Chapter 722 She Has Been Put in Prison“I know.” Julien reached out to hook her waist and gently pulled her into his arms. “But I feel distressed and even regret.”“Why do you feel regret?” Sydney looked up at him with confusion.Julien put his forehead against hers. “I regret that I didn’t protect you back then. If I had come to protect you when I read your letter and got to know that Madeline and Kaylie were bullying you, you would never have had such a terrible experience.”‘Moreover, Lyra would not have got the opportunity to cheat me, and I would have married Leaf earlier. We may even have children now...’Seeing his guilty expression, Sydney couldn’t help holding his face with both hands and squeezing it slightly. “Well, don't feel guilty. It’s not your fault. You were often hospitalized because of your heart back then. How could you come to me often? Don’t blame yourself. Moreover, I was just bullied by them for a while. After my father discovered what they had done to me,
Chapter 723 Can I Kiss You?"Why should I look at you?" Sydney didn't understand, so she looked up at Julien.Julien smiled, "If you look at me, you can temporarily forget about those people and be in a good mood."Sydney laughed, "You are too confident.""I just told the truth." Julien raised his chin slightly and said proudly, "I heard that people will be happy when they see beautiful things. Don't you think I'm handsome?" Sydney rolled her eyes at him, "You're too narcissistic.""Isn't what I said the truth?" Julien looked at her.Sydney moved her mouth, but she didn't know how to refute him because he was indeed very handsome and dignified.'In fact, it is rare to see a man like him.'Otherwise, it was impossible for Madeline to fall in love with him at a glance.'Madeline met Luke before, who is also very handsome. However, Julien is more mature and dignified, which can make a man charming and attractive to women the most.'"Why don't you say anything?" Julien lowered
Chapter 724 Get Under the Meeting TableAfter Sydney put her arms around Julien's neck, she opened her eyes and warned him, "Don't screw around. Carry me down to the ground and let go of me in case one walks in and sees us hugging each other. It will be embarrassing."He smiled and said confidently, "Don't worry. They won't see that."She looked at him. "Why?"He didn't reply. He put his right hand under her bottom and lifted her from the meeting table.Her bottom was soft and chubby. It felt good.He couldn't help but curl his fingers and pinch her bottom.She widened her eyes. "Julien, you…""Hush!" He put a finger against his lips and signaled to her to keep quiet.She compressed her red lips subconsciously and kept silent.Then he used his left hand to lift the tablecloth. Under her surprising gaze, he carried her in his arms and got down to the table.After they were under the meeting table, he let go of her.She looked at him in surprise. "You..."She was too surpris
Chapter 725 Hid and SneakedThen she glared at him. Her expression indicated clearly “Why are you laughing? How can you laugh? It’s all your fault. You pulled me to hide under the table and caused me to lose face.”Julien fondled Sydney’s cheek and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Don’t worry. We won’t be discovered.”“How can you make sure of it?” Obviously, Sydney didn't believe him.Julien opened his mouth to reply, but a voice was heard again.“No. No other people are in the conference room.” Alice looked around. “There’re only the two of us here. Did you hallucinate?”“I know there are only the two of us here, but I heard someone talking just now,” the other cleaner said. Then she waved her hand and added, “No, no, it’s not talking. It’s a groan. Yes, it’s a groan.”“A groan?” Alice blinked. “Why didn’t I hear it? Did you hallucinate?”“No. Absolutely not! I did hear a groan.” The other cleaner shook her head firmly.“That’s strange. There are n
Chapter 726 Two Childish Men"No. I'll stay here with you." Julien said as he went to the couch and took a seat.Sydney didn't chase him out. She went back to her desk. "Sure. As long as you're not bored out of your mind." "Do I look like the kind of guy who can't sit still?" Julien chuckled as he poured a cup of tea for himself.Sydney smiled at him, but she said nothing. Then, she took out her phone and made a call.When Julien saw her putting her phone against her ear, he rubbed the side of the cup. "Who are you calling?" Since the call hadn't been answered, Sydney took a second to answer him, "Luke."Julien frowned. "Luke?""Yes.""Why are you calling him?" He sounded jealous. He knew Luke had given up on Sydney, but he knew Luke still had feelings for her.Thus, Julien disliked Luke.Sydney knew why Julien had a long face. Then she shook her head helplessly. "I want to thank him. He's the first one who tried to clear my name right after Madeline defamed me on the in
Chapter 727 Luke's Concerns Julien, who won the quarrel again, was very contented and happy now, so he was willing to give Luke a break. He coughed and then said to Luke on the phone proudly, "All right, since you..." "Give the phone to Syd." Luke didn't want to listen to Julien anymore, so he interrupted Julien directly. Julien frowned. "Do you want to tell Sydney? Then you will be disappointed. She heard what we said just now." "You're thinking too much. I'm not that useless." Luke snorted. ‘Tell Sydney?’ Luke wanted to tell Sydney their argument, but he knew it was useless because she would not ask for justice for him and teach Julien a lesson. ‘As Julien said just now, she heard the conversation between us, but she didn’t say anything.‘What does this mean? It means she doesn’t want to be involved in our argument, so I might as well not tell her at all.’ "I'm glad you know you're useless." Julien snorted and said. Luke closed his eyes hard and took a deep breath
Chapter 728 I Can't Be HerOf course, this was only his guess. He still had to verify it.Seeing Julien's tight frown and serious look, Sydney couldn't help but get serious. "Julien, what's wrong?"Julien raised his eyes to look at her. "Ask the court.""Why?" Sydney tilted her head in confusion.Julien said, "I have a suspicion that needs to be verified, so I have to know if Brandon has contacted the court to check on your adoption approval or to ask about your adoption back then.""What?" Sydney was even more puzzled. "Why would Brandon ask that?""You'll know if you contact the court." Julien didn't answer her question. He just told her to hurry up and contact the court.Sydney had no choice but to take out her phone and do as she was told.Two minutes later, she put down her phone with a serious expression and looked up at Julien. "You are right. Brandon sent someone to ask. What exactly are you suspecting?"She was curious about it.Julien put his hand on the top of her
Chapter 729 Mrs. Madden Was HurtJulien's eyes flickered. He hugged Sydney tighter. "It's okay. I just thought of something, but it's nothing important.""Okay." Sydney snuggled quietly into his arms. Since Julien said so, Sydney stopped asking.Although she sensed that something was on Julien’s mind, since he didn't want to talk about it, she wouldn't ask."Okay. I'm going to make a phone call. We'll have lunch together later." Then Julien released Sydney.Sydney got up from his lap and nodded, "Okay, go ahead. I'm going to call Hunter and thank him.""Don't talk to him for too long. Just thank him and that's all." Hearing that Sydney was going to call Hunter, Julien stopped, turned around, and warned her. Certainly, Sydney knew why Julien said that. He didn't like her talking to other men for too long.Any time Sydney was on the phone with Luke, Julien had to keep an eye on her, not to mention Hunter.Sydney waved her hand with a wry smile, "All right. Go make the call."As
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
