Chapter 472 Treating Him to a MealTherefore, Sydney was worried that Skylight would be thoroughly investigated by the government.Although Sydney hadn't run Skylight illegally since she took it over, others must have done that before she came.After her dad killed himself, Skylight had been managed by Stephen.She knew Stephen very well. He was greedy for money, snobbish, and evil. He could do everything to get what he wanted.Four months ago, when Sharon took over the finance department, she found that Stephen had made a lot of fake accounts and evaded taxes.Now the fake accounts had been invalidated, and Sydney had asked Sharon to pay the taxes, but Sydney couldn't guarantee that there were no other problems.After all, Stephen began to manage the company six years earlier than she did, and he had a lot more people in the different departments of the company than she did. She didn't know if he had done other illegal things.But from what she knew about Stephen, he must have
Chapter 473 Julien Gave up on SydneyJulien's hand on the windowsill tightened violently as if he were about to smash the windowsill.Zach came in and sensed a cold, frightening aura around Julien.He then asked, "Mr. Flint, what's wrong?"Julien didn't answer. He kept staring out of the window with narrowed eyes.Zach walked over to the window and looked in the direction of Julien's sight. Then he saw Sydney and Hunter. Immediately, he understood everything.No wonder Julien looked so angry. When Zach had just come in, he was wondering what had annoyed Julien.It turned out that Sydney and Hunter were here for dinner together!"Mr. Flint, shall we go to meet Ms. Raines?" Zach asked, standing behind Julien.Julien's thin lips tightened into a thin line, "No.""Uh..." Zach looked at him in surprise, "We're not going to meet Ms. Raines?"Julien shook his head.Zach couldn't believe it. "But Ms. Raines and Mr. Cohen are having dinner together, and they seem happy. You...""Th
Chapter 474 She Began to Care about JulienSydney finally came back to her senses. She stood up and looked at Hunter with displeasure. “What are you doing?”Hunter didn’t expect her to have such a strong reaction. Blinking his eyes uneasily, he withdrew his hand. “I just helped to wipe the cream off your face.”Fearing that she wouldn’t believe him, he handed the tissue to her.Seeing that there was indeed some cream on it, Sydney knew she had misunderstood him. She tried to calm herself and sat down again. “I’m sorry, I thought you ...”“You thought that I wanted to take advantage of you, right?” Hunter chuckled. Sydney curled her lips. “Don’t do this again, or others might misunderstand our relationship. You can just tell me and I’ll wipe the cream off myself.”“I just did you a little favor, and I am sure this won't cause any misunderstandings. But since you've said so, I won't do that kind of thing again.” Hunter shrugged his shoulders and agreed.Only he himself knew how
Chapter 475 Julien Allowed Hunter to Chase Sydney"He and I had an argument?" Sydney frowned in confusion, "We didn't.""Really?" Hunter didn't believe it.Sydney nodded solemnly, "Absolutely not. But why do you ask?""Julien's attitude was so strange." Hunter looked at the room where Julien was in earlier, his eyes slightly narrowed and his eyes full of suspicion.Sydney also looked over at the room, "He was.""Right?" Hunter rubbed his chin. He had a skeptical look on his face. "If it was before, seeing we are together, Julien would definitely have come over and stirred things up, because he never allows you to be with another man. But today he didn't do anything. He seemed happy to see you with me."Sydney didn't say anything but just clenched her lips.She had noticed what Hunter had said as well. And she wasn't happy about that."So you think Julien and I had an arguement?" Sydney clenched her fists.Hunter nodded, "Yes. Otherwise, I can't understand why Julien would b
Chapter 476 Julien's IndifferenceJulien felt that since he had only three years to live, he should let go of Sydney and never approach her again.He was afraid that if he got close to her again, Sydney’s mentality would be affected. As time went by, she might fall in love with him again, and after he died, she would suffer great psychological trauma.After all, it was hard to bear the loss of someone you just fell in love with.Julien was so worried about this that he planned to alienate Sydney.“OK, Mr. Flint, I know. I’ll go through the discharge formalities in a minute,” Zach sighed.Julien waved his hand slightly. “Go ahead.”Zach nodded. Then he turned around and left.That night, Julien went out of the hospital and lived in an apartment near the city center, where he planned to stay for a few days. He would go back to the Flint Mansion after he fully recovered.Sydney didn’t know about this at all.The next morning, she went to the hospital with some hot soup she had m
Chapter 477 Be RudeSydney rolled her eyes in her heart.'Won't let me off?''I also won't let off the Maddens!'Sydney raised her hand to press Mrs. Madden's hand down that was pointed at her. Sydney said coldly, "Mrs. Madden, is there anything else? If not, I would like to leave first."Mrs. Madden took out her handkerchief to wipe her hand as if she had touched something disgusting. She shouted angrily, "How dare you touch my hand? It's dirty!"Sydney's face clouded over. "Dirty? You're right. It's dirty indeed. I was out of my mind to touch your dirty hand.""You... say that my hand is dirty?" Mrs. Madden stopped wiping her hand but widened her eyes and looked at Sydney in surprise."You're right. You're too dirty." Sydney nodded, took out her handkerchief from her bag and wiped her fingers with a more disgusted expression than Mrs. Madden's.Sydney wiped her fingers anxiously and forcibly as if her hand was extremely dirty.Compared to Mrs. Madden's speed in wiping her h
Chapter 478 Refusing to See HerThe receptionist memorized Sydney's name so that she wouldn't drive Sydney away or annoy Julien.The receptionist didn't expect Sydney, the woman Julien loved, to come so soon.'I must be attentive to Sydney. If Mr. Flint is pleased, he may reward me.'The more the receptionist thought about it, the more excited she was. She looked at Sydney with shining eyes, and her expression instantly changed as if Sydney would bring her luck.The receptionist poured a glass of water, put it in front of Sydney, and warmly greeted Sydney. "Ms. Raines, please drink some water. I'll help you contact Mr. Flint's assistant.""Thank you." Sydney smiled and nodded.On the way here, she had called Julien.But Julien didn't answer the phone. Maybe he was busy.Therefore, Sydney had no choice but to come to the front desk for help."You're welcome," the receptionist said and then called Zach.On the top floor, Zach was holding a pile of documents and had just come o
Chapter 479 Why Julien Gave up on SydneyWhen Julien heard that Sydney had brought him the soup that she had cooked for him, his eyes sparkled immediately. He was so happy.But soon, Julien extinguished his joy. He squeezed his phone tightly.He couldn't take her soup!He had decided to stay away from Sydney and not see her again, so he couldn't take her soup.If he accepted her soup, Sydney wouldn't understand he was keeping away from her, and she would continue to send soup later.Could he turn her down every time?Julien was sure he couldn't. The woman he loved cooked soup for him herself. No man could be so cold-hearted and turn her down over and over again.By then, his efforts to stay away from Sydney would be in vain.So no matter what, he couldn't take her soup.He had no choice but to cut her off from the beginning. Otherwise, it would be harder for him to leave her.Then Julien closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.After a few moments, when he opened his eyes ag
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
