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
As soon as he left, his position would be replaced. If that happened, he would not be able to return to Skylight, nor would he be able to join other companies. He would be finished.Besides, he had no intention to leave in the first place.Julien looked at Sydney. "What do you think?"Although Sydney did not like Stephen, she was even more reluctant to have Julien send his people over. She nodded and said, "Since President Dayton said that he's joking, let's forget about it.""All right." Julien pursed his lips, somewhat disappointed.He wanted her to agree to let Stephen and the others leave Skylight.That way, he could send someone over here and have an excuse to come here and find her in the future.Stephen was greatly relieved when he heard Sydney's words.Fortunately, she was smart enough not to say something she should not say.Otherwise, he would be finished."President Dayton, are you still going to oppose my decision to delist the company?" Sydney looked at Stephen e
The group of reporters who saw them instantly got excited. They raised their mics and cameras, wanting to break free from the bodyguards.However, there were not as many reporters here as there were at the main entrance, but there were more than twice the amount of bodyguards here than at the main entrance.Thus, the two dozen or so reporters here were completely held back by the thirty or so bodyguards. They could not get past the bodyguards' blockade no matter how they struggled.These reporters were simply furious and hated the bodyguards.They had no choice but to shout at Sydney from a distance, "Ms. Raines, did you send someone to defile Ms. Madden?""Yes, Ms. Raines. Please comment."Sydney frowned but ignored them. She did not even look at the reporters.Of course, the reporters were dissatisfied with her attitude and threw out several questions one after another."Ms. Raines, by not commenting, are you admitting that you had someone defile Ms. Madden?""Did you arrang
"What?" Sydney frowned and subconsciously looked over.However, before she could see what was going on, someone suddenly hugged her body.Julien held her and turned to the side.The next second, there was the sound of glass shattering at the spot where Sydney just stood, followed by a sizzling sound."Urk..." Julien suddenly let out a groan.Sydney heard a hint of pain in his voice.She looked up at him and looked at his pale face that broke out into cold sweat. She hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"Julien did not answer and just let her go. He squeezed his slightly trembling right wrist with his left hand.Sydney looked down and immediately gasped. "Y...Your hand...""My hand is fine. What about you? Are you okay?" He raised his pale face and kept watching her, the tension in his eyes unconcealed.Sydney's lips twitched. An indescribable feeling welled up in her heart.'You don't care that you're hurt but ask me if I'm okay instead?'Is he stupid?'When Sydney did not answ
