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 551 Sydney's Conversation With Luke's MotherSydney curled her mouth with a hint of indifference. "No!""Why?" Clarice's face stiffened.Sydney looked at her with cold eyes, "I won't work with you. You may excuse yourself.""Why?" Clarice was confused, "Lyra is your enemy. She will definitely take revenge on you. It will be easier to deal with her if we work together.""You're right, but I don't necessarily have to work with you." Sydney snickered, "Do you think you have any power? Even if you did, I wouldn't work with you. You betrayed me once. Do you think I'll trust you a second time?"Clarice choked for a moment. She had an ugly look on her face.Clarice knew as she had betrayed Sydney once, Sydney would never trust her again.But this time, she really wanted to work with Sydney because it was too difficult for her to find Lyra on her own.As Sydney said, Clarice didn't have any power or a lot of money. If she was going to find Lyra, she had to work with someone.And Sydney
Chapter 553 Sean's DeterminationSydney nodded her head. She was honest, "Yes."Luke's face instantly darkened, "What did my mom say to you?""She just talked about our relationship. She didn't say anything else." Sydney looked at Luke.Luke clenched his fists, "This is my business. How can she interfere?"Seeing Luke get angry, Sydney frowned, "Luke, your mother cares about us.""I don't need her to do that!" Luke was so angry that his face was all red."Luke...""All right!" Luke took a deep breath, tried to suppress his indignation, and said, "Okay, darling... No, Syd. Is it okay if I call you Syd?"Hearing Luke's new name for her, Sydney smiled and nodded, "Sure."Luke's face eased a bit at Sydney’s smile. "I'm sorry, did I scare you? My mom called me and said she had talked to you. She told me not to be obsessed with you. I was worried that she might say something rude to you, so I came to see you."Sydney nodded in a daze, "So that's what happened. Don't be anxious. She didn't sa
Chapter 555 A Person Who Had Undergone Plastic SurgeryShe remembered that she hadn't asked a flight attendant to bring her a blanket before she took the medicine and fell asleep.So, it was probable that Julien covered her with the blanket.As expected, Julien nodded. "I was afraid that you would catch a cold, so I asked the flight attendant to bring me the blanket."Hearing this, Sydney felt warm. "Thank you.""Can you stand up?" Julien looked at her and asked.Since she looked weak when she had just woken up, he was a little worried about whether she could walk.Sydney moved her legs. "Yes. Although the medicine against airsickness still makes me a little weak, as I stay awake, the residual effect of the medicine will gradually dissipate. So, it won’t affect me.""Okay, let's go." Julien took her bag.Sydney thought he would put it on her shoulder.But the next second, she saw Julien put her bag on his shoulder.Julien, almost 1.9 meters tall, was very handsome, looking like a king.
Chapter 557 She Saw Madeline AgainJulien smiled. When he was about to say something, he heard some noises.He narrowed his eyes, pulled Sydney and turned around suddenly. He rushed into the staircase and hid behind the fire door.Sydney wore a thin dress. He was afraid that she would feel cold if she leaned against the wall.Thus, as soon as he arrived behind the fire door, he put his arms around her waist, took her to gyrate and leaned against the wall by himself.Sydney was in his arms. She raised her hands to push against his chest."You..." She widened her eyes and wanted to ask what he was doing.Suddenly, he hushed her and said in a low voice, "Don't move. Keep silent."Seeing that he was so serious, she nodded subconsciously. Although she felt confused, she kept silent.As soon as she shut up, she heard some noises.A man and a woman were flirting and laughing.Through the door crack, she could vaguely see the man and the woman hugging each other and walking towards them. Besid
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
