Chapter 903 Sydney's ConsolationJulien's eyes widened when he heard that, and he suddenly turned around.His eyes were still crimson at that moment, but his pupils were trembling.He was thrilled by Sydney's words.He had thought that she was regretful that he didn't continue to be Dallin's shadow and turn back into that gentle man.Because of that, anger had built up in his chest. He had wanted to ask her if she really liked the former him.If his mother hadn't trained him into anyone, he would be upset but not angry to know that she liked his former character.That was the real him after all.However, the truth was the contrary. He had been trained to be like Dallin. It was unbearable if she missed the former him.It would be like she loved an illusory character rather than him.Fortunately, she denied it, which appeased his anger.The truth was that she loved him rather than an illusory character.Or else, she wouldn't have rejoiced that he didn't turn back into his old
Chapter 904 Disregard EverythingAnd his grandmother...Julien suddenly remembered her surprised yet relieved look when the old lady saw him six years ago.Back then, he had just received heart replacement surgery and planned to meet Leaf as promised.But Micah hypnotized him before he went to see her.The hypnosis brought about an immediate chance. He lost his gentleness but acquired loftiness.As far as he could remember, his grandmother acted strangely when she met him after his personality changed.Although she was surprised at the sudden change in his personality, she hadn't asked about the reason.Normally, when one's personality changes a lot, wouldn't people ask him about the cause?They would ask him what had happened.His grandmother hadn't done that. After the initial astonishment, she grabbed his hand and kept saying that it was good.At that moment, her eyes were red and tearful. Those were tears of joy and excitement.He had been confused by her reaction. Now
Chapter 905 Might Not Be Father and Daughter"Anything else from the police? What were they talking about?" Julien asked in a deep voice, pinching the bridge of his nose.Zach shook his head. "That was not mentioned. Dallin requested to meet Greta. Although the police couldn't release Greta, they granted his request since he is a major taxpayer. Therefore, they don't know what the two talked about, but...""Go ahead!" Julien frowned unhappily.Zach cleared his throat and quickly continued, "There's a strange message sent over by the police officer who took Dallin to see Greta. According to him, the two people seem to be superior and subordinate rather than father and daughter."Oh?" Julien paused from pinching the bridge of his nose and said suspiciously, "Superior and subordinate?""That's what the police officer told me. I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I'm not sure about the details," Zach replied seriously.Julien rubbed his thumb. "Did he mention why he thought so?""Y
Chapter 906 A Man Easily MovedSydney listened and nodded. "That's right. No matter what, you still have us by your side. We won't see you as anyone's substitute. Don't take it too hard, alright?"She looked at him.Her serious look sent a stream of warmth to his heart. Julien touched her cheek and said softly, "I know.""Okay, are you still upset now?" Sydney asked, grabbing his hand that was on her cheek.Julien shook his head. "No, not anymore. As you said, I've got you by my side."He was sad and angry when he learned that his mother had trained him to be like Dallin.He loved his mother after all.Then his anger subsided, and he calmed down.He started to reconcile himself to it since his mother had been gone for around 20 years.It was unreasonable to dwell on the past.Even so, anger and shame were still with him, and he put all the blame on Dallin.Whether he knew the secret or not, Julien would not let him go.Someone should answer for the mistake. Since his mothe
Chapter 907 Sydney's Self-ReproachA flicker of slyness flashed across her eyes.Julien's eyes captured it, and his heart lurched. On the surface, he remained calm and acted as if he hadn't noticed anything. "What is it?""She asked if you treated me well. If not..." Sydney curled her lips.Julien slightly tightened his grip on the glass. "What?"Sydney looked at his hand and smiled behind her hand. "To shut you out of the door, of course, and she advised me to break up with you."Julien's face darkened when he heard that.He naturally knew that Mrs. Chase wanted him to treat Leaf well.He was just not happy to hear the breakup part.It hadn't been easy to get her back, and this was an inauspicious expression.He didn't like to hear it."Well, how did you answer?" Julien asked gruffly, pursing his lips.Sydney giggled at the sight of his unhappy face. "My answer is naturally affirmative, or else she would have come over."As soon as Julien heard that, his agitation was gon
Chapter 908 Never RegretIf Sydney hadn't found out at the beginning, or if she had found out, but she hadn't encouraged Sean, Sean would possibly have had no courage to tell Luke how she felt about him.As long as Sean didn't confess her love and still treated Luke the same way as before, the result might be different.Looking at Sydney's face full of self-blame, Sean waved her hand and smiled, "Ms. Raines, don't be like that. You've done nothing wrong. You just wanted to help me, and even if you had not suggested that I take the initiative to chase Mr. Chase, I would have done it.""Oh?" Sydney sat up a little straighter.Sean lowered her eyes and smiled, "For a long time, Mr. Chase had not declared his feelings for you, so you were kept in the dark. I, as a bystander, was not clear whether you would agree to be with Mr. Chase, so I had always hidden my affection very well until Mr. Chase told you how he felt about you and you clearly refused him. I realized Mr. Chase and you wo
Chapter 909 Precious GiftsWomen who gave birth, miscarried, or aborted their children all needed to recuperate.This was very good for their recovery.However, Sean shook her head and refused. "No, Ms. Raines. I don't need to recuperate. As you know, I exercise regularly, so I am strong. As I said before, if I rest for a few days, I am afraid that I will be lazy and won't be able to adapt to intensive work, not to mention resting for a month."Sean smiled when she said this.Sydney frowned. "Which is more important, work or your health? Sean, I know you are devoted to your career, but you can't ignore your health for the sake of your career. It's true you are strong, yet you'll have an abortion, and it will hurt your body. If you come back to work immediately after the operation and your body can't hold on, your career can't continue."Sean lowered her head without saying anything.She knew that Sydney was kind to her.That was why Sydney tried to persuade her to recuperate af
Chapter 910 Something's WrongObviously, Sydney had known Julien would call.After all, he had asked someone to send these gifts to her, so how could he not try to find out as soon as possible whether the gifts he had prepared were proper or not?Thinking of this, Sydney didn't hesitate to answer the phone. "Hello?""Have you seen the gifts?" The man's low, pleasant voice came over the phone.Sydney sat down on the armchair, looked at the rows of gift boxes and bags, and nodded with a smile. "Yes.""So do you think they are appropriate? Do I need to add more?" Julien asked, sitting in a wooden chair in the old residence, slightly straightening his back.Sydney's mouth twitched. "Add more? Don't do that.""Why?""Why?" Sydney smiled wryly, "You prepared so many gifts. You want to scare Mr. and Mrs. Chase?""Did I?" Julien tilted his head slightly, obviously not feeling that he had prepared a lot of gifts.Sydney rolled her eyes. "For you, a wealthy boss, of course, they are n
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
