Once a Doormat, Now Untouchable Chapter 731
That single sentence didn't just enrage Marvin. It left Joseph, his wife Melissa Bell, and Leon's stepmother, Clara, staring at him in disbelief."What did you just say?" Marvin's voice was thick with incredulity.His eyes remained fixed on Leon as though he were looking at someone who had lost his mind. "Do you have any idea who the Huttons are? Do you have any idea what kind of man Diana's grandfather is? Have you completely lost your head?"In the eyes of the outside world, the Kingstons carried considerable weight. By Brimcrest's standards, they ranked among the best. But compared to the Huttons, they were nowhere close.If Diana hadn't chosen Leon, he would have faced a far steeper battle to claim the inheritance in the first place.And now he was saying this. If even one member of the household staff overheard and let it slip, the Kingstons would make an enemy of the Huttons overnight.After all those years of support, this was how you repaid them. Who would ever stand with

At the very least, Caleb remained the Hamptons' only son and sole heir. Leon's situation was different. The divorce would cost him more than his marriage. It would cost him his grip on the Kingston Group.Sydney didn't know the details, but she agreed completely.A woman like Diana was worldly, clear-eyed, and backed by an exceptional family. Whoever married her was the one marrying up, at least in Sydney's eyes.Sydney spoke with absolute certainty. "Exactly. But Diana will never regret it."She hadn't known Diana for long, but she was still sure of it. Diana wasn't the kind of woman who looked back.At Brimcrest City…Leon returned only to be consumed by company business first thing the next morning. By the time he finally surfaced, it was already afternoon.He checked his watch, picked up his cashmere coat, and headed for the door. He nearly collided with Liam, who was coming the other way.Leon frowned. "Something urgent?""Yes..." Liam hesitated, holding a two-copy docume

Julian didn't move.Sydney pressed both hands against his chest and turned her head away. "No way."She wasn't about to let this become common knowledge.Julian rested his forehead against hers. His dark eyes watched her, and his voice was low, unhurried, and thoroughly amused. "What do you mean, no woman could interest me?"Sydney shot him a look. "You're not just interested. You're an absolute, complete..."She had known for a long time what kind of person he really was beneath the surface. The problem was that he hid it so well in public. Everyone else only ever saw the cold, restrained version.The elevator chimed. The doors opened, and cool air from the parking level drifted inside.Julian let her go without pressing the issue. He straightened at an unhurried pace and took her hand as he turned. "Let's go."Peter saw them emerge and immediately rose to his feet, opening the rear passenger door. "Sir. Miss."Julian gave a short nod, waited until Sydney was settled inside,

Henry was too absorbed in the drama to notice that the CEO's expression had darkened completely.Marcus took one look at Julian's face and smoothly stepped in. "Sydney and I have always been nothing more than colleagues. A straightforward senior-junior relationship."If he was honest with himself, anything beyond that had always been one-sided. Sydney had probably never even noticed. From now on, watching her be happy from a distance would be enough. He wanted her to always be happy.Henry's eyes widened. "Then who is Dr. Wilson marrying?"Julian's gaze softened as he turned to Sydney and beckoned her over. "What brings you here all of a sudden? Did you have a proper lunch?"Henry's mind went completely blank. 'Since when did Mr. Sterling and Dr. Wilson become this familiar with each other?'There had been rumors about them once, but people had dismissed them as maliciously edited photos after a blogger broke down the evidence. No one in the company had taken the story seriously

Sydney smiled but didn't argue. She took the tablet into the lab, made the necessary adjustments herself, and handed it back to Marcus."The data's been corrected. You can run the simulation again tomorrow." Her voice was light, unhurried, and completely certain. "If everything goes smoothly, we should be entering clinical trials by the new year at the latest."Marcus blinked. "That soon?"He had been stuck on that dataset for longer than he cared to admit. She had walked in and solved the problem without breaking a sweat.Then again, that was exactly why Alan had taken her on as his direct student. It was hard not to favor someone who possessed both talent and dedication.They left the lab together.Marcus glanced at her, then hesitated before speaking. "Should we scale back your clinic hours a little? Just to be safe."He was concerned about how much strain her body could handle."No need." Sydney shook her head gently. Her hand drifted to her rounded belly before she realize

At the top floor of Sterling Group, Julian sat in his chair with unhurried ease as he listened to Elliot's report. A cold edge gradually settled over his expression."Sir, aside from the car, which was most likely a coincidence," Elliot said as he slid another file across the desk, "I also found no record of Tristan entering or leaving Jeremiah's building."He understood the significance of the findings. He had overlooked nothing and had delegated none of the investigation. He had assembled a team and conducted the inquiry himself.So far, nothing linked Tristan to Jeremiah. Nothing suggested Jeremiah was anyone other than who he appeared to be.The McLaren parked outside Jeremiah's residence matched the one Tristan owned, down to the model and color. Beyond that, however, there was no connection to pursue.Elliot had reviewed the security footage multiple times and found nothing. Either the two men had no connection at all, or Jeremiah was exceptionally skilled at covering his tr

Penelope almost coughed up blood. The moment she realized Sydney and Tiffany still stood there watching the circus, her temples throbbed with rage.A marriage proposal? That ugly freak actually dared to think about proposing to her?Even so, she felt no fear. The Huttons would never agree to marry

Sydney hadn't expected Julian to reveal his connection or lack of one with Eloise so suddenly. For a moment, she was too stunned to react.Before she could speak, Julian slipped an arm around her waist and led her straight out of the Hampton estate.Inside, the guests they left behind were still r

Before she spoke, Sydney could hear her heartbeat pounding in her ears. When the words finally left her lips, her whole body seemed to loosen, as if she had been holding her breath for years.Good or bad, she was ready for either. All she could do now was wait quietly for Jeremiah to tell her the t

Now it was Sydney's turn to fuss over Agatha.Tilting her head, Agatha studied Sydney's face with fond amusement. The longer she looked, the more content she felt."Much better," she said with a smile. "Give me another couple of days, and I'll be ready to go shopping with you. Can you believe it?"
