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
Sydney's frown deepened. What did he sound like a husband questioning his wife? Did he not get his identity right? “Where did I go with Hunter has nothing to do with you. Why are you overstepping your boundaries?” Sydney pursed her lips and turned around. Julien pulled her arm to stop her. “I’m just worried. It’s so late and…” “I don’t need your worry!” Sydney withdrew her arm and stared at Julien with a cold gaze. “You never worried about me back then, so you don’t have to now either. President Flint, it’s late. Please go back.” After saying that, she turned around and walked toward the elevator. Julien did not stop her, and he just silently stared at her silhouette as she disappeared into the building. Back in her apartment, Sydney took off her shoes and put her bag aside before stepping into the bathroom. After taking a quick shower, she headed straight to bed. She was already in bed around 10 PM, but Hunter called her out and now she was so sleepy that she could
“What?” Sydney was stunned. What did she do wrong? The old lady laughed. “It’s normal for couples to fight, but don’t take it too seriously. I think this guy is really sincere with his apology! He even bought you breakfast, so just forgive him. Nowadays, not a lot of guys will try to make their girlfriends happy. You have to value him or you might regret it for the rest of your life.” “No, I…” The elevator reached with a ding. The old lady patted Sydney’s shoulder and interrupted her. “Girl, think about what I said just now.” After saying that, she looked toward Julien. “Boy, don’t make your girlfriend angry next time. Fate brought you both together, so you must value her.” “I’ll remember your words, thank you.” Julien nodded in gratitude. He did not value Sydney in the past, but he would put her first in the future. When the old lady heard that, she took the old man’s arm and walked out of the elevator happily. They were still a few floors away from Sydney’s car an
Sydney thought that after Lyra woke up and found out about what happened to herself, she would fall into a slump and be quiet. Sydney felt that she had underestimated how shameless Lyra could get. Of course, such a vicious woman like Lyra would not keep quiet just because of an incident like that. She would only get crazier. When Sydney thought about that, she pursed her lips and opened Lyra’s social media account. She immediately saw the statement Lyra released. This statement had already become a trend, and there were more than a million comments. A lot of larger media companies had already used this as headlines and created a discussion. Sydney’s face darkened as she opened the comments section. Many netizens comforted Lyra, and Sydney felt like retching. Brandon's video not long ago had already helped Lyra clean up the mess by a great deal, and now her statement turned her into a complete victim. Except for those who knew Lyra personally, or those who disliked her, ever
“What?” Julien’s expression changed instantly and his aura became intensely oppressive. After a few seconds, he asked, “How’s Sydney now?” “Ms. Raines remained in her office without heading out, so the reporters and netizens haven’t done much harm to her. But I think this has affected Ms. Raines’ mental health,” Zach said. Julien narrowed his eyes. “Expose the scandals of some celebrities and try to shift everyone’s attention somewhere else. Jot down all the people who threw malicious comments at Sydney, and those who threatened her.” He would deal with them later. “Yes.” Zach nodded and did as he was told. Julien fished out his phone from his pocket and called Sydney. “The number you have dialed is currently busy. Please call again…” Busy? Julien frowned.Who was she talking to? Cayden, Luke, and Hunter’s faces appeared in Julien's mind and his expression darkened. He kept his phone and walked toward the elevator. He was still worried. He had to personally tak
The happiness on Lyra's face instantly disappeared, and she glared fiercely at the person. "What are you doing here?""I... I'm here to see you. I brought you chicken soup." Clarice smiled at her ingratiatingly and stepped into the ward.When Lyra saw this, she instantly appeared to be provoked and slapped the quilt on her body. "Why are you coming in? Get out! I forbid you to come in. You're covered in germs. You'll only dirty my air. Get out!"Hearing those words, Clarice suddenly froze in place and was at a loss for words. "I don't have germs on me. I changed my clothes. Sister...""Shut up! I'm not your sister!" Lyra's expression twisted as she glared. "Listen closely, Clarice Madden. I don't allow you to call me your sister. You're not my older sister, understand?""I... I..." Clarice bowed her head in hurt and sobbed in a small voice.At that moment, Mrs. Madden came in and saw her crying eldest daughter and her displeased youngest daughter. She could not help but frown sli
