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
Zach turned and left.Julien picked up his phone. Among the two options of calling Sydney or messaging her, he finally chose to use WhatsApp. [Zach sent those two over to you. Please wait a little longer.]Sydney was sitting on a chair in the lobby of the police station. She took out her phone and looked at it when she heard it vibrate in her bag.When she saw the message, her expression turned happy and she hurriedly typed: [All right. Thank you.]Julien quickly replied: [No need to thank me. Also, I've helped you deal with those two men.]Deal with them?Sydney was confused. [What do you mean?][JulienFlint: You'll know when they arrive.]Since he was keeping her in suspense, she pursed her red lips and put away the phone, not asking anymore.He did not tell her when she asked once.Thus, there was naturally no need to ask him a second time.At that moment, a familiar voice sounded not far away.Sydney raised her brows and looked up to see Kate standing face to face with
Zach followed behind her and went over.When they arrived at the interrogation room, Sydney knocked on the door.A police officer opened the door and let her in.As the person who made the report, she was naturally qualified to see the suspects.After all, the suspects had not been formally arrested yet, so she could see them.Sydney entered the interrogation room and looked at the table.Then, she was instantly stunned.The man she had just seen in the morning was sitting in a wheelchair. He was pale, and his legs were wrapped in thick bandages.The other man in the waiter's uniform did not look much better. Although his legs were fine, his arms were wrapped in bandages and hung around his neck.One of the men injured his legs, and the other injured his arms. It was clear that it was not as simple as an accident.After all, she had just seen the man who had hurt his legs. He had been fine this morning, but he was hurt now. Someone harmed him on purpose.At that thought, she
As for how to hide it...Clarice bit her lip.She discovered Sydney's identity because she accidentally saw the red mole on Sydney's wrist.In that case, destroying that red mole would be a good way to hide her identity, right?At that thought, Clarice clenched her fists. Her heart had already made a decision.Her phone suddenly rang.She took a deep breath, suppressing the messy emotions in her heart and calming herself down, then took out her phone and looked at it.When she saw that it was from Mrs. Madden, she quickly answered, "Hi, Mom.""Clarice, come home quickly." Mrs. Madden's voice on the phone was so anxious it sounded like she was about to cry.Clarice straightened up. "Mom, what's wrong? What happened?""The police came to our house earlier and took Lyra away..." This time, Mrs. Madden burst out in tears. "They said that Lyra broke the law during the probation period. How is that possible? Lyra has been by our side this entire time and didn't do anything. How cou
"What? Lyra is going to jail?" Luke immediately threw the Azure Heart to the back of his mind when he heard that.In his heart, nothing was more important than the news of Lyra going to jail. Even the Azure Heart that was worth millions could not compare."Darling, hurry up and tell me. What did Lyra do to break the law again?" Luke looked at Sydney and asked excitedly.Sydney's expression cooled. "She didn't do it now. It was during your birthday night. She told the club waiter to drug me.""Sh*t. Something like that happened that night?" Luke's expression darkened, and he slapped his thigh in anger.Then, he thought of something else, and his expression turned complicated. "Darling, was it because you were drugged that you ended up...""Pretty much." Sydney shrugged.However, she felt that even if she was not drugged, she would still end up sleeping with Julien when she was drunk."That woman deserves to die!" Luke clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in anger.Sydney ru
How could that be?Brandon immediately objected. "Director Walker, you can't do this!""Why not?" Director Walker looked at him coldly, the mockery in his eyes unconcealed.Brandon's face turned red. "Because I'm the chairman of the board and the largest shareholder of Trison. How can you hold a board meeting and make me stand down as the chairman? That's unreasonable!""There's nothing unreasonable about that. A chairman can be someone who's not the largest shareholder, and the largest shareholder doesn't have to be the chairman. There's no conflict," Director Walker said.The other directors also nodded."Yes, Chairman. You can give up your position to someone more capable. What's so bad about being an idle shareholder?""Exactly. You can't even manage your own household. How are you supposed to manage Trison? In these few months, you've made such a mess of Trison and caused us, shareholders, to lose a lot of benefits. Last time, we forgave you and let you continue to be the c
"What are you thinking about, Sydney?" Hunter put his hand in front of her and waved when he saw her suddenly space out.Sydney's eyes flickered, and she said indifferently, "Nothing.""Then, about Davey..."Sydney bit her lip and seemed to be considering.When Hunter saw this, he secretly shot a look at Davey which said, 'Kid, hurry up and do something. It'll depend on you whether you can stay here or not. I've already tried my best.'Davey rolled his eyes and replied with his eyes, 'Stupid uncle. You were the one who brought me here. You said that Aunty was ignoring you because you two fought, so you want me to act as a peacemaker and let her forgive you. How can you dump everything on me now? I'm just a baby.'Hunter's lips twitched. 'Cut the crap and do something. Do you still want her to be your Aunty? If you do, then hurry up and act cute. Make her take you in. That way, you can help put in a few good words for me.'Davey had no choice. He sighed like a small adult and put
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
