Julien hesitated, obviously somewhat tempted by that proposal.Dr. Sullivan added, "Moreover, since your fiancee influences you, you can also try finding the cause from her. Maybe she knows something. After all, she's the only one who benefits from this.""You're right, Doctor. I know what to do. Sorry for the trouble today." Julien extended his hand toward Dr. Sullivan.Dr. Sullivan took his hand. “It's no trouble, President Flint. You can contact me anytime if you have any questions.""Sure." Julien nodded and called Zach in from outside. "Send Dr. Sullivan out.""Of course," Zach responded and swept his hand out in an inviting gesture.He sent Dr. Sullivan to the elevator and waited until the latter went inside before returning to the president's office."President Flint, are you alright?" Zach asked with concern.Julien shook his head. "I'm fine. Call a few more psychologists for me.""What's the matter with you, President Flint?" Zach was startled.One psychologist was n
"Sydney? Sydney?" Cayden raised his hand and waved it in front of Sydney when he saw that she was lost in thought.Sydney's eyes flickered for a moment before she snapped back to her senses and pursed her mouth. "What's wrong?""What were you thinking about?" Cayden asked her.Sydney opened her mouth and then smiled, saying, "It's nothing. Let's go in. I'm a little hungry now.""Okay." Cayden nodded.With that, Sydney lifted her feet and walked forward."Wait," he called out to her.She blinked in confusion. "What's wrong?""Grab on." Cayden bent his arm toward her.Sydney was amused at that action. "Okay, my little handsome man."Two blotches of red appeared on Cayden's cheeks as he led her into the restaurant.Under the guidance of the waiter, the two were taken to their reserved seats.Right after Sydney sat down, she heard a fuming female voice from the side. "Sydney Raines!"Sydney raised her brows and twisted her head over to see Lyra glaring at her with a resentful
Sydney shook her head. "I don't know. He shouldn't have any sudden illnesses."That was at least not to her knowledge.Looking at Julien's increasingly pale face, Lyra only cried, not knowing what to do. Sydney shook her head, utterly speechless."Ms. Madden, if you don't want your fiance to die, I think you should hurry up and call an ambulance. Will crying fix the problem?"When Lyra heard those words, her crying stopped. She was somewhat embarrassed that she had to be reminded by another person to call a doctor."I don't need you to tell me that. I know how to call myself." She looked at Sydney indignantly.Sydney shrugged. "I was too nosy. Go ahead, then. Let's continue eating, Cay.""Sure." Cayden nodded with a smile.The two went back to eating and stopped meddling in other people’s affairs.Lyra scoffed as she took out her phone to dial the emergency number.Suddenly, Julien raised his hand and stopped her. "No. I'll be fine soon. There's no need to call.""But Julien
After saying that, the pain immediately subsided.Julien lowered his head slightly to cover the rage in his eyes.Sure enough, that would not be the last time the situation happened. After this time, he learned that he had to make Lyra happy when she was in a bad mood or satisfy her when she wanted something. If he did not do that, he would be punished by pain, which felt like his heart was being squeezed. It was no different from being a marionette on a string!"Thank you, Julien. You're the best." Lyra did not notice anything strange about Julien and said with an embarrassed smile.Since Julien had returned to the way he was before the car accident, Lyra thought it meant that they had made up.Julien lowered his eyes to suppress the thought of destroying everything and remained silent.At that moment, the manager who just left came back with a doctor."Sirs and Ma'ams, please let the doctor check on you and see where you're hurt." The manager hurriedly said to Sydney and the o
Julien went over and held Lyra in his arms.In the eyes of outsiders, it was because he was heartbroken for her.However, only he himself knew that the hug was devoid of warmth."Manager, how do you plan to handle this matter?" While Cayden took off his jacket and draped it over Sydney, he looked at the manager and asked coldly.The manager’s heart sank, and he sighed before saying, "Sirs and Ma'ams, I'm terribly sorry about what happened. We didn't expect the chandelier to fall so suddenly either. This matter is completely our fault, and we will take full responsibility for it. We'll exempt the four of you from the bill, pay all the medical fees of the two ladies, and also grant you a membership card. What do you think?"The manager cautiously looked at Cayden and then at Julien.In his opinion, the decision was in the hands of those two men.However, Cayden looked at Sydney instead and asked, "Sydney, what do you think?"Sydney rubbed her temples. "Let's just go with what the
"I heard them!" Julien lowered his eyelids to cover the ridicule in his eyes as he responded indifferently.He thought that they were quite right.Lyra looked at him with incredulous eyes. "You heard them, but you're not helping me?"Sydney and Cayden also looked at Julien.'That's right. He didn't come forward to help Lyra even though we scolded her so badly.'Doesn't he love Lyra so much that he can't bear to let her suffer at all? How could he allow her to be scolded like that?'This isn't normal!'Julien could guess what Sydney was thinking from the changes in her expression, and his eyes darkened.He wanted to tell her that he did not love Lyra. Whether or not Lyra suffered was none of his business.However, his intuition told him that he could not say it. If he did, something bad might happen.The feeling was so strong that he could not disregard it.Julien let go of Lyra and put his hands inside his pockets, with his fists clenched. He said in a cold voice, "I can't h
‘So Clarice hasn't been found yet. Thank goodness.'However, they haven’t found her, and Mom is already decorating the room. It's clear how much she's looking forward to Clarice's return. At this rate, she’ll definitely take away all of Mom's attention when she’s back.'Lyra clenched her fists tightly over her knees and lowered her head slightly to hide the expression on her face.After a while, she suddenly lifted her head and pretended to be worried, asking, "Mom, if... If Clarice grew up in a poor family and has a weak, timid character, or if she doesn't know how to do anything and will only bring you shame, will you still look forward to her return?""Lyra, why are you asking such questions?" Mrs. Madden's gentle expression faded as she gave Lyra a strange look.Lyra hugged her arm. "I'm just curious. Don't we always see such cases on TV? That the children of a wealthy family get lost when they're young, but after being recognized, their parents don't like them because they ca
At that moment, Julien was sure that Lyra was not Maple Leaf.'If she is Maple Leaf, why would she burn the letters that tied them together instead of treasuring them well and taking them out occasionally to reminisce?'It's because she's afraid. She's afraid that she'll be exposed one day if I keep those letters.'Seeing Julien trembling as if he was suppressing his rage, Velma gulped in fear and asked, "W-What's wrong, Julien?"Julien did not respond. Instead, he took out his phone and dialed a number.Zach yawned and said in a sleepy voice, "What's wrong, President Flint?""Come to Flint Mansion. I have something to ask you." Right after that, Julien hung up the call.On the other end of the call, Zach sat on the bed with a dumbfounded expression.'If I heard correctly, President Flint wants me to go to Flint Mansion, right?'He took the phone from his ear and looked at the screen in front of him. When he saw that it was almost 12 a.m., his expression sank.'It's in the mi
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
