Sydney took a deep breath when she looked at the brat’s bruised face. After that, she stopped wasting her breath on him and pulled open the car door.Jayden did not think of himself as an outsider at all and placed his grubby hands everywhere, touching everything he could see.Sydney’s car was a standard model, but Jayden was tall, so he had to cramp his legs under the seat. He even thought that it was a problem with the car. “What kind of sh*tty car is this? My legs can’t even fit! Hey, don’t you know how to ask my brother for a car when you divorced him?”“If you don’t like it, then get out,” Sydney spoke bluntly, not wanting to indulge the guy at all. “Go sit in your brother’s luxury car!”Jayden was speechless.The car soon arrived at Shallow Bay’s underground garage.As soon as Sydney got out of the car, Jayden pushed the door open and followed at her heels. “I heard the housing price here isn’t cheap. Did you sell the Azure Heart and use the money to buy this house?“Did m

Julien was looking at the letters in a trance when the bedroom door was knocked on and pushed open.“I saw your bedroom light still on and figured you were still working.” Lyra came in wearing an ink blue robe. The belt was loosely tied around her waist, revealing her collarbone and a track of fair skin. She also sprayed perfume on her body, looking very seductive.She placed the fruit tea on the table and deliberately leaned close to the man. “I made a cup of fruit tea for you. You’ll feel refreshed if you drink it.“I’m done working,” Julien said. He pulled open the drawer and showed her the letters inside. “I was grabbing the ink when I saw these letters. I didn’t expect us to have exchanged so many letters.”Lyra panicked for a moment when she saw the letters, but she soon recovered her composure. “They’re from six to seven years ago. Why are you still keeping them?”“They have sentimental value.” As Julien brushed his fingers over the letters, a smile appeared in his eyes.‘

“She’s pretty amazing to have made connections with Macy Graham.” Sharon looked at the woman beside Lyra and whispered, “Macy is the granddaughter of South Lake’s retired Master Graham. People who can go out with her will never have to worry about contacts.” Sydney rarely went out before, so she barely knew any people in the business world, much less people from other places. It was no wonder Lyra was acting so humble in front of the women. Before a person like Macy Graham, Lyra’s family background was not enough. “Oh, you’re President Flint’s ex-wife?” Macy glanced at Sydney with slight contempt in her eyes. She did not take Sydney seriously at all. “Since we’ve been brought together by fate, let’s play a few rounds. You’ll oblige, right, Ms. Raines?” Sydney did not want to even talk to Lyra, let alone play cards with her. However, she had put up with Velma for so many years when she was in the Flint family and had learned to read a person’s motive early on. She knew that

The man wore a black woolen coat, outlining his handsome figure. However, his cold temperament and heavy gaze made it hard for people to get close to him.When Sydney’s eyes fixed on the man’s face, her heart could not help but skip a beat, and she soon lowered her head naturally.She did not expect his influence on her to remain so long after the divorce.“You’re here, President Flint?” Kate was angry with Sharon, but she immediately greeted Julien with a smile the second she saw him. “I heard from Lyra that you’re very busy with your company. Are you here now to pick Lyra up?”Julien hummed politely in response. When his gaze swept over to Sydney, his eyebrows furrowed. Deep down, he felt a little unhappy.Did that woman forget her lesson from Red Plum Villa?Half an hour ago, Hunter called him and said Lyra and Sydney were playing cards in a private room at Club Lunaris. However, he did not believe it. He knew that Sydney was bad at cards and would not be so stupid as to dare

“Luke Chase, don’t take it too far!” Macy said coldly. “Do you think we’re blind? We can see that you’re targeting Lyra. She is already stripped down to her camisole. What else do you want from her?”Luke shrugged with a confused expression. “I won, so she should strip. How am I taking it too far? You can strip on her behalf if you want!”The club was warm enough, so Macy did not wear much other than a long halter dress.As such, she could not embarrass herself to help Lyra.“Let’s call it a day. It’s late.” Julien walked over and put his coat over Lyra.Before Luke could speak, Julien said calmly, “I’ll tell the finance department to remit three million to your company account tomorrow morning. Flint Corporation will also withdraw from Snowfall’s acquisition. I’ll have someone assist your company in acquiring Snowfall.”Luke had already seen Lyra humiliated, and with Julien’s concession, he naturally knew when to stop.“When Sydney was ten and played cards with her dad, not eve
