Chapter 508 Sydney's NervousnessOnly then did Velma realize what a stupid thing she had done!‘How can I forget that I’m at the banquet for Mother? How can I cause trouble and make myself a laughing stock?’‘These guests must be laughing at me. They must think that I am silly and rude.’Lowering her head, Velma flushed with great embarrassment. She felt extremely ashamed.Before she went to the banquet, she had said to herself that she must behave well and cause no trouble.In the past, she didn't understand how a noble lady behaved, so she did a lot of silly things and made herself ridiculed.She also knew that she had tarnished the reputation of the Flint family over the past years, so she was very eager to behave well at this banquet and let others see her in a different light and know that she could also be an elegant lady.However, as soon as she saw Sydney, she immediately forgot to be elegant and gracious. She even forgot that she was at the banquet, and she scolded and
Chapter 509 Julien Bought Her a DressThe Old Madam looked at him with confusion, "What's wrong?" Julien didn't answer her doubts, but just said, "Her dress got wet, and I'll take her to change her dress." The Old Madam reacted. She looked at Sydney's wet dress, which was sticking to her skin, and nodded quickly, "Yes. Syd, you should change your clothes first, or you will catch a cold.""Let's go." Julien raised his chin at Sydney and said. Sydney didn't refuse. She nodded and followed him.She did need to change her clothes.The wet clothes were clinging to her skin. It felt cold and a little sticky, and there was a strong smell of wine, which made her extremely uncomfortable.The two walked towards the lounge. Hunter didn't follow them. He stood on the spot with a glass of wine, looking at them, one tall and the other short, walking side by side. They looked well-matched and he was a little unhappy.He was certain that Sydney was indeed attracted to Julien again!It was just
Chapter 510 She Wondered What Else He Had Done for HerFelicia looked over and understood what she meant instantly. She nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Mr. Julien's attitude towards Ms. Raines has indeed changed. Just now I saw that Ms. Raines was very nervous about Mr. Julien, for fear that Mr. Julien would be injured. Isn’t it the same as Ms. Raines’s attitude towards Mr. Julien when she first married into the Flint family six years ago? So Madam, you mean, Ms. Raines and Mr. Julien might have..." The Old Madam took a bite of the cake and said, "Yes, that's what I mean. I don't know what happened between Syd and Julien during this period of time, but I'm sure Syd is falling in love with Julien again.""That's a good thing." Felicia clapped her hands excitedly, "Looks like Mr. Julien and Ms. Raines are really getting back together.""Yeah, that's really a good thing, and it's the best birthday present I've received tonight. But I just don't know why Julien didn't let me say t
Chapter 511 Asking Her to DanceThinking about this, Sydney quickened her pace and soon returned to the hall.As she walked through the crowd, Sydney looked around for Julien.Finally, she found him in a corner opposite her.But he was not alone, standing face to face with a woman.Although the woman was not very beautiful, she was tall and graceful, seemingly from a rich family.Julien must be very familiar with this woman. They were talking about something and sometimes clinked glasses.Sydney even saw Julien smiling at the woman.And that woman helped him adjust his brooch.For a moment, Sydney stopped and clenched her hands, feeling indescribably angry and jealous.Hunter stood behind her, looked at Julien, and then watched her slightly trembling, sighing bitterly.She fell in love with Julien again.Otherwise, she would not be so emotional as she saw Julien standing with another woman. Hunter could see her jealousy.However, Hunter was not going to give up.She had n
Chapter 512 Exchange PartnersJulien and Linda stood close to Sydney, so Sydney would see them all the time. Then...Sydney lowered her head and got into a bad mood.Hunter noticed that. Then he saw Julien and Linda and knew why Sydney was in a bad mood.It was understandable. Sydney had fallen in love with Julien again. When she saw Julien dancing with another woman in front of her, how could she be in a good mood?Hunter sighed secretly and greeted Julien and Linda with a smile, "Hi, Julien, Linda. You also come here to dance."Linda patted Julien's shoulder and said, "I accompany him to dance."Julien glanced at Linda and signaled to her not to pat him casually. Then he looked at Sydney.Sydney noticed that someone was looking at her, but she didn't know who it was.She didn't raise her head to confirm and didn't want to confirm either.It was because she knew that she would be unhappier if she saw Julien and Linda.Seeing that Sydney didn't pay any attention to him, Juli
Chapter 513 Linda Was Julien's CousinLinda spun around and then put her hand back on Hunter's shoulder. She pretended not to understand Hunter and asked, "What do you mean?""Linda, don't play dumb with me. You and Julien deliberately came over and danced next to Sydney and me. Your purpose was obvious. You wanted to trade partners with Sydney during the partners exchange, didn't you?" Hunter looked down at Linda. He had a sullen face.Linda curled her red lips and smiled, "Gosh, you're such a smart guy. Julien is my cousin. I must help him get close to the girl he likes.""Even so, it's shameful to get in between others." Hunter pushed Linda away and stopped dancing.Linda took two steps back before she regained her foot stand. She was not angry. “Sydney's not with you, so it's a fair competition. But you don't have help, which is slightly unfair. You should have seen that Julien and Sydney are in love with each other. Otherwise, do you think Sydney would trade partners with me?
Chapter 514 I’m Waiting for HerAfter all, she had promised Hunter to be his dance partner.But in the end, she danced with Julien and neglected Hunter.Although Linda accompanied Hunter to dance and saved him from the embarrassing situation, she danced with Julien and broke her promise to Hunter.So, she felt very guilty.Thinking about it, Sydney rubbed her temples. Then she opened her handbag, took out her phone and dialed Hunter's number.The call was answered by Hunter soon, and his low and unhappy voice came from the end of phone. "Hello, Sydney.""Hunter, where are you?" Sydney asked.Hunter kept silent for several seconds before replying, "I'm in my car.""In your car?" Sydney became stunned.Then Hunter honked the horn.Hearing the honk, Sydney tightened her grip on her phone. “Are you going home?""Yeah." Hunter nodded.Sydney bit her lower lip. "Why? The party hasn’t ended yet. Why do you plan to go home?""The most interesting part of the party has ended, and
Chapter 515 We Are Not Suitable for Each Other"Why?" Sydney was so angry that she sneered, "Why are you asking me? You told me that you gave up on me. You told me never to show up in your face again. However, what you had just said in front of people overturned everything you had said before. Are you playing with me, Julien? What have I done to you to deserve such manipulation?" Sydney clenched her fists, slapped her chest with one hand, and yelled at Julien.Julien's thin lips parted, and his voice muffled from guilt, "I'm sorry. I did have said I would let you go before, but I had my reasons.""Oh? You had reasons?" Sydney took a deep breath and calmed herself down. “Well, then tell me what the reasons are"Julien lowered his eyes. He couldn’t answer her question.If he told Sydney that he had said those words to her because his heart started failing since he jumped down the cliff to save her, with her character, she would be overwhelmed by guilt when she learned the truth.Sh
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
