Chapter 916 The Old Madam’s Intention“I understand,” Julien nodded.The Old Madam beat her breast and added, “I couldn’t bear it anymore after your dad passed out drinking because of your mother. I went to her and asked her why she didn’t keep her word and what she wanted. Why didn’t she agree to annul the engagement since she didn’t think much of Alexander? Why did she marry into our family? We certainly had given her a chance: she could get back together with Dallin after the annulment of engagement, and the Flint family would pull the Harrow family through the trouble. She, however, had refused to consent. After the marriage, she accepted our help but treated Alexander...”‘It’s not acceptable for anyone, is it?’Julien cast his eyes down and made no further reply.He knew that his mother’s actions were incorrect or even immoral.But he, as the son, could not directly criticize his mother.She was the one who gave birth to him even though he had few affections for her.The O
Chapter 917 Persuading the Old Madam"That's right," the Old Madam said resignedly. "I was angry at that time. I believed your mother, and I thought even if she didn't love your father, you were her son. Because of the responsibility for you, she stayed in the Flint family and didn't immediately divorce your father. So I thought she would treat you well, but I didn't know she made you a stand-in for that man out of selfishness. You are my grandson and the third-generation heir of the Flint family. How could you become a stand-in? Even if you were just a child of an ordinary family, I believe you wouldn't want to become a stand-in for anyone, right?"Julien nodded his head. "Yes."This was his pride.It was also the pride of any person.Every individual was unique and unwilling to be a stand-in for anyone else.This was true for both the rich and the poor."So how could I stand it?" The Old Madam pestled her cane. "I took you away from the Flint Mansion on the pretext that I need
Chapter 918 He Comes by HelicopterStanding there, Felicia waved to him as she saw him leaving. Not until his car was far away and out of sight did she put down her hand and turn around, walking into the old residence. Julien had been looking at the rearview mirror in the car. Only when the old residence had disappeared in the mirror did he push the button to close the car window. Then he picked up his phone, found Sydney's phone number, and dialed it. Sydney had been waiting for Julien at Skylight Corporation.Now there was just half an hour to seven, but Julien did not show up. Thus, she was inevitably worried if he had finished the meeting with Grandma or if something was stopping him on the road. After being hesitant for a few seconds, Sydney was about to call Julien and ask about his condition. Suddenly her phone on the desk rang. She turned her head and saw "Julien" dancing on the screen. Only then was she relieved. She had a smile, picked up the phone, put it at her
Chapter 919 What Can You Do to Me?"I won't lie to you." Julien looked at Sydney with a smile. "In order not to let you, Mrs. Chase, and Mr. Chase wait too long, I chose the helicopter. It was the fastest way."They had decided to reach the Chases' home at seven. When he left the old residence, it had been half past six. He was clear that no matter what he did, he could not reach the Chases' home with her at seven. Although they were late, he chose to do something to make up for it. He asked someone to fly a helicopter over and carry him to Skylight Corporation. At least, they could go there together a little earlier. They wouldn't be so late. "I didn't expect you to come over this way. When you said you would be here in about ten minutes, I didn't believe it!" Speaking of this, Sydney shrugged and said, "It seems that in the future, no matter what you do, I'll have to view it in a slightly higher dimension. Only by doing that can I get closer to the truth."She raised her h
Chapter 920 So Ashamed"You…" Sydney was so angry at his shameless words that she couldn't utter a word. Then she knew that this fu*king man was never willing to put her down. Carried by him like this, she felt her belly uncomfortable. She was ashamed and angry, but didn't dare to struggle too hard. She was afraid not only that he would grab her, making her fall, but also that she would grab his arm. Thus, she had no choice but to let him carry her. Soon, with Sydney on his shoulder, Julien came to the end of the stairs, then went through the door beside the fire escape staircase, and came to the top floor corridor. Seeing the familiar passageway, Sydney became even more panicky. She smacked the man on the back a few more times and said, "Julien, you've carried and spanked me. Now you can put me down, can't you? There're people here indeed. There're some assistant secretaries working overtime in the office next to mine! It's really bad to let them see us. The whole company
Chapter 921 Julien's Solemn SpeechSydney patted the man on the back. "Well, get up. I have a phone call."Hearing her urge him, Julien pursed his lips and got up unwillingly. Sydney put her hand on the sofa and sat up. Ignoring her slightly matted hair, she took her phone out of her coat pocket. At the sight of the caller ID, she immediately said, "It's Aunt. I guess she'll ask when we arrive."After that, she answered the call and put the phone to her ear. "Auntie."Sitting next to her, Julien was untangling her matted hair gently. At the other end of the line, Mrs. Chase, sitting with a phone on the sofa in the living room, asked with a gentle, kind smile, "Syd, it's already 7:30. When will you be coming over?"Hearing that, Sydney immediately glanced at her watch and answered, "Sorry, Auntie, we've delayed too long. We're leaving right now. We'll be there at about eight."This place was not far away from the villa of the Chase family. It would take 40 minutes or so to
Chapter 922 Mr. Chase's Test'Why haven't I found until now that he has the ability to twist the truth? 'But he's really amusing in this way.'As she was thinking, Sydney couldn't help but laugh. Seeing her laughing, Julien asked, "What's up?"'Why did she suddenly laugh?' he thought. Sydney glanced at him coyly. "What do you think?""I don't know." Julien shook his head. He really didn't know. 'She had been angry with me!'Then she burst out laughing. 'Her attitude changed so fast that I couldn't find a clue about it!'Seeing the man's confused face, Sydney snorted, "It's reasonable you don't know. I don't want to tell you because I want to leave you in suspense. Earlier, I asked you to put me down, but you didn't listen to me. This is the punishment, humph!"After that, she turned her head to the window, so proud. Julien enjoyed seeing that so much. If he were not driving and didn't have to pay attention to the traffic, he would have reached out to pinch her bul
Chapter 923 Mrs. Chase’s TestEven though Mrs. Chase looked at him fussily, he didn't feel offended or unhappy at all.Before coming, he had especially invited a few married secretaries to his office and asked them what problems people might encounter when they met their future parents-in-law for the first time and what they should do to leave a good impression on the parents.Those secretaries told him that parents-in-law would test a son-in-law or daughter-in-law to judge whether the person was suitable for their son or daughter.The first common test was to examine the appearance of the person.If the person's appearance was pleasant to the eye, it was half the battle.So, Julien had prepared to be examined.When Mrs. Chase looked at him up and down, he stood there detachedly and unhurriedly.He had always been confident in his look. To be honest, no man was more good-looking than him, except Micah, who resembled a beautiful lady.Sure enough, Mrs. Chase became deflated not
