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 730 Clarice Fooled BrandonClarice did not speak but glanced at Mrs. Madden.It was obvious that she wanted Mrs. Madden to go out and talk to Brandon alone.After understanding Clarice's meaning, Mrs. Madden's face turned pale. She felt more miserable inside, but still, she forced a smile, "Clarice, I'm your mom. Can't I listen to your conversation with your dad?"Clarice looked away and avoided Mrs. Madden’s gaze.Clarice's behavior was like a knife stabbing in Mrs. Madden's heart. It hurt so much that she couldn't breathe.‘Clarice doesn't want to talk to me, to look at me, or to let me hear their conversation.'‘She...'Mrs. Madden covered her face and began to sob.Seeing this, Brandon, who had been staying out of the situation, frowned. He was not happy with Clarice.He understood that what his wife had said earlier had broken Clarice’s heart, so he did not intervene when Clarice threw a tantrum with her mom. But now, he felt that Clarice had gone too far.Altho
Chapter 731 Sean's ExpectationJulien walked over and sat next to Sydney. He extended his arm around her waist and landed a kiss on her cheek. "It's done.""Did you smoke?" Sydney smelled tobacco on him. She frowned and reached up to push his face aside.Julien froze. Then he lowered his head and sniffed himself, "Is the smell strong?""No, but I can smell it." Sydney shook her head.Actually, the tobacco on Julien was pleasant.But Sydney didn't like cigarettes, so she didn't like the smell."Why did you smoke?" Sydney asked as she poured ground coffee into the coffee pot, "Is something wrong? Are you in a bad mood? The phone call took you a long time."Julien picked up a glass of water and took a sip. "Nothing. It's settled.""Okay." Sydney nodded, not asking about it. She put the cap on the alcohol lamp to put out the fire. Then she poured two cups of coffee.She handed one cup to Julien. "It’s Blue Mountain coffee, the original flavor you like to drink. Taste it! It's the
Chapter 732 You Don't Believe Me!Sean felt a chill run down her spine at the thought of that possibility.She knew Luke hated her so much that there was no way he would let her keep the baby.However, after having the examination at the hospital, Sean was sure she was pregnant.If Luke knew about it, he would ask her to get an abortion, but Sean didn't want to. She wanted to keep the baby!Seeing Sean's terribly pale face, Sydney got worried. "Sean, are you okay? Your face looks awful."Sean bowed her head slightly and replied, "I'm fine.""Are you sure?" Sydney stared at Sean. She doubted it.‘How can she be okay when her face looks so pale?'"I'm fine, really." Sean reassured Sydney. Then she asked again, "Ms. Raines, you still haven't told me why Mr. Chase asked if I was abnormal. What did he mean?""I'm sorry, Sean. I'm not sure about that. I asked Luke, but he didn't tell me. He just said that something happened between you guys, so he asked me if you were abnormal late
