Lyra lowered her eyelids to cover the dark look in her eyes, but her mouth replied in a panic, "I didn't. You've misunderstood me, Ms. Graham. I...""You don't have to say it!" Macy interrupted with a sneer. "Lyra Madden, listen closely. We're done. I'll never let you off. Just wait and see!"Macy hung up the phone right after she spoke.Lyra looked at the phone screen and pursed her pale lips.She had already seen the news of the Graham family's incident in the morning and had long prepared for Macy to blame her.However, she did not expect Macy's hatred for her to be so deep that she threatened not to let Lyra go.Lyra's palms shook and her heart began to get a little nervous.Although the Graham family had lost power and influence, they were still government officials, so they could still deal with her or the Madden family. Lyra had to do something about it.Thinking about this, Lyra bit her lower lip and pinched her arm hard, causing tears to flow immediately. She took her
"I don't know either." The receptionist shook her head.Sydney hesitated for two seconds. "Alright, I'll be right down."After ending the call, Sydney put down her phone and walked toward the elevator with her crutches. Sophie followed her.Sydney arrived at the front desk on the first floor and asked, "Where’s the stuff?"The receptionist carried a large box. "It's all here."Sydney looked at the box on the table. It was sealed, so she could not see what was inside. There was no information about who sent the box either.Sophie reached out and flipped the box around. "It's quite ready, President Raines.""Open it and take a look," Sydney instructed the receptionist.The receptionist took out a knife and opened up the box. They were immediately greeted with a variety of exquisitely packaged bottles and jars.Sophie took out a jar and looked at it in surprise. "President Raines, this is the most famous health care product abroad. It has a remarkable effect on bone healing. One
"What are you looking at? Just let him be if he wants to be alone," although Velma said that with an angry and disgruntled tone, she did not stop Julien from going upstairs.After all, Jayden was still her son.As a mother, how could she be cruel to him?Julien also knew this, so he went straight upstairs after he finished speaking."Jayden, open the door." Julien stood outside Jayden's room and knocked on the door.The door opened.Jayden's eyes were a little red as he looked at Julien. "Big bro.""Did you cry? Julien raised his brows.Jayden raised his arm and wiped his eyes roughly, replying awkwardly, "No."Julien's lips curled, but he did not expose Jayden. "Can I come in and talk?""Sure." Jayden agreed and let him in.Julien walked in.Jayden closed the door and followed him. "Julien, didn't you say last time that you’d convince Mom to let me play basketball? She's asking me to quit the basketball team every day and won't let me go to practice. The U17 basketball tou
In Flint Mansion.Jayden was also reading the letter.Although he read this letter several times, he could find something new from it every time he read it.In particular, the daily life and preferences of Buddy were really quite similar to that of his older brother.Of course, the most similar thing was Buddy’s handwriting. It was just slightly less right than his brother’s handwriting and slightly more relaxed.If he had not known that his brother’s pen pal was Lyra, he would have thought that Sydney was the one who exchanged letters with his brother.Jayden folded the letter and put it back in the envelope, ready to put it away.Sydney must have told him to throw the letter away because she was angry at him for taking it without her permission.He refused to throw it away. He would just give it back to her next time.Jayden snorted and put the letter in the drawer when there was a knock on the door. “Second Young Master, dinner is ready.”“Coming!” Jayden answered. He push
Julien was reading a report on his tablet when he heard these words. He frowned slightly.Lyra knew that Velma was trying to set them up and was very happy. However, her heart thumped when she saw the faint frown on the man’s face.“Julien, are you unwilling?” Lyra bit her lip and looked at the man.Julien’s thin lips moved slightly and he was just about to speak.Velma slapped her thigh. “Of course he is! It’s decided!”“Mom!” Julien frowned deeper. “That’s not good for Lyra. We’re not married yet.”Lyra’s face turned pale.Velma had already made up her mind, but he still refused.He was not showing her any respect!Jayden, who was leisurely eating apples on the sofa, was inexplicably happy when he saw Lyra’s unpleasant expression.“So, what if you’re not married yet? You’re engaged and will live in the same room sooner or later. You’re just staying together earlier.” Velma disagreed.Julien looked at the woman with her head down beside him. “It’s disrespectful to Lyra.”“
“Where to, President Raines?” the driver asked after Sydney got in the car.Sydney put her crutches to the side. “Downtown Stadium.”“Aye,” the driver replied and started the car.Skylight Corporation was about an hour’s drive from the stadium.However, it was close to the airport and a place notorious for its traffic jam in Port City.At this time, Sydney was stuck on the road.Time ticked by the second as Sydney was stuck in the jam, and it was already 4 pm.In the stadium, Jayden was standing on the court warming up in his number eight black jersey. He looked toward the audience on their side as he warmed up.When he saw that there was no one in the two seats that he had reserved, his youthful face was written with disappointment and gloom.What happened to them?Neither of them came!“Hey, Jay, what are you doing?” At this time, a teammate came over and tapped Julien’s shoulder.Julien shook his head and responded somewhat sullenly, “I’m fine.”“If you’re fine, then hu
In the men's washroom, Jayden cupped a handful of cold water and splashed it on his face. Then, he looked at himself in the mirror with red eyes.He knew that he did not play well in this competition. He did not give it his all.It was not that he did not want to, but that he could not. When he thought that they did not come to watch him play, he felt that it was meaningless, and he naturally did not feel any passion for the game."Liar. They said they'd come, but they didn't keep their word!" Jayden pounded his fist on the marble beside the mirror in anger. Tears welled up in his eyes.Suddenly, the phone in his pocket rang.Jayden took a deep breath, suppressed his inner anger, and took out his phone. "Hello?""Jay, the third quarter of the game is about to start. Are you ready yet?" his teammate asked.Jayden replied somewhat listlessly, "Yeah.""Then come back quickly."After saying that, the teammate hung up the phone.Jayden put his phone away and walked out.Just as h
The streamer said to her livestream enviously, "Did you see that? That couple is so sweet.""I saw it, I saw it. I'm almost full from all the sweetness.""ChiliPepper, hurry up and find a boyfriend as handsome as that guy. That way, you don't have to be envious of them.""Is the top comment serious? If ChiliPepper could find a boyfriend, she wouldn't be single until now!"The streamer ChiliPepper was both amused and angry at her fans' teasing. "Keep this up and I won't show you guys that pretty couple anymore.""No no no, we'll stop." The fans hurriedly surrendered.ChiliPepper snorted smugly and did not move the camera away. She continued to aim the camera at Sydney and Julien.Kate was also a fan of ChiliPepper. She learned many of her makeup techniques from ChiliPepper's livestreams.She did not expect to see Sydney and Julien in ChiliPepper's livestream now."Oh no, I have to tell Lyra!" Kate put down her tablet, picked up her phone, and called Lyra.Lyra was sitting in front of 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
