Chapter 944 Mrs. Chase's AdviceMrs. Chase liked to surf the Internet at ordinary times, so she naturally didn't miss the trend of the Internet.Watching Sydney and Julien openly show their love on the Internet, she was shocked. After all, she knew Sydney was gentle and didn't like to be high-profile, so she thought it was basically impossible for Sydney to show love on the Internet. As for Julien, he was even less likely to do such a thing. The Flint Corporation was so big that he had no time to show love on the Internet, and Julien was too cold and arrogant to do that kind of thing. However, Sydney and Julien actually did that, which did surprise Mrs. Chase. Therefore, Mrs. Chase called Sydney, "Syd, I saw you and Julien saying those words on the Internet. Now not only the company’s stock price has risen, but also the entertainment industry and netizens are hotly discussing you two online. It's really amazing." Sydney blushed and felt a little embarrassed, "I just wanted t
Chapter 945 Am I a Product?When Mrs. Chase asked about Sean, Sydney instantly tensed up. She had been leaning back in her chair, but now she sat up straight and replied, "Sean's fine.""Really? That's good." Mrs. Chase went on, "I went to the hospital today for a physical checkup and I ran into her. I noticed her face was pale and she had a pile of bills in her hand. I thought she was seriously ill, so I asked her what was wrong with her. However, she told me she just didn’t feel comfortable with her spine.""You don't believe her?" Sydney bit her lower lip.Mrs. Chase shook her head, "No. I've known Sean for years, so I know her well. When she answered me, she kept her head down. She didn't dare look me in the eye. She was obviously lying. Since she wouldn't tell me what was wrong with her, I didn't ask her. I pretended I believed her. After we talked for a moment, she left with an excuse. She left in a hurry, as if she was afraid I would stop her. I was wondering what she was af
Chapter 946 Be Kind“I know you won’t marry their daughter, but you happened to strike their fancy,” Sydney pouted.Julien pinched her nose, “I’ve never heard anything about that. How did Mrs. Chase get that?”Julien was baffled as to why he knew it later than others. He was the one they wanted!“She heard it from the Ward family.” Instead of keeping Julien in suspense, Sydney confessed everything Mrs. Chase had told her.Learning the situation, Julien scowled his displeasure and snorted, “The Ward family, they are really something!”He knew that this family was in the seafood business.But they were not the hot shot in this line as there were a lot of seafood merchants in Port City, and the competition was fierce.Besides, the Ward family was an unscrupulous trader who cheated consumers with underhanded tricks, including passing off spoiled seafood as fresh or farmed seafood as wild.Over time, someone who could not stand it reported them to the authorities.The Ward family t
Chapter 947 Julien's ReactionJulien looked at Sydney, feeling a little tense, thinking, 'Sydney treats Mrs. Chase as her own mother, so she may take what Mrs. Chase said seriously and think that I may indeed be a man who can't control myself while facing an active woman. If that’s the case, Mrs. Chase has caused trouble for me.' Looking at Julien's obviously nervous look, Sydney knew what he was thinking at the moment. She blinked, then pretended to look at him seriously, and did not answer. Sydney's silence made Julien's heart begin to sink, "Did you really take it seriously?" Seeing that he looked more and more nervous and was about to be anxious, Sydney stopped pretending and laughed, "How is it possible? Of course, I didn't take it seriously." "Then you just..." "I did it on purpose," Sydney smiled proudly at him, "I pretended to do that to see your reaction. It was very funny to see how nervous you were." Hearing her mischievous laughter, Julien breathed a sigh of rel
Chapter 948 The Date of the Wedding Had Been Decided OnConsidering Julien's status, Stephen didn't dare or was qualified to show his anger."Since all of us have finished working, let’s leave together, okay?" Although Stephen was asking for Julien and Sydney's permission, he stepped directly into the elevator without waiting for their answer.The elevator door slowly closed as he came in.Even if Julien and Sydney wanted to refuse him, it was too late.Julien's face turned dark.So did Sydney’s, but she didn't say anything either.After all, the elevator was exclusive for high-level executives, not only for Sydney, so Stephen had the right to take it.Well, Sydney chose to bear staying in the same elevator with Stephen.It was extraordinarily quiet in the elevator. Only breathing and the sound of the elevator running could be heard.Stephen felt slightly stressed after a while. But it was not Sydney who put pressure on him.Although she had been in charge of Skylight Corp
Chapter 949 Stephen's Trick'Poor girl?'What is he saying?'Just as Sydney wanted to ask Stephen what this meant, Julien put a protective arm around her shoulders to calm her.Sydney looked up at him.Meeting her gaze, Julien said nothing but gave her a hint with the eyes: Leave it to me.He had already observed that Sydney was annoyed at these words and wanted to confront Stephen.He stopped her lest she should suffer.Sydney had no advantage in the argument with Stephen, a tough old bird.Julien, therefore, would deal with Stephen himself.After realizing what Julien meant, Sydney felt warm and calmed down.Sensing her emotional changes, Julien drew her aside and stood between her and Stephen.Without Sydney standing between them, Stephen felt more pressure than ever to face Julien.He even regretted entering the elevator.But he had no option but to stick it out.Julien stood in front of Stephen, looking down at him, "What do you mean Sydney is a poor girl, Mr. Dayton
Chapter 950 Bring Me DownHow was this possible?How could he fail?Stephen couldn't accept such a result for a while.In his opinion, men were the same. Every man would mind his woman's origins. The higher a man's status was, the more he would mind his woman's origins.After all, Julien's status was so high, but his girlfriend was an orphan. If word got out, others would laugh at him.And men were all vain creatures. How could he not care about this?Looking at Stephen's trembling face, Sydney sneered, "Mr. Dayton doesn't seem to believe your words."She gently poked Julien's lean waist.His eyes darkened. He gripped her naughty fingers. "Stop it."Men's waists were sensitive, so they could not be touched casually.This was dangerous.Looking at Julien's dark eyes, Sydney realized why Julien had told her to stop. She flushed, pulled her fingers back, and turned her head away as if nothing had happened.Seeing that she played dumb after teasing him like a jerk, Julien was
Chapter 951 Teach a Lesson"Sydney, you misunderstood me. Since I am your elder, how would I want to harm you?" Stephen was an old fox who was able to keep calm even when Sydney revealed his dark side. "I didn't mean anything else by this. I just think that since Mr. Flint is with you, there are some things about your past that he should know. You can't hide them from him. Otherwise, it will be unfair to Mr. Flint. What do you say, Sydney?"Sydney laughed mockingly, "Mr. Dayton, you're always so plausible.""You must be joking.""But it's a shame." Sydney stared at him coldly. "You don't think Julien already knew about what you said, do you?""What?" Stephen froze for a moment.Sydney added, "Or do you think that you, an outsider, know more than he does?"She was completely composed now.At first, she was really worried that Julien would mind what Stephen had said.Although she got close to Luke and the other two men, they were just friends.She did nothing wrong, but she was
