Chapter 693 A Gift for Granddaughter-in-LawThat was why the Old Madam fainted yesterday when she heard Zach say that Julien had heart failure.Sydney didn't know what the Old Madam was thinking. Hearing that the Old Madam knew that she and Julien had fallen off the cliff, she stood up and bowed to the Old Madam, "I'm sorry, Grandma."She thought that the Old Madam fainted after knowing that.After all, Julien had told her in the past that he wasn't going to tell the Old Madam about it for fear that she couldn't stand it."Grandma, that incident was planned by Burton Bennet from Jackal City. In order to deal with Cay, he kidnapped me. It had nothing to do with Julien. He got involved because he wanted to save me. And he almost died because of me. I'm really sorry. I almost made you lose your grandson." Sydney looked at the Old Madam with remorse.The Old Madam helped her up, "Syd, I know the whole thing, so I won't blame you. You didn't take the initiative to involve Julien in it
Chapter 694 The Malfunction of the Heater"I know." Sydney understood the Old Madam's intention. Then she nodded with a smile.The Old Madam looked at her and asked, "So, are you sure you don't blame Julien, Sydney?""Well, as you said, he wasn't in his right mind at that time, so there's no point blaming him. And he wasn't acting on his free will anyway." Sydney let out a sigh."You know Julien was hypnotized?" The Old Madam appeared surprised."Yes, I do. He told me earlier. I also confirmed it with Finn. After learning the truth that he was hypnotized, I decided to forgive him for what he did to me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let it go so easily." Sydney answered while flipping her hair.The Old Madam smiled and nodded. "That's right. I'll give you the bracelet now, Syd. I know I should have done this six years ago, but I'm glad that I finally give it to you. In the future, you can pass this down to your daughter-in-law.""No. No, Grandma." Sydney shook her head and did not w
Chapter 695 How Did You Get the Bracelet?Julien looked stunned.She had seen through him.But even so, he couldn't admit it.Julien lowered his eyes and coughed softly. "I wasn't.""Really?" Sydney stared at him, not believing his words. "I just saw that you were very happy. Is it because I can go to your place and stay overnight? If not, why else did you say that I'd better go to your place?""That's not what I meant," Julien argued.Sydney crossed her arms. "Is that so? Since you don't want me to go to your place, I can stay in a hotel tonight. Who says I'd better go to your place?""You can't do that!" When he heard Sydney say she was going to stay in a hotel, Julien became anxious.As she saw this, Sydney's eyes flashed mischievously, and she deliberately asked, "Why can't I?"Julien frowned and said with a serious face, "Hotels are not safe."Sydney wanted to laugh, but she managed to keep a straight face.She tried so hard."Who says hotels are not safe?" Sydney gru
Chapter 696 Hand Over the BraceletSydney's retort made Velma stunned. Velma's face was twisted.Yes, this bracelet was one of the Flint family's heirlooms, passed down to their daughters-in-law, and the Old Madam had kept it in the old residence.Since the old residence was heavily guarded, who could steal the bracelet?Even if someone stole it, would they dare to wear it openly?But since it was not stolen, then this bracelet...A possibility suddenly came to Velma's mind, but she could not accept it.The fat on her face quivered as she questioned once again, "Then tell me. How did you get this bracelet?"Sydney put her hand down and said calmly, "How else could I get it? Of course, Grandma gave it to me.""That's not possible!" Velma's voice instantly rose, her tone sharp and harsh.Sydney tilted her head to the side and covered one ear, her expression a little sullen. "Why were you screaming? How is it impossible?""You're lying, aren't you?" Velma approached Sydne, agit
Chapter 697 Sydney Acted InnocentSeeing Velma’s hostility towards Sydney, the Old Madam’s face was overcast with more discontent and anger.The Old Madam slapped hard on the blanket and asked coldly, “Velma, why are you looking at Syd like that? You want to kill her?”Facing the Old Madam’s reproach, Velma shivered with fear. She shrunk her neck right away and had no guts to glare at Sydney with hostility anymore. “Mom, what are you talking about? Why would I kill her?” she asked, with a forced smile.“Humph, you were glowering at Syd like you would almost rush to kill her,” the Old Madam sneered.Velma bowed her head and kept silent.She understood that the more she spoke, the more mistakes she would make, so it was best that she said nothing.Sydney couldn’t resist smirking at Velma, who had to zip her mouth and act weak before the Old Madam, with her eyes gleaming with pleasure as well.Velma caught sight of this and swelled with rage. "Sydney Raines, why are you..."“What a
Chapter 698 Warning to VelmaThe implication was that although Velma promised not to bully her now, she would still trouble her in private.In fact, that was what Velma had planned.She was embarrassed here. How could she not want to get the respect back later?She just didn't expect that Sydney knew her so well that she said out loud directly what she was thinking and even deliberately said it in front of the Old Madam.As a result, it directly killed her idea of bringing Sydney into the reckoning in private.Hearing Sydney's words, the Old Madam stared grimly at Velma and sneered, "How dare she? Syd, tell me immediately if she goes to you in private.""Okay, Grandma." Sydney took the Old Madam's arm and put her head on the Old Madam's shoulder with a smile. "Thank you for supporting me, Grandma."The Old Madam lovingly touched her hair, "You don’t need to thank me. You are my granddaughter-in-law, and I regard you as my granddaughter. If I don’t help you, who else would I hel
Chapter 699 The Old Madam Felt Sorry for Sydney"..." This question made Velma speechless at once. She felt choked.Who was more important?Wasn't the answer obvious?Julien had clearly stated that his stepmother was less important than Sydney in his heart.So how could she answer this question?Looking at Velma's complex expressions, Sydney smiled, "It seems that you have the answer in your heart. So do you still think I wouldn't dare?" Velma's body trembled slightly. But she did not dare to lose her temper, so she could only glare at Sydney. Sydney flicked her nails and added indifferently, "I'm warning you because you've raised Julien. No, it's not a warn, but just an admonition. Please be polite to me and do not offend me in the future. Otherwise, what I just said will happen to you.""You are just relying on Julien's love for you. So you dare to be so arrogant." Velma gritted her teeth. "If Julien doesn't love you anymore, would you still dare to treat me like this? So
Chapter 700 How About Using It as Our Newlywed Home"Let's go." Julien took Sydney by her arm."But…" Sydney held the bowl, still wanting to say something.Julien shook his head at her.She seemed to understand what he meant and handed the bowl to the Old Madam, "OK, Grandma. Tell me if you need anything.""OK." The Old Madam nodded benevolently.Sydney went back to the table, with her hand taken in Julien's.Julien handed her the fork, "Sit down and eat. I bought the dishes you love specially."Sydney took the fork and smiled warmly, "Thank you."They began to eat.After dinner, they stayed with the Old Madam for a while and didn't leave until about nine o'clock in the evening.When they arrived at the Cloud Building, Julien opened the door and made an inviting gesture to the woman beside him.Sydney grabbed the bag chain on her shoulder with both hands and bowed slightly, "Thank you."Julien frowned, "Don’t say that. This will be your home soon. You don’t need to say tha
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
