When the doctor concluded that Lyra would never wake up, Julien agreed to Sydney.However, Julien had always been cold to her.Sydney lifted her chin and looked straight at him without flinching. “I’m your wife. Why should I move out because she’s coming back?”Julien suddenly looked at her. His expression sank slowly, and the depths in his eyes became more frightening. “Why? Because according to Lyra, it was you who hit her with your car six years ago!”Sydney was flabbergasted for a moment before she laughed bitterly. “Would you believe me if I said I didn’t?”Julien approached her step by step, forcing her into the corner. Then, he said with a cold voice, “Do you think I’ll believe you?”The man kept staring at her with his dark eyes.His gaze was suddenly filled with disgust and hatred!“You’re an incorrigible woman. I want nothing more than to make you pay back a thousand times of what Lyra suffered!” Julien’s face was cold.Sydney was shocked by the ruthlessness in the m
Luke Chase was her childhood friend, a typical rich kid.Luke probed. “Are you really sure?”“I’ve never been surer.” There has been a smile on the corners of Sydney’s mouth ever since she came out.She had always been sophisticated and beautiful. That smile seemed to have dispelled the years of gloom and made her look brighter.Luke sighed. “I thought you’d never get over him. I’ve been worried about you for the past six years. How the hell did you fall in love with that scumbag?”Sydney nodded. “Yes. Why was I so stupid?”“Fortunately, you didn’t wake up too late. You’d be old and faded if you took another six years.” Luke laughed and continued, “I used to think that if you got old and were kicked out, I could marry you reluctantly since we’re childhood friends.”Sydney rolled her eyes at him. “Don’t jinx it.”“By the way, this is the divorce agreement you asked me to prepare. Take a look.”Sydney casually flipped through the documents after receiving them. “I won’t take any
Back in the car, she returned to the elegant and confident Sydney Raines again.Luke chuckled. “There are some good-looking ones in The Little Treasury today. Do you want to go have a look?”The Little Treasury was a place for people to splurge on entertainment.Sydney was speechless. “Dude, are you serious? I just got back to being single.”Luke winked and pretended to be mysterious. “Actually, there’s someone who wants to meet you.”“Who?”“You know him. You’ll find out when you get there.”Sydney pondered for a moment before she nodded. “Fine.”Luke had an exclusive room in The Little Treasury. As the two walked in, the man on the sofa stood up and looked over.He was in his early twenties, was extremely tall, and had an angular face with sharp eyes. When he saw her, a glint flashed at the bottom of his eyes.“Hey, we meet again.”The young man in front of Sydney seemed familiar, but she could not recall where she had seen him before.“Have you forgotten? Six years ago,
After saying goodbye to Luke and Cayden, Sydney returned to her father’s old residence.The house was dusty and had not been cleaned in a long time.Hence, Sydney put on her apron and started to clean up.From under the sofa, she found her wedding photo with Julien. In the photo, she was smiling like a flower, while Julien stood beside her with a cold face and visible impatience between his brows.Next to it were the notes she had written.The diary recorded what the man liked to eat, the things he used, his hobbies, and so on.All her thoughts were focused on Julien. She had tried hard to keep up the hard-won marriage, but reality gave her a resounding slap on the face.Sourness built up in her eyes. Nevertheless, Sydney looked up and forced herself to swallow her tears.The chime of a text message interrupted her. She took a look and saw that it was from Cayden.[Sydney, you helped me six years ago, so it’s time for me to help you six years later. Don’t worry and just do wha
“I think his name was Cayden Lowe. That annoying jerk Luke Chase was also beside her.”“What? How dare she have an affair!” Velma’s face turned dark with anger, and she cursed sharply. “She’s shameless! Where is she now? I’ll rip her apart!”“Sydney said she already divorced Julien.” Seeing the terrifying gloom on his brother’s face, Jay asked again, “Is what she said true?”Julien kept his lips pursed, his face sullen, and remained silent. It was clearly a tacit agreement.Having thought of something, Velma froze for a while before she smiled. “It’s great that you guys are divorced! At least she’s sensible! I’ll only acknowledge Lyra as my daughter-in-law. Sydney is worth nothing!”For some reason, Velma’s curses sounded extremely harsh to Julien. “That’s enough.”He picked up his coat and left the house.Jayden stared at his elder brother’s back. “Mom, is Sydney never coming back?”Velma snorted. “I dare her! Even if she wants a divorce, she won’t get a penny from my son!”J
Sydney grew curious at Cayden’s mysterious behavior. “Tell me first, and then I’ll decide whether to go or not.”Cayden sighed helplessly. “It won’t be a surprise if I tell you.”Sydney could not help but laugh when she saw his bitter appearance.When Julien came out the door, he just so happened to see a man lowering his head and approaching Sydney to say something in her ear.Sydney was smiling happily, and her bright eyes shone brilliantly.He was just about to get into the car, but he stopped and turned around to stare coldly at the pair. The bone-chilling coldness in his eyes was like ice.She had never smiled like that after they got married.All he heard from her was endless nagging and trivial stuff. There was a cautious look in her eyes every time she looked at him. He did not like her like that. In fact, he found it annoying.However, he did not think she would look like a different person after the divorce. She was shining brightly from the inside out.Was it beca
In Flint Mansion, Velma was directing the maids to erase all traces of Sydney’s stay. The sheets she had slept in, the slippers she had worn, the apron she brought over, and even the dishes and cutlery she used before were all thrown away.“What are you doing?” Julien, who came back to that scene, frowned slightly.Velma snorted. “What’s the point of keeping that woman’s stuff? Lyra is going to marry into the family soon.”Then, she looked around and quickly walked over to him. “Julien, you divorced her, right? She’s not getting a single penny of your hard-earned money!”He said faintly, “She didn’t ask for any.”Velma clearly did not believe him. “That’s impossible! She doesn’t have a dime to her name. How could she not try to wring a fortune out of you? How else will she get the money to keep other men outside?”Julien’s temples throbbed at the thought of Sydney’s relationship with that male model. Not wanting to deal with Velma, he ordered Zach to take the divorce agreement an
Julien’s face instantly sank.As if he could imagine Julien’s face, Hunter laughed and teased. “Oh my, I can’t believe I learned about your divorce through the trending topics. How is it? Does it feel good to be cucked?”“...Shut up.”“Haha. Sydney is a good woman, but you don't know how to cherish her. Only she could’ve put up with you for six years. If it were anyone else, they would've dumped you long ago.”Julien was unhappy. “I don’t like her.”“Yes, yes, yes. You like that Lyra girl, right?”Hunter had met Lyra in her college days before.There was a saying that outsiders could see things more objectively than those involved. Hence, he knew with a glance that the eldest young lady of the Madden family was not someone easy to deal with.However, Julien… Hunter, in fact, had a good impression of Sydney. She was good to Julien and kept the Flint family in good order. She was also a very hard worker, but what a shame.Julien’s face was grim. “Did you call me just to taunt
