Chapter 816 Madeline Was Stopped From Revealing Sydney's Biological ParentsThe reason Hunter fell in love with Sydney, besides Sydney's kindness, was that he saw the sparkle in Madeline's eyes.In the past, Sydney loved Julien, but she was hurt by the guy and ended up in divorce.In the upper class, so many women were hurt by men. Many women were more miserable than Sydney.Most women were depressed after they got hurt. Some of them even committed suicide.But Sydney was different. She quickly collected herself and moved forward with her life.Her eyes still sparkled. She didn't give up on herself or become depressed. She took over the shattered Skylight with resolution and expanded its business.Sydney didn't confine herself to one thing or be obsessed with one man.Even though she got hurt, she could collect herself and move on. She wouldn't give up on herself.Neither a relationship nor Julien was the most important thing to her. She would not give up her life for anything
Chapter 817 RegretHe worked for the government and knew that there wasn't such a regulation as taking the prisoner away from the adjournment. In such a situation, he had to make up a story to put off her doubts.He could tell that the bailiff was deliberately stopping Madeline from revealing the identities of Sydney's biological parents just as Sydney speculated.It was common sense that when a prisoner was not deprived of all political rights, he was entitled to free speech regardless of whether the court was during or out of the court sessions.The bailiff, however, interfered with Madeline's rights. There should be something behind it.It showed that someone had told those officials to keep an eye on Madeline and prevent her from revealing any information about Sydney's biological parents.As for who this person was, he had gotten an answer.Few people in Port City had such power. His father was one, and his father's political opponent was another.There was no way they wou
Chapter 818 JealousyHe had been occasionally curious and wanted to meet her.It was not an urgent issue, so he kept putting it off until six years passed. All along, he hadn't believed it was that important. It was just curiosity.He hadn't felt the urgency to meet her.As a result, he missed the best opportunity to win her heart and be with her.He really regretted it.If he had taken out some time to go and see her, it might have been a different story.Hunter suddenly moaned, leaned back, and covered her face in frustration.His action startled not only Sydney but also the other customers in the café. They couldn't help looking at him.Uncomfortable with so much attention, Sydney smiled awkwardly at them, cleared her throat, and whispered, "Hey, what's wrong?"Hunter forced a smile, weakly waved his hand, and replied in dismay, "Nothing, I was just lamenting a chance I missed and wanted to hit myself.""Ha?" Sydney was confused.Hunter shook his head. "Never mind, go ah
Chapter 819 Be Reluctant to Trouble Him"Did Madeline say anything unusual to me?" Sydney straightened her back and frowned. She asked Julien in return, "What do you mean?"She didn't understand why he asked her such a question.'In court, Madeline said some strange words to me indeed. Madeline asked me if I wanted to know who my biological parents were.'Did Julien mean that?'Of course, Julien felt Sydney's suspicion of him in her words. He lowered his head slightly and said calmly, "I mean if Madeline scolded or threatened you in court.""It turns out that you mean that."She was relieved in her heart.Originally, she even thought that he was afraid that she had gotten to know something.He compressed his lips. "That's what I mean. Then what do you think I mean?""Nothing special. I have overthought it." She waved her hand and said with a smile, "Of course, she scolded me. You know how she hates me. When she saw me, it was natural that she became emotional."He nodded. "R
Chapter 820 Treat You to a Meal"It's nothing. You're Julien's girlfriend, and if nothing goes wrong, he will be your husband. You won't owe him anything. That's what he should do, right?" Hunter shrugged his shoulders and said disapprovingly.Sydney shook her head. "In this world, no one is supposed to do anything for others. It is true that Julien and I are now dating and that we will remarry, but this does not mean that Julien should do anything for me. This idea is not right, and I am not the kind of person who likes to owe others favors. I always feel very uncomfortable doing so, and I can only be relieved after returning the favors.""I can see that." Hunter looked at her and expressed his agreement.Sydney smiled and continued, "I just said that I already owed Julien a lot before we got back together, so I don't want to owe him anymore. Now that he and I are back together, if I bother him with everything and owe him favors, I'll feel inferior to him in my relationship with h
Chapter 821 Hunter Was Dissed by JulienHunter went up to the top floor and arrived at Julien's office door.Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door next to Julien’s office, which was the special assistant's office, opened.Zach came out of it with a file in his hand. Zach was surprised to see Hunter standing in front of Julien's office. "Mr. Cohen?"Hunter raised his eyebrows at Zach and didn't say anything.Zach came to his senses. He asked as he pushed his glasses upward, "Mr. Cohen, what can I do for you? Are you here to see Mr. Flint?""Of course! Why else would I be here?" Hunter rolled his eyes at Zach and asked, "Is Julien here?"Zach realized he shouldn't have asked the question. He let out an awkward cough and replied, "Mr. Flint is inside. If you'd like to see Mr. Flint, please wait a moment. Let me tell Mr. Flint."Hunter narrowed his eyes, "What? Do I need to make an appointment with Julien if I want to see him?"Zach sensed that Hunter was unhappy, bu
Chapter 822 The Baffled Hunter Julien's words suggested that he did know who Sydney’s biological parents were. Hunter knew Julien was dissatisfied with his involvement in Sydney's matter, but he was not afraid of Julien. He spread out his hands with a smile and said, "Julien, you said this a little too late, didn't you? If you had said 'it has nothing to do with you' to me before I attended the court trial with Sydney, then I would have immediately left and would never ask about this. But you can't say 'this' to me now. In court, Madeline did not directly say it, but finished half of it, which caused Sydney to suspect all the same." "What did you say?" Julien straightened his back and asked with an unhappier face, "Leaf suspected it?""Yes!" Hunter nodded, "Madeline spoke of her biological parents, but the bailiff covered her mouth at that moment. It happened so coincidentally that anyone would suspect the bailiff was trying to stop her from saying it, right? As a smart lady, of
Chapter 823 You Helped HerJulien glanced at Hunter and said, "What Denna pulled off from her head is Sydney's hair."Hunter was stunned and asked, "What are you talking about? Did Denna have Sydney's hair on her head? Julien, are you kidding me? How could she grow Sydney's hair?" This was impossible!Julien said grudgingly, "Denna got Sydney's hair in advance and put it on her hairpin. So, she could take Sydney's hair down accurately at any time if she needed it, and then she could use it as her own hair for the paternity test."Upon hearing this, Hunter suddenly realized and said, "I see. Denna knew early that Sydney was Brandon's daughter, the real Clarice. She did it as a precaution, right?""Yes." Julien nodded.Hunter frowned and asked, "How did Denna know that Sydney was Clarice?"Julien said softly, "A red mole.""What?""A red mole on Leaf's wrist," Julien replied.Hunter widened his eyes and immediately responded, "That's the reason! No wonder Denna would knock Sy
