Sydney bit her lower lip and thought with some uncertainty.At the head of the table, Julien, whose mood had turned for the better, suddenly sank to the bottom again.He thought that she called him because she wanted him to explain it to her again.Unexpectedly, she asked for the recording instead!Did she want to go back and watch it with Luke or Cayden?Suppressing the irritation in his heart, he coldly replied, "The monitoring is broken.""Broken?" Sydney was stunned and looked up at the overhead camera. She could not believe that it was broken.However, she could not ask to check. After all, this was not Skylight.Just as Sydney did not know what to do, Julien suddenly said, "Come to my office.""What?" Sydney looked at him in surprise. "What for?""If you want to fail to hand in the analytical paper tomorrow, then you don't have to come." After saying that, Julien reached out for his crutch.Only then did Sydney realize that he knew she did not understand the contents o
Finn noticed it. His eyes were as cold as a venomous snake, but his voice was gentle. "There's no need to kill her. Sometimes, it's more painful to be alive than dead.""What do you mean?" Lyra frowned, obviously a little dissatisfied that he said he would not kill Sydney.Finn's glasses glinted. "I mean, wouldn't it be better to find a few people and take a video as they ruin her? That way, not only will the child in her belly be gone, she'll be worse off than dead as well."Lyra's eyes glowed. 'He's right. It's too easy to let Sydney die just like that. Letting her live in pain for the rest of her life is better.'That way, even if Julien finds out that Sydney is Maple Leaf, he won't love her anymore because she was defiled by others.'Sydney won't be able to lift her head for the rest of her life either. She'll be pointed at no matter where she goes. Even Skylight will become a joke because of her.'It's not enough to just kill her. I have to kill her heart as well!'Lyra's b
"President Flint!" At that moment, the office door was pushed open by Zach. He hurried in without knocking on the door.Julien frowned, somewhat displeased. "What is it?"Zach did not answer immediately but looked around the office as if searching for something.Julien pursed his lips and said in a cold voice, "What are you looking at?""President Flint, where's Ms. Raines?" Zach asked.Julien thought of his behavior earlier and could not help but touch the corner of his lip. He lowered his eyes and said in a light voice, "She left.""She left?" Zach raised his voice.Julien rubbed his temples and walked over to his desk. "Why are you looking for her?""President Flint, did you forget? I just came back from Twinriver District." Zach followed behind him.Julien subconsciously stopped and turned around, fixing his gaze on Zach. "What do you mean? Are you trying to say that Maple Leaf has something to do with Sydney?"His heart beat gradually grew quicker and quicker.Zach nodd
At that thought, Julien took out his phone and dialed Sydney's number.What he did not expect was the cold, mechanical female voice coming from the phone, telling him that Sydney's phone was turned off.Zach also heard it and cleared his throat. "Well... Why don't you just go directly to Ms. Raines and talk about it face to face?"Julien's eyes flickered, somewhat tempted.However, he soon shook his head again. "Go to the Madden residence first. I want to personally rip off Lyra's hypocritical mask.""Of course. I'll go prepare the car." Zach pushed his glasses excitedly and went out to get the car.Julien clicked on the photo album and scrolled to the two photos of Sydney previously taken by the dress store clerk. His eyes were deep yet filled with tenderness. "In our six years of marriage, why didn't you ever reveal that you used to be pen pals with someone?"If she revealed it even just a little, maybe he would have realized that she was Maple Leaf.In that case, he definite
"I can't. I promised him." The man quickly calmed down, collecting the bewilderment in his heart, and shook his head to refuse.Julien's anger roared again. He clenched his fists with a low growl. "You can't? That's between you and Lyra. It has nothing to do with me. Since your most important person loves Lyra so much, why don't you hypnotize Lyra instead so that the two of them can love each other? Why should I have to pay for their feelings?!"The man lowered his eyelids, and a trace of sadness flashed in those emotionless eyes. "It's too late...""What does that mean?"The man did not answer. Instead, he stepped forward, lifted his hand, and snapped his finger at the vigilant Julien and Zach.Snap!At that sound, Julien's eyes instantly grew hazy and disoriented. His mind started to go blank as well.Even Zach in the car behind them began to go dazed.By the time they returned to normal, the man was no longer there. They did not know when he left."President Flint!" Zach hu
The sound of his footsteps was as if he was stepping on her heart, making her heart seize. Panic and fear welled up in her.Lyra subconsciously retreated, her lips trembling and unable to make a sound.Julien's eyes were full of disgust when he saw this. "You can't answer that, can't you? That's because you don't live in Twinriver District, you've never had a dog before, and you don't have a stepmother and sister either. Can you still say with a straight face that you're Maple Leaf?"Thump!Lyra slumped to the ground, her eyes glazed over.When Julien saw her like this, he knew that she could no longer hide it. She admitted it."Lyra!" Mrs. Madden hurriedly went forward and hugged Lyra, shaking her shoulders. "Lyra, what's wrong with you?"Lyra's lips moved as if wanting to say something, but nothing could come out.Mrs. Madden had no choice but to ask Julien. "Julien, what exactly are you and Lyra talking about? What do you mean by impersonating Sydney? Who’s Maple Leaf? I don
Julien's face was slapped to the side. He was stunned, and his hands that were holding her also subconsciously let go.It was as if he could not believe that she hit him.Sydney did not care what Julien thought. She took this opportunity to hurriedly take two steps back, distancing herself from him. She glared at him furiously. "Julien Flint, if you want to act like a madman, then f*ck off back to Flint Mansion. Also, please look clearly. I'm not Lyra Madden."Julien pressed his tongue against his cheek and replied in a hoarse voice, "I know you're not Lyra.""You know, but you still hugged me? Are you insane?" Sydney was shocked.Julien clenched his fists. "I'm not insane.""Then you...""I love you!" Julien cut off her words.Sydney's mind went blank as her body froze. It took a while before she found her voice. "You... What did you say?"He said he loved her?How could that be?She must have heard wrongly.However, the next second, Julien looked at Sydney and repeated hi
Thinking that way, Zach was angry and looked at Julien with sympathy.Hunter looked at Julien, who was hunched over and unconscious, and raised his brows. "Hey, what's wrong with Julien?""President Flint has a fever," Zach responded with a bitter smile.Sydney pursed her lips and said faintly, "If he has a fever, then hurry up and send him to the hospital."Then, she looked at Hunter. "Come in.""Sure!" Hunter entered the house with a bright smile on his face.Sydney did not even look at Zach and Julien, and simply closed the door.Zach looked at the tightly closed door and finally shook his head, helplessly dragging Julien away.He was nervous for Julien because Sydney and Hunter were alone together.However, that nervousness could not be compared to Julien's health. It was better to send him to the hospital first and wait until he got better to let him fight with Hunter later.In the apartment, Sydney took the flowers Hunter handed to her. She found a vase, trimmed the flo
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
