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
Sydney did not know what Julien was thinking. She widened her eyes in surprise. "What? It wasn't you?"Julien hummed.She clenched her phone tightly.'If it wasn't Julien, then it was Cay!'How would Cay be able to do this? He found out the information of these marketing accounts and media so accurately in such a short amount of time!'At that thought, she suddenly remembered what Julien said to her before.He said that Cayden was not simple and told her to be careful.At that time, her reaction was to scoff. However, now, she realized that she was wrong.Cayden was not as simple as she thought."Sydney? What's wrong?" Julien was worried when Sydney stopped talking.She snapped back to her senses and pinched the bridge of her nose. "It's nothing. Since it wasn't you, I'll hang up now."Then, she lowered the phone from her ear and directly ended the call.Julien frowned.He still wanted to talk to her and did not expect her to hang up so soon.With a gloomy expression, he
Finn suddenly opened his eyes. A dark light glimmered in his eyes as he pulled open the drawer and took out his cell phone.When the screen lit up, it showed several missed calls from Lyra, Cayden, and Sydney.He ignored Lyra's calls and dialed Sydney's number.Sydney had not rested yet. She was waiting for Finn to call her.She planned to call at 11:00 PM since she estimated that his operation would be finished by then.Unexpectedly, Finn called when it was only half-past ten.Sydney looked at the name Finn James on her screen, and her face lit up. She hurriedly answered the call, "Is your operation over?""Yeah, it's over." Finn nodded, his voice hoarse with a hint of exhaustion. "Is there anything I can do for you?"Sydney heard the fatigue in his voice and felt a little sorry for disturbing him so late.However, to clear the false accusations regarding herself, she had no choice but to disturb him."There is, actually. Give me a moment. I'll use another phone to contact y
After putting down the phone, Sydney opened her social media platform with her computer and typed: [Thank you all for waiting. A hacker contacted me during the day and said that they would help me release the evidence they found tonight. The evidence will be released immediately. Please stay tuned!]After checking for typos and confirming that there was nothing wrong, Sydney clicked on publish and posted the statement.She originally planned to release these two videos herself, but then dismissed them. Since Finn would be uploading them, it was unnecessary for her to upload them as well.However, she could make a statement on why she said she was so sure that she would get evidence by tonight, explaining that a hacker had contacted her very early on.This way, both the police and others would treat Finn's throwaway account as Cayden's, and would not find out that it was Finn that was behind it. Even if they found that the IP address belonged to Finn, they would think that the hacke
"What do you mean?" Lyra's heart thumped as a huge wave of uneasiness surged in her heart.Clarice took out the new mobile phone that Mrs. Madden bought for her and waved it. "Before I came in, I already saw the evidence released by the hacker helping Ms. Raines. There are two videos. The videos were really interesting. In them, it was you who personally admitted that those six men were supposed to violate Ms. Raines instead.""What?" Lyra's expression changed greatly. Her hands and feet went cold."Give me the phone!" She snatched Clarice's phone.Clarice did not stop her and merely looked at her with a vague smile.Lyra's hands grasped the phone tightly as she watched the videos that Clarice was talking about.When she saw the contents of the two videos, she felt like her brain exploded from a thunderbolt. She was completely stunned, and her mind went blank."How... How could this be?" Lyra's grip went slack, and the phone slipped from her hands and fell on the quilt with a th
Cayden smiled. "It's nothing. I just wanted to congratulate you on clearing your name.""Thank you." A smile also emerged on Sydney's face.Yes, her name was cleared, so she could relax now."It's all thanks to Finn." Sydney continued, "If he hadn't taken those two videos, this matter wouldn't have been solved so quickly."Hearing this, Cayden lowered his eyes and concealed the gloom in them.'It's all thanks to Finn?'I was the one who released those two videos.'Ding-dong. The doorbell suddenly rang.Sydney stood up. "Okay, Cay, let's stop here. There's someone at my door.""Who is it?" Cayden asked.Sydney walked to the door. "I don't know. I'll go have a look.""Okay. Remember to check who's at the door before opening it. Watch out for your safety." Cayden reminded her in a soft voice.Sydney nodded. "Don't worry, I know."After the call ended, she put down her phone and looked at the video intercom to see who it was outside.When she saw that it was a man in a delive
The officers were surprised before finally reacting. They did not expect to hear that someone else was involved in this case."Who’s Finn?" the interrogating officer asked again.Lyra was confined to a chair and could not move her hands and feet.Coupled with so many officers looking at her, she felt like she was about to be buried in her fear.She knew that she could no longer deny her crime. After all, the two videos were still circulating on the Internet.If she denied it, the penalty that awaited her would be even more severe. Thus, the moment she got into the police car, she already made the decision to confess to everything.At the same time, she was ready to give Finn up.After all, the men, location, and equipment were all arranged by Finn. The only thing she did was order Finn to do that. Why should she bear the crime alone?Finn had to accompany her as well!Furthermore, she was Finn's angel. Even if she gave him up, he would not be angry with her.With that thought
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
