Julien’s thin lips moved, but he was struck speechless.That was right. The only one she had a grudge against was Lyra, so the only suspect was Lyra.“I’ll get to the bottom of this.” Julien’s shoulders shook as he put on his clothes.Sydney looked at him expressionlessly. “What about after you do? What will you do if Lyra Madden is really behind this?”Julien’s eyes darkened slightly. “It won’t be Lyra.”“Heh.” Sydney sneered. “You’re not answering my question. You haven’t actually thought of that possibility, have you?”A glint flashed in Julien’s eyes. “If it really was Lyra who did it, I’ll have her apologize to you.”“Another apology?” Sydney secretly rolled her eyes.Julien’s brows knitted into a frown. “What do you want then?”“This here says that I was the one who came in between you and Lyra six years ago. I would be letting the person who posted this Tweet down if I didn’t do as they say. So, what I want is very simple. If it really was Lyra who did this, I want you
At that moment, Jayden recalled the day before yesterday when his brother forced him to apologize to Lyra.He clearly did not do anything wrong, but his brother thought he was at fault just because she cried a little.The way she was acting now was almost identical to that time.While he was deep in his thoughts, he heard Julien's voice. "What are you standing there for? Let's go!"Jayden came to his senses and jogged over with a basketball in his arms. "Where are the reporters?""Julien sent them away," Lyra replied softly.Jayden then looked at her with mixed feelings, as if he was seeing through her.His gaze made Lyra uncomfortable, and she touched her face. "Jayden, why are you looking at me like that? Do I have something on my face?""No." Jayden looked away and shook his head.Lyra smiled." I thought there was something on my face.""Alright, let’s get in the car first. More reporters might come later," Julien said while taking her by the shoulders.Lyra nodded with a
"But... How am I supposed to save you?" Lyra’s finger drew circles on the railing in boredom, but her voice sounded worried.Kate sniffled. "Go plead with President Flint. He loves you so much. He'll definitely agree.""Okay, I'll try." Lyra nodded.Kate was moved to tears. "Thank you, Lyra.""Don't mention it. You're my friend." Lyra smiled, but it did not reach her eyes, which only had a hint of mockery.After the call ended, she lowered her phone and tapped on Twitter to read the comments scolding Sydney.She knew long ago that Kate was behind the matter. In their previous phone call, she deliberately told Kate that she promised Julien not to lay a hand on Sydney.Lyra knew that Kate would not be able to stand seeing her being wronged, and Kate did not like Sydney anyway. Thus, Kate would definitely try to do something to Sydney. This way, Lyra kept her promise to Julien, and her hands were clean. She just did not expect Kate to make such a big move.At that thought, Lyra ru
"You're right. I'll contact you later then, but let me send you back to Shallow Bay first. You can't drive with your foot like that anyway." Luke took out his car keys.Sydney did not refuse and simply hummed in agreement.In the car, she logged into her Twitter and posted a tweet: [Tomorrow, at 10 a.m., I will hold a press conference at my company to explain the feud between me, President Flint of Flint Corporation, and Ms. Madden of Trison Corporation. Please watch it."The incident blew up online. Many netizens were already paying attention to Sydney's Twitter, so now that they saw her post, they immediately started to comment.[Oh, is she trying to clear her name?][She must be. Rich people always use press conferences to clear their names.][Wicked people are always up to no good. It's a fact that you keep pestering President Flint. Heh.]Sydney's beautiful eyebrows furrowed when she saw the malicious comments, but she did not reply and exited the app instead. Out of sight,
Julien said that it was the fox man who kidnapped Lyra. He also said that the fox man was Sydney's suitor.Now that a fox happened to be on the list, it was enough to explain the man's identity."Fox man?" The man laughed. "So that's how you guys call me. It's quite good. I like that name very much."Sydney frowned when he admitted his identity. "It really is you. Who the hell are you?""I can't tell you that yet, but don't worry. I will never hurt you. You are my light. I will only protect you for the rest of my life," the fox man replied in a soft voice.Sydney heard the sincerity in his voice, and her face blushed.Was this person really her suitor?While she was in her own thoughts, the fox man spoke again, "Well, it's getting late. You should rest early. I'll contact you again next time. Goodbye!"With that, the man cut off the call.Sydney looked at the screen of her phone and had no choice but to put aside the questions she wanted to ask.Forget it. Since the man said
At the press conference, Sydney did not let Kate off as she continued, "Ms. Morgan said on the Internet that I continue to pester my ex-husband after the divorce. She also said that I came in between President Flint and Ms. Madden six years ago and took advantage of President Flint's kindness to marry him. I would like to explain these statements. Except for the last point, all of it is false!"The audience was shocked at her statement.A reporter stood up to ask a question. "Ms. Raines, in other words, are you saying that you really did take advantage of President Flint's kindness to marry him?""Yes." Sydney looked at the reporter and nodded, admitting it.Luke, who was standing by the side, was so anxious that he almost jumped to his feet. "Darling, what are you saying?"How could she say something like that so casually?In Flint Corporation, Julien could not help but frown.Even Hunter said puzzledly, "Although it's the truth, isn't she afraid she'll be bashed even more by a
[I think so too. Just like Ms. Raines said, President Flint could’ve rejected her, and she wouldn't have forced him. However, President Flint did not refuse. That means he willingly married Ms. Raines, and he emotionally abused her. I'm speechless.][I wonder whether President Flint really likes Ms. Madden. If he really does, would he have agreed to marry Ms. Raines? He would've waited for Ms. Madden to wake up, right?]Reading those comments, Lyra bit her lower lip fiercely while her eyes turned red in jealousy.She knew better than anyone who Julien actually loved. The person he loved had always been Sydney. He thought that he loved Lyra because she impersonated Sydney, the person who corresponded with him.If one day, he found out that the person who really corresponded with him was Sydney, he would immediately take back his feelings for Lyra and give them to Sydney.Meanwhile, Hunter also saw those comments and clicked his tongue. "Julien, I think you're a scumbag as well. I f
"Hello, Lyra?" Kate said sobbing, "What should I do? Sydney wants to sue me."Lyra did not expect Sydney to do that either and was overwhelmed for a while. "Don't worry, Kate.""How can I not worry?" Kate was so anxious that she jumped to her feet. "Once she sues me, there'll be a stain on my record. What will the people in the circle think of me then?"No one in the circle would accept a daughter-in-law with a stained record.If she could not marry into a wealthy family, she would not be able to help Morgan Enterprise. Her father would hate her and bring home his illegitimate daughter.The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became. Kate gripped her phone tightly. "Lyra, you have to save me. I did this for you."Lyra bit her lip secretly. She was a little sickened by Kate.Kate did it for her?She had only hinted to Kate to deal with Sydney for her, but she did not tell Kate to use that method.Although that was what she thought, she could not say it out loud and c
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
