Chapter 100 Kate''s Mother


    Julien stood still.


    Sydney could not close the door, so she got so angry that she shoved him, trying to push him away.


    However, she forgot that she could not exert force on one of her feet. Instead of pushing Julien


    away, she lost her center of gravity and fell backward.


    Julien''s eyes widened when he saw her falling, and he reached out to grab her.


    Even so, his hand was a second too slow, and he missed her arm. Not only did he fail to grab her,


    but he fell on top of her as well.


    Thud!


    Sydney fell on the carpet at the porch, and Julien propped his hands on either side of her shoulders,


    pinning her down with one knee.


    The two of them looked at each other, stunned.


    Sydney had never expected it would turn out like that. Her little face turned red, and her heart


    began to race.


    When her shy and angry looknded in Julien''s eyes, his gaze darkened, and he could not help but


    think of the night she got drunk.


    That night, she was charming and seductive like a temptress.


    At that thought, Julien''s throat bobbed, and his eyes locked on her slightly parted lips. He lowered


    his eyes and slowly bowed his head.


    Right at that moment, Sydney suddenly spoke up in an indifferent voice, "Can you get off me?"


    Julien suddenly came to his senses. His face tensed up when he realized what he was about to do,


    and he pursed his thin lips. "Sorry."


    He stood up and extended his hand towards her, trying to pull her up.


    However, Sydney did not ept it. Instead, she braced her hands on the ground to slowly get up


    herself.


    Julien''s eyes darkened. His hand in the air clenched into a fist before he withdrew it.


    Suddenly, Sydney hissed.


    A trace of worry appeared on Julien''s face unbeknownst to himself. "What''s wrong?"


    Sydney red at him. "It''s all your fault, Julien Flint. Is the Flint family born to harm me? My foot


    finally stopped hurting so much, but it is starting to hurt again because of that fall."


    Her eyes grew red as she spoke, and she could not help but feel upset.


    Nothing would happen to her until she met him.


    However, every time she met him, something would happen to her, and she was really fed up with


    it.


    Seeing that Sydney was about to cry, Julien''s heart tugged inexplicably. However, he did not show it


    on his face. "I''ll take responsibility."


    Then, he bent down and picked her up bridal style.


    Sydney''s eyes widened, and she subconsciously put her hands around his neck.


    However, when her palm felt the warmth of his skin, she hurriedly let go again.


    "Let go of me!" Sydney said with a cold face.


    Julien turned a deaf ear and carried her into the living room in a few strides. Then, he put her on the


    sofa, took out his phone, and made a call. "Arrange for a doctor toe to Shallow Bay."


    Shallow Bay?


    That was Ms. Raines''s address.


    Zach was dumbfounded. He had many questions, but he did the sensible thing and agreed


    respectfully instead of asking.


    Soon, the doctor arrived.


    Julien pointed at the woman on the sofa. "Take a look at her foot."


    "Yes." The doctor nodded and walked toward Sydney.


    Sydney did not want to be a cripple, so she quietly put her foot out.


    The doctor looked at it and opened the medical box.


    Julien stood by the side. "How is she?" "Ms. Raines is fine, but the ligaments that almost healed


    have been pulled again, so they''ll have to heal again." The doctor found the medicine to help with


    the injury.


    Was it that serious?


    Julien frowned.


    Sydney''s expression did not look good either.


    She could have stopped using her crutches in two days.


    Now, she would have to continue using crutches for another period of time. What the hell was that?


    Sydney bit her lip in anger, her chest rising and falling.


    Once the doctor had treated her foot, he left.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Sydney rubbed her temples and said tiredly, "Okay. You can go now, President Flint. I think you can


    see by now that you only bring me trouble every time you show up in front of me, so don''te to


    me again in the future."


    Julien frowned and was just about to say something when his phone rang. It was from Lyra.


    For some reason, he suddenly did not want to answer her call, especially in front of Sydney.


    However, he still answered it in the end.


    He knew that Lyra was very insecure.


    If he did not pick up, she would keep calling until he did.


    "Hello, Lyra?" Julien looked at Sydney out of the corner of his eye when he said Lyra''s name.


    For some reason, he wanted to see her reaction.


    However, Sydney merely fiddled with her nails with her head down. The expression on her face did


    not change in the slightest. She did not care who he was talking to at all.


    At that realization, he felt a piercing pain in his heart.


    She did not care about the existence of another woman.


    It meant that she had really let him go. She no longer loved him.


    "Julien? Julien?" Lyra shouted over the phone.


    Julien was pulled back from his thoughts, and he said in a low voice, "What''s wrong?"


    "That''s my line. I called your name so many times, yet you didn''t answer me." Lyra pouted in


    displeasure.


    Julien lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Sorry, I wasn''t paying attention just now. Do you need


    something from me?"


    "Did you forget? You''reing to my ce for dinner tonight."


    Julien was stunned for a moment but he remembered.


    "Sorry, I forgot."


    "I knew it. That''s why I called you to ask. By the way, where are you now?" Lyra asked in a soft


    voice.


    Julien looked at Sydney. "I''m out with a client."


    Sydney raised her brows and looked up, ncing at him amusingly.


    Her look made Julien so ufortable that he cleared his throat, adding, "I''ll finish up ande


    over soon."


    "Okay, I''ll wait for you,” Lyra said with a smile.


    Julien hummed and hung up the phone.


    Sydney crossed her arms and looked at him with a vague smile. "You''re out with a client? So I''m a


    client, President Flint? I didn''t think you could lie too. How rare."


    A trace of embarrassment shed in Julien''s eyes, but it soon disappeared and returned to its usual


    coldness. "I''ll leave now. I hope you''ll consider the divorce property."


    "There''s nothing to consider. I said I don''t want them, so I don''t want them," Sydney said


    expressionlessly.


    Julien pursed his lips and wanted to say something. However, when he saw her cold face, he


    eventually left without saying anything.


    The next few days, Sydney began awsuit journey, fighting Kate, the marketing ounts, and the


    Theizens on the Inte also followed the progress of herwsuit to watch the drama unfold.


    In the end, the people who managed the marketing ounts were detained for three to five days,


    and the otherizens were fined thirty dors.


    As for Kate, she refused to ept the sentence and appealed the first trial despite herwyer telling


    her there was little chance of winning the second trial. The sentence would be reduced by two or


    three days at most, but it was impossible for her to be dered innocent.


    However, Kate was determined to appeal, and today was the day of the second trial.


    Sydney, apanied by Luke, came to the court.


    Her foot was almost healed. Although she could not run and jump, at least she did not have to limp


    around with crutches anymore.


    Just as she was about to enter the courthouse, someone suddenly called out to her. "Ms. Raines."


    Sydney stopped in her tracks and turned around with Luke.


    The person approaching was a middle-aged woman dressed in branded clothes and sophisticated


    makeup, but it was hard to hide the sadness on her face.


    Sydney asked politely, "Hello, you are...?"


    "I''m Kate''s mother." The middle-aged woman shed Sydney a smile.


    The expression on Sydney''s face cooled considerably." Oh, you''re Mrs. Morgan. What can I do for


    you?"
