Chapter 562


    Julien shook the ss of juice in his hand. Under the dazzling lights in the hall, the bright red juice


    looked more transparent and tantalizing.


    He raised his head and took a sip.


    It was so sweet that he even felt sweet in his heart.


    Sydney picked up the ss of red wine snatched from Julien. She took a sip and answered,


    "Natalie is reluctant to annul the engagement."


    "She loves him?" Julien looked at Sydney.


    "Him" referred to the womanizer, Manuel.


    Sydney shook her head. "Of course not.


    Natalie said that the man she wanted to marry had died, so she could marry whoever for her family.


    After all, she and her husband would have their own lives and wouldn''t disturb each other." "I see."


    Julien nodded and looked forward.


    After Natalie and Manuel walked off the stage, Julien gulped down the rest of the juice, put down


    the ss and said to Sydney, "I will go to greet Manuel''s father. Would you like to go with me?"


    Sydney waved her hand. "There is no need. I don''t know him at all."


    "OK. Wait for me here and eat something. I will be right back." He picked up a te, chose two


    pieces of dessert with mango vor and handed the te to her.


    Sydney took the te out of his hand. "OK. I will wait for you."


    "Then I will go to greet Manuel''s father." Julien smiled, turned around and left.


    After he left, Sydney fell into a trance suddenly.


    ''It''s strange. Why did I promise to wait for


    him?''


    The answer emerged in her mind vaguely, but she stopped thinking about it soon.


    She lowered her head, cut the dessert with a delicate sliver fork and put it into her mouth. It tasted


    sweet.


    It tasted good, but it was natural that its taste was not as good as the dessert made by senior


    dessert chefs.


    However, she felt that it tasted better than the dessert made by senior dessert chefs.


    She sat in the corner of a couch and ate the dessert as she waited for Julien.


    After a while, she put down the te and went to the restroom.


    After she walked out of a stall, she stood in front of the wash basin to wash her hands and touch up


    her foundation.


    Suddenly, in the mirror, Sydney saw the door of a stall being opened and Madeline walking out as


    she was smoothing her hair.


    Sydney put down the lipstick in her hand, turned around and shouted, "Madeline!”


    Madeline stopped smoothing her hair and raised her head. "Who is calling...? Sydney?"


    Madeline was so surprised that her voice became sharp. Her eyes were filled with surprise and


    disbelief.


    Madeline stepped forward, came up to Sydney and questioned Sydney loudly, " Why are you here?"


    Sydney rotated her lipstick down, lid it, put it into her clutch and said calmly, "Ie here to attend


    my friend''s engagement party. Why can''t I be here?" "Friend?" Madeline reacted soon and felt


    surprised. "You are Natalie Skr''s friend?"


    Natalie was the center of attention at the engagement party today.


    She was Manuel''s fiancee.


    Sydney put her arms across her chest." You''re right. But it seems that you dislike Natalie. It is


    because of her fiance?"


    Hearing that, Madeline panicked, clenched her fists tightly and asked anxiously," What... do you


    mean?"


    "You know what I mean." Sydney''s face clouded over. "I haven''t seen you for six years.


    Unexpectedly, you give me a so big surprise. You even have be a homewrecker."


    The word "homewrecker" stimted Madeline.


    She widened her eyes and looked at


    Sydney with scarlet eyes. "How dare you say that I''m a homewrecker? Natalie is the homewrecker.


    Manuel and I love each other. He doesn''t love her, but she insists on getting engaged to him. Isn''t


    she the homewrecker between Manuel and me?"


    ''If Natalie is reasonable, she should have annulled the engagement with Manuel.''


    Hearing that, Sydney felt ridiculous and sneered, "It turns out that you understand '' homewrecker’


    like that. Manuel and you love each other, so Manuel''s fiancee, Natalie, is the homewrecker who


    prevents you from marrying Manuel. You''re so shameless. Don''t you feel guilty when you think of


    Dad?"


    ''Dad...''


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    A trace of guilt shed through Madeline’s eyes, but it disappeared soon. She put her hands on her


    hips and said firmly, "Dad has died. I don’t care about his thoughts at all, so don''t threaten me with


    him." "You!" Sydney’s face turned red in anger. She pointed at Madeline angrily. "You also know that


    Dad has died. Then do you know that Dad died because of you?"


    Madeline rolled her eyes and avoided meeting Sydney''s gaze. "Don''t talk nonsense. Dad''s death is


    not because of me.


    She was reluctant to carry such a charge, even though it was the truth.


    Sydney sneered, "It''s not because of you? Six years ago, your mother and you thought that Skylight


    Corporation would go bankrupt, so your mother and you absconded with Dad''s final capital and ran


    away. Thus, Dad got into trouble more deeply and jumped from the building tomit suicide in


    despair. Isn''t it enough to show that Dad''s death is because of your mother and you?" "Don''t talk


    nonsense!" Madeline clenched her fists tightly. "You also said that Dadmitted suicide. Then


    why did you say that his death was because of my mother and me? Don''t frame us. It''s not rted


    to us."


    Hearing Madeline''s cold-blooded chicanery, Sydney shook her head ironically. "You''re so horrible.


    Are you still Dad''s daughter?"


    "No, I''m not!" Madeline straightened up her neck and said without hesitation, "When Dad defended


    you, criticized me and beat me, I didn''t regard him as my dad anymore.


    Sydney widened her eyes in disbelief. "Just because of that, you hate Dad and are even reluctant to


    admit that you''re his daughter?


    Madeline sneered, "Is it not enough?”


    Sydney closed her eyes, took a deep breath, tried her best to suppress her anger and said, "Do you


    know the reason why did Dad criticize you and beat you? It''s because you always bullied me and


    stirred up trouble. No matter how he exined to you, you were reluctant to listen to him. Thus, he


    criticized and beat you. He did that for your own good. He wanted you to remember the lessons and


    clean up your act. To my surprise, you hate him and are even reluctant to admit that you''re his


    daughter because of that!"


    Madeline''s face twisted in anger. She shouted, "For my own good? It is easy for you to say. You''re


    not the one who was criticized and beaten by him. Of course, you can say so. I don''t think that he


    did that for my own good. In his heart, only you were his good daughter. I was just a bad daughter


    who brought disgrace on him. I''m afraid that he even regretted that he had a daughter like me."


    Sydney was shocked. "Are you out of your mind?"


    Madeline red at her. "I''m not out of my mind. On the contrary, I''m very clear about what I''m


    saying. I heard him say so with my own ears. He said that he should have strangled me in case I


    would bring disgrace on the Raines family. Now that he treated me like that, why couldn''t my mother


    and I abscond with his capital? Do you know that I couldn''t wait to see him die at that time? When


    my mother and I heard that he had died, we were so happy about that." Madeline covered her belly


    andughed happily.


    Sydney''s face clouded over. She stopped suppressing her anger, clenched her fists, threw away the


    clutch in her hand, grabbed Madeline''s hair and forced Madeline to stand in front of the wash basin.


    Madeline didn''t expect Sydney to grab her hair. Madeline felt as if her scalp would be torn by


    Sydney and cried out in pain, "Ah! Let go of me!"
