Julien frowned. “What? What’s this about?” “I don’t know. He doesn’t want to say anything. He said he’ll only talk to you when you come back. Hurry up and come home, Bro,” Jayden urged. Julien hummed a reply, “Got it.” After he hung up the phone, he pinched the center of his brows and said, “Go back to the mansion.” He was planning to stay in a hotel tonight so that he could come to the hospital earlier when Sydney was discharged tomorrow, but now with Brandon at the mansion, he had to go back. “Okay, President Flint.” Zach nodded. An hour later, the car arrived at the mansion. The servants came out to welcome him upon hearing the engine’s noise. “Sir, welcome back.” “Has Brandon Madden left?” Julien asked as he passed the jacket to one of the maids. The maid shook her head. “No. Madam and Master Jayden are dealing with him.” Julien tightened his lips in silence. He changed into some comfortable shoes and headed to the living room. The moment he got there, he hear
Jayden was so shaken that he uttered with a high-pitched voice. His hands holding the document were shaking. “Sydney was pregnant.” Jayden gulped nervously, unable to calm down. Velma puckered her lips. “So what if she’s pregnant? What does it have to do with Julien? You can’t just say it’s Julien’s child.” Two and a half months pregnant. What did it mean? It meant that Sydney was sexually involved with other men right after she divorced Julien. Such an urge was a shame to her claims of how much she loved Julien. A shameless act indeed. “You’re right, Mrs. Flint. Sydney is bearing Julien’s child!” Brandon wore a vague smile at Julien. “Am I right, Julien?” Julien tightened his lips in silence. Velma knew him well. His silence usually meant acknowledgment. “Julien, is Sydney bearing your child?” Velma asked in shock. Julien nodded. “Yes.” Splat. The document fell off Jayden’s hands. He gave Julien a big thumbs up and said, “Bro, you’re the man!” “Stop fooling a
The panic on Brandon’s face made Julien curl his lips into a grin. “Mr. Madden, do you still need me to compensate your family?” Brandon’s mouth opened but words came out in a delay. “No. The Madden family cannot afford to accept your compensation, Mr. Flint.” Even if he successfully blackmailed Julien and got what he wanted, he would only make the man angrier. Besides, Julien might plot revenge or a comeback in the dark. It was the modern age where information was accessible with the thumb. Brandon knew his thoughts paled in comparison to the younger generation. Should Julien make a move against him, he would never see it coming. He could not put his entire family at risk. Therefore, he could not do anything at all. “Good, at least you know your place. As for your two daughters, one vicious and one barely an adult. None of them can be shown to be public, and they’ll never be suitable for us,” Velma said as she rolled her eyes. Brandon looked at her grimly. Velma shivered
“Mom!” Jayden was shocked but he was able to react quickly when his mother fell toward him. He caught her and laid her down on the ground before he did everything he could to try to wake her up. However, Velma seemed like she passed out cold. Nothing Jayden did work. Old Madam Flint had a glance at the unconscious Velma. “Felicia, take her to the room.” Felicia nodded and went to Jayden. “I’ll take over from here, Jayden.” “Oh, oh…” Jayden nodded repeatedly and handed his mother to Felicia. Felicia then helped Velma up to her room. Old Madam Flint turned her attention back to Julien. “Julien, do you know every man in the Flint family is loyal? No man in the family ever toys with women’s feelings, except you and your father.” It was at this point Old Madam Flint’s hands shook as if she was holding back something in her. A moment later, she took a deep breath, and rested her eyes to calm herself down before she said, “I’m not talking about your father. That’s a special case
“Grandma!” Jayden strode over in a hurry and caught the falling Old Madam Flint. It was then Felicia came down from the second floor and saw the terrifying scene. “Jayden, what happened to Old Madam Flint?” “I don’t know! She just fainted!” Jayden was terrified. Felicia ran over and took over. She checked on Old Madam Flint and even performed CPR. “Jayden, call the ambulance!” “Oh, oh right!” Jayden reacted. He looked around and saw the phone that fell off Old Madam Flint’s hands. He grabbed it immediately and found out that the call was still ongoing. Sydney’s voice came from the other end. “Grandma? Grandma?” She heard the little smack from the phone when it fell and Jayden’s panic screams. She believed something must have happened to Old Madam Flint, which fueled her anxiety. However, Old Madam Flint’s voice could no longer be heard through the phone. She was nowhere near the house either, so she had no idea what happened. She clutched her phone tightly and kept on
Recalling the confrontation with Cayden, Sydney looked down. “Nothing happened.” She was lying and Luke noticed her reaction. He raised a brow and said, “Really? But you don’t seem fine. After I got the wheelchair yesterday, I ran into Cayden and his look gave me chills. “He looked grim. I asked what happened but he didn’t say anything. When I came back, I also noticed the look on your face. So, I guess something must’ve happened between you and him, but I didn’t ask because you looked moody.” Sydney bit her lips in silence. Luke sat down beside her and said, “Come on, maybe I can give a piece of advice or two.” “It’s nothing.” Sydney also took a seat in the chair. “I just found out about Cay’s mental issue, so…” As for the poisoning, she decided to keep it a secret. First of all, she did not want Luke to worry and second, she did not want to leave a crack in Luke and Cayden’s friendship. Luke knew Cayden for a long time now. Although not as long as she knew Cayden, the
“I think it’s going to be a challenge.” Luke laid his hands out. Sydney looked at him. He bitterly chuckled and said, “I tried to convince him once but he didn’t listen to me at all. That’s why I said it’s going to be a challenge.” Sydney looked down. “No matter what he says, he can’t be like this forever, or he’ll only hurt others and himself. I’ll find time to talk to him.” “Okay. I’m counting on you. Let’s go.” Luke got up and grabbed the luggage. Sydney nodded. “Let’s go.” The two of them came out of the ward and headed to the elevator. Before Luke could press the button, the elevator door opened. Jayden came out in a hurry and he almost bumped into Sydney. “Darling! Careful!” Fortunately, Luke reacted quickly and pulled Sydney to the side, saving her from being knocked over. Jayden heard Luke’s voice and stopped. He then realized Sydney was right in front of him. “Sydney!” “Jayden? Why are you here?” Sydney was curious. “Grandma and Bro were hospitalized.
Noticing Sydney spacing out, Luke moved closer and asked, “Darling, what’s wrong?” Sydney regained her composure and saw his face inches away from hers. Shocked, she faltered backward before she averted his gaze by looking down. “N-Nothing.” Luke squinted. ‘What happened? Darling seems to be avoiding me.’ “Sydney, can we go to Grandma’s ward now?” Jayden could not tolerate watching Sydney being intimate with other men. To him, Sydney belonged to his brother. He had to help his brother to keep an eye out for the men around her, keeping them away from her. Sydney nodded. “Let’s go.” Then, she turned to Luke and added, “Luke, I’m going over.” “Okay,” Luke said. Sydney signaled Jayden with a glance before the two of them headed the opposite way. The ward section that they were at was the luxurious one, so it was no surprise that Old Madam Flint was nearby. Half a minute later, Jayden stopped before a ward. “Here it is.” Sydney noticed Old Madam Flint’s name on the p
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
