Once a Doormat, Now Untouchable Chapter 656
Hearing that, Tristan took the phone and glanced at the screen before tossing it onto the coffee table. Impatience flickered in his cold, sharp eyes."Are you two idiots, or do you think I am?" He looked down at her. "Even if Sydney wants to go, do you think Julian and the Huttons are fools? Do you think they would let her walk into that meeting alone?"He had already received word about Sydney's visit to Seraph Villa earlier that day. But Julian had locked everything down so tightly that Tristan found no opening at all.Julian would remain on high alert for the foreseeable future. That made the plan Megan and Penelope devised useless.Megan's heart clenched. "Then what am I supposed to do?"She could not exactly sneak into Delta Mansion, drug Sydney, and carry her out. That would be no different from walking straight into a trap."Either way, tomorrow is your final deadline." Tristan curved his lips. His tone stayed calm, almost casual. "If you have the means, make her go alone.

Sydney heard his footsteps before he reached the bed. She stopped pretending to sleep, opened her eyes, and looked at him. "How do you always see through everything?"Julian did not answer at once. One hand cradled the back of her head while the other adjusted the pillow, raising it slightly.He helped her lean against the headboard. Only then did he give her cheek a light pinch. "Nothing in your business escapes my sharp eyes."Sydney almost laughed. In the past, she would never have imagined hearing words like that from him. Every line he spoke used to sound stiff. Now sweet talk seemed to come to him with ease.She lifted her hand and held his warm, dry palm. Her lips pressed together. "Penelope contacted me on the way home.""What does she want?" Julian frowned slightly. Then realization crossed his face. "Megan probably contacted her."Sydney had reached the same conclusion."She said she knows about my background," Sydney replied honestly. "She asked to meet tomorrow night

In the photo, a one-year-old girl hugged a stuffed toy. Her grin stretched so wide it nearly reached her ears. She looked bright, carefree, and radiant.The image looked nothing like the cautious, restrained Sydney of recent years. Yet she recognized the child almost at once.The little girl was her. It was Sydney before her adoptive parents took her in.A chill crept down her spine as she replied.Sydney: [What exactly do you know?]Even she still stood in the fog when it came to her own origins. So how did Penelope seem to know everything?Raymond could not see the phone screen from his angle. Even so, he sensed the shift in her mood.This time, he did not ask.…The car sped the rest of the way. By the time they reached Delta Mansion, it had barely stopped before someone pulled the door open from outside.Sydney looked up and met Julian's dark eyes. The chaos in her chest eased at once. "You're done already?"She had thought he would not be home until the afternoon.Juli

Florence had longed to see Vee every day. Yet when Vee finally arrived, she broke down in tears.Florence pressed a hand to her chest. The heaviness there refused to ease. Instead of answering, she asked, "Is your father at the estate today?""He went to the golf course," James replied.Albus worried Theodore might do something foolish again. He had stationed people at the estate to report every movement. Early that morning, Theodore left the house. Within minutes, someone sent the update to James.Theodore had always been disciplined. Even during his busiest years, he made time to exercise. Now that he had effectively retired, he had even more time."He seems to be taking it well." Florence clenched her hand and slowly released a long breath. "When Grandpa comes back later and asks about Sydney, tell him the girl grew up alone. She learned to swallow her grievances. Even after learning the truth, she blamed no one. She even spoke a few words in your father's defense."James push

'Talk about choosing loyalty to a woman over a brother.' Still, Raymond was not surprised that Julian had sold him out so completely.He knew how close Sydney and Tiffany were. He dropped his usual careless attitude and chose his words with care. "Don't worry. This time my sister and the family won't interfere."He assumed Sydney feared that the Hutton family might step in again and embarrass Tiffany.Sydney frowned. "That's not what I meant. What I'm saying is this. Whether Tiff chooses to get back together with you or not, and no matter how your relationship turns out later, your resignation has nothing to do with her. Raymond, that was your decision. It has nothing to do with Tiff."Her voice was quiet but clear. The words fell with such plain certainty that Raymond froze.She was not the first person to tell him this. Yet hearing it from her made him oddly happy. A smile tugged at his lips. "Alright. Thanks for worrying about my love life."Sydney almost reached out to check

After Sydney finished the acupuncture session, she sat in the chair beside the bed, as she always did.The curtains were drawn, and no sunlight reached the room. Even so, warmth spread through her body. She felt loose, steady, almost at peace.When she lowered her eyes and met Florence's gentle yet resolute gaze, she understood why.Only the two of them were there. Florence did not want distance between them, so she spoke first in a soft voice. "If you're upset, say it. When my father-in-law gets back later, we'll have him punish him properly."The "him" at the end naturally referred to Theodore.Albus had taken Elizabeth to visit a dying comrade. They would not return until later."If I'm upset, huh?" Sydney thought for a moment, then admitted with a smile, "A little, of course. But it's already obvious that Mr. Albus is completely impartial."He had stripped Theodore of every position he held. For a man who had wielded power for half his life, losing all his posts was no diffe

Julian had a sharp tongue.Sydney shook her head, grabbed her phone from the bed, and froze at the screen. Seven hours.It took a moment to remember the promise she'd mumbled before falling asleep. Clearing her throat, she stammered, "I-I must've been out cold. Give me a minute."She hung up, fre

Sydney's ears burned red, hot enough to feel as if they might bleed. She stammered, "I-I'll go to the bathroom myself.""Wait." Julian caught her wrist and drew her closer, knotting his suit jacket neatly around her waist to hide the stain on her skirt."T-Thank you," Sydney whispered.With Alan

For a moment, Sydney's mind went blank. That sentence from Caleb would have sounded routine any other time. But here and now, it struck her off guard."Don't worry. It's not a real divorce." He had already made the promise to Penelope.He gripped Sydney's shoulders, leaned slightly closer, and whi

Sydney had no time to think about anything else."Where did Penelope move to?" she pressed."Well…" Kelly hesitated. "I don't know."A faint weight settled in Sydney's chest. She climbed back into her car and dialed Caleb. No answer.Then a message appeared—Victor, with a hotel room number.Vic
