Three months ago, Julien had a chance of finding out that Sydney was the real Maple Leaf. He just divorced Sydney three months ago. If he found out that she was the real Maple Leaf then, Lyra would not have a chance to repeatedly attack Sydney, and he could also get Sydney back to his side sooner. However, there were no what-ifs. Jayden’s ignorance made him miss the opportunity. Of course, Julien also knew that this was not completely Jayden’s fault. If he insisted on reading the letter when Jayden snatched it back, then things would not get to how it was today. Everything was just an ill fate. On the other side, Jayden was feeling extremely uneasy when Julien abruptly hung up on him. He walked around with his phone, muttering, “Gosh, he must be hating me so much right now!” Jayden regretted not letting his brother read the letters. If he did, then Lyra would not have had a chance to do all those horrible things to Sydney, and Julien might have gotten back together with
Sydney halted her footsteps. “Anything else, President Madden?” Cayden also turned around and looked at Brandon.Brandon took two steps forward and his eyes were dark as he looked at Sydney. “Did you plan Lyra’s incident?” He initially thought that what happened to Lyra was just a coincidence. When he calmed down and gave things some thought, he realized that there must be something more than that behind the entire incident. If what happened to Lyra was purely incidental, then those who did that to her would not throw Lyra into a busy complex. Simply because they might get caught. However, the perpetrators who violated Lyra threw her into a busy complex so that she would gain public attention. This was to ruin Lyra’s reputation and it must have been planned from the beginning. The one who did it was most likely Sydney. She and Lyra never got along and even hated each other. When Sydney heard Brandon’s questioning, she was so mad that she laughed. “You put the blame on
“Ms. Morgan, we received a police report from Ms. Raines, saying that someone was casting horror images on her window in the middle of the night. The one who did it has been caught, and he told us you hired him to do so. Can you drop by the police station?” the policewoman said in a gentle voice. When Kate heard that, her face turned pale and it was as if her soul had left her body. “What… What? Sydney called the police?” Zach was not interested in Kate and was just about to leave. However, when he heard that she mentioned Sydney’s name, he halted his footsteps.“Yes. Ms. Raines reported this to the police. Ms. Morgan, please drop by the police station,” the policewoman said once more. Kate shook her head. “No… No! I won’t go!” She was detained once, and she never wanted to return to the police station again. The policewoman's expression darkened and her voice became sterner than before. “Ms. Morgan, if you refuse to come, that means you’re not cooperating with our investiga
“Enough!” Sydney rubbed her forehead and her tone of voice was impatient. “You should worry if you’ll be detained instead.” “Detained?” Kate’s expression changed in an instant. “Why would I be detained? I already came to the police station!” “Are you just playing dumb or stupid?” Cayden crossed his arms and gave her a cold gaze. “You hired someone to cast horror images on Sydney’s window, which is a crime. The offense of criminal intimidation.” “No… What do you mean by intimidation? I didn’t intimidate her! I only wanted to scare her! It’s a prank at best!” Kate exclaimed in panic. When Sydney saw her reaction, she knew that Kate was speaking the truth. She did not know that it was a crime. She had met many ignorant people throughout her life, but never to this extent. Sydney looked at Kate as though she had given up on her. “Officer, please tell her if she has committed a crime.” “Sure.” The policeman, who was silent all along, stepped forward. “Ms. Morgan, you indeed
“No need!” Sydney frowned and put her arm behind her back, bluntly refusing Julien. Julien’s hand froze mid-air, and after a while, he tightened it into a fist and withdrew it. The disappointment welled up within him. “Sydney, I’m sorry…” Cayden lowered his head and apologized once again. His expression was extremely remorseful. He did not mean to hurt her. He just could not control the anger in his heart and unconsciously did it. When Sydney saw the usually gentle young man looking so melancholic, she suddenly realized that he looked like a big dog who did something wrong. Her heart softened. She ruffled his hair and put on a tender smile. “Don’t worry. I’m not angry.” “Really?” Cayden lifted his head and looked at her with glimmering eyes. Sydney nodded. “Really!” Only then did Cayden put down the apprehension in his heart and smiled again. Julien found the entire scene painful to watch. Of course, he was more concerned about Cayden’s personality. Julien’s int
Sydney suddenly remembered that Julien stayed in the police station even after she left with Cayden. Did he stay and interfere with this matter? Did he make the police officers increase the punishment for Kate and Felix? Sydney pursed her lips and decided to give Julien a call. In the Flint Mansion, Julien was in the middle of a video conference when his phone rang and interrupted him. He was rather upset at first, but when he saw that it was Sydney who called, the displeasure on his expression disappeared into a trance. Instead, he was pleasantly surprised. She called him first! Julien held his phone and did not pick it up right away. He spoke into his camera instead, “Pause the meeting for a short while. I need to take this.” After saying that, he went to the balcony under everyone’s surprised gaze. “It was President Flint himself who set the rule of not picking up phone calls in the middle of a meeting, right?” “Yes, and he broke the rule himself.”“Who do you thi
Brandon knew that this matter must have been related to Sydney. Twenty years ago, Harry Raines killed his eldest daughter. Now, Harry's daughter destroyed his second daughter and ruined all the opportunities to make a marriage alliance with the Flint family. He swore to destroy the entire Raines family. When Lyra heard Brandon’s promise, she smiled. She then thought of something and asked, “Mom, how did you find me?” Those six men humiliated and violated her in the worst possible ways and she passed out in the end. She had no idea what happened after that. “We didn’t find you. Someone found you in the complex,” Mrs. Madden shook her head when she answered. Lyra’s pupils constricted and she became uneasy. “Complex?” Mrs. Madden’s eyes were red as she nodded. “That night, you were put into a gunny sack naked and thrown onto the complex. A passerby found you by chance and called the police.” “Police?” When Lyra heard that, she almost passed out again. Her nails bit int
When she thought about those men, Lyra tightened her grip on the phone. She gritted her teeth and asked, “Those who violated me were all hired by you! Hand them to me now.” She wanted to kill those men herself. Finn leaned back against his chair. “I can’t. The moment they found out from the news that you aren’t Sydney, they ran away. They are probably afraid that we might be looking for them.” “What? Ran away?” Lyra’s voice was high-pitched. Finn lazily twirled his scalpel. “Yes. I've been looking for them for two days now, and I don’t have any leads at all.” “Damn! They ran away!” Lyra was furious. If they ran away, how would she take revenge? However, when she thought about the fact that Sydney was still around, she felt somewhat relieved. Since she could not find those men, then she would start with Sydney first. “Finn, continue looking for them. Let me know if you find anything,” Lyra ordered. Finn pushed his glasses. “Alright.” When the call ended, Lyra put
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
