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
In the clinic, the doctor treated the burns on the back of Julien's hand.Sydney stood to the side with her hands clasped tightly. She asked with a solemn expression, "Doctor, will there be any major problems with his hand?"'I heard that there are many nerves in the hands. If his nerves get damaged, it'll have an impact on his life in the future.'I can't afford to take responsibility for that. After all, he only got hurt because he was saving me.'Julien looked at Sydney's tightly frowning brows and the anxiousness in her eyes. He said softly, "Don't worry. My hand will be fine."Sydney knew that he was just saying this on purpose, so she ignored him and looked at the doctor, waiting for the doctor's answer.The doctor threw away the blood-soaked cotton swab and replied, "There isn't a major problem with his hand. It didn't get splashed by a lot of the acid, so it only corroded the flesh. It'll be fine after the flesh grows back, but it may leave a scar."Hearing the doctor's
Julien frowned deeply.He saved her from the bottom of his heart and did not have any motive for it. Even after saving her, he did not want anything in return.In other words, he never thought of using this favor to ask her to remarry him or get back together with him.However, when he heard her say this preemptively, he felt a trace of anger in his heart in addition to hurt.In her heart, was he a man who took advantage of someone's kindness like this?"Let's talk about it later," Julien lowered his eyes and said in a faint tone.Sydney noticed that his attitude toward her had cooled down, and she knew the reason why as well.However, she did not care. After accepting the change handed over by the doctor, she looked at Julien and said, "Let's go."Julien gave a cold hum and walked to the door.Sydney slung her bag over her shoulder and followed.In the car, neither of them spoke, and the only sound was that of shallow breathing.It was not until they reached the police stat
Cayden went to the forest to shoot for a magazine. He did not expect to see so much news about Sydney popping up on his phone when he left the forest and had coverage again.How dare that woman Lyra falsely accuse Sydney of harming her and discredit Sydney's reputation?There were also those reporters, netizens, and that person who threw sulfuric acid. He would not let any of them off!Sydney heard the suppressed anger in Cayden's voice and knew that the always gentle young man was furious after he heard about what happened to her. She hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Cay. I'm fine.""Are you sure? The sulfuric acid...""The acid didn't splash on me. Many reporters saw what happened. There should be a video on the Internet as well, so you can watch it. I didn't get hurt." Sydney shook her head.Cayden lowered his eyes. "I know. I watched it, but I was still worried.""Are you at ease now?" Sydney chuckled.Cayden hummed. "Yeah. It's good that you're fine, Sis. Leave everything els
