Chapter 996 The Flamboyant LukeSydney took the agenda. When she was about to read it, there was a knock on the door.While opening the folder of the agenda, she spoke, "Please come in."The door was pushed open. An assistant stood at the door, one hand holding a blue folder and the other holding the doorknob. The assistant said, "Ms. Raines, Mr. Chase has come, and he wants to meet you.""Huh? Luke has come here?" Sydney became confused.‘Why does Luke come now?’"Ms. Raines..." Sean, who was standing opposite Sydney’s desk, suddenly got flustered.Hearing Sean call her, Sydney looked at her. Sydney knew why Sean became flustered and signaled her to calm down. "Sean, don't be nervous. Don't worry. I know what you plan to say. Go to my lounge and have a rest," Sydney uttered while pointing at her lounge opposite.Sean squeezed her hands and immediately gave a thankful smile. Then she turned around and walked quickly into the lounge.At the sight of Sean’s back, Sydney sighed s
Chapter 997 Do It MyselfSydney pressed her glabella, slightly closed her eyes, and said, "I naturally thought of this, so I don't want to mortgage this building.""That's good." Luke nodded and got worried again. "Then what are you going to mortgage?"Sydney opened her eyes and answered slowly, "The Raines family's villa."Luke was slightly stunned. "You're going to...""Yeah." Sydney nodded."But that villa was left behind by your mom. Can you bear to do so?" Luke looked at her.Sydney tucked her hair behind her ear. "Honestly, at first I couldn't, but now I think it's okay. That villa was indeed left behind by my mom and was filled with the memories of my formative years, but some disgusting guys also lived there."As she said that, her eyes narrowed with a hint of hatred.Luke captured it and understood what Sydney meant, sighing with pity, "Madeline and Kaylie.""Yes." Sydney gripped the pen. "That villa was originally the coziest home for me and my parents, but in the e
Chapter 998 Julien Is UnhappyZach knew that every time Julien made a puzzling move, it was for Sydney.However, Zach always forgot that and foolishly asked Julien the reason.As a result, Zach had to watch Julien display affection.Zach couldn't stand it.'It seems that in the future, I should remember not to ask such questions, or I will suffer mental damage.'After all, I'm still single. What if they make me too depressed to find a girlfriend?'Then, when the time comes, I will be miserable.'Thinking of this, Zach rubbed his cheeks, suppressed his anger, managed to maintain his usual smile, and asked, "Mr. Flint, how should we deal with that old guy?"Julien opened the door and walked out. It was a vast parking lot.Julien's eyes locked on to a car not far away. He walked over with long legs while saying, "Continue to lock him up. He'll be useful later.""OK," Zach respectfully answered.Julien pulled open the door and got into the car. Zach hurried around the front of
Chapter 999 Someone Is PeepingWhen Julien was lost in thought, Zach drove the car and asked suddenly, "Mr. Flint, it has been three days since it happened. Has Ms. Raines come up with a solution?"Julien frowned.'Has she come up with a solution?'I guess that she has come up with a solution.'After all, during the past three days, I haven't seen any anxiety or worries on her face. I'm sure that it isn't because she is good at acting.'It's quite possible that she has come up with a solution, so she's able to get along with me as usual. Otherwise, she would have given herself away, and I would have noticed it.'Thus, she has come up with a solution.'But is the solution really workable?'Seeing that Julien kept silent, Zach didn't feel surprised. He turned the steering wheel and added, "I guess that Ms. Raines hasn't come up with a solution. As far as I know, the components are crucial to Skylight Corporation. If they fail to find them back, the result will be extraordinarily
Chapter 1000 Where Is Sean?When Sydney heard that Luke wanted to go to see who was in the lounge, her expression changed immediately. She raised her voice to refuse. "No!"In the lounge, Sean stood behind the door anxiously. She clutched the doorknob tightly with both hands and was ready to resist.Thus, if Luke came here and pushed the door, Sean would be able to press the door and stop him from coming in.At the same time, Sean prayed that Sydney would stop Luke successfully.After Sydney refused Luke, Luke's gaze became more suspicious. "Syd, you don't want me to see who is inside. Is it because you have hidden your lover inside?"Sydney felt ridiculous. "My lover? Don't talk nonsense! Am I that kind of person?""Then why do you not allow me to have a look?" Luke rolled his eyes."It's none of your business. Anyway, you can't go there." Sydney blocked him with open arms.He crossed his arms over his chest. "You look nervous. Is Julien inside? No, it's illogical. He's your
Chapter 1001 Julien's Idea"..." After hearing the secretaries and assistants’ answer, Luke was silent.Then he understood.The person who was hidden by Sydney in the lounge and was watching him there was Sean.No wonder Sydney had stopped him from going to the lounge. She didn't want him to see Sean."Mr. Chase? Mr. Chase?" The secretaries and assistants in the office called out to Luke as they saw him standing in the doorway, in a trance.Luke's eyes blinked. He snapped back to his senses. "What's wrong?"The secretaries and assistants replied, "Nothing. We saw you wandering off, so we were worried about you.""I'm fine." Luke rubbed his brow. "All right. Go on with your work."Then he exited the office and closed the door behind him. He leaned against the office door and looked upward at the ceiling. He was deep in thought.He knew why Sean was hiding in the lounge.He had told her he didn't want to see her again, and he guessed that was why she had gone into hiding when
Chapter 1002 Waiting for Dalin at the DoorJulien wanted to make Luke aware that he knew Sydney had gone to dinner with Luke.Julien didn't want Luke to be secretly happy about having dinner with Sydney behind his back.Zach had worked with Julien for years, so Zach could tell what Julien was thinking from the look in his eyes.The corners of Zach's mouth twitched.'Does Mr. Flint really need to do this?'He just said he didn't mind Ms. Raines having dinner with Mr. Chase as he was a generous man. But now he's about to remind Mr. Chase that he's Ms. Raines' boyfriend. He was lying.'Seeing the look in Zach's eyes in the rearview mirror, Julien frowned and demanded, "What does that look in your eyes mean?"Zach realized that Julien had seen right through him. He immediately let out an awkward cough and explained, "Nothing, Mr. Flint, I wasn't looking at you. I was thinking about something else.""Huh." Julien snorted, "You think I'd believe that?"Zach lowered his head at once and fell
Chapter 1003 They Finally Met"That's where he comes in handy," Julien commented on Hunter.Zach pushed his glasses up. "Mr. Cohen will probably get cross if he knows that you belittle him.""Am I afraid of him?" Julien narrowed his eyes.Zach quickly waved his hand. "No, no, no. Mr. Flint, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean that.""If not, shut up," Julien ordered with a frown.Zach shrugged his shoulders, performed an act of zipping his mouth, and stopped talking.In the suite, Neil moved swiftly to the audio-visual room. Without knocking on the door, he pushed it open and entered.The audio-visual room was dark. Only the screen was shining where a musical was playing.It was a black-and-white musical movie filmed in the last century, and its frightening sound came from the acoustics, making the entire audio-visual room a scary place.Dallin, in a long traditional suit, sat on the single sofa right opposite the screen and watched the musical. He shook his head and fingers
