Chapter 30 Please Come to the Police Station


    "Yes, today is rice''s death anniversary...”


    When Mrs. Madden thought of her eldest daughter who suffered an early death, her hands holding


    the Baby''s Breath trembled, and she could not help but cry in pain.


    Losing her eldest daughter was too hard on her, so she put all her attention on her youngest


    daughter. Every year on the death anniversary of her eldest daughter, her heart would still tear up


    and hurt.


    "Okay, stop crying.” Brandon took his wife into his arms andforted her. "Today isn''t just


    rice’s death anniversary. It''s also the day of Lyra’s engagement. rice will be happy for her


    sister if she knows that her sister is getting engaged.”


    Mrs. Maddens cried until her chest ached, and she gnashed her teeth. "It''s all that b*stard Harry


    Raines''s fault. How could... How could rice..."


    She spoke until she choked and sobbed again.


    Brandon''s eyes were also gloomy. "The Raines family is gone. Only Sydney is left."


    Six years ago, he personally avenged his eldest daughter by forcing Harry to death and leaving the


    Raines family in ruins. However, he could not do anything to Sydney because she was married to


    Julien.


    Unexpectedly, Sydney obtained shares from Skylight six yearster and became a major


    shareholder of Skylight.


    "The only thing Sydney has is Skylight. It''ll be easy for me to get rid of her." Brandon also felt


    heartbroken when he thought of his deceased eldest daughter. His hatred for the Raines family


    grew.


    Mrs. Madden seemed hesitant. "Forget it. She''s still Julien''s ex-wife. If Julien finds out, it''ll make


    Lyra''s life in the Flint family awkward."


    Brandon scoffed. "Don''t you know why Julien married Sydney? He doesn''t care about Sydney at all.


    Otherwise, he wouldn''t have stood by and watched with cold eyes as the Raines family copsed


    and Skylight went downhill.


    "Don''t worry, I''ll take care of it," Brandon said. "That tiara was something that rice took a fancy to


    when she was alive. Go back and ask Lyra for it. Keep it well, lest Lyra casually gives it away


    again."


    Mrs. Madden nodded and looked sadly at the Baby''s Breath in her hands.


    Sydney intended to go to the office, take care of a few urgent documents, and then go back to rest.


    As soon as she arrived at the office, Sean came over to inform her, "Ms. Raines, President Smith


    from ZX hase over and is chatting with Mr. Chase in his


    office."


    The corners of Sydney’s mouth curled in a cold smile." Okay, I’ll go over and take a look."


    When ying cards at Red Plum Resortst Friday, ZX’s boss said that they would have someone


    bring the contract to Skylight to sign the next day, but no one came. Sydney was not stupid. She


    knew that he wanted to keep her hanging and wait until she called ZX personally.


    Fortunately, with Hunter''s help, she found a better partner for Skylight.


    Sydney knocked on the door and entered Luke''s office.


    She looked at Luke, who was chatting with ZX’s boss. As she walked in, she smiled at President


    Smith and greeted him. "President Smith, long time no see."


    "Ms. Raines.” President Smith stood up and shook hands with Sydney politely.


    President Smith watched as Sydney sat down and drank tea. When she did not mention the


    cooperation, he could not help but ask, "I’m really sorry, Ms. Raines. My men were too busy these


    past few days and couldn''te over to sign the contract with yourpany. I’m here to apologize


    to you today."


    Then, he pushed the contract in front of Sydney. "Take a look. We can sign it if there are no


    problems.”


    Luke frowned and was just about to say something.


    However, Sydney shot him a look that stopped him from speaking. Then, she said to President


    Smith," President Smith, my secretary told me that he couldn''t reach your person-in-charge no


    matter how much he called. Since this batch of goods is very urgent and can''t be dyed, I''ve


    found another factory to handle it."


    "Ms. Raines, mypany is the best in the country when ites to overseas goods." President


    Smith thought that Sydney was saying that because she was trying to lowball him. As such, his


    attitude became a little arrogant. "You mention that you emphasize product quality, yet you ended


    up finding a poorerpany to handle the order because the shipment is urgent?"


    Sydneyughed. "Besides yourpany, You2 Manufacturing is also famous for making overseas


    goods."


    << H


    Seeing the expression on President Smith''s face change, the smile on Sydney''s lips became


    brighter. "I went to South Lake on a business trip today to inspect You2’s factory. I''ve also signed a


    contract with their boss."


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    "I heard You2 has orders scheduled until next year." President Smith continued to struggle. "Ms.


    Raines, did you really sign a contract with You2?"


    Sydney simply took out the contract and showed it to President Smith.


    Now that President Smith waspletely convinced, his attitude also softened. "It was really


    negligent on mypany''s part that we didn''t sign with yourpany earlier, but I really do want to


    cooperate with yourpany. We can negotiate about the price..."


    "I know you’re a person of great affection and loyalty, President Smith." Sydney smiled faintly. "Your


    old customer suddenly increased their orders, so you prioritized them. Moreover, your employees


    made a mistake, and you came to Skylight personally to apologize to me. I should be ttered."


    President Smith was speechless. He could tell that Sydney was mocking him.


    What he said during the poker game was just him showing Julien respect. He did not care about


    Sydney at all. He could not believe that Sydney went to You2 instead.


    Sydney had just entered the business world and did not have any connections. How did she meet


    You2’s boss?


    Did Julien help her?


    When he thought about how Julien protected Sydney when they were ying poker that day, it did


    not seem unusual that he was helping her expand herwork.


    In just a few seconds, President Smith weighed the pros and cons and gritted his teeth. "Ms.


    Raines, there weren''t any old customers who increased their orders.


    I lied to you. Some time ago, President Madden called me and told me not to take the order from


    Skylight."


    Upon hearing that, Luke snorted. "I was wondering why you were willing to let go of money you


    could''ve earned. I even wondered if there was someone targeting Skylight. Hah! I was right!"


    "Madden Corporation has a lot of cooperation with mypany, so I''m in a hard spot too."


    President Smith smiled sheepishly and immediately added, "But I still want to work with Skylight.


    Otherwise, I wouldn’t have risked offending President Madden bying here today."


    Sydney was in need of contacts now.


    Besides, there were no enemies in the business world. Mutual interests were all that was needed to


    hold two parties together.


    She smiled. "I can see your sincerity, President Smith, but I''ve signed the contract with You2. If


    there are any overseas orders in the future, I''ll give priority to you."


    Seeing this, President Smith breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he exchanged a few pleasantries with


    Sydney and Luke before leaving.


    Once he left, Luke asked Sydney, "I tried to contact You2 before, but it didn''t work. How did you get


    in touch with You2''s boss?"


    "Hunter introduced me."


    Sydney told Luke about the time she went to Red


    Plum Resort and how Hunter introduced her to You2ter.


    After that, Luke sighed. "If you had known that Hunter had such good connections, you should''ve


    taught President Smith a lesson during the poker game at Red Plum Resort. You should’ve scared


    them so much that they won''t dare to y poker anymore!"


    Sydneyughed. "President Smith is still very good at ying cards."


    Sydney had not yed since her marriage to Julien. Over time, except for Luke and a few others,


    everyone around her thought that she did not know how to y cards.


    Thest time she yed with President Smith and the others was the first time she yed cards in


    six years.


    "Don’t be so modest." Luke rolled his eyes and snapped, "We grew up together. Do you think I don’t


    know how good you are at poker? Not even your father could win against you, let alone others."


    Luke''s words reminded Sydney of her father whomitted suicide, and she became a little sad.


    "Let''s go. I''ll treat you to dinner."


    She got up and put on her coat when her phone suddenly rang.


    "Hello?"


    "Is this Ms. Raines?" The female voice on the other end sounded slightly strict. "Your younger


    brother is at our police station now. Pleasee over."
