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
"What is it?" Sophie looked at her.Sydney rubbed her brows. "Has the surveillance feed of the parking lot been sent to the police station?"Sophie nodded. "Although there was a delay due to a traffic jam, it has been delivered."Sydney hummed. "That's good. You can go now.""Okay," Sophie answered with a smile and turned around to go out.Just as she reached the door and was about to open it, someone pushed it in from the outside.Luke rushed in in a flurry and collided with Sophie."Ah!" Sophie lost her balance on her high heels and almost fell.Fortunately, Luke reacted quickly and grabbed her wrist in time, pulling her up."Sorry, sorry. I didn't mean to. Are you okay?" He looked at her in embarrassment and apologized to her.A trace of joy flashed in Sophie's eyes when she looked at his hand holding her wrist, but it quickly disappeared. She shook her head. "I'm fine, President Chase.""That's good." Luke breathed a sigh of relief and let her go before walking to Sydney
