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 736 Clarice Sounded Sydney Out“...” Sydney had no idea what to say. After a long pause, she said uncertainly, “I thought it was luck.”“Yes, it was. But your constitution made it an easier thing,” Finn answered, sliding the pen into its top.Sydney looked down and touched her belly. She couldn’t believe that it was easy for her to have a baby. She had only heard of this before.Finn noticed Sydney lowered her head and looked sullen. Leaning back in his chair, he asked, “Why? You don’t look happy with your constitution. You know, many women are dreaming of it.”“Ha.” Sydney pulled the corners of her mouth to force a smile. “How can I be happy? I can’t even accept it.” ‘Fertile? Easy to have a baby? It makes me no different from a sow. I don’t find myself a single reason to feel blessed.’“Come on, you can make it. You love Old Madam, don’t you? Think about it. You’re very likely to give her a great-grandson before her death. Or would you rather see the Old Madam leave t
Chapter 737 Lovey-DoveyClarice's eyes rolled for a moment. Then she turned her head back and stared at Sydney with a jealous face. "You just said that I was the real Clarice and that the paternity test had confirmed it. Then why did Dad suspect you of being Clarice when he saw your press conference? As his daughter, how could I not be angry?""So that's how it is." Sydney raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth curled with disdain. "Then I can only say I'm wronged."Clarice grunted. "And who knows if you will impersonate Clarice after you learn of my father's suspicion?""Why should I do that?" Sydney wrinkled her eyebrows and looked at Clarice as if Clarice was a fool.Clarice bit her lip. "Of course, to cheat my parents and then get back at them.""Heh, are you stupid or am I stupid?" Sydney rolled her eyes. "Do you think that impersonating is that easy? Even if one can impersonate someone else for a while, they can't fool others for a lifetime. Sooner or later, thei
Chapter 738 The Origin of Julien's Family"I called you, but your phone was off." Julien's eyes fell on her bag, his tone a little accusing.He called her, and her phone was turned off.It would be strange if he were not aggrieved in his heart.Sydney understood the man's thoughts, and the corners of her mouth twitched. "Sorry, my phone happened to die at that time and I charged it when I got back into the car."Julien let out a snort without speaking.Sydney looked at him for a moment and then suddenly pulled his arm. "Are you angry?""No," Julien said with his head turned away.Sydney was speechless.He said he was not angry, but he pulled a long face.Her phone was just out of battery, so he couldn't get in touch with her. Did he have to be so upset?This man was getting more and more unreasonable.Although she thought so, Sydney still coaxed Julien. She held his arm and gently shook it. "Well, it's my fault for not checking the charge before going out. I will be more ca
Chapter 739 The Lady Turned out to Be His Cousin“Harrow?” Sydney blinked and then looked up at Julien. “I got it. You said just now that your grandparent's family didn't use Burke as their surname. So, your mother comes from the Harrow family, right?”“Yeah, you’re so clever,” Julien praised her.Sydney gave a smile. “You’ve given me such a detailed explanation. If I can’t guess it right, I’m really… Well, let’s continue the talk.”She waved her hand and added, “But there are quite a few big families with the surname Harrow in our country. Which Harrow family does your grandfather belong to?”“The Harrow family in Jackal City,” Julien replied.“Jackal City...” Sydney thought for a while. Then her eyes widened. “Is it the Harrow family that has a good relationship with the Sullivan family in Jackal City?”“Yes.” Julien nodded.That was also why Julien’s mother had fallen in love with Dallin.“It turns out that the Harrow family in Jackal City is your grandfather’s family.”“W
Chapter 740 Respect HerSydney didn't plan to hide it from Julien. She adjusted her posture and said, "I went to the hospital."Hearing that, Julien became nervous. He held her hand and examined her up and down. He asked worriedly, "Went to the hospital? Do you feel unwell?""It's not like that." Seeing that he was so worried about her, she felt warm and smiled brightly. "Dr. James asked me to have a reexamination and prescribed medicine for me.""So that's it." He was relieved, and his accelerated heartbeat slowed down. Then he asked, "Did Finn tell you your current physical condition?""Yes, he did." Sydney nodded."How is it? Have you recovered?" He looked at her, and his eyes were filled with concern.When she met his gaze, she thought of Finn's warning and flushed immediately.Seeing that she didn't reply but flushed, Julien arched his eyebrows. "What's up? Is it a secret?"She looked down and lowered her voice. "It's not like that."Seeing that, he became more intereste
Chapter 741 Move to Your PlaceSydney knew what he was talking about. And she was shocked. "You're saying Mrs. Madden still thinks I'm Clarice? That's why she acted that way?"Julien nodded slightly. "Besides, there is no other reason to explain why Mrs. Madden changed her attitude when she saw you."Sydney thought about it for a while. "You're right. I can't think of any other explanation for this. Mrs. Madden hated my guts until today, but I bet they know how ridiculous their suspicion is now. The real Clarice is right beside them, after all. They should have known I'm not the real Clarice.""Brandon has probably gotten over it and knows you're not Clarice, but Mrs. Madden hasn't figured it out. As I said, she still thinks you're Clarice. Women are always more sentimental than men when it comes to matters like this. In particular, she is a mother." Julien looked at her.He did not tell Sydney that even if Mrs. Madden knew Sydney wasn't her daughter, the thought that Sydney could
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
