Chapter 610

Penulis: Lean
Sydney froze.

Twenty years ago, Julian had been barely ten years old. He had no power and no influence. There was no way he could have owed two lives.

"There has to be some misunderstanding. Back then, Julian was just a ten-year-old…"

"Did I say he did it?" Tristan cut in.

He added casually, "Sins of the father, paid by the son. Sounds fair to me."

Only then did Sydney truly understand. This had nothing to do with Julian himself. Whatever the older generation had done, and whether a mistake

  • Once a Doormat, Now Untouchable   Chapter 637

    James' voice turned noticeably colder. "Missing?""Yeah."Though she answered him, Diana kept her eyes fixed on Theodore.Half an hour earlier, Megan had been released on medical bail. Bail procedures were usually complicated and time-consuming, yet hers had moved with suspicious speed.The release was technically lawful, and Theodore's favoritism was no secret. The police could not justify shadowing her every step. No one wanted to offend the wrong person. If Albus passed one day and Theodore assumed control, who would safeguard their positions?No one expected that the moment supervision eased, Megan would vanish from the hospital as if she had evaporated.Not only Diana and James, but also Albus and Elizabeth now regarded Theodore with dark expressions.Florence, however, showed no surprise. Theodore shielding Megan was nothing new.In the past, Albus had heard rumors. Since nothing had escalated too far, he had turned a blind eye. This time, however, a life had nearly been

    Elizabeth knew her grandson well. Mischievous as he could be, he had always known his limits and had never crossed any real lines.Unlike other wealthy heirs who indulged in drinking, gambling, and womanizing, Raymond had kept himself free of every one of those vices. Let alone anything worse.Fearing that he had once again blown a trivial matter out of proportion, Albus glanced at Diana. When she gave a slight nod, his expression darkened. "Go inside first. We'll talk there."He stepped into the house without another word.Theodore's headache intensified on the spot. He turned and glared at the troublemaker.Raymond remained perfectly composed. "You should have known my grandparents were still around when you slapped me."He then paused and told Elizabeth and Florence, "I still need to go to the hospital to complete my resignation procedures, so I won't be going in."Florence nodded. "You're sure you've thought it through?""I have," Raymond replied.Seeing the pain lingering

    Sydney's voice remained soft and steady, yet every word settled deep inside Julian and took root.He lowered his gaze to her luminous, watery eyes and felt warmth flood his chest.How could she be this lovable?Sydney missed little. When she sensed his breathing grow heavier, she warned at once, "Control yourself. Not now…"At a time like this, any recklessness could affect the baby.Amusement flickered in his eyes at her caution. He pinched her cheek lightly. "What exactly is going on in that head of yours? Do you take me for some kind of animal?"As if he would lose control when he knew her body could not handle it. He had only been thinking how undeserving he was to have met someone like her.Sydney touched her nose and replied with perfect composure, "I was just kindly reminding you.""Yes, yes. You are the kindest." He ruffled her hair, then lay beside her and drew her into his arms. "Go to sleep."She nestled against him and closed her eyes. Exhaustion weighed on her, ye

    Julian sighed. "When have you ever made a mistake in etiquette?""That's because I didn't know they were Sydney's maternal family," Agatha replied.Hosting in-laws was different from entertaining ordinary guests."Not knowing excuses the fault," Julian said evenly. "The Huttons aren't unreasonable.""That's true."After today's visit, Agatha had to admit she respected the Huttons. They were powerful in their own right, yet their values and conduct far surpassed that chaotic branch of the Sterling family.A thought struck her. "When do they plan to acknowledge Sydney?""They intend to wait until her condition stabilizes."As they stepped into the foyer, Sydney lay curled up on the sofa. She looked over at the sound of their voices.Julian smoothly changed the subject. "Are you sleepy?"Her eyes were already half-closed, though she seemed too languid to go upstairs. "Yea…"Tenderness filled his gaze. He crossed the room, bent, and gathered her into his arms. One hand supported

    Raymond had barely finished speaking when Elizabeth smacked him on the forehead. "You little brat. What nonsense are you spouting now?"The older generation believed in smooth roads and auspicious words when it came to their granddaughter's marriage. Jokes like that sounded downright unlucky.She did not hold back. The slap landed squarely, and Julian almost failed to suppress a smile.Raymond winced and sucked in a breath, but he still defended himself. "Grandma, I'm just reminding him to treat Vee better."Elizabeth took Julian's side at once. "I think Jules is far more reliable than you. Does he need your reminder?"After praising him, she added warmly, "We'll have to trouble you and your grandmother to take good care of the girl.""Oh my…" Agatha still felt slightly lost in the conversation, but she hurried to respond. "Sydney is the one carrying the baby to full term. She's the one working hardest. Of course we should take care of her."She meant every word.Elizabeth felt

    The Huttons had always placed Sydney's health above everything else. After Julian spoke, no one pressed the matter further.His reasoning was sound.Florence felt reassured by his attentiveness. "You've thought it through."Agatha released a quiet breath.A simple visit was one thing. Attempting to take her granddaughter-in-law and great-granddaughter away was quite another.She glanced at the time and smiled. "It's almost lunchtime. Stay and have a simple meal with us.""Yes," Sydney said gently to Florence. "It's been a while since we've eaten together."The words nearly brought Florence to tears. She turned her head to compose herself, then nodded quickly. "Good. Good."The rest of the Hutton family agreed at once.As everyone headed toward the dining room, Raymond and Julian lagged a few steps behind.Raymond got straight to the point. "Alan never said that, did he?"Julian was shameless. He would not loosen his hold on his sister for even a moment. He had been that way
