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
Chapter 662 Who Was Julien Apologizing ToAt that moment, Julien was dreaming back to his childhood.He went upstairs to call his mother for breakfast as usual.Usually, when Julien knocked on the door, his mom would open it and smile at him.However, this time, no matter how hard he knocked, the door did not open, which made him have a sinking feeling.Julien then asked the maid to get the backup key and opened the door to his mom's room. Once the door was opened, Julien smelled a strong smell of blood. The smell came from the bathroom.Julien's face instantly turned pale. He froze for a few seconds. Then he rushed to the bathroom.The bathroom door was open. As soon as he reached the bathroom door, he saw the awful scene inside.Her mother was lying in the tub. Her face and body were splattered with blood.She had one hand dangling from the tub, with a blade in it, and her other hand in the tub. The water in the tub was reddened with blood.Julien's mother's body was stif
Chapter 663 Psychological Shadow“It won’t work...” Julien shook his head.In fact, he was not unaware that something was wrong with his psyche. But he did not think that his situation could be understood by a psychiatrist.Hearing these words, Sydney instantly frowned unhappily, “How do you know? You haven’t even tried, so how do you know it won’t work?” Julien closed his eyes, “My mom...regretted giving birth to me...”“What?” Sydney was first stunned for a moment and then looked at him, puzzled. “You said that your mom regretted giving birth to you?” Julien remained silent. Sydney shook her head, “How could it be? It’s absolutely impossible! How do you know that? I heard from your grandmother that you and your mom were very close to each other and that your mom was very gentle.”So how could such a mother regret giving birth to him?But looking at his expression, it seemed that it was not a lie.So, what was going on? Julien still closed his eyes without saying a word. Seeing
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
