Chapter 508 Sydney''s Nervousness


    Only then did Velma realize what a stupid thing she had done!


    ''How can I forget that I’m at the banquet for Mother? How can I cause trouble and make myself a


    laughing stock?’


    These guests must beughing at me.


    They must think that I am silly and rude.’


    Lowering her head, Velma flushed with great embarrassment. She felt extremely ashamed.


    Before she went to the banquet, she had said to herself that she must behave well and cause no


    trouble.


    In the past, she didn''t understand how a nobledy behaved, so she did a lot of silly things and


    made herself ridiculed.


    She also knew that she had tarnished the reputation of the Flint family over the past years, so she


    was very eager to behave well at this banquet and let others see her in a different light and know


    that she could also be an elegantdy.


    However, as soon as she saw Sydney, she immediately forgot to be elegant and gracious. She even


    forgot that she was at the banquet, and she scolded and embarrassed Sydney openly. The result


    was that she humiliated the Flint family in public again.


    Thinking of this, Velma wanted to p herself, feeling extremely angry and regretful.


    She med herself for not keeping calm. She could find fault with Sydney when the banquet ended


    or when Sydney was alone.


    Why did she have to bully Sydney in front of so many guests?


    "Mother, I''m sorry. I’m wrong. I..."


    The Old Madam signaled for Velma to stop talking. "You should not apologize to me, but Syd. Who


    asked you to embarrass her?"


    The Old Madam ordered in a serious tone," Apologize to Syd!"


    "Apologize to her?" Velma pointed at Sydney with her eyes widening.


    Sydney didn''t want to look at Velma, so she looked away.


    Hunter turned the watch on his wrist and said casually, "Mrs. Flint, Sydney is not your daughter-in-


    law who you could bully easily. She is not a member of the Flint family, but a guest invited by your


    family. As a guest, she is insulted by you.


    Shouldn’t you apologize to her? Or, is this the way the Flint family treats guests?" "Of course not,"


    Julien replied, looking at Sydney. "Our family never treats guests this way."


    "Did you hear it? Apologize!" The Old Madam mmed her cane on the floor with force, ring at


    Velma.


    Velma had always held the Old Madam in awe. When the Old Madam scolded her, she trembled


    violently with fear and then reluctantly apologized to Sydney, "I''m sorry!


    Sydney rubbed her nails and said casually, "If you don’t want to apologize sincerely, don''t apologize.


    Otherwise, people may think that you''re forced to say sorry to me. And I really don''t dare to ept


    your apology. If you put the me on me, I''m afraid that you''ll find fault with me again." "You..."


    Velma’s face turned pale as if her mind was seen through, and she became angry immediately. She


    was about to scold Sydney when she met the icy and emotionless eyes of the Old Madam.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Even Julien frowned and looked at Velma with dissatisfaction.


    If Velma was not his stepmother and hadn''t nurtured him for many years, he would definitely punish


    her.


    Looking at the Old Madam''s and Julien''s furious eyes, Velma opened her mouth, and her anger


    immediately disappeared.


    "Get out of here. Shame on you," The Old Madam scolded Velma harshly.


    Velma also felt extremely ashamed and had no courage to stay here. She knew how the guests at


    the banquet thought of her without even looking at them.


    Covering her face in shame, she nned to run out of the hall with her head down.


    However, in front of her was Sydney.


    It was unknown if Velma was intentional or unintentional. When she passed by Sydney, she


    knocked Sydney''s shoulder hard.


    "Ouch!" Sydney shouted subconsciously. She lost her footing and staggered back in high heels.


    Sydney was knocked to stagger back out of the blue, and she couldn’t hold the wine ss in her


    hand steadily. As the ss tipped, all the red wine inside was poured out and sshed over arge


    area of her chest, which made her cold and very ufortable.


    But this was not serious. What was serious was that she hadpletely lost her bnce and fallen


    towards the floor in horror.


    Seeing this, the Old Madam, Julien, and Hunter all became frightened.


    "Syd!" The Old Madam shouted anxiously.


    Julien and Hunter made a quick reaction and stretched out their hands to pull Sydney at the same


    time.


    Julien seeded in pulling Sydney while Hunter failed


    After Julien grabbed Sydney''s wrist, he pulled her towards him hard.


    Sydney''s falling body was pulled up abruptly and she dived into his arms.


    However, due to the great force of the impact, Julien''s chest hurt from being hit by her. He couldn''t


    help groaning and frowning. There were a few drops of sweat on his forehead, and he took several


    steps back. He didn''t stabilize his body until his waist hit the long dining table behind him.


    But during the whole process, Julien didn''t loosen his grip on Sydney. Even if his chest hurt, he still


    hugged her tightly and didn''t let go of her.


    He was afraid that she would fall again if loosening her.


    The Old Madam and Hunter felt relieved when they saw that Sydney hadn''t fallen onto the floor.


    Although Hunter regretted that it was Julien, not he, who pulled Sydney back, he was relieved to


    see that Sydney was safe.


    Smiling, Hunter put his hands back into his trouser pockets.


    At the dining table, Julien let go of Sydney. Looking down at her, he moved his lips, as if he wanted


    to say something.


    But before he could say anything, Sydney held his arm and looked at him up and down. She asked


    in an anxious tone," Julien, have you been injured? I''ve heard you groan. Are your body hurt?"


    When the Old Madam noticed that Sydney was so worried about Julien, she became stunned. Her


    hand holding the cane suddenly trembled with excitement. "Syd..."


    Hunter took the same guess as the Old Madam.


    He was drinking. But when he saw that Sydney was so worried about Julien, his hand shook and


    almost poured out the wine.


    ''Sydney...'' ''Does she fall in love with Julien again?'' Hunter''s face darkened. He held the ss tightly


    and did not speak.


    Julien lowered his head and stared at


    Sydney, with his eyes gleaming with joy


    Sydney didn''t know what Julien, Hunter and the Old Madam were thinking about. She worried about


    Julien and just wanted to know whether he had been injured.


    Finding that Julien didn''t speak and just stared at her, Sydney couldn''t help feeling annoyed. She


    pressed her lips and asked," Tell me whether you are injured."


    Though Sydney asked Julien in anger, not only did he not get angry, but he raised his lips. He


    replied in a hoarse and pleasant voice, "I''m fine. I wasn''t injured." "Really?" Sydney frowned, as she


    was still worried. "I just heard you...


    "I’m all right. Believe me!" Julien replied gently.


    Seeing his serious expression, Sydney had to give up asking him.


    But at this time, Julien asked, "How are you? Are you all right?"


    Sydney slightly moved the ankle that had just been twisted and nodded. "I''m all right, too."


    Though she moved her ankle slightly, Julien still noticed the movement of her foot.


    Julien''s eyes darkened. "Your foot..."


    "Syd." Before he asked, the Old Madam interrupted him.


    The Old Madam walked towards Sydney with her cane and couldn''t wait to ask, "Do you still..."


    "Grandma!" Knowing what the Old Madam was going to ask, Julien stiffened and stopped her


    hurriedly.
