“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
"No, it was..." The person seemed hesitant to speak.Lyra was impatient. "Just say it. Who was it?""It was your ex-fiancé," the person closed his eyes and said loudly.Lyra was stunned.Julien?It was him!She clenched the phone tightly as if wanting to crush it in her hand.After a few seconds, she took a deep breath to calm down. "What's the situation online like now?""Now, the news about Sydney is very clean. The accounts that were specially used to forward the posts have been forcibly deleted. Although your original post is still up, it's been suppressed so it can't go viral."He could not help but let out a sigh as he spoke.Sure enough, it was nice to be rich and powerful. They could have the entire network in the palm of their hands.Lyra's hand holding the phone trembled slightly with anger. "If I want to make it viral again, how much would it cost?""Around five million." The person pondered over it and gave an answer."Five million?" Lyra raised her voice. Her
"It's nothing. I was just worried about you, so I came to see you," Julien looked at Sydney and said with deep eyes.Sydney's eyes flickered and she turned away silently.Julien knew she was avoiding him and felt a little stifled. He pursed his lips and said, "These are just my emotions. You don't have to feel pressured."Sydney bit her lower lip. "I know, but...""President Raines, bad news!" Before she could finish speaking, Sophie pushed the door and hurriedly rushed in.Sydney's expression turned grave when she saw Sophie like this. "What happened?""Lyra... She..." Sophie patted her chest, waiting for her breathing to smooth out before saying in one go, "Lyra says she'll be having a live broadcast to explain the entire process of you scheming against her.""What?" Julien's brows furrowed deeply.Sophie hurriedly nodded. "She already uploaded a notice on her social media platform that she'll start the live broadcast at 11:10 AM.""11:10 AM..." Sydney's small face darkened
Hearing those words, Julien's expression also fell. He went over behind Sydney, ready to watch it with her.Sydney turned her head slightly to glance at him but did not chase him away and let him do as he pleased.She clicked on the link in Lyra's social media platform and entered the live broadcast lobby.Once inside, she was shocked by the number of people watching the broadcast. More than 10 million people were watching, and all kinds of comments flew across the screen, so fast that she could not even read them.Not even famous live broadcasters were this popular.On the screen, Lyra was dressed in a hospital gown. Her face was pale and her eyes were red as she looked at the camera. "Everyone, thank you for coming to my broadcast. I'm sure you all know what happened to me. As a girl, there's nothing more painful than for something like that to have happened. By right, I should be taking care of my injury now and staying low so that I don't get laughed at by everyone. However...
Bam!When Sydney saw those comments as well as Lyra's triumphant face, she clenched her fist and slammed it on the table.Julien held her wrist."What are you doing?" Sydney subconsciously drew her hand back and looked at him warily.Julien felt a little upset to see how wary she was of him. He lowered his eyes and said, "I wanted to see if your hand was hurt.""I just knocked it a little. How could it get hurt? You're looking down on me too much," Sydney withdrew her gaze and responded insipidly.He hummed. "That's good. Don't do that again even if you get angry in the future. You'll hurt yourself.""I know. I don't need you to remind me." Sydney pursed her red lips.Julien withdrew his hand and was just about to say something when someone pushed the door in.Stephen marched in angrily. "Sydney, you want to delist the company?"He glared at Sydney, completely ignoring Julien beside her.Sydney turned off Lyra's live broadcast.Lyra already told the audience how and why she
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
