Chapter 105 Disturbance at the Construction Site


    Zach responded and started the car.


    The moment the car drove away, he darted a nce at Sydney and Luke, sighing.


    He really did not know what President Flint was thinking when he divorced Ms. Raines for Ms.


    Madden.


    Only now that they were divorced did President Flint start paying more attention to Ms. Raines, and


    he would be unhappy when he saw Ms. Raines being intimate with her boyfriend. If he had


    known that this would happen, why did he choose to divorce her?


    The departure of the MPV did not attract Sydney and Luke''s attention.


    Sydney looked at Luke''s hand. "Didn''t you say I had something on my head? What was it?"


    "Just a piece of lint. It probably came from your clothes. I already threw it away." Luke waved his


    hand.


    Sydney nodded without suspecting him. "Well, I''ll head in now. You should head back early."


    "Okay," Luke responded.


    Then, Sydney turned and left.


    Luke stood in the same spot and saw her off. When her figure disappeared into the elevator, he did


    not leave. Instead, he raised his head to look upstairs.


    Only when he saw the light turn on in a window on a certain floor did he smile, lift his feet that had


    turned numb from standing so long, and walk away.


    The next day, Sydney arrived at Skylight and walked into her office. Before she could even sit down,


    Sophie came in with an anxious look on her face. "Bad news, President Raines."


    "What happened?" Sydney took off the bag on her shoulder.


    Sophie also did not know how to exin it and simply handed her the tablet. "See for yourself,


    President Raines."


    Sydney took the tablet skeptically and lowered her head to watch it.


    The tablet was ying a video of a disturbance. The video was a little shaky, and she could tell that


    it was shot from a phone, but it was still very clear.


    Sydney saw an old woman and a middle-aged man sitting on the ground, crying and cursing. Their


    curses were vulgar, crude, and extremely unpleasant to hear.


    They were surrounded by a group of site workers pointing at them.


    The video was not long, so it did not take long for Sydney to watch the entire video. Her expression


    was ugly. "This is our construction site, isn''t it?"


    "Yes." Sophie nodded.


    "Why are these two people causing trouble at our construction site?" Sydney pointed at the olddy


    and middle-aged woman in the video with her brows furrowed.


    Sophie sighed. "The foreman sent us the video.


    Apparently, these two women imed our excavator threw clods of earth at them and killed their


    husband and son.”


    "What?" Sydney was stunned. "Killed their husband and son?"N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    "That was what the two women said. They said that their husband and son were hit when they


    passed by at night, and they died on the spot," Sophie responded.


    Sydneyughed in anger. "At night? The site isn''t even open at night. Who would be using the


    excavator?


    Besides, the entire site is enclosed, and the excavator is operating in the center of thend. How


    could their husband and son have gotten in? Or are they saying that the clods of earth were thrown


    from hundreds of feet away?"


    It was obviously a false usation!


    Furthermore, the construction team was sent by the relevant departments. If someone was really


    killed, the departments would definitely handle it. Two women would not have been able to go to the


    scene and cause trouble.


    Sophie also found it ridiculous. "Those two women are now making a scene there and moring for


    compensation."


    "How much?" Sydney knew that the incident was fake, so she was no longer worried. She picked


    up her coffee and sipped it before asking calmly.


    "750 thousand dors." Sophie raised her fingers." They said that if we don''t pay, they''ll go online to


    make a fuss and escte it until we can''t build the factory."


    "750 thousand dors. That''s daylight robbery." Sydney sneered. "In fact, I don’t think they want the


    money. Their real purpose is to stop us from building the factory."


    750 thousand dors? Only a fool would pay that much.


    "That can''t be." Sophie was slightly incredulous." They''re just two women. Why are they stopping us


    from building the factory?"


    "They''re not the ones who are stopping us. It''s the people behind them." Sydney narrowed her


    eyes.


    Sophie''s mouth fell open. "Ms. Raines, do you mean that someone paid these two women to cause


    trouble?"


    "Most likely. Otherwise, how would two women be so bold as to ckmail us? Someone is


    obviously giving them instructions and supporting them from behind. Furthermore, the person


    behind them knows very well that we won''t and can''t take out 750 thousand dors, so their


    purpose is obvious," Sydney said in a cold voice.


    Sophie was struck by a realization. "I see. That''s despicable. Who''s doing this to us?"


    Sydney pursed her red lips. "Have you forgotten who has been pining for that piece ofnd?"


    "President Brandon Madden!" Sophie instantly said.


    Sydney nodded. "Yes, it should be him. He said he would stop us from building the factory when he


    failed to buy thend from me, and he even prevented all the engineering teams in Port City from


    building the factory for us. Now that Brandon knows that our building is still under construction, he''ll


    definitely make trouble for us."


    "He''s so shameless." Sophie cursed angrily.


    Sydney''s lips curled coldly. "Yes, he really is shameless, but it''s a good move. ording to thew,


    once there''s a death on site, we have to stop work for three months. However, the employees''


    wages and rted expenses will be paid as usual during these three months."


    "There’s also a highte payment fee for the construction period," Sophie added.


    Sydney nodded. "That''s right. If our factory can''t bepleted within the construction period, the


    umted costs will be enough to bring ourpany down. This is Brandon''s n to kill two


    birds with one stone."


    Not only would it prevent her from building the factory, but it would also destroy herpany.


    Furthermore, it could even ruin her reputation since she had allowed a person to die on her


    construction site. By then, it would be very difficult for her to make aeback. That move was


    simply ruthless!


    "What should we do now, President Raines?" Sophie looked at Sydney anxiously.


    Sydney was still not worried. Instead, she smiled. "It''s fine. If they want to make a scene, let them."


    "What do you mean?" Sophie was confused.


    Sydney did not respond to that question and asked,'' How is the progress of the relevant


    department''s museum construction?"


    "The foundation has already beenid."


    A brilliant light shed in Sydney''s eyes. "Good. Find a way to reveal to Brandon that that''s another


    factory we''re building."


    Sophie suddenly understood what was going on, and her eyes lit up. She gave Sydney a thumbs-up


    to Sydney. "President Raines, that’s a great idea."


    Sydneyughed. "Remember, he can never find out that we''re the ones who revealed it."


    "Understood." "Go on. Don’t worry about what happens after that.


    Someone will deal with Brandon for us." Sydney waved her hand.


    "Yes." With that, Sophie turned and went out.


    Not long after, Brandon received the news, and his expression darkened. "What? She''s building two


    factories?"


    "Yes. Thend is too big, and it''s too wasteful to only build one factory, so she’s building two," his


    assistant replied respectfully.


    Brandon''s old face twitched.


    That piece ofnd had a highmercial value in terms of both geographical location and


    topography. It would be a waste to build a factory there, and it would be a waste no matter how


    many factories were built there.


    At the thought that thend, which originally belonged to him, was being sullied like Sydney like


    that, Brandon’s heart ached.


    "President Madden, are we going to send someone there to make a scene as well?" the assistant


    asked carefully.


    Brandon''s old face was grim. "What do you think? This time, just send a bunch of local ruffians and


    destroy the factory!"


    "Understood." The assistant nodded and immediately got to work.


    At that moment, Julien and Zach came in from


    outside.


    "Uncle, I heard you''re going to destroy Sydney''s factory?" Julien frowned, his tone imperceptible.


    Brandon gestured to his assistant to leave before looking at Julien. "You heard everything?"


    "More or less." Julien nodded.


    Brandon''s eyes narrowed. "Are you asking that because you want to stop me and help your ex-


    wife?"
