Hunter did not know about Julien's ruthless and jealous thoughts.He paced back and forth irritably. "It's over. Sydney knows that you're Z-H, and she knows that you're the child's father. In that case, she knows that I helped you hide the truth from her. What should I do? I'm going to lose her before I obtain her!"Julien's eyes narrowed dangerously at those words.'He still wants to obtain Sydney?'How bold!'Unfortunately, Sydney can only be mine!'"No!" Hunter stopped pacing as if he had decided something. He looked like he threw caution to the wind. "I have to go to Sydney and take the initiative to make amends to her. Even if she blames me now, I have to express my remorse. Maybe she won't hold it against me if she sees me take the initiative to apologize."After saying that, he turned and left the ward without even saying goodbye to Julien.Julien did not manage to stop him and could only watch him leave.At first, he was worried that Sydney would forgive Hunter because
Talk?Sydney pursed her lips.She more or less knew what he wanted to talk about, but she did not think there was anything else to say.Apart from Hunter's concealment and deception, the main reason why she broke off her friendship with him was because of his feelings for her.Julien said that Hunter liked her.Thus, she had been secretly observing him.However, she could not find any traces of him liking her.Nevertheless, Julien would not lie, so just in case, she chose to break off her friendship with Hunter.She could not reciprocate his feelings, so it was better to just stay away from him before he told her.That way, maybe his feelings for her would gradually fade....The next day, Sydney was still asleep when she was awakened by a phone call.Without opening her eyes, her hand reached out of the bed and reflexively groped around the bedside table.When she touched her phone, she swiped the answer icon using muscle memory and brought the phone to her ear. "Who is t
Just as Sydney thought that, several disarrayed footsteps sounded behind her.She turned her head and looked at the scene outside the glass window. Two men in black suits were escorting a man over.Of the two men in suits, one of them was Zach, and the other was a typical bodyguard.As for the man they were escorting...Sydney immediately stood up, anger written all over her face.'It's him!'He was the one who was sleeping beside me when I woke up three months ago!'Julien knew why Sydney reacted so strongly. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he looked at the man being escorted."President Flint, this is the man," Zach let go of the man first and said to Julien.Julien hummed and looked at Sydney. "You go first, Sydney."He would finish the man up after she was done with him.Sydney did not refuse and looked at the man coldly.The man was kicked hard behind his knees by the bodyguard and immediately fell to his knees. His face distorted as he wailed in pain.Sydney step
The man answered truthfully, "He sent it to our work group chat. He said that he’d pay 30 thousand and hoped that one of us would go..."He stole a glance at Sydney and hurriedly lowered his head. He did not dare to say that particular word, so he chose another term and said, "Bully a woman and take videos and photos. After it's done, we just have to send the videos and photos to him. There were many people fighting over the job, but I was the one who finally got it."He was ecstatic when he landed the job back then, but now, he regretted it just as much.He wanted to slap himself twice. Why did he accept the task so eagerly?"Photos and videos? Did you take any?" Sydney's expression changed dramatically as her fists clenched tightly.The air pressure around Julien also plummeted as his killing intent toward the man increased.The man immediately shivered and hurriedly explained, "No, no, I didn't take any. On my way to the club that night, I met a female customer I played around
"Are you free to talk?" Sydney asked.Clarice looked at Mrs. Madden, who was not far away and lowered her voice to reply, "Please give me a moment, Ms. Raines. I'll move somewhere else.""Sure." Sydney nodded.Clarice put down her phone and walked out of the living room into the garden before bringing the phone to her ear again. "Okay, Ms. Raines. Please go ahead."Sydney listened to how graceful and natural Clarice spoke and could not help but be surprised.It had not been long, but Denna changed considerably.In the past, Denna had a country accent, and she always spoke in a subservient tone. However, there was no such thing now. There was even a trace of elegance.It seemed that after arriving at the Madden family, Denna was working very hard to improve herself.Sydney did not think much about it and said with a serious face, "I need your help with something."Clarice smiled. "Of course. I work for Mr. Cohen and you. As long as it's you two asking, I'll do all I can for you
After waiting for half an hour, Clarice estimated that it was almost time. She put down the TV remote control, got up, and went upstairs.She came to Lyra's door and raised her hand to knock on it. "Lyra, can I come in?"Although she guessed that Lyra already passed out because of the medicine, it was better to ask in advance.Otherwise, if she went in before Lyra fell asleep, it would be awkward. Lyra would suspect her purpose of entering the room without permission."Lyra?" Clarice called again.There was no movement inside the room.Clarice determined that Lyra was indeed asleep, and went into the room confidently.Lyra's room was as big as hers, and the layout was similar too.Clarice looked around a bit before stopping and going straight toward the bed.When she reached the bed, Lyra was lying in it with her eyes closed and motionless. It seemed like she was sleeping deeply.However, Clarice knew that Lyra was not sleeping. She was in a semi-comatose and hazy state.Cla
This discovery caused Clarice to get flustered and at a loss.'I don't know why Ms. Raines is the real Clarice, let alone what kind of enmity she has with the Madden family.'I only know that once Ms. Raines' true identity is exposed, there would be no room for survival for me, the fake Clarice.'Ms. Raines told me to impersonate Clarice because she doesn't know that she's the real Clarice. However, once she knows, she might not let me continue to pretend to be Clarice.'After all, if it were me, I wouldn't allow it either. No one wants to see their identity being taken by someone else.'If Ms. Raines knows that she's Clarice Madden, she'll go back to the Madden family. Even if she has a grudge against the Madden family, even the deepest grudges will dissipate in the face of family. At that time, Ms. Raines would acknowledge her parents, and I'd be sent back to my old home. I'd have to go back to that dark and desperate life.'No, I can't go back!'I went through so much just to
However, this was good. Mrs. Madden was instantly pleased when her daughter took the initiative to approach her."I didn't have a change of heart. I just suddenly figured it out. When I came back, Lyra hated me so much, and I felt inferior, so I didn't dare to hold you like this. I was afraid that you’d also dislike me and push me away." Clarice leaned her head against Mrs. Madden's shoulder.Mrs. Madden stroked her hair. "Of course, I wouldn't do that. How would a mother dislike her own daughter? You're so silly."Mrs. Madden poked Clarice's forehead. "But it's good if you figured it out. Don't think about such nonsense in the future.""Mm, I won't. I'll be the apple of your eye," Clarice said.She was silly. After coming to the Madden family for so long, she did not think of herself as the real daughter of the family. It was only until she knew about Sydney did she have such a thought.However, it was not too late. Starting today, she would completely win over her parents so th
