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 701 Julien's Surprise"My hair?" Sydney raised her hand to touch her hair. She quickly understood what Julien was asking as she felt her hands get wet. Thus, she dropped her hand and said, "It's nothing. I just got a little careless when I was washing my face."Julien nodded in response without asking any further questions. Then he grabbed Sydney's hand and walked toward his room. Suddenly, something seemed to pop up in Sydney's mind while she turned to look at Julien. "Don't tell me you didn't prepare a room for me.""No need for that." Julien smiled as he looked at Sydney. "My room is also yours, so you're going to stay with me.""I knew it." Sydney rolled her eyes at Julien.She did not find it surprising because she had expected something like that to happen.Julien might be held back by his pride to say or do what he had to sometimes, but he was shameless most of the time.And he would do anything to make Sydney sleep with him.Since he had already brought her to
Chapter 702 Madeline's SchemeJulien immediately frowned and asked in a grim voice, "What's the news?""It's been reported that Ms. Raines is not Harry Raines' biological daughter." Zach replied hastily."What?" Julien's back straightened immediately. His face was grim. "It's been exposed?""Yes.""How was it exposed? Who did it?" Julien asked sternly.Only a few people knew that Sydney was not Harry Raines' biological daughter.The Chase family and Julien's grandmother could not have exposed it. Besides them, there were only Julien and Finn.It couldn't be Finn. There was no reason for Finn to do it.What's more, Finn wouldn't betray Sydney.So, it was indeed very odd.Just as Julien was wondering who had exposed the story, Zach replied, "It's Madeline.""Who? Madeline?" Julien's eyes narrowed dangerously.Zach nodded, "Yes. It’s Madeline. She went online whining about Ms. Raines taking all the Skylight shares and making up stories about Ms. Raines bullying her since she
Chapter 703 Things in the PastFrom these bullet comments on the screen, Julien could tell that Zach had successfully prevented the issue from going popular.He turned off the video and rubbed his brow because he hadn't been relieved yet.After all, covering up the issue was not the solution. Besides, some people had already watched it.So, things should be resolved.While he was lost in thought, the bathroom door suddenly opened.Sydney came out in the black silk lingerie selected by him.With no shoes on, she stepped on the carpet and thus made no sound.If it weren't for the fragrance from her body, Julien wouldn't have noticed that she was out.Julien put his hand down from his brows and looked over.His pupils contracted when he saw Sydney coming up in the lingerie.She was fresh out of the shower. Still wet, her hair cascaded down to her white shoulders. A few strands drooped to her sexy collarbones and shook as she walked. The black nightgown was a stark contrast to h
