wasn’t schooled, isn’t that a good card to gain pity?” Something flashed across Sydney’s eyes and she suddenly understood what he meant. “You want to make use of the guilt Brandon Madden and his wife have toward Clarice?” “That’s right. The worse Clarice’s conditions are, the better Brandon Madden and his wife will treat her. This way, she can get closer to the couple and help us get the information that we need,”
