Chapter 61 Land Deed


    "Of course!" Sydney smiled and nodded. Then, she looked at Lyra. "I have to thank you, Ms.


    Madden. If it weren''t for you, I wouldn''t have gotten so many benefits."


    Lyra bit her lower lip and said nothing.


    Julien held her waist. "Let''s go."


    "Bye, President Flint and Ms. Madden. We''ll see you back in Port City!" Sydney waved with a grin


    on her face.


    The two people left dejectedly.


    Luke closed the door and came back. "Darling, you''re amazing. You’ve wrung a fortune out of Julien


    by taking the Azure Heart thest time already, but you''ve gotten even more from him today. Their


    faces were pitch-ck when they left. It''s hrious.”


    Sydney picked up the cup at the bedside table and took a sip of water from the straw. "Such a good


    deal gifted itself to us. It''ll be a shame not to take it."


    "That''s true." Luke chuckled before looking at her with a serious expression. "But darling, are we


    really going to drop this matter?"


    "Yeah." Sydney nodded. "It’s true that we can send Lyra to prison, but that’s not necessary. Julien is


    right. Doing that will only aggravate the conflict between the Madden family and Skylight. A


    cornered rat will bite the cat. The Madden family might try to suppress Skylight with all their might."


    At present, Skylight was too weak and not a match for the Madden family.


    Thus, she must not use force against the Madden family.


    Also understanding the stakes, Luke spun his phone with his fingers. "Although it''s sad, being able


    to get so many things is also not bad, especially that piece ofnd. Brandon Madden would


    probably jump in anger when he finds out."


    Sydney could not help butugh at his description. "I heard a long time ago that Brandon wanted to


    develop a manor in Port City. His goal was to build the first vi neighborhood in Port City, but we


    took away thend from him. He''ll definitely feel the pain from that."


    Luke shrugged and gloated. "It''s his fault for having a daughter who’s bad luck to her father and


    fiance!"


    Bad luck to her father and fiance?


    It sounded quite urate. Thest time when Lyra ndered Sydney for hitting her in a car


    ident, she ruined Brandon''s borate celebration banquet and even gave away Julien’s


    carefully prepared Azure Heart.


    This time, Lyra caused Sydney to fall and resulted in Julien losing amercial port, as well as


    Brandon losing a plot ofnd. All those losses were her


    bringing bad luck to her father and fiance.


    At that thought, Sydney tutted twice and suddenly felt some sympathy for Brandon and Julien.


    "By the way, darling.” Luke brought his face to hers. " What are you going to do with thatnd?"


    Sydney raised her hand and pushed his face away expressionlessly. “Build a factory. Skylight needs


    its own factory. We can''t always rely on otherpanies to make our goods."


    She could not forget the spite and rudeness President Smith and the others showed her back at


    Red Plum Vi.


    She never wanted to go through that a second time, nor did she want to go around begging others


    to make her goods.


    "You’re already looking so far ahead, huh? You''re amazing, darling. I support you." Luke patted her


    shoulder.


    "Thanks." Sydney smiled, and it was rare that she did not shake his arm off.


    The next day, they went back to Port City.


    As soon as they got off the ne, Sydney rushed to Skylight to meet with Michael.


    Michael sat down across her desk and looked at the bandage on her head with surprise. "Ms.


    Raines, that''s..."


    Sydney touched the injury on her head. A cold glint shed in her eyes but disappeared just as


    quickly, and she ced a cup of coffee in front of Michael with a smile. "A rat yed a trick on me."


    "I see." Michael smiled and did not ask further.


    Sydney took the document that Sophie had handed her. "President Idris, this is the acquisition


    contract for SweetHeart. Please take a look and see if anything needs to be amended?"


    Sydney ced the contract on the table, turned it upside down, and pushed it to Michael.


    Michael flipped through the pages. When he saw the uses at the end saying that Skylight would


    not participate in the internal management of SweetHeart and that there would be no changes to


    thepany''s name, he finally nodded with satisfaction. "I see no problems with it.”


    Sydney smiled in relief. Then, she picked up a pen and unscrewed it before handing it to him with


    the tip facing herself. "In that case, please sign here, President Idris. The finance department will


    transfer the money to your ount within half an hour."


    Michael hummed and took the pen to sign his name on the line.


    From then on, SweetHeart had be a subsidiary of Skylight.


    Sydney closed the document and handed it to Sophie."


    Keep it safe." "Yes, President Raines." Sophie took the document and left.


    After that, Sydney stood up. "It''s gettingte, President Idris. Let me treat you to lunch."


    "No need. I have an appointment after this. Maybe next time." Michael waved his hand and rejected


    her invitation.


    Sydney did not force him either, and she walked him to the elevator before going back to her office.


    At that moment, the phone on her desk rang.


    Sydney released the mouse and picked up the receiver. "Hello?"


    "President Raines, someone from Flint Corporation is here, saying that he''s delivering some kind of


    land deed. Will you see him?" Sophie inquired over the phone.


    Sydney’s red lips slowly curled up into a grin. "Yes, of course. Who came?"


    She did not expect Julien to be so proactive as to send and deed over as soon as she came


    back.


    "President Flint’s assistant, Zach."


    "Let him in."


    After hanging up the phone, Sydney stared at the office door.


    Soon, the door opened, and Sophie led Zach in.


    "Ms. Raines." Zach stood in front of Sydney’s desk and greeted her politely.


    With a smile, Sydney pointed to the chair. "Have a seat, Zach. Sophie, pour our guest a cup of


    coffee."


    "Yes," Sophie responded and quickly poured a cup of coffee beforeing back.


    Zach thanked her, pulled out the chair, and sat down. Then, he handed the two documents in his


    hand to Sydney. "Ms. Raines, there are two documents. One is the transfer letter for themercial


    port, and the other is thend deed of thend in the city center. Please have a look at them."


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    "Okay. Please wait a moment. It’ll only take me a short while."


    With that, Sydney flipped open one of the documents and read it carefully.


    Sitting opposite her, Zach secretly sized her up, feeling more surprised the more he looked at her.


    He could not imagine that the president''s ex-wife had changed so much in such a short period of


    time. It was like she had shed her old skinpletely and be someone bright and dazzling.


    On the other hand, Ms. Raines, whom he always thought was beautiful and kind, had be


    sinister and diabolical.


    What a shame!


    Sydney could sense Zach’s stare but could not care less about it as she quietly read the two


    documents.


    After reading, she closed them and put them to the side. "Zach.”


    "Yes?" Zach froze. However, he immediately came to his senses and pushed the rim of his sses.


    "My apologies, Ms. Raines. Did you call me?"


    Sydney nodded with a smile. "I’ve read the documents. Thank you for making this trip. Please


    convey my thanks to President Flint as well."


    "Of course. I''ll be sure to pass it on. In that case, I''ll take my leave now." Zach stood up and said


    goodbye.


    "Sophie, see Zach out." Sydney looked at Sophie, who was standing to the side.


    "This way, please.” Sophie held her hand out in a gesture before sending the person out.


    When she came back, she was surrounded by a group of colleagues.


    “Sophie, that was President Flint''s personal assistant, right? Why did hee to ourpany? Is


    he here to look for President Raines?"


    "Did President Flint tell Zach to send something to President Raines? Last time, it was mangoes.


    What was it this time?"


    "Say, President Flint and President Raines are divorced, but they still keep in contact regrly. Are


    they going to remarry?"


    Sophie shrugged her hands at the gossipy inquiries and responded helplessly, "How would I know


    about that? Alright, alright. Stop gossiping about your superiors and get back to work. You''ll be done


    for if President Raineses out to check on you."


    At those words, the people stopped dallying and immediately dispersed.


    Only after that did Sophie return to Sydney''s office." President Raines, I''ve sent him away."
