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
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
