President Flint?Sydney looked at the door of the private room just in time to meet Julien’s cold eyes. In just one second, she looked away and let go of the teapot in her hand.“President Flint, what brings you here?” President Miles, who was sitting beside Sydney, stood up and said politely.The men in the room were all one or even two generations older than Julien. However, all of them knew Julien’s skills in the business world.Furthermore, Flint Corporation was in its heyday, so they did not dare to argue blatantly with Julien.Julien glanced at Sydney, walked in, and said in a low voice, “I heard that President Smith was playing cards here, so I came to say hello.”“It’s Friday. Since there’s nothing to do, I thought I’ll come over to play some cards.” The arrogance President Smith had in front of Sydney disappeared. At that moment, he said to Julien with a smile. “Ms. Raines just happened to look for me to talk about the order too, so she played a few rounds with us.” Pr
Sydney’s head felt dizzy as they talked by the car with the cold wind blowing, and she stumbled.Julien’s eyes darkened. Then, he directly took the phone from her hand, hung up the call, picked her up, and went to the other side of the car.Sydney was startled at being swept off her feet so suddenly, and the umbrella almost flew out of her hand. She quickly tugged at the man’s shirt with one hand. The expression on her small face was cold.“Julien Flint, put me down!”Julien ignored her. He opened the passenger seat door and shoved her in.“Are you done, Mr. Flint?” Seeing the man fasten her seatbelt for her, she said coldly, “I can hail a cab. You don’t have to care!”They barely talked in their six years of marriage, let alone Julien caring for her. However, in just a few days after their divorce, she had met with Julien several times.When did Port City become so small?Julien saw how much discomfort she was in and felt even more irritated at how stubborn she was. “The weath
“What’s wrong, Lyra?” Velma asked when she saw that Lyra had seemingly gone pale.Lyra immediately turned her phone away and said softly, “It’s nothing. My mom sent a message asking when I’m going back. I’ll reply to her later.”Velma turned to the front to talk to Julien without suspecting her.After making sure that Velma was not looking that way, Lyra picked up her phone again and looked at the WhatsApp message her friend sent.That friend was also playing at Red Plum Resort today and said that she saw Julien. She was just about to say hello to him, but she saw Julien chasing after Sydney. The two of them stood by the car and chatted for a long time.Lyra turned off the media volume and tapped on the video.In the video, Julien said something to Sydney. Then, he carried her into the car, got into the driver’s seat of her car, and drove away.It was just a short ten-second video, but it caused Lyra’s hands and feet to turn cold. She clutched her phone tightly.Were they not d
Sydney was no longer the Flint family’s daughter-in-law and did not have to put up with Velma.She grabbed Velma’s wrist with force and pushed her out. Caught off guard by the push, Velma stumbled before falling to the ground and spraining her ankle. She screamed in pain with no regard for her image at all.“Mrs. Flint, if you have something to say, then say it,” Sydney spoke with a hint of coldness in her eyes. “But if you try to get physical, I won’t be polite.”Velma’s face turned ashen with anger. “Sydney Raines, how dare you!”When Sydney had not divorced Julien, she did whatever they told her to do in the Flint family, and she never dared to talk back to them. However, how dare she react this way as soon as she was divorced!“I knew you were just a little b*tch who was putting on an act to please the Old Madam!” Velma cussed. She wore a dark blue gown that looked elegant and expensive, but her fierce glare made her look like a shrewish woman.“You were the one who didn’t wa
Ignoring Julien’s dark expression, Hunter continued to ask, “So what’s the deal with you sending mangoes to Skylight?”Julien frowned. “I didn’t get anyone to send mangoes to Skylight.”After learning from Hunter that Velma scolded Sydney because of the mangoes, Julien’s face became even more sullen. He called Four Seasons Orchard to ask.The person in charge there checked and hurriedly apologized. “We’re sorry, President Flint. Our delivery boy didn’t know about your divorce and thought that Ms. Raines was still your wife, so he sent the mangoes to her company. I’m really sorry.”Julien had put the call on speakerphone. Hence, Hunter, who was sitting on the opposite side, also heard it. “Sigh, poor Sydney. She was scolded by your mother for nothing.”Speechless, Julien pinched his temples. He was annoyed.He did not expect someone would dare to secretly take pictures of him in Red Plum Resort. He did not expect Velma to run to Skylight to cause trouble for Sydney because of a wr
“Yes, today is Clarice’s death anniversary...”When Mrs. Madden thought of her eldest daughter who suffered an early death, her hands holding the Baby’s Breath trembled, and she could not help but cry in pain.Losing her eldest daughter was too hard on her, so she put all her attention on her youngest daughter. Every year on the death anniversary of her eldest daughter, her heart would still tear up and hurt.“Okay, stop crying.” Brandon took his wife into his arms and comforted her. “Today isn’t just Clarice’s death anniversary. It’s also the day of Lyra’s engagement. Clarice will be happy for her sister if she knows that her sister is getting engaged.”Mrs. Maddens cried until her chest ached, and she gnashed her teeth. “It’s all that b*stard Harry Raines’s fault. How could... How could Clarice...”She spoke until she choked and sobbed again.Brandon’s eyes were also gloomy. “The Raines family is gone. Only Sydney is left.”Six years ago, he personally avenged his eldest daugh
Younger brother?Sydney looked at the caller ID and frowned. “I’m Sydney Raines, but I don’t have a younger brother. You have the wrong number.”“No, he said he’s your younger brother. His name is Jayden Flint.”As soon as she heard that name, Jayden’s bad behavior came to mind, and the hairs on her body trembled. “Sorry, I don’t know him.”Then, she hung up the phone.Luke asked curiously, “What younger brother? Was it Cayden?”“No, she got the wrong number.”Sydney left the office with Luke and agreed to talk about the planning for Skylight over Japanese food.However, as soon as she entered the elevator, her phone rang again.Sydney held in her temper and answered. This time, it was Jayden speaking instead of the female officer.“Hey, sister-in-law. Come to the station and bail me out.”In the six years that Sydney had been married to Julien, his younger brother Jayden had never called her ‘sister-in-law’ before and only called her by her full name. That was the first tim
Sydney took a deep breath when she looked at the brat’s bruised face. After that, she stopped wasting her breath on him and pulled open the car door.Jayden did not think of himself as an outsider at all and placed his grubby hands everywhere, touching everything he could see.Sydney’s car was a standard model, but Jayden was tall, so he had to cramp his legs under the seat. He even thought that it was a problem with the car. “What kind of sh*tty car is this? My legs can’t even fit! Hey, don’t you know how to ask my brother for a car when you divorced him?”“If you don’t like it, then get out,” Sydney spoke bluntly, not wanting to indulge the guy at all. “Go sit in your brother’s luxury car!”Jayden was speechless.The car soon arrived at Shallow Bay’s underground garage.As soon as Sydney got out of the car, Jayden pushed the door open and followed at her heels. “I heard the housing price here isn’t cheap. Did you sell the Azure Heart and use the money to buy this house?“Did m
