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
Chapter 733 Clingy Man"No!" Julien's forehead pressed against hers, and he looked at her seriously, "You trust me from the bottom of your heart, but I need you to say it to me. Otherwise, I can't rest my mind at ease. You have to promise me."Met with his adamancy, Sydney had to agree, "Okay, I believe you, alright?"Julien smiled with satisfaction.Sydney found it both funny and annoying. She pinched his face and said, "You're acting like a child.""I'm like this only in front of you." Julien chested out.Sydney was amused. "You look proud.""Why not?" Julien lighted his chin, "I take it as your compliment."Sydney shook her head. "I'm not complimenting, but you can think it that way.""Thank you." Julien picked up his coffee and had a sip.Then he remembered something and added, "By the way, you've had the factory assemble the first batch of goods after the machines were shipped over from Kingthene, right?"Sydney hummed, "Yeah, the final goods are quite good.""Have you
Chapter 734 Mrs. Madden's Strange BehaviorShe reckoned it would be three or six months.After getting Sydney's confirmation, Finn nodded slightly. "I see.""Why are you asking, by the way?" Sydney was curious.Finn pushed his glasses. "Don't you want that woman to have an offspring for the Raines family? In that case, she can't stop her medication. Otherwise, when she is released from jail, she will need time to recover, and you'll have to wait for a long time."Sydney nodded. "I see. Thanks for the heads-up. I'll talk to the police.""Alright," Finn hummed and added, "and you should come to the hospital for a reexamination. I presume you're running out of the medicine I prescribed you."Sydney replied with a smile, "One day's dose is left.""As I expected." Finn twirled his scalpel, "Come over if you're free.""Okay, I'm not busy this afternoon and will come over at about three." Sydney checked the time on her computer.Finn also glanced at his computer. "Come straight to t
Chapter 735 Sydney, Have a Baby with JulienSince she was an enemy, there was no need to say goodbye.Sydney thought so open-mindedly, but Mrs. Madden in the elevator was not that calm.Her face darkened as she watched Sydney get out of the elevator without even looking back. She felt inexplicable loss and grievance in her heart."Well, she didn't even say goodbye when she left. She really has no parents… no manners!”Mrs. Madden clenched the handle of the thermos bucket and muttered in a sour tone.She wanted to say, “She didn't even say goodbye. She really had no parents to teach her how to be polite.”But she didn’t know why she couldn't bear to say it in the end.Mrs. Madden just kept watching Sydney go away until she disappeared. When the elevator door closed automatically, she lowered her eyelids a little reluctantly.She could have pressed the Close button of the elevator directly after Sydney went out.But looking at Sydney's back, she couldn't make a move.She even t
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
