Chapter 43 Transfer the Money
"I already announced it in front of the reporters. Do you think it''s fake?" Luke raised his brows. "I''ll
bring some wedding candy tomorrow for you to try."
"Oh, sure..."
Luke had always not taken things seriously since he was a child, and Sydney was used to it. Hence,
she shook his hand off with a straight face and walked into the office.
"Brew a pot of Earl Grey and a cup of unsweetened coffee," Luke instructed before following
Sydney into the office. "Babe, let’s talk about the acquisition of SweetHeart after you''re done
working. I searched up some information about SweetHeart..."
Sophie watched as Luke entered the office until the door closed and his voice was obscured.
She squeezed the file in her hand, her gaze darkening.
Sydney was a little out of it because she lost her virginityst night.
She could not concentrate on her work and did not hear anything Luke said. In the end, she told
Luke that he was too noisy and kicked him out of the office.
Only at noon did she manage to calm down.
She had divorced Julien long ago and was single now. It was fine even if she had slept with another
man.
What made Sydney confused was that she always had good alcohol tolerance. Besides, she had
gone to the bathroomst night to throw up and was quite sober. How did she get drunk again?
Furthermore, she had absolutely no recollection of how she met that man and went into the room
with him.
Then, she thought about the number on the paper she ripped off when she was leaving in the
morning. She took it out of her coat pocket and searched for that number on WhatsApp.
The other party soon epted her friend request.

Without waiting for the man to speak, Sydney sent a message first.
[SydneyRaines: We''re both adults. Last night was just a game between adults, so forget about it. It’ll
be better for both of us that way.]
[SydneyRaines: I transferred you 88,888 bucks.]
At that moment, Julien was still taking care of Lyra in the hospital.
Last night, he was very worried when he learned that Lyra was sent to the emergency room. It was
only when he reached the hospital did he learn that Lyra was fine. She just injured her forehead and
had slight fractures on her legs, so she had to be hospitalized for a period of time.
Lyra also woke up soon and took his hand. Her eyes were red, and there was a sob in her voice.
"I''m scared, Julien. Can you stay with me?"
Julien could not bear to refuse, so he sent Zach and Mrs. Madden back, leaving him at the hospital
himself.
Since Lyra’s face was still pale in the morning, he asked Zack to bring hisptop over so he could
work in the ward and take care of Lyra.
At noon, his phone vibrated, and a new message popped up.
He clicked in to find that it was a message from his private number. Guessing that it was from
Sydney, he switched to that number.
Julien had epted her friend request and was still thinking aboutst night when Sydney sent a
message and transferred money to him.
Looking at her message, the man furrowed his eyebrows, and his expression darkened.
That woman...
Suddenly, a piece of news popped up in his notifications.
Seeing that it was about Sydney, he clicked into it in a daze and saw Luke embracing her in the
video. Luke rified Sydney’s scandal with Cayden Lowe and made a public announcement that he
was dating Sydney, not forgetting to mock Julien in the process.
That news coupled with Sydney''s drunken babblingst night made Julien annoyed.
If it were not himst night and it was another man who hade forward to help, would she have
epted that man regardless?
Lyra had just finished a video call with Mrs. Madden and was in a good mood. As she was about to
ask Julien what to eat for lunch, she noticed that he seemed in a bad mood. At his grim expression,
he subconsciously clenched onto the quilt.
Was it because of Sydney again?
"Julien," Lyra said softly. "I see you''ve been staring at your phone. Are you busy? Why don’t you go
back to the office first? I''ll be fine alone."
Julien looked away from his phone. "I''m not busy. I''ll stay in the hospital with you today."
"Okay." Lyra smiled. "What do you want to eat for lunch today?"
She pretended to order takeaway and opened her phone again but ''identally'' clicked into a news
app. When she saw the news, she eximed in surprise, "Julien, did you see the news? Ms. Raines
is dating Luke Chase."
"Yeah, I just saw the notification."
"Ms. Raines insisted on divorcing you before, and I felt sorry for her. But now, I''m relieved.” Lyra
said, "Ms. Raines has found her happiness. Maybe their wedding
might be held before ours."
Julien''s eyes darkened. For some reason, he said," Luke isn''t suitable for her."
Lyra was stunned before quickly smiling. "What do you mean? They''re childhood friends, and Mrs.
Chase has always treated Sydney as her daughter-inw. Luke also told his friends that as long as
Sydney says the word, he would be willing to marry her on the spot.
"Julien, are you ufortable with the fact that Ms. Raines has a boyfriend?" Lyra asked carefully.
Her pale face was soft and pitiful.
"No," said Julien.
It was none of his business whether Luke was suitable for Sydney or not.
Since Sydney sent a message saying to forget aboutst night and that she did not need him to
take responsibility, he should no longer care about her.
Julien went over to the bed, touched Lyra’s hair, and said in a low but warm voice, "Luke is famous
for messing around with women, so I was just saying it. I married Sydney because of you, and I
don''t have feelings for her. You''re the woman I need to love and cherish."
The man then kissed her forehead. "Be good and rest well. I don''t think you want to be engaged to
me in a wheelchair, right?"
Lyra immediately shook her head and muttered, "Of course not. That’ll be too embarrassing! Why
don''t I skip lunch? I''m worried that I won''t be able to put on my dress if I lie down and do nothing.
What do you want to eat? I''ll order it for you."
Julien tapped open his phone and quickly ordered lunch. "You have to eat. I’ve ordered all your
favorites.”
"You''re doing this on purpose to fatten me up and make a fool out of me." Lyra punched the man
twice, but her tone sounded coquettish and spoiled.
She leaned in the man''s chest, very happy.
While Julien was asleep in the early morning, she woke up and got ready to receive the photos from
the other party so she could send them to the media. Unexpectedly, not only did the other party not
send her the photos, but they also returned her money.
Fortunately, that audio clip caused a great storm for Sydney.
She really had to thank Luke for it!
"Let me see what you ordered." In a very good mood, Lyra took Julien''s phone. However, her smile
suddenly froze when she saw the lunch he ordered.
Those were not her favorite dishes...
"Are you surprised?" Julien chuckled. "You wereatose for a few years, but I still remember your
favorites from our correspondence. I know you like to eat mango, so I also ordered mango fish."
She had already burned those letters. Why did he still remember the contents of those letters? Why
did he still remember that pen pal?
Lyra held back the sourness in her heart, embraced the man, and said softly, "Julien, a person''s
preferences and tastes will change. Starting today, just remember what I like to eat now, okay?"
Julien did not think much of it and hummed in agreement.
Lyra was satisfied.
She tilted up to look at the man’s thin lips. Then, she suddenly reached out to wrap her arms around
him, pulled the man down, and kissed him.
