Chapter 27 I''ll Teach You a Lesson!


    "What''s wrong, Lyra?" Velma asked when she saw that Lyra had seemingly gone pale.

    Lyra immediately turned her phone away and said softly, "It''s nothing. My mom sent a message


    asking when I''m going back. I''ll reply to herter."


    Velma turned to the front to talk to Julien without suspecting her.


    After making sure that Velma was not looking that way, Lyra picked up her phone again and looked


    at the WhatsApp message her friend sent.


    That friend was also ying at Red Plum Resort today and said that she saw Julien. She was just


    about to say hello to him, but she saw Julien chasing after Sydney. The two of them stood by the


    car and chatted for a long time.


    Lyra turned off the media volume and tapped on the video.


    In the video, Julien said something to Sydney. Then, he carried her into the car, got into the driver’s


    seat of her car, and drove away.


    It was just a short ten-second video, but it caused Lyra''s hands and feet to turn cold. She clutched


    her phone tightly.


    Were they not divorced?


    Why did Julien get into Sydney’s car and lie to her?


    Lyra remembered that night at the banquet. Julien seemed to be on Lyra’s side, but the moment


    Sydney spoke, he gave her the Azure Heart that was worth more than a hundred million dors so


    as not to embarrass her. Now, this video today...


    Lyra began to panic. She felt like even if Julien and Sydney were divorced, Julien did not belong to


    her.


    Was she destined to not obtain what she had stolen?


    By the time Sydney woke up in the hotel, it was already the next morning.


    She remembered that she had gotten wetst night and must have caught a cold. However, she


    was refreshed when she woke up.


    Soon, she remembered that Julien had insisted on sending her back to Shallow Bay. While she was


    in a daze, she seemed to have felt someone feeding her something...


    Was it Julien?


    Sydney brushed away the images in her head, washed up quickly, and left the hotel.


    After arriving at thepany, she called Sean in. "The boss of ZX wille to the office to sign the


    contractter, so get the contract ready."


    Sean was stunned. "You made a deal with ZX, Ms.


    Raines?" "Yeah." Although Sydney did not want to admit it, if Julien had note to the private


    room yesterday afternoon, the boss of ZX would not have relented and taken the order from


    Skylight.


    She owed Julien a favor.


    "Okay." Sean nodded and quickly retreated to prepare the contract.


    Sydney took off her coat and hung it on the coat rack. She was just about to sit down and handle


    the documents Sean sent when the office phone at the table rang.


    She picked it up. "Hello?"


    "Ms. Raines, there''s a gentleman named Hunter Cohen who wants to meet you," the receptionist


    reported. "Do you know him?"


    Sydney said, "Bring him up."


    Soon, there was a knock on the door, and the receptionist led a man in.


    The man was dressed infortable and casual clothes. His hair was dark and thick with slightly


    curled ends, and his features were so perfect that it was impossible to pick out a single w. He was


    handsome and dashing.


    His narrow eyes casually swept through the office before they finallynded on Sydney.


    "Ms. Raines, you really are adaptable." Hunter walked to the table, pulled out a chair to sit down,


    and chatted amicably with Sydney. "You''ve only been in Skylight for a few days, but you''re already a


    proper leader. I can''t tell that you''ve been a housewife for six years at all."


    "Well, neither did I expect the suave, womanizing yboy to be the mayor''s youngest son." Sydney


    did not show weakness when it came to being sharp-tongued.


    Hunter raised his brows. "Ms. Raines, I wasplimenting you for finally being yourself, but you''re


    dissing me instead?"


    "I''m alsoplimenting you for being very good with thedies."

    Hunter knew that the woman may look meek and dignified, but she had a harsh tongue. He


    adjusted his sitting posture and said, "I know Skylight wants ZX to handle the overseas orders, but I


    have a factory in my hands that makes overseas goods at a better quality."


    "You mean you want to introduce me to resources?" Sydney looked at him in surprise. "Why?"


    Hunter shrugged and spoke in aid-back tone, "We''re working together, and I just so happen to


    have good resources to introduce to you. Think of it as a favor!"


    Sydney did not believe him. "Mr. Cohen, we''ve only met once before, and we don''t know each other


    that well. We''re also working together on equal terms.


    Other people want nothing more than to avoid having anything to do with Skylight, much less send


    resources to us.”

    If Hunter had known that Sydney was such a suspicious person, he would not have answered that


    call yesterday.


    "I''m lying. Actually, I don''t want you to cooperate with ZX," Hunter said seriously. He pulled out his


    phone and showed her a picture. "This is my girlfriend, but she was seduced by President Smith’s


    son, and the two went abroad together."


    As he spoke, he revealed an expression of deep love. "I love this girlfriend very much. I gave her a


    car, a house, and jewelry, yet she ran away with another man. Am I a man if I don''t take revenge?"


    Sydney looked at the woman in the photo. "Your girlfriend is quite beautiful, but I can''t believe you


    got cheated on."


    Hunter ignored her sympathetic eyes. "Yes, I can’t stand being cheated on, so I want to take


    revenge on ZX! All my friends aren''t allowed to cooperate with ZX. You and I are partners as well,


    so you can''t cooperate with ZX.


    "My factory''s standard for foreign goods is even higher than that of ZX''s. Trust me." Hunter fiddled


    with his phone. "I’ll send you the number of the person in charge of You2."


    "You2?” Sydney was slightly shocked.


    She knew about You2 Manufacturing, a very famous factory in South Lake. Since their quality was


    very good, many foreignpanies went to them to make their goods. She heard that they had


    orders scheduled until next year.


    Sydney also wanted to go to You2, but she did not know the way, so she chose the second best,


    which was ZX.


    "I’m familiar with their boss in South Lake,” Hunter said. He saw the box of mangoes ced next to


    the table, took one out, and peeled it to eat it. "You can call first to talk to him.”


    Sydney immediately copied the string of numbers Hunter gave her and dialed it.


    The other party picked up quickly.


    Sydney knew the overseas order like the back of her hand and talked eloquently with You2''s


    person-in-charge. She did not look like a novice who had just entered the business world. Each of


    her words was enunciated and conveyed clearly. Even Hunter was a little impressed by her.


    Finally, You2 told Sydney that after signing the contract, they would be able to make her goods


    within the time limit. However, she needed toe to the factory on Thursday to have a look, and


    both parties would talk about it again before going through the contract.


    After hanging up the phone, the burden in Sydney''s heart was lifted. "You’ve done me a big favor,


    Hunter.”


    "As long as you don''t have dealings with ZX, we''re friends.” Hunter had finished eating a mango by


    then and was wiping his hands with a napkin. "The mangoes from Four Seasons Orchard are good


    this year. Did Julien tell them to send it here?”


    Sydney remembered what happened yesterday afternoon and frowned. "No, we''re divorced. I won''t


    ept anything he sends either. My childhood friend sent these mangoes. You can take it back if


    you like it."


    "Is that so?” Hunter raised his brows and gave her a pensive look.


    Sydney was puzzled by his expression. She looked at the time and put on her coat. "Mr. Cohen, if


    you have no ns at noon, let me treat you to lunch."


    "Sure. I''ll have to pick a good restaurant, then.” Hunter followed her and left the office.


    "Sydney Raines,e out here you little b*tch!


    "I''ll teach you a lesson!"


    Sydney had juste out when she heard themotion. The voice sounded quite familiar.


    When she looked up, she saw Velma standing not far away with her hands on her hips, shouting at


    her.


    There was staff around who wanted to drive her out, but they retreated after Velma scolded them.


    Sydney walked over in her high heels with a calm face, asking, "Mrs. Flint, what do you want?"


    "You''re finally out, you little b*tch!" Velma became even angrier when she saw Sydney. She stormed


    up in a rage and raised her hand to p Sydney.
