Chapter 616 KowtowKnowing that this was a personal matter involving the Raines family, Sydney did not hope for Julien to be a part of it as she wanted to resolve it herself.Hence, he respected her decisions and was willing to wait for her here.She smiled at him before turning around to walk with Sean to her father's grave.Madeline was kneeling in front of the grave. Since she did not have an umbrella, her body was completely drenched from the rain, which made her look like a mess as her hair and clothes stuck to her skin.The cruel and savage expression on her face made her look worse."Sydney! " Madeline said through gritted teeth when she saw Sydney walking toward her. Then, she tried to stand up from the ground.However, as soon as her knees left the ground, the two bodyguards immediately pressed on her shoulders to force her down.With a loud thud, Madeline's knees slammed into the ground once again, making her shout in agony. "Let me go! I'm the vice president of Skyli
Chapter 617 You'll PayMet with Madeline's bewilderment and fluster, Sydney narrowed her eyes that were filled with coldness. "You're wondering how I found out, aren't you?"Madeline swallowed. Her lips parted, but no sound came out.Sydney snorted and said, "What is done by night appears by day. People talk, and I even know who gave you the medicine. Brandon, right?"Madeline's face changed again.When Sydney saw that, her fingers clasped and her heart sank.'So, it was really Brandon.'She had been suspecting Brandon, but there was no proof showing that he did it. Her investigation had yielded nothing. Just now, she was just probing. Madeline's reaction verified her assumption."Madeline, you are incredible. You join hands with the Madden family despite the hostility between the Madden family and the Raines family. You're a monster who murdered your father. You're rotten and have no conscience." Sydney vigorously flung Madeline's chin aside and stood up. With the handkerchi
Chapter 618 Julien's LieWhen Julien realized what she was going to do, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and then, he lowered his head. Sydney put the towel over his head and gently rubbed his hair.He had guessed it right that she was going to dry his hair, so he felt delighted and warm in his heart.But he soon raised his head, grabbed her hand, and said, "Stop it. Dry your own hair first. Don’t let it stay wet for too long." Sydney knew that he cared about her and was afraid she would catch a cold if her hair remained wet, so she was a little touched.She took her hand out of his grip, shook her head, and replied, "I'm fine. My hair isn't very wet, so I can dry it later. But yours is sopping wet, so I will dry your hair first."When he had held the umbrella for her just now, he had tilted it toward her, so he had been soaked.She had only been caught in the rain when it had just started, and he had soon come with the umbrella, so she had not been drenched.Therefore, his si
Chapter 619 Bought Them Especially for HimSydney looked at Julien and seemed to be hesitant.But as she saw the faint dark circles under Julien's eyes, she shook her head. "No. Just let him stay in the car and wait until he wakes up."He must be very tired these days. There were even dark circles under his eyes.It was better not to wake him up. If they carried him upstairs, they would interrupt his sleep.So, she decided to let him sleep like that for a while.Hearing Sydney say that, Sean didn't say anything else.Sydney raised her wrist and looked at her watch. "It's getting late. Just drive my car and go home."She handed her bag over.In the past two days, Julien had driven her anywhere she wanted, and her car had been parked in this garage.Now Sean could drive it.Sean didn't refuse it. She took Sydney's bag and then rummaged for the car key.After finding the key, she passed the bag back to Sydney. "Ms. Raines, I'm leaving then."Sydney said okay, thought of somet
Chapter 620 Help in the KitchenSydney nodded. "Well then, I'll make some home dishes. What do you think?""Good, I'll help." Julien stood up.Sydney looked at him with skepticism. "You want to help?""Yeah, why?" Julien asked back.Sydney touched the bowl and said, "You've never cooked before. Are you sure about this?"It was not that she looked down on him.Since he was born, he had been high-fed and had never done trifles.His hands were to hold pens rather than knives.So, she didn't believe he could be of any help.She hadn't done any housework since her childhood either. She learned to cook only under Velma's coercion during the six years of their marriage.Before they got married, she knew nothing about cooking.Met with Sydney's doubt, Julien pulled a long face and said, "I am sure."Never say never.Furthermore, he learned to cook refreshing soup through the internet when he was in Kingthene. So, he was not a total layman.'I can be of some help.'Julien though
Chapter 621 Julien Caused Even More Trouble"Clatter! Clatter!"At that moment, the pot on the stove suddenly began to rattle. Its contents had begun to boil and caused the lid to rise with the steam.Sydney heard the noise and quickly paused in her actions as she glanced at the stove. "The soup is done. ""What should I do? " asked Julien.Pointing at the knob on the stove, she told him, "Turn off the fire, stir the soup with the ladle, and set the pot aside for later. ""Alright. I'll do it. " After saying that, he walked to the stove.Sydney suddenly thought of something and said, "You only need to stir it. I'll move the pot later.”Since one of his arms was injured, there was no way he would be able to move the pot to another place with both hands.Julien also knew he couldn't move the pot, so he didn't refuse her and then turned off the stove.After that, he picked up the ladle next to the stove and went to remove the lid off the pot.Unfortunately, because he didn't kn
Chapter 622 He Was Just Pretending to Be Pitiful Zach figured it out, but he didn't say it clearly. He pushed his glasses and replied, "I see, Mr. Flint. I'll make arrangements." Julien hung up. Soon, the dinner was ready. Julien got up and went to the kitchen to help put the dishes on the table together with Sydney. He couldn't do anything else in the kitchen, but he could put a dish on the table. At least he didn’t drop the plates. Because of the limited ingredients, Sydney cooked a simple dinner, mostly from the deli. Although it looked simple, Julien didn't dislike it at all. On the contrary, he felt that such home-cooked dishes were more pleasing to him than the exquisite dishes made by star chefs because he could feel the presence of emotions in the dishes in front of him. Across the dining table, seeing Julien staring at the dishes without picking up his fork, Sydney guessed he thought the dishes she had prepared were too simple, so she said a little apologetical
Chapter 623 Sydney's Choice"Really?" Finn narrowed his eyes. Obviously, he had some doubts about Julien's words.Julien lifted his chin unhappily, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Sydney about it later.""Okay, I believe you." Finn fiddled with a scalpel and said seriously, "Do you know that Sydney sent Madeline to my place and asked me to help her extract the eggs?""Yes." Julien lowered his head.Finn fiddled with the scalpel more quickly, "Since you know that, I'll say it straight. I asked my colleagues from the obstetrics and gynecology department to do a detailed examination on Madeline. Her body is a bit special. Her eggs can't be taken out of her body.""What do you mean?" Julien frowned.Finn said, "She was born prematurely. And her reproductive system is not fully developed. Therefore, her eggs are too fragile and will be inactive once they are removed from her body, so they can't be shipped abroad for IVF."Julien pursed his lips. Obviously, he didn't expect tha
