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
"No, I'm not going." Kate shook her head furiously and stepped back.The two police officers said with solemn faces, "If you don't come with us, you will be put under arrest, and your crime will be aggravated."Frightened, Kate hurriedly brought the phone in her hand to her ear. "Lyra, the police are here to arrest me. You have to save me. Please save me..."However, there was no response on the phone.Kate looked at the screen but found that the call had already hung up.At that moment, she became hopeless and slumped to the ground dully.The two officers exchanged looks before pulling her up and taking her away."Hello, Ms. Raines." In the patrol car, the officer who flashed his ID earlier contacted Sydney. "Ms. Morgan has been caught.""Alright, thank you." Sydney smiled and thanked them.After that, the call ended.Luke brought a cup of coffee to her. "Who was that?""The police." Sydney picked up the coffee and took a sip.Luke immediately understood. "It's about Kate
Julien stood still.Sydney could not close the door, so she got so angry that she shoved him, trying to push him away.However, she forgot that she could not exert force on one of her feet. Instead of pushing Julien away, she lost her center of gravity and fell backward.Julien's eyes widened when he saw her falling, and he reached out to grab her.Even so, his hand was a second too slow, and he missed her arm. Not only did he fail to grab her, but he fell on top of her as well.Thud!Sydney fell on the carpet at the porch, and Julien propped his hands on either side of her shoulders, pinning her down with one knee.The two of them looked at each other, stunned.Sydney had never expected it would turn out like that. Her little face turned red, and her heart began to race.When her shy and angry look landed in Julien's eyes, his gaze darkened, and he could not help but think of the night she got drunk.That night, she was charming and seductive like a temptress.At that thoug
"What else would she want? Kate Morgan wants to be acquitted. That’s why she insisted on appealing her first trial. However, the results of the second trial won't change either, and she'll be detained as a criminal the way she should be. Her mother must be here to ask you to withdraw the lawsuit,” Luke said in Sydney's ear.Although his voice was soft, Mrs. Morgan heard him, and she became embarrassed. "Ms. Raines, well... Mr. Chase is right. I'm indeed here for that purpose.""See? I was right." Luke shrugged.Sydney rolled her eyes at him and looked at Mrs. Morgan with a cold smile. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Morgan, but I won't withdraw the lawsuit."Mrs. Morgan did not expect Sydney to refuse her so directly. Her face stiffened, and she felt a little upset.However, she quickly composed herself again and begged, "Ms. Raines, I know Kate went too far this time, but she knows that she's in the wrong. Please...""No!" Sydney interrupted her expressionlessly. "Mrs. Morgan, you say she know
Lyra bit her lower lip fiercely, feeling extremely annoyed. She was no longer in the mood to see Kate's second trial, so she turned around and left. Half an hour later, she arrived at Flint Corporation."Julien..." Lyra did not care whether there were other people in the president's office and went directly towards Julien behind the desk. With her teary, red eyes, she sat on his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and buried her head on his chest, sobbing softly.Julien froze for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he looked at the woman in his arms with a frown.If he had not heard her crying, he would have wanted to push her away."Leave the documents here first. I'll call you back later after I read them. You guys go back to your desks first." Julien put down the documents in his hand, rubbed his temples, and said to the man and woman at the other side of the desk.The man and woman nodded. "Sure, President Flint."Then, the two turned and left.After closing the
"I'm not looking for you. I'm looking for Syd. Is she with you?" Mrs. Chase asked.Luke looked at Sydney. "She's here.""Pass the phone to her."Luke responded and handed the phone to Sydney. "Here. It's my mom."Sydney took the phone. "Aunty.""Syd, Aunty misses you so much." Upon hearing Sydney's voice, Mrs. Chase smiled so wide that her eyes were closed.Sydney also laughed. "I miss you too, Aunty.""You do? But why didn’t you come to see me?" Mrs. Chase pretended to complain.Sydney stuck her tongue out. "I'm sorry, Aunty. I have been too busy lately and haven’t had the time.""Then do you have time now? Come over for dinner. I'll cook something delicious for you." Mrs. Chase invited Sydney. Sydney was just about to speak when Luke, who was eavesdropping at the side, suddenly interjected. "Mom, I'm taking my darling to eat seafood.""What's good about the seafood outside? It's not fresh anyway. If you want to eat seafood, I’ll cook for you," Mrs. Chase responded.Sydne
