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
Chapter 924 Where Is Luke?Mr. Chase noticed that Julien felt unwell.Mr. Chase looked in the direction where Julien looked and saw Julien's left arm. Immediately, Mr. Chase remembered his wife's words. His wife told him that Julien's arm was broken when he was saving Sydney.'At that time, I thought that my wife was joking.'It's because I couldn't imagine what had happened to Sydney that Julien's arm was even broken when he was saving her.'However, it seems that what my wife said is true.'"Julien, your arm hasn't recovered. Give these things to me." After Mr. Chase finished speaking, he reached out his hands and took the things from Julien's left hand.As soon as Mr. Chase took the things, he felt that they were very heavy. He asked in surprise, "What are the things inside?"Julien moved his left arm and said, "Leaf says that you like to drink wine and collect wine. I have several bottles of good wine, so I take them here for you."Now nothing was in Julien's left hand, so
Chapter 925 The Excited Mr. ChaseSydney looked at Mrs. Chase. "I know what you mean, but Luke is your son, and my rejection hurts him. Do you really not blame me?""You've asked me this question, and I'll answer it again. No, of course not." Mrs. Chase grabbed her hand, "As I said, Luke has the right to like you, but it doesn't mean you have to agree. Affections should be mutual. If two people are in love, they can be together. If the girl is reluctant, she should turn him down, and he can move on. You didn't do anything wrong, so why should I blame you? I'm old but open-minded. Even though...""You can come out with it." Sydney looked at her.Mrs. Chase sighed regretfully, "Even though I want you to become my daughter-in-law badly, things won't work out that way, because I know that Luke is not your type. You won't fall in love with him. We can't make a happy couple out of you guys. Compared with that, I'd rather see you find the right guy who can make you happy.""As for Luke,"
Chapter 926 The Excited Mrs. ChaseHowever, what surprised Mrs. Chase more was Julien's generosity.He gave her husband several bottles of wine worth several million dollars each. There were only a hundred bottles of each kind in the world, which meant they were very valuable and rare. So Mrs. Chase thought those who had bought such wine, basically not to drink it, but to collect it.And Julien gave away the precious wine as a gift. Few people were as generous as him.It seemed that he had changed and loved Sydney very much.Otherwise, how could he possibly give such wine to Mr. Chase?After all, Mr. Chase was not Julien's real future father-in-law.But Julien gave the wine to him anyway, which clearly showed that he loved Sydney so much that he treated them as his real future father-in-law and mother-in-law.Thinking about this, Mrs. Chase had a much better opinion of Julien. Now, Julien got a passing score.Yet she had to continue to observe and test Julien.As if he had se
Chapter 927 Public Display of AffectionListening to Julien's words, Mr. and Mrs. Chase subconsciously nodded. "That's true."After all, if a man was willing to spend money for a woman, even if he didn't love her very much, she was important to him.But if a man was unwilling to spend money for a woman, he didn't value her at all.Julien could spend so much money for Sydney, even if he didn't love Sydney that much, she had a place in his heart. Mr. and Mrs. Chase looked at each other and thought the same way.Mrs. Chase even added another ten points to Julien's score sheet in her mind.Now, there were still twenty points left to get a full score."So you must accept these gifts. They represent my goodwill." As Julien spoke, he pushed the gifts back.Mr. and Mrs. Chase looked at the gifts. "Does Syd know you prepared these expensive gifts?"If Syd didn't know, they couldn't accept them.Julien knew what they meant and nodded slightly. "Please don't worry. Leaf knows. I showe
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
