Chapter 997 Do It Myself


    Sydney pressed her be, slightly closed her eyes, and said, "I naturally thought of this, so I


    don''t want to mortgage this building."


    "That''s good." Luke nodded and got worried again. "Then what are you going to mortgage?"


    Sydney opened her eyes and answered slowly, "The Raines family''s vi."


    Luke was slightly stunned. "You''re going to..."


    "Yeah." Sydney nodded.


    "But that vi was left behind by your mom. Can you bear to do so?" Luke looked at her.


    Sydney tucked her hair behind her ear. "Honestly, at first I couldn''t, but now I think it''s okay. That


    vi was indeed left behind by my mom and was filled with the memories of my formative years, but


    some disgusting guys also lived there."


    As she said that, her eyes narrowed with a hint of hatred.


    Luke captured it and understood what Sydney meant, sighing with pity, "Madeline and Kaylie."


    "Yes." Sydney gripped the pen. "That vi was originally the coziest home for me and my parents,


    but in the end, it was defiled by Kaylie and Madeline. That was why I chose to live in Shallow Bay


    rather than there. There is no trace of my mother in that vi. There are only the disgusting scents


    left by Kaylie and Madeline."


    "That''s right." Luke picked up the ss of water in front of him and took a sip. "If it were me, I''d be


    disgusted too, and I''m afraid I''d have sold the vi long ago. Out of sight, out of mind. How could


    you keep it for so long?"


    Sydney gave a self-deprecating smile. "I keep it just because it was bought by my mom and was


    once the home of me and my parents. That''s all. Yet now I feel I was wrong. That vi had been


    dirtied long ago. If my mom were alive, she might not want to keep it either."


    "Definitely." Luke looked at her and nodded repeatedly. "Your mom loved you so much, so she left


    the vi to you after she passed away, but she didn''t expect that Kaylie and Madeline would live in


    the vi, bully you, and even poison your father. How could your mother want to keep that vi if she


    were alive? I support you to mortgage the vi. After all, that is not the vi before. It''s good to


    mortgage it. In the future, you won''t need to think about it."


    "Yeah," Sydney answered softly.


    Luke asked, "By the way, have you had the value of the vi appraised?"


    Sydney picked up the cup of coffee in front of her and took a sip. "Yes, in the past two days, I''ve


    contacted a professional appraiser to have the vi appraised. Although the vi is old, like this


    building, its location is very good. Plus, after purchasing thend, my mother used my grandfather''s


    connections to hire the most famous building designer, so this vi is valuable. It is worth at least 1


    hundred million dors."


    She held up a finger.


    Luke smiled, "That''s great. It''s more than enough to help you get through this situation, but have


    you made an appointment with the bank?"


    "Yes, I''ll go there this afternoon to go through the mortgage formalities." Sydney put down her coffee


    cup.


    "Then I''ll go with you. It''s better than going alone." Luke nced at his watch.


    Sydney shrugged. "I''m fine with that, yet I heard from your mom that the Chase Corporation was


    going to transform, so aren''t you very busy recently? Do you have time?"

    "It''s almost done. I''m even ready for the New Year''s Day," Luke smiled smugly.


    "Okay then, let''s go together." Sydney had no reason to object. She suddenly remembered


    something and looked at Luke. "By the way, my assistant just said that you were stopped by


    Stephen downstairs. What happened? What did he stop you for?"


    As he heard this, Luke''s expression suddenly became ugly. He put the coffee cup on the table with


    a thud andined, "He was crazy. As soon as he saw me, he dragged me to his office and said


    something inexplicable. At first, I did not quite understand what he said. Later, I realized that he was


    trying to divide you and me."


    "Divide you and me?" Sydney''s face showed a sh of surprise, and then it darkened.


    Luke replied, "Yes. I didn''t want to listen, so I just walked away."


    Sydney frowned tightly and didn''t say anything, apparently unable to figure out what Stephen was


    up to.


    Luke was not working for Skylight. He was just a nominal director of Skylight, not at all involved in


    Skylight''s management and business.


    So Luke''s existence would not threaten Stephen.


    Sydney wondered, ''Why did Stephen want to divide Luke and me?


    ''What trick is Stephen ying?''


    "Syd, what are you thinking?" Luke waved his hand in front of Sydney''s face.


    Sydney blinked,ing out of her trance. She shook her head slightly and smiled, "I am just


    thinking about Stephen''s reasons for doing that."


    Luke twisted his mouth. "What''s the point of thinking this? Stephen has always disliked us, and we


    dislike him too, so no matter what he does, eventually, we are going to fight with him. Thus, there is


    no need to think about what he is doing. Let''s just fight with him."


    Sydneyughed, "Yes, you''re right. Since the results won''t change, there is really no need to think


    about the process. Just wait for the results. You''re smart. If you had not pointed it out, I would think


    a lot and get annoyed."


    "Yeah, I''m just so smart." Luke raised an eyebrow at her frivolously.


    Sydney lowered her head and smiled, suddenly bing much more rxed.


    The way she and Luke got on now made Sydney feel like they had gone back to the past.


    Today, Luke was no different from his past self.


    If this continued, it would be best.


    Meanwhile, Julien walked out of a dark room with a frosty face. Zach followed him with the same


    expression.


    "Mr. Flint, here''s the handkerchief." Zach soaked a handkerchief and handed it to Julien with both


    hands.


    Julien stopped, turned slightly, took the handkerchief, lowered his head to wipe his hands, and


    continued on his way.


    Behind him, Zach was also wiping his hands with a handkerchief. He said disgustedly, "That old guy


    is really stubborn. He actually resisted until we used pincers. We underestimated him, but Mr. Flint,


    you should have let me pull his teeth. Why did you have to do it yourself?"


    Hearing this, Julien, who was walking ahead, threw the handkerchief, stepped on it, and said in a


    cold voice, "It was rted to my beloved woman. Of course, I had to do it myself."


    The words "my beloved woman" instantly made Zach speechless, and he wanted to p himself in


    the face.
