Chapter 28 Were You Seducing Sydney?
Sydney was no longer the Flint family's daughter-in-law and did not have to put up with Velma.
She grabbed Velma's wrist with force and pushed her out. Caught off guard by the push, Velma stumbled before falling to the ground and spraining her ankle. She screamed in pain with no regard for her image at all.
"Mrs. Flint, if you have something to say, then say it," Sydney spoke with a hint of coldness in her eyes. "But if you try to get physical, I won’t be polite."
Velma's face turned ashen with anger. "Sydney Raines, how dare you!"
When Sydney had not divorced Julien, she did whatever they told her to do in the Flint family, and she never dared to talk back to them. However, how dare she react this way as soon as she was divorced!
"I knew you were just a little b*tch who was putting on an act to please the Old Madam!" Velma cussed. She wore a dark blue gown that looked elegant and expensive, but her fierce glare made her look like a shrewish woman.
"You were the one who didn't want a penny when you divorced Julien. What are you doing now? How shameless can you be?" "I didn't take Julien's money." Sydney looked straight
at her.
"Then why are you still pestering my son?!" Velma shrieked.
She took out a bunch of photos from her bag and handed them out to the surrounding employees." Look, this is your boss. She’s really shameless! My son divorced her and has a girlfriend, but she still refuses to let go of him. She even seduced him!"
After handing them out, she threw the remaining photos to Sydney. "Take a look for yourself. You made Julien carry you into the car. How shameless are you?"
The photos hit Sydney and fell to the ground.
Sydney picked two of them up and saw that they were of her and Julien. She was standing by the car with an umbrella, talking to Julien. Since they were standing so close together, it looked as if she was hugging him. The other photo was of Julien carrying her into the car.
She did not expect that the scene with Julien in the parking lot yesterday afternoon would be secretly caught on camera.
Velma pointed at Sydney and scolded, "Lyra’s father has apologized to you about the video, and you're still pushing your luck! You know that Lyra likes to eat mangoes, don't you? You even told Julien to send mangoes to your company!"
Sydney was confused by what she heard.
She did not know what Lyra liked to eat. She thought that Luke had sent that box of mangoes, but she was mistaken.
"I'm telling you, Sydney Raines. You better stay away from my son!” Velma mocked rudely. "Julien married you six years ago for Lyra's sake. Otherwise, with your status do you think you’d be worthy of my son?"
Seeing Sydney’s face go pale, Hunter hurriedly stepped up to diffuse the situation. "Aunty, Ms. Raines and Julien maybe divorced, but they're still friends. There must be a misunderstanding about the photos. Why don’t you go back and ask Julien?"
"Would Julien have carried her to the car if she hadn't seduced him?" Velma asked.
"Maybe Julien had no choice but to help because Ms. Raines was feeling unwell," Hunter said politely." Aunty, this is Ms. Raines's company. You'll make things hard for her if you cause a fuss like this."
Velma looked at Hunter before turning to Sydney with eyes full of contempt. Her voice was loud and sharp." Hah! Your ability to seduce men is really powerful, Sydney. Besides that male model, you’ve even set your eyes on Julien’s friend!"
Hunter was speechless.
Velma's words were becoming more and more ridiculous. As such, Sydney picked up the coffee from the staff station and splashed it on her face.
Since the coffee was still warm, Velma screamed as it splashed on her face and gown. She hurriedly took a napkin to wipe the stains on her gown.
"You little b*tch!” Her beloved gown was soiled. Velma wanted nothing more than to tear Sydney apart.
However, before she could do anything, the security guards rushed up and stopped her.
Sydney placed the coffee cup on the table and looked at Velma coldly. "President Flint is very well- respected in the business world. I hope that you’ll think twice before you speak, Mrs. Flint. Otherwise, people will think that President Flint’s mother is a shrew who has no upbringing at all.
"Also, this is Skylight. It's my territory. If you want to see me, please make an appointment with the front desk beforehand. As for the situation today, I’ll ask my lawyer to talk to you, Mrs. Flint!”
Without waiting for Velma to get mad, Sydney instructed the two security guards, "Mrs. Flint is causing a scene and disrupting everyone's work. Please escort her out."
“Let me go! I’m going to tear that little b*tch apart!" Even as Velma was dragged out by the security guards, she was still cursing Sydney viciously.
The employees dispersed sensibly and went back to their stations to continue working.
"I’m sorry, Mr. Cohen." Sydney wiped the coffee stains on her cuffs and smiled faintly. "I'm sorry you had to see that."
The two of them then went to the elevator together.
Hunter kept looking at Sydney, and his long fingers rubbed his chin. "I realized that you've changed a lot since you divorced Julien.”
When Julien and Sydney were not yet divorced, he had been to the Flint residence several times. Back then, he saw Velma order Sydney around and treat her like a servant, but Sydney merely lowered her eyes and responded softly.
Today, Sydney threw coffee on Velma and even taught her a lesson. Her imposing aura surprised Hunter.
“Yes, I have to thank Julien for that." Sydney mocked.
She married into the Flint family for six years because she loved Julien. She acted as an obedient daughter-in -law and served the Flint family, tolerating all of Velma's yells and insults, all because she thought that she could move Julien and make him fall in love with her.
Later, she realized that everything she did was in vain.
Julien had another person in his heart. No matter how much she humbled herself to love him, she could not warm his heart.
"It's good that you’re divorced. With a mother like that, I don't think any woman would dare to marry Julien." Hunter thought of Velma's shrewish manner and found it terrifying. "It's a wonder that Julien didn’t grow up twisted with a mother like that."
Then, he asked Sydney, "That male model seems pretty good. When are you getting married?"
Sydney was not close to him and did not feel the need to tell him everything, so she said, "Cay is busy abroad on a business trip."
At that, Hunter came to the conclusion that they were really dating. He hummed in response.
When the elevator arrived on the first floor, Hunter’s phone rang with a new message. He looked at it and turned to say to Sydney, "Ms. Raines, I have something to take care of. I'll take a raincheck on this lunch and ask you again when I have time."
"Okay." Sydney nodded and personally saw him off.
After Hunter drove to Prime Time, he found a private room and pushed the door in. Seeing that Julien was already there, he opened his mouth and said, "Your mother made a scene at Skylight today!" NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Julien frowned. "Why did she go to Skylight?”
"Sigh, it’s all because you were photographed carrying Sydney to her car." Julien pulled out a chair, sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea. "I don't know where she got those photos, but she ran to Skylight to find Sydney and scolded her for being shameless, for seducing you even though you two divorced."
Hunter asked nosily, "What's going on? Was it you who was seducing Sydney?” "No.” Julien glanced at him coldly and said in an unpleasant tone, "She was unwell after getting caught in the
rain yesterday. I was afraid that she would cause an accident if she drove, so I wanted to send her back. Unexpectedly, she was so stubborn that she said she would hail a cab instead."
"Yeah, she could've just hailed a cab. Why should an ex -husband like you worry about her?” Hunter clicked his tongue twice. "Because of your 'good deed’, your mother ran to Skylight and screamed at Sydney, calling her a little b*tch. The people in the company must have looked at her like she was a joke."
