Chapter 540 Velma's True Thoughts"It is a high-quality counterfeit?" Julien's face clouded over. He was in a bad mood.Zach felt what Velma had said was ridiculous and didn't know what he could say.'It is a counterfeit of Azure Heart?''It's impossible. She is lying.'Julien and Zach realized that she had lied, but she didn't know that. She thought she had convinced them and nodded. "It's a high-quality counterfeit. I bought it in the mall and spent thousands on it.""Mom, do you think that there is someone who can counterfeit Azure Heart?" Julien looked at her with a poker face.After Velma heard that, her heart did a flop-flip. She panicked. "What... do you mean?"Julien compressed his lips and said coldly, "As soon as Azure Heart was designed, it went up for auction. There are no pictures of Azure Heart in the market. Outsiders only know Azure Heart is invaluable, but they don't know what it looks like. Thus, please tell me how the mall saw Azure Heart and counterfeited it
Chapter 541 The Reason Why I Don’t Like Sydney "What do you mean?" Julien squinted his eyes. ‘What my father experienced? What happened to my father?’ Mentioning Alexander, Velma became sad and lonely. She sat down with her hand on the armrest of the sofa, her eyes were a little dazed, and her face, which had always been snobbish and mean, turned gentle and even looked somewhat guilty. "More than a decade ago, when I married your father, what we got were not blessings but ridicules. No one in your father’s circle accepted me, and your father became a joke in his circle just because he married me, who had no background, no education, and was not good at all aspects." Velma stroked the ring on her ring finger. The ring was a platinum diamond ring, but it was not shiny at all but gray and looked very old. It could be told that it had been worn for many years and had never been taken off to wash it. The ring was a little small for her, dividing her ring finger into two parts and bu
Chapter 542 Pay Julien BackVelma couldn't believe that in Julien's mind she couldn't compare to Sydney.She couldn't believe she had lost to Sydney!Velma collapsed abruptly onto the couch as if she had suffered a huge blow. She fell into a trance, staring fixedly into space.Julien's eyes darkened at his mother's behavior. He then beckoned Zach and asked the assistant to take him upstairs.Zach hurriedly did as he was told.Soon, they were upstairs.Zach opened the door to Julien's room and wheeled him inside. "Mr. Flint, your mother looks sad about what you just said."Julien answered in a nonchalant voice, "There are things that cannot be avoided. It is good to let my mother know how I will treat her and Sydney, so she'll treat Sydney with respect and stop picking on Sydney.""You're right." Zach nodded.Julien then took the Azure Heart out of his pocket and instructed Zach, "Go get a cup of cleaning solution."Julien's mother had worn the necklace, so he couldn't give it
Chapter 543 The Rings Were Bought by the Two of ThemComing to the walk-in closet, Julien went straight to the cabinet where his watches, tie clips, and other luxuries were kept. He put the box into the cabinet.After that, he withdrew his hand and prepared to go out.But the next second, seeming to have remembered something, he pulled open a drawer and took out another black velvet box.The box was palm-sized.Julien opened the box with one hand, revealing two rings inside.The two rings in different sizes were his and Sydney's wedding rings.Julien looked at the two rings. His eyes flashed. He then picked up one of the rings, turned it over, and stared at the Flint family's totem engraved inside with a slight smile.Sydney thought that their wedding rings were bought by her.However, this pair of wedding rings were bought by the two of them, and she did not know about it.That was why these two rings had the Flint family's totems on them.Six years ago, after he agreed to
Chapter 544 Have a Talk with Luke"You..."The faces of Stephen and the others turned red in anger for what Sydney had said, but they could do nothing.After all, what Sydney had said was true. She was the biggest shareholder. Although she was just the vice-president, she had more privileges than them.No matter how disgruntled they were, they had to bear it.Sydney looked at the sullen Stephen and sneered in her heart.'How dare you make things difficult for me? Who do you think you are?'She looked away and glanced at Luke who sat not far away.He lowered his head. She couldn't see his expression.But she could feel that he was absent-minded. She sighed and pulled out the chair. "Alright, let's start the meeting.""OK." The others nodded and opened the documents in front.The meeting lasted for two hours and was finally over.Stephen left with his men first.On the contrary, Sydney sat on the chair motionlessly. It seemed that she didn't plan to pack up her things and le
Chapter 545 You’ve Done the Right ThingHearing that Luke might have an accident, Sean became worried. She didn't say anything and turned around to chase Luke.After Sean left, Sydney sat down again. Feeling tired, she rubbed her brows. Then she picked up her phone and sent a message to Julien. “Do you think what I’ve done is right?”Julien was reading documents with a pen in his hand. When he heard his phone ding, he put down the pen and documents and picked up the phone to check the message.When he found that the message was from Sydney, he smiled and tapped WhatsApp to read it. The moment he read Sydney’s question, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. He didn’t know what she meant, so he called her immediately.Sydney was waiting for Julien to reply. But unexpectedly, her phone rang. She was so frightened that she almost dropped her phone."Hello?" After calming down, Sydney answered the call and raised her phone to her ear.Julien's deep and caring voice came from the end of
Chapter 547 Finn's TipBut Julien did, actually, take advantage of Sydney on purpose.Also, indeed, he was just about to fall down.But when he saw Sydney reach out her hand towards him, the idea of holding her in his arms suddenly came to his mind.So, the moment Sydney took his hand, he used the opportunity to pull her into his arms, so as to accomplish his goal of getting intimate with her today.Julien planned to get close to Sydney every day, so she would get used to it and accept his intimacy with her afterward.Sydney got out of Julien's embrace, straightened her clothes, looked at Julien, and asked with concern, "Julien, are you okay?"Julien shook his head slightly, "I'm fine. I have you. I'm sure you won't let anything happen to me, just like I won't let anything happen to you, right?"At his question, Sydney nodded without hesitation, "No, I won't let anything happen to you. I will do everything in my power to protect you."Julien had helped her so many times and saved her l
Chapter 549 Sean's Strange BehaviorHearing that his arm would still be hung from his chest, Julien frowned, as he didn’t want to hang his arm. But in the end, he didn't complain."I'll get some water to clean your arm," Sydney said, looking at the remaining plaster on Julien's left arm.Julien couldn't endure the plaster covering his arm, and he agreed. "Okay."Sydney loosened his arm and went to the bathroom.As soon as she left, Julien returned to his usual indifference immediately and didn’t pretend to be enduring pain.With his arms crossed, Finn asked with a half-smile, "Well, do you stop pretending to be weak?"Julien glanced up at him, not wanting to answer him.But Finn added, "You really shocked me. I didn’t expect that you would pretend to be weak to arouse her sympathy.”"Only in this way can I approach her, and she won't push me away," Julien explained in a low voice.Finn smiled. "You’re quite lowly in love."Julien lowered his eyes. "As long as I can make up for the mist
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
