The person outside the door seemed to have a grudge against her. The person pounded on the door so hard that Sydney could hear the door frame trembling from the bedroom.It was as if the person would break down the door into the house the next moment.Sydney lifted the quilt with a dark face, casually straightened her hair, put on her shoes, and walked out of the bedroom. She was ready to go to the porch to see who was so bold.However, before she went, she dropped by the kitchen first and took a sharp knife before heading to the porch.Just as she reached the foyer, she heard the sound of talking coming from outside the door.“Mom, what are you doing? Stop it!” Jayden grabbed Velma’s arm that was pounding the door and stopped it. He could feel a headache coming.Velma looked at him angrily. “Why are you stopping me? Let go! I’m going to teach this little wench a lesson today.”“This is sis... I mean, this is Sydney’s and Lyra’s matter. Why are you interfering?” A frown appeared

Julien's brows furrowed.Had she deleted his number?When the person on the phone did not speak, Sydney frowned in confusion and was prepared to hang up.Just then, a man's low and pleasant voice sounded on the phone. "It's me."Sydney's eyes widened, and the pen in her hand stopped moving. She brought the phone from her ear and looked at the familiar string of numbers on the screen before her red lips pursed.It really was him!Even though she had deleted all his contact information after the divorce, she could still recognize this string of numbers at a glance.She took a deep breath to suppress the sourness in her heart and asked with an expressionless face, "Is there something you need, President Flint?"Julien's face sank when he heard the indifference in her tone.When she did not recognize him, she could be so gentle with a stranger.However, she was so indifferent to him.Julien suppressed the displeasure in his heart and pursed his lips, saying, "I'm here to apologi

Sydney pondered for a few seconds. "Alright. You go and negotiate with the presidents of these banks again. See if you can change their minds. Along the way, try to find out whether it's Brandon Madden behind this whole thing.""Okay," Sophie answered and then thought of something. "Should I tell President Chase about this?""No." Sydney shook her head. "Luke has to look after his own company recently. I don't want to trouble him.""Understood."Shortly after Sophie left, Sharon came in from the finance department."President Raines, what the hell is going on? I just received calls from several banks asking us to pay off the loan right away. It hasn't been long since we took the loan, and it's not time to pay it back yet. Why are they making us pay it back now?" Sharon walked up to Sydney's desk and asked.Sydney pinched the bridge of her nose. "Can't you tell? We're being targeted.""By who?" Sharon slammed her hands on the desk.A cold glint flashed in Sydney's eyes. "The only suspec

Sydney and Julien both looked up as Hunter walked over, spinning a car key on his finger.Julien’s eyes narrowed. He looked at Hunter and then at the woman beside him, furrowing his brows.Why did she ask Hunter to pick her up?Since when did their relationship become so close?Hunter was also a little surprised to see Julien. “Julien, why are you here? You’re sitting with President Raines too. Are you two on a date?”He pointed at the two playfully.Sydney put the ice pack to the side and rolled her eyes at him. “What nonsense are you talking about? I came here to talk about business and met President Flint by chance.”“Is that so?” Hunter rubbed his chin with an expression of disbelief.Julien did not say anything but did not deny it either.Hunter believed it when he saw Julien’s expression and pouted his lips in slight disappointment. Then, he saw Sydney’s swollen ankle and was stunned. “President Raines, what happened to your foot?”“Sprained it.” Sydney put her shoes ba

How would she know what to do? If she knew, she would not be so nervous in her heart now.How did Sydney know that something would happen to the Graham family?Lyra bit her lip. Her eyes were dark and uncertain as she looked in the direction that Sydney left.Sydney was helped to the surgical department by Hunter.The doctor was quite surprised to see her. “Didn’t you just change your medicine last night? Why are you here again today?”Sydney did not expect the doctor to recognize her and coughed a little awkwardly. “Um, I’m here for my foot this time.”“Your foot?” The doctor bent down and looked around the corner of the table at her feet.Seeing her swollen ankle, he shook his head sympathetically. “Miss, you’re hazard-prone. The injury on your head hasn’t healed yet, and you twisted your foot like this. I advise you to pray at a church later.”“Pfft!” Hunter did not hold back and burst out in laughter.Sydney was already blushing from the doctor’s words and became even more
