Chapter 491 Luke's Invitation"Should we send someone to investigate them?" Luke suggested.Sydney nodded, "Yes, of course. I must find out about them; otherwise, I cannot be relieved."After all, now Madeline and her mother were in the dark, while Sydney was in the light.If Luke hadn't run into Madeline, Sydney wouldn't know now that Madeline was back in Port City.Sydney would not be able to cope with it in time if Madeline secretly did something malicious to her.Since Sydney now learned that Madeline and her mother were back in town, surely she had to find out where they were, so even if they tried to do something to her, she could get prepared in advance."Who should we send to investigate them? Should we get a detective or...""Get a detective." Sydney said after a few seconds’ thought, "Madeline showed up around my company. She's probably here to learn about my company's surroundings. If we send our own people to investigate her, she might recognize our people, so we'd b
Chapter 492 Anna ArogonThinking that Luke had also invited her to attend the party, Sydney couldn’t help putting on a bitter smile.This was ridiculous.She was glad that she had refused his invitation; otherwise, Julien might think that she appeared in front of him on purpose when seeing her tomorrow.She wouldn’t give Julien a chance to look down on her.However, she somehow felt uncomfortable at the thought that Julien chose Anna as his plus one.She sat on the chair and held the mouse to click on the homepage of Anna’s social account.Looking at those luxurious bags, cars, shoes, cosmetics, etc. posted by Anna, she frowned slightly.Anna spared no effort to show off her wealth on the Internet just like a nouveau riche.In short, such a woman was not suitable for Julien.They had wide discrepancies in appearance, family background and upbringing.They could never be a perfect match!If Julien really married Anna, she would doubt his taste in women.“President Raines!”
Chapter 493 He Directly Made Her Feel EmbarrassedLuke smiled evilly and teased Julien loudly, "Whew, Mr. Flint, you change your taste? Didn't you like pure and delicate girls like Lyra? Why do you like hot girls now? And now you also like to flirt in public." Julien's face sank, and he slightly looked sideways at Anna, "Let go." If it weren't for the fact that she was wearing a strapless gown and it might slip down if he withdrew his hand, he would never open his mouth to remind her to let go but directly shake her hands off.Anna was not aware of Julien's dissatisfaction. Hearing him tell her to let go, she was obviously a little reluctant, so she pouted and said, "Mr. Flint, I'm your plus one. It’s..." "I said, let go!" Julien interrupted her mercilessly and repeated his words. His face turned darker, and his voice became colder. Anna was almost shivering because of his coldness. Her face turned pale, and she subconsciously let go of Julien's arm. Julien said with an expressio
Chapter 494 Intentions of Madeline"We discovered that Madeline arrived in Port City the day before yesterday. She's been staying at the Seashore Hotel since then, and she stayed in her room until yesterday afternoon, when she went out to check out Skylight Corporation and Twinriver District. She returned to the hotel after that, and she hasn't left since. " The detective reported all of his findings to Sydney.Sydney's brows furrowed. "Are you saying she spent most of her time in the hotel? ""Yeah." The detective said as he nodded. Sydney's face darkened as she lowered her gaze. Sydney thought, "That is unreasonable. That doesn't sound anything like Madeline. "Madeline was a lively and outgoing person. To put it in a harsher description, she was a troublemaker who couldn't seem to sit still at home. Given Madeline's personality, Sydney was confident that Madeline would not be able to stay in the hotel for such a long time.Furthermore, Madeline had recently visited Skylig
Chapter 495 Anna's calculations'It was an accident. I didn’t pounce on him deliberately.''As a gentleman, Julien would catch me, right?'Before they came to the party, Anna intended to stay close to Julien at all times, and she secretly prepared herself for it.However, when they were in the private room earlier, she made a foolish mistake and pissed Julien off. After that, she couldn’t make any intimate gestures at all.Unexpectedly, God helped her and created this opportunity for her to get closer to him.‘Did it mean that God was also for us to be together and that we were meant to be together?'Now she could carry out the plans that she had intended.Thinking about this, Anna hurriedly hid her excited expression and turned back to a frightened one. If Julien found out what she was planning to do, she would be finished."Mr. Flint, help!" Anna cried out to Julien. Her voice trembled as if she was so terrified.But Julien did not feel that she was terrified. On the contra
Chapter 496 Julien Will Get EngagedWhen the female assistant was pulled by Sydney, she thought that Sydney would criticize her and thus felt afraid. When she heard Sydney's question, she fell into a trance. "President Raines, don't you want to criticize me?"Sydney felt ridiculous and said, "Even if I think it's inappropriate, I will criticize your leader. I won't criticize you guys."Hearing that, the assistant was relieved and said with a smile, "You're so nice, President Raines."Sydney looked at her and asked again, "Alright, don't talk nonsense. Tell me what you talked about just now."The assistant nodded and said, "We talked about that Mr. Flint of Flint Corporation would get engaged again.""What?" Sydney's pupils contracted. She froze. "Julien will get engaged?"The assistant was new here and didn't know that Sydney was Julien's ex-wife.She just felt that Sydney was strange when Sydney mentioned Julien, but she didn't think much about it and nodded. "Yes. The news is
Chapter 497 Questioned by the Old Madam "Who is getting engaged?" Julien asked. He didn't go to Flint Corporation today but stayed in the large flat-floor apartment where he lived temporarily. At this moment, he was sitting on the lounge sofa on the balcony in a black nightgown, reading a financial magazine. Hearing what Hunter said, his comfort and tranquility suddenly disappeared, and his brows furrowed. Hunter looked at the big TV in front of him and quickly replied, "Of course, it's you, you and Anna." "Why didn't I know I was getting engaged?" Julien's face turned cold. What was wrong with Hunter? How could he spread rumors that he was getting engaged to the woman from last night? How could he have such bad taste?! Hearing Julien's words, Hunter paused. Then he calmed down and said, "Julien, you mean, you aren't not marrying the daughter of the Arogon family, right?" "I never said that I was going to marry the daughter of the Arogon family." Julien pursed his lips and
Chapter 498 Asked Him About the PhotoJulien's handsome face suddenly darkened.Had he changed his mind about Sydney?How was this possible?!He had been in love with Sydney for more than ten years, and his love had never changed. Instead, it had become hotter as time went on.So he had never thought that he would change his mind. Julien lowered his head and replied, “No. It’s just a misunderstanding.”After sending the text message, Jayden quickly sent another voice message, "Misunderstanding? Julien, what's going on?" Julien pursed his lips and typed again, “This is my business. Don't ask so many questions. Good luck with your game. After the basketball game is over, come back immediately. I have something to talk to you about.”"What is it, Julien?" Jayden asked in confusion.This time, Julien didn't reply anymore. After logging out of Whatsapp, he called Zach."Mr. Flint," Zach answered quickly. Julien said coldly, "You heard it on the Internet, right?""Yes. I called you
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
