Brandon angrily threw his phone to the ground. With a loud crash, his phone screen cracked. Mrs. Madden quickly held Brandon's arm. "Why are you so angry? What did Julien say to you?" "It's about the engagement annulment!" Brandon sat down and added, "He made up his mind to annul the engagement with Lyra this time. He even decided a time and date for the press conference!""What? There's no room for negotiation at all?" Mrs. Madden was shocked. Brandon sighed. "Yes." "What should we do, then?" Mrs. Madden was incredibly anxious. Brandon's eyes were gloomy as he said nothing. What should they do? How would he know? If he had figured something out, he would not be sitting here without doing anything. Trison Corporation became one of the ten major businesses because of Flint Corporation. Once they lose their marriage alliance with the Flint family, the Flint family would cease their support. Not only would Trison Corporation fall out of the top ten list, but other corpo
The rest got motivated and started tearing Lyra’s clothes apart. Lyra came back to her senses from the slap earlier. With a grim expression, she roared, “I’m not President Flint’s ex-wife. You got the wrong person! I’m not Sydney Raines!” She finally understood why she got kidnapped, and why would they say those things to her. These bunch of idiots got the wrong person and thought she was Sydney. The man who held the syringe just now said, “You’re not Sydney Raines?” Lyra’s eyes were bloodshot as she nodded violently. “No. I’m Lyra Madden. I’m friends with the one who hired you!” “Huh…?” They looked toward the cameraman at the back. The man replied in a light tone, “Don’t listen to her. She’s just lying. Our benefactor said that Sydney Raines has a red mole on her wrist and this woman has it. Who else can she be if not Sydney? Besides, he also said that Sydney is smart, and might trick us by saying that she’s not the one we’re looking for. You better not fall for this.”
Brandon looked at Lyra, who was unconscious. His expression was gloomy as he said, “God must be blind. Lyra got violated and our plan is ruined!” Mrs. Madden glared at him. “Look at her now! All you think about is your plan! Don’t you worry about your daughter?” “If I’m not worried, I won’t be here. Now that news about Lyra is all over the Internet, Julien must’ve found out as well. The engagement annulment is practically confirmed,” Brandon touched his forehead as he said dejectedly. Mrs. Madden finally realized how serious their situation had become. She stopped crying and asked, “Then… Then what should we do?” Brandon’s expression was depressed. “What else can we do? We can only accept our fate!” Even if Julien loved Lyra, now that such a thing happened to her, he would break all ties with Lyra. Which man would be able to tolerate such a thing? Moreover, the entire world might mock him if he still agreed to the engagement.“Is that all we can do?” Mrs. Madden was unwill
Zach’s helpless voice came through. “President Flint, a lot of reporters are calling us, asking for an interview with you. I think they want to know your attitude toward what happened to Lyra Madden.” Julien frowned. “Which company are they from?” “Except for those bigger media platforms, all the rest called.” Julien pursed his lips. “Just give them a warning. If they demand an interview, be prepared for bankruptcy.” “Yes.” Zach nodded without hesitation. He thought that the reporters deserved it. For viewer rates, they had the audacity to ask for an interview with President Flint at a time like this. “Oh right, President Flint.” Zach thought of something and added, “You asked me if Micah Stadler knows that your heart belongs to Quincy. I found that he knows about this all along, and he has been paying attention to you all this while. This is why he appeared immediately after the hypnotization on you weakened.” Julien nodded. “I see.” “Besides, Micah will come to the
Julien nodded with a cold face. “That’s right. Everything.”Zach’s face twitched. “President Flint, this is a little too much. I just finished my breakfast…” “Eat it!” Julien’s words were absolute. Zach hugged the breakfast for two in his arms, and he looked like he was about to cry. Revenge! Julien was taking revenge for what he said earlier. If he knew that Julien was such a petty person, he would have kept his mouth shut. Zach shook his head helplessly as he looked at the breakfast in his hands once more. Soon enough, it was 10:00 AM. Sydney handed all the documents she had sorted out to Sophie and looked at her computer. She was having trouble deciding if she should watch Julien’s press conference. After a short moment of hesitation, she decided to watch it. Why not? Lyra’s engagement was annulled. This was great news for Sydney, so why should she miss such a good show? As Sydney thought about that, she entered Flint Corporation’s official website. In the l
The press conference was still going on. The reporter was relentless. “President Flint, why do you say that Ms. Madden is vicious? What did she do? Can you explain?” Other reporters and everyone watching the live stream were looking at Julien in anticipation. Besides the entertainment news, they were also interested in the scandals among the rich.All because they lived unrelatable lives. Julien pursed his lips. “No. You just have to know that this is the real reason why I decided on the engagement annulment. You don’t have to know anything else. That’s all for today.” After he said that, he put down the microphone and left the conference room with both his hands in his pocket. He did not want to elaborate on what Lyra did because he did not want Sydney to be the center of attention. Even when Lyra did those things, Sydney was still a victim. Some people who had bad intentions might start speculating that it must be Sydney’s fault that Lyra started attacking her. Julie
Since Brandon was celebrating the fact that Trison Corporation’s stock market rose, then let him see it crash again with his own eyes. “I understand. As for the compensation…” “Compensate accordingly,” Julien pursed his lips as he replied. Brandon said those things in the video because he thought that he could get his compensation. However, Trison was not as resourceful as Flint Corporation, and Brandon Madden was also less wealthy than Julien was. Julien did not mind the compensation at all. “I understand.” Zach nodded and left. In half an hour, Brandon received the notice that all the cooperations with Flint Corporation would be canceled. Their finance department had also received the compensation accordingly. Brandon was completely stunned. He knew what he said in the video would offend Julien.However, he did not expect Julien to compensate him and insisted on ceasing all cooperation with Trison Corporation. Brandon was suddenly at a loss and incredibly anxious.
Zach was not surprised by Julien’s decision. He nodded and said, “I understand.” “Go ahead. Bring these with you,” Julien pinched his nose bridge as he said that. Zach took the documents in his arms. Not long after Zach left, Julien’s phone rang, and it was Jayden. “Bro, I saw your press conference!” On the other side of the phone call, Jayden was drenched in his sweaty basketball uniform, and he had just done an intense practice. However, his voice was notably delightful. Julien leaned backward. “So?” “So, I’m here to congratulate you!” Jayden wiped his sweat. “Bro, congratulations on ending your misery!” Julien smiled. “Thank you. Good luck in your game. I’ll be hanging up.” When he heard Jayden’s rapid breathing, he knew that he must be in the middle of a game. The U17 expedition match had reached its climax recently, and they had to play two to three matches per day. Jayden must have called him during his break time. “Wait! Don’t hang up!” Jayden took off his
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
