“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,”
Julien paused and something flashed across his eyes. “How do I usually treat Lyra?” “Gentle, pampering, and obedient,” Finn said. Julien frowned deeply. Finn crossed his arms in front of his chest. “Are you upset with my summary?” “No.” Julien put his focus on the document in his hands once more. So what if he was upset? What Finn said was undeniably the truth. That was indeed how he treated Lyra. “Then, why are you frowning?” Finn looked at him. Julien replied lightly, “It’s nothing.” Finn chuckled and said, “I suddenly realized that you’ve become different since the accident, especially your attitude toward Lyra. What happened between you both? Why are you suddenly so cold to her?” Julien took his pen and put down his signature on the document. “Nothing happened between us. I just realized that the way I handle Lyra wasn’t right, and I want to reflect on myself.” “But you refuse to see her,” Finn said bluntly. Julien closed his document and placed it to the si
Lyra shivered angrily. “What do you want?” Sydney tapped her face and said wickedly, “I don’t want anything from you. I just want you to see Julien and I get back together, and we can live happily ever after as a family of three.” In the elevator, when Julien heard her, his tightened fists relaxed. A surge of happiness washed over him. Outside the elevator, Lyra sneered. “Do you think that’s possible? Julien doesn’t love you! He’ll never reconcile with you!” Julien had not realized that he loved Sydney. As long as Lyra could stop Julien from realizing it, then Sydney would never have her way. Moreover, Sydney might have been dead before that happened. “Is that even up to you? Six years ago, Julien didn’t love me either. He still married me.” Sydney smiled and hit the nail right on the head.Lyra gritted her teeth. “You…” “I think that’s enough for today. I’m tired.” Sydney let go of Lyra’s hair. Lyra felt the forceful tug on her scalp disappear and pushed Sydney. She
