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
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Lyra was also having her statement taken. Two police officers, a man and a woman, sat by her bedside asking her questions."Ms. Madden, let me confirm this. You're sure that Ms. Raines had someone to do this to you?" The male officer looked at Lyra with deep eyes.Next to him, the female officer was recording their conversation.Lyra nodded with certainty. "Yes!""If it turns out that Ms. Raines didn't do it and your actions now will become a form of slander. You'll be legally liable for the damage you dealt with her reputation, and you'll also have to compensate for her psychological damages. Are you sure, Ms. Madden?" The male officer deliberately used a serious tone.When Lyra heard the words “legally liable”, her heart thumped and she remembered what she saw on the live broadcast before. Sydney had said that she would produce the evidence that she did not harm Lyra by midnight.Now, Lyra was very worried that Sydney would be able to get evidence. S
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
