Chapter 517 Lyra Killed Herself"It's quite mysterious." The Old Madam took a sip of the tea. "Since you have said so, I will not ask anymore, but there is one thing I want to know. Sydney didn't realize that she had fallen in love with you again, so I wanted to tell her about it, but why did you stop me?""Because it's not the right time yet." Julien leaned back. "Sydney is not aware of her feelings for me. If we tell her about it, she will not accept the fact and even resist it, so I want her to discover it herself and gradually accept the fact that she loves me."It was unwise to let others tell Sydney the truth. She might even run away and avoid him because she couldn't accept it.Thus, the best and more practical way was to wait for Sydney to figure this out herself and accept him.The Old Madam nodded thoughtfully. "You have a point. Since you have decided, you can do as you wish, but I hope you will marry Sydney soon. As for Velma, you don't need to worry about her. I wil
Chapter 518 Fashion Icon — JulienAs Sydney was the plaintiff in Lyra's case, the police would notify her of whatever happened to Lyra.That was why as soon as Lyra committed suicide, the police immediately told Sydney about it."Lyra... She committed suicide," Sydney murmured in disbelief.Zach’s eyes widened in shock. "What? Lyra committed suicide. How could it be possible?"Julien took the phone from Sydney's hand and asked, "Why did Lyra commit suicide?"Jase recognized Julien's voice and answered, "We haven’t found out the reason yet. No one expected Lyra to commit suicide, and no one knows why she did so. We guess the reason why she killed herself was that she didn’t want to be put in prison. After all, she will be sent to prison tomorrow. But...""But this guess is not very convincing," Julien said with his eyes narrowed.Jase nodded. "Yes. If Lyra really committed suicide to escape being jailed, she would have committed suicide on the first day of execution outside pris
Chapter 519 Sydney Passed OutSydney nodded."Go ahead." Julien said.Sydney's lips twitched. She was frightened.It was a dead body after all.Sydney had never seen a dead body before, except on TV, and she had never been to the scene of an accident, so she was scared.Seeing that Sydney was frightened, Julien gently squeezed her hand. "It's okay. I'm right here."Sydney turned to Julien.Looking at the calmness on his face and the attentiveness in his eyes, Sydney felt the fear in her heart was alleviated."Let's go." Julien sensed Sydney calming down a bit. He took her hand and walked forward.Sydney followed him. Watching Julien’s figure, she fell into a daze, and her eyes flickered."There you are." Jase was taking notes. Seeing Sydney and Julien coming, he immediately closed his notebook and walked up to them.Julien nodded slightly, "How's it going?" His eyes looked to the front.The place was surrounded by doctors and police officers, and Julien couldn't see what w
Chapter 520 The Body Was Not Lyra'sFinn crouched down next to the body. He replied, without looking up, "This woman jumped off the building. She landed on her head, and she cracked her skull, which killed her. Other than that,..."He lifted Lyra's arm and squeezed it, from her fingers to her shoulder. Suddenly, his face changed color slightly.Her bones…Finn dropped the arm and quickly grabbed Lyra's other arm and squeezed it from her fingers up to her shoulder. Then he narrowed his eyes. An eerie dark glimmer flashed across the bottom of his eyes."What's going on?" Julien asked. The strange look in Finn’s eyes aroused Julien's suspicion.Finn stood up. He did not answer. He turned to Jase, "Please send the body to the morgue. I’m going to perform an autopsy on the body.""If you want to dissect the body, I need to ask for permission from my superior," Jase said with a frown.Finn nodded as he removed his gloves, "Please do it quickly. It's crucial to this case."Jase glanc
Chapter 521 Mrs. Madden's CurseSydney was thinking about something on a bench motionlessly. She held the bottle with her hands tightly and lowered her head.Suddenly, she heard a burst of rapid footsteps and a woman's heartbreaking cries. "Lyra... My poor Lyra..."It was Mrs. Madden!Sydney raised her head and turned around. As expected, she saw Brandon, his wife, and Clarice walking toward her.Although the Maddens had cut ties with Lyra, Brandon and his wife still had affection for her.It was widely spread that Lyra had committed suicide, so they got the news and came here."Lyra! My poor Lyra!" Mrs. Madden walked in front, stumbled, and cried sadly.Brandon took her by the arm. "Slow down. Be careful."Mrs. Madden grabbed his sleeve and shouted with scarlet eyes, "How can I slow down? Lyra jumped from the building to commit suicide. She is dead!"Brandon sighed, "I know that you're sad. Lyra is dead. I also feel sad. But please calm down. If you fall ill, I will be worri
Chapter 522 The Doubts Are DispelledSydney remained silent and turned away. She knew Brandon wasn't acting because she made up that excuse herself. She had to convince herself that she didn't help him out of concern, but rather because she didn't want him to cause her trouble and claimed that she made him fall.After all, Brandon and his wife were capable of doing so.Brandon didn't argue with Sydney because she wasn't saying anything, and he was in pain. Then he instructed Mrs. Madden to take him to the doctor right away for pain medication.Mrs. Madden wanted to teach Sydney a lesson and vent her rage, but she was aware of the status quo. Then, she only gave Sydney a sidelong glance before dragging Brandon away. Because Brandon was the family's rock, if he fell, a weak woman like her would lose the entire family fortune to the company's shady shareholders.Mrs. Madden helped Brandon out of here, but she was so rushed that she didn't notice Clarice staying behind.Clari
Chapter 523 The Pleasure of JulienJulien felt annoyed the moment he saw that the call was from Luke.But when he heard Sydney’s words, he became happy immediately.‘Since Sydney tells me who calls her, she doesn’t want me to misunderstand her, though she doesn’t notice it herself.’"Answer his call." Julien began to walk slowly. "He must have read the news of Lyra's suicide, so he calls you.""I think so, too." Nodding, Sydney answered the call and turned on the amplifier.As expected, Luke's loud voice came from the end of the phone. "Darling, have you read the news on the Internet? Lyra has committed suicide. Is it true?""Yes, it’s true," Sydney replied. "The police have informed me that Lyra did jump out of a window to commit suicide. I'm at the scene now.""What?" Luke gasped. "She has really committed suicide! I thought it was fake news deliberately fabricated by the media to grab people’s attention. I didn't expect Lyra to commit suicide!""Yes. No one expected it." Sy
Chapter 524 Macy and Kate"Have you found out the woman's identity?" Julien asked with a grim face. That was the most crucial question at the moment.Finn pushed up his glasses and answered, "Not at the moment. I took the woman's fingerprints and matched them with those in the database, but none of them matched, so you need to find out the woman’s identity yourselves.""It's going to be difficult." Sydney bit her lower lip.Sydney only caught a glimpse of the woman's face. The woman's face had been completely smashed. Finn couldn't identify her based on her fingerprints. It was hard to find out the identity of the woman.Just then, a police officer hurried in with some papers in his hand. "Sir, this is Lyra's visitation record."Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to the papers in the officer's hand."Give it to me." Julien stepped forward and took the papers.Sydney walked over and stood beside Julien. She tilted her head to read the record together with him.There were only
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
