Chapter 610 Luke''s Call
Madelineshed out for a while, but the staff from the property managementpany did note
back, instead some passers-by cast nces at her and whispered to each other.
Madeline felt humiliated. She hurriedly got up from the ground, grabbed her suitcase, and headed
for the parking lot with her head down.
Getting into her car, Madeline took out her cell phone and called Sydney. Her face twisted with
anger.
Sydney was at her apartment in Shallow Bay. She had juste out of the shower and was about
to blow dry her hair.
Just as Sydney got to the blow dryer, her phone rang.
Sydney thought it was Julien telling her that he had arrived home. She hurriedly put down the hair
dryer and went to her bed to answer the phone.
However, it turned out not to be Julien but was an unfamiliar number. Sydney''s bright eyes
immediately dimmed.
It''s not Julien.''
Sydney pursed her lips and answered the phone," Hello, Sydney is speaking."
"Sydney, how could you let the staff from the property managementpany kick me out of the
vi?" A woman''s harsh voice came through the phone. The woman''s tone was full of rage and
resentment and sounded threatening.
Sydney furrowed her brows and replied indifferently," I was wondering who it was. Madeline, are
you calling to me me? I''m telling you clearly that you have the wrong person. The vi is mine,
and of course I have the right to throw you out. I can even call the police and sue you for
trespassing."
"You..." Madeline was choked. Her face was pale and had aplicated look on it. It looked very
funny.
After a moment, Madeline took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and threatened in a somber
voice, "Very well, Sydney. Remember I won''t let you go for what you did tonight! One day I''m going
to make you regret it!"
After that, Madeline hung up the phone bluntly because she knew she couldn''t argue with Sydney
and that she was the one who was in the wrong. If she continued to talk to Sydney, she would be
humiliated by Sydney, so she better hang up the phone.
Looking at the hung-up phone, Sydney had a sneer.
''She''s going to make me regret it one day? OK, then I''ll wait to see who will regret it in the end!''

Just after Sydney dropped the phone back onto the nightstand, her phone screen lit up again.
A message popped up on the screen. It was from Julien.
Immediately, Sydney''s eyes sparkled with joy. She hurriedly picked up her phone and checked the
message, "Are you asleep?"
Sydney replied, "Not yet. Are you home?"
On the other end of the line, Julien was sitting on the couch, loosening his tie. Just after he had
loosened his tie, he felt the phone buzz on hisp.
He hurriedly looked down at his phone. It was a message from Sydney.
Julien curled up the corners of his lips slightly, picked up the phone with his right hand and replied,
"Yes, I''m home."
Sydney sat down on the edge of her bed and texted,'' Good. It''ste. Take a shower and go to bed.
Don''t stay up toote."
Looking at Sydney''s caring words, Julien''s eyes became soft. He replied, "Okay, you too. Good
night.''
Sydney had a smile on the corners of her lips. "Good night."
Putting down his phone, Julien got up and headed to the study.
Once in the study, he grabbed a pen from the pen container on his desk and then crossed out
today''s date on his calendar.
After that, he dropped the pen back into the pen container and picked up the calendar.
He tapped the dates on the calendar with his long, slender finger.
When Julien looked at dates, his eyes narrowed slightly.
''It''s going to be soon. 13 days to go! In 13 days, Sydney will get back together with me!''
Julien stared at the calendar for a while. Then he put it down, walked out of the study, and went
back to his room to go to bed.
If it was before, he would never have gone to bed at this hour. He definitely had to stay in the study
and be busy with his work.
He was the CEO of Flint Corporation, and there was tons of work for him to deal with every day. He
couldn''t finish all the work during the daytime. He used to workte in the study.
But he didn''t want to stay upte tonight.
Sydney told him to go to bed early, so he would listen to her.
They said a good man should always listen to his wife, and there was no shame in it, because it
was out of love.
On the other side, Sydney didn''t know that Julien cherished her so much now. After blow-drying her
hair, she turned off the lights and went to bed. The next morning, she was awakened by a phone
call.
It was Luke, and as soon as Sydney picked up the phone, before she could say anything, Luke
lashed out at her, "Syd, what the hell is going on? How did Madeline be the VP of Skylight?"
Sydney rubbed her eyes at Luke''s question. She sat up from the bed, leaned back, yawned, and
answered, '' She took five and a half percent of thepany''s shares from me, so I gave her the
position."
"What? Why did you give her five and a half percent of the shares?" Luke asked, very confused.
Sydney took a sip of the water to moisten her throat and replied, "The shares I gave her were from
the eleven percent that I inherited from my dad, not the ones you and Grandpa purchased for me.
Dad didn''t leave a will to divide his estate before he died, so Madeline and I had to split the shares
he left. Even if I don''t give them to her, if Madeline sues me in the court, the court will reach a
verdict for me to split the shares with her. And when she came back to the country, she intended to
take the shares and Skylight. If it wasn''t you and my grandfather who had purchased the shares for
me, Madeline would have taken half of my shares yesterday."
After hearing Sydney''s words, Luke calmed down. But he still felt indignant, "She doesn’t deserve
that."
Sydney had a wry smile, "Well, she''s Dad''s daughter too."
"What about the position?" Luke frowned, "How important is the position of vice president! Why did
you give her that position? She doesn''t know anything about business, and she''s a very ambitious
woman. By giving her that position, you could get yourself into trouble if she''s up to something."
"Don''t worry, Luke. I''ve considered all that. You know Madeline is a very ambitious woman. If I just
gave her a random position, she wouldn''t take it. She''d make a scene in the office, which will
jeopardise ourpany image, so I gave her a high position, but she wouldn''t have any executive
powers or ess to any of thepany''s confidential information. Keeping her close to me makes
me feel at ease. If she’s up to something, I will learn about it right away." Sydney exined.
Luke nodded, "All right. You have a point."
"By the way, Luke, how did you know that Madeline became the vice president of Skylight?" Sydney
inquired curiously.
She didn''t announce the decision to the public or didn''t tell anyone other than Julien.
So, Sydney was wondering how Luke knew about it.
On the other end of the phone, Luke was sitting in his office. Looking at hisputer, he answered,
"I saw the news on the Inte." "The news?" Sydney''s face darkened.
Luke responded, "Yes. When I turned on myputer this morning, I saw the news about Skylight''s
new vice president. I read the news. It was a personal interview with Madeline. Then I learned that
Madeline hade back and had be vice president of Skylight, so I was calling you for
confirmation."
"So that’s it." Sydney nodded.
Luke continued, "I think Sydney approached the media herself to have that interview. She wants
everyone to know about it, so her position will be more solid. She wants everyone to know that
Skylight isn''t just yours, but she also has shares in it too."
