Chapter 654 The Gift Was Thrown AwaySydney didn't say anything. She just hugged him tighter.In her eyes, he used to be gentle, and now he was cold and domineering. Although his personality changed dramatically, he was never vulnerable.The truth was, however, that he wasn't always vulnerable.The strong and seemingly impeccable man had such a fatal weakness. It could be imagined what a great blow he had suffered when witnessing his mother's suicide. Every year, on the day of his mother's death anniversary, his personality changed greatly.If he couldn't get through it, he would still be like this for the next decades.If his enemies or the Flint Corporation's rival knew about it and took advantage of it, it would be fatal for him.Thinking about it, Sydney felt more sympathy for Julien.Julien felt it. His eyes darkened slightly for a moment and soon returned to normal. He gently rubbed his chin against her shoulder, whispering, "Don't worry. I'll be fine."He meant that he
Chapter 655 Julien's BirthdaySean threw her head back and smiled bitterly. "Yeah, I'm foolish, but every woman in love is like this. Ms. Raines, you were too."Sydney didn't know what to say.Indeed, every woman in love was foolish. She had been like that too.Looking back, she found herself so stupid but did not hate her former self.Her former self was pure and free from hardships. She had been devoted to only one thing, which was loving Julien and waiting for his response.Sometimes, she missed her former self because now she could no longer be devoted to one person.She was sober now.She would not lose herself, her dignity, and her thoughts for love.Those who were truly in love should be equal. They should sacrifice for and support each other. When they were no longer in love, they would not hate or owe each other.She had made this clear with Julien.They were together because their love was mutual.If either of them no longer loved the other, he should tell his par
Chapter 656 A Funny Emoji'A gift?'Julien fell into a trance. Then he chuckled and replied. [Julien: Do you want to give me a gift?][Sydney: Your birthday is coming.]Only then did he remember that his birthday was coming indeed.No wonder she asked him what kind of gift he wanted.Julien texted gently. [As long as the gift is from you, I will like it.]He didn't expect her to remember his birthday.She even would like to give him a gift.The more he thought about it, the brighter his smile became.There were some employees of Flint Corporation in the parking lot. When they saw Julien's bright smile far away, they were all surprised.It was widely known that Julien always pulled a poker face. Some employees, who had worked in Flint Corporation for ten years, said that they had never seen Julien smile. They even suspected if he knew how to smile or not.However, now they saw him smiling, and his smile was so bright. It was shocking.He looked so handsome when he smiled. H
Chapter 657 A Hand-knitted ScarfThey were afraid that Mr. Flint would also ask them to stay here if they did not go away immediately.At that time, something terrible would happen to them!Soon, in the corridor, only Julien and the male secretary were left.The male secretary didn't dare to look up at Julien but kept looking down. His body was trembling slightly. Obviously, he was very afraid of Julien, who looked down at him and asked in an indifferent voice, "Did you just say that your wife gave you a gift?"The male secretary was stunned for a moment when he heard Julien's question, then raised his head and asked in surprise, "Mr. Flint, do you just want to ask this question by asking me to stay here?" Julien nodded.The male secretary immediately breathed a huge sigh of relief, and the tension and apprehension in his heart disappeared at once.His trembling body returned to normal at this moment.He exhaled gently and said with a calm voice, "Yes, Mr. Flint, my wife has
Chapter 658 Knit a ScarfEven his means might be harsher than Cayden's."Got it," Hearing Burton's fate, Zach sighed in his heart.It seemed that they had underestimated Cayden's abnormality.Cayden appeared to be a mild and sunny young man, but his means of revenge were so ferocious.But Burton had asked for it. All this was because he kidnapped Ms. Raines.He knew how important Ms. Raines was to Cayden, but he had got some nerve to kidnap her.Well, that was the end of Burton, and he deserved it."By the way, how's your investigation on Dallin? Julien lowered his eyes and asked in a low voice.Zach pushed his eyeglasses, "Same old Dallin. He goes fishing, plays chess, or stays at his villa every day. I didn't notice anything strange about him."Julien narrowed his eyes, without saying anything.In his opinion, the strangest thing about Dallin was that Dallin did nothing strange.Dallin was her mother's first lover, and the two of them loved each other very much when they
Chapter 659 Look for JulienSydney stood up from the sofa and stepped swiftly to the room. "I know, Grandma. Don't worry. Even if you don't call me now, I'm gonna go there.""That's great. Go quickly, Syd. Call me if anything happens," said the Old Madam.Sydney nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry, I will.""OK, then I'll leave Julien to you." the Old Madam clenched her cane in one hand and her mobile phone in the other, her lined face full of expectation. "We must stop Julien from doing something stupid. It'll be great if you can try and straighten him out so that he can move on from his mother's suicide.""I'll try my best," Sydney replied.The Old Madam hung up the phone in satisfaction.Felicia, who came in with a cup of tea, said with a smile at the sight of the Old Madam's expression. "Don't worry, Old Madam. We can count on Ms. Raines. She'll certainly help Mr. Flint step out of the shadows.""I hope so." The Old Madam took a sip from the tea cup and sighed, "It's not that I
Chapter 660 UnconsciousHearing Zach's voice, Sydney immediately came out of the room and walked to the study.Zach pointed to the study, "Ms. Raines, Mr. Flint is here."Sydney nodded and poked her head to see Julien.Sitting on the floor, he was leaning against the desk, with his head slightly lowered. Sydney couldn't see the expression on his face. Nor did she know if he was asleep or not.Sydney pursed her lips, walked in, and gradually saw him clearly.His clothes were crumpled, and his tie was hanging loosely around his neck. The collar of the white shirt was dirty. Obviously, it was stained by wine. His hair was messy, and he looked disheveled and wretched, like a tramp.Seeing this, Sydney was suddenly very worried.She hurriedly came to Julien and smelt a strong smell of alcohol on him.Frowning slightly, she almost intended to fan herself with her hand. However, she resisted the urge to fan herself, squatted down, and lifted Julien's head.He was frowning with his e
Chapter 661 The Old Madam FaintedSydney took the blanket and put it over Julien’s body.She asked Zach to turn on the heat in the study. Then she was a bit relieved.See Sydney being so thoughtful to Julien, Zach was happy for Julien.‘What Mr. Flint had done for Ms. Raines was worth it!'Sydney had no idea what Zach was thinking. She sat next to Julien and looked at him.Julien's face was red from the alcohol, but he had dark circles under his eyes. Apparently, he had been up all night and had been drinking last night.He only drank red wine. Otherwise, he would have been in the hospital by now, even if he wasn't dead.Sydney couldn't help but shiver at the thought.Suddenly, her cell phone rang.Sydney collected her thoughts and took the phone out of her bag.It was Julien's grandmother. The Old Madam should ask about Julien's condition, so Sydney answered immediately, "Grandma.""Syd, have you seen Julien?" On the other end of the line, Julien's grandmother sounded anx
