Chapter 252 Pressing on Her Lipstick Mark
Finn noticed it. His eyes were as cold as a venomous snake, but his voice was gentle. "There''s no
need to kill her. Sometimes, it''s more painful to be alive than dead."
"What do you mean?" Lyra frowned, obviously a little dissatisfied that he said he would not kill
Sydney.
Finn''s sses glinted. "I mean, wouldn''t it be better to find a few people and take a video as they
ruin her? That way, not only will the child in her belly be gone, she''ll be worse off than dead as well."
Lyra''s eyes glowed. ''He''s right. It''s too easy to let Sydney die just like that. Letting her live in pain for
the rest of her life is better.
''That way, even if Julien finds out that Sydney is Maple Leaf, he won''t love her anymore because
she was defiled by others.
''Sydney won''t be able to lift her head for the rest of her life either. She''ll be pointed at no matter
where she goes. Even Skylight will be a joke because of her.
''It''s not enough to just kill her. I have to kill her heart as well!''
Lyra''s body trembled with excitement.
Finn''s eyes were obscure. "It seems you’re in favor of this idea, right?"
"That''s right." Lyra nodded.
Not only was she in favor of it. She could not wait for it to happen!
"When are you going to do it?" she asked eagerly.
"Tomorrow. Are you interested in watching?" Finn''s voice was slightly sultry as he spun his sharp
scalpel.
Lyra''s eyes flickered for a moment before her lips curled up. "Of course. I want to see Sydney being
pulled into hell with my own eyes!"
"Great. I''ll lure Sydney to North Shore Avenue tomorrow since there aren''t many people there. You
can wait for me there." Finn''s thumb scraped the de of the scalpel.
Lyra hung up the phone excitedly, her eyes sinister and poisonous. "You''re finished, Sydney!"
"Ah-choo!" In the president''s office of Flint Corporation, Sydney had just opened her notes when the
tip of her nose itched and she sneezed, caught off guard.
Julien ced a cup of ck tea in front of her. "Are you cold?"
"I''m fine." Sydney tightened the slim suit jacket around her body.
The office was heated, so it was not very cold.
However, she suddenly felt a chill run up her spine a moment earlier, making her shiver.
Julien watched her movements, pursed his lips, and picked up the remote to turn up the heating in
the office. "You won''t be cold now."
"Thank you, President Flint." Sydney gave him a polite smile.
She did not think he was doing this because he cared about her.
It was just a concern for a partner. If it were her, she would have done the same.
Julien hummed, indicating that it was nothing much. Then, he put the remote control aside and sat
down beside her.
Sydney smelled the mint fragranceing from him and was stunned for a moment. Her thoughts
drifted to more than ten years ago when she first met him.
Under the tree, the breeze blew. The young girl who secretly took a picture of her beloved boy
smelled the fragranceing from him. This smell was the same, but she no longer had the heart-
warming feeling she had before.
That was because although the fragrance was the same, the person was not.
Taking a deep breath, Sydney suppressed the emotions in her heart and looked at Julien with
complicated eyes. "President Flint, you should change your cologne. This smell doesn''t suit you.
You''re more
suited for ocean fragrances."
Julien frowned at those words.
''I''ve been using this mint fragrance for more than ten years. Since Maple Leaf liked it, I used it all
the time. This was the first time someone told me that I''m not suitable for this fragrance.
''Also, what was the look in her eyes earlier? If I''m not mistaken, it seemed like she was looking at
another person through me.
''Who was it? Layden? Or Luke?''
Sydney raised her brows when she felt the cold air around the man.
''Did my suggestion offend him?''
At that thought, Sydney tugged her lips and smiled sheepishly. "My apologies, President Flint. I was
too nosy. Just forget I said that."
Julien pressed his thin lips into a straight line. "Am I really not suitable for this fragrance?"

"Huh?" Sydney was stunned. She did not expect that he would ask whether he was suitable or not
instead of getting angry at her.
"Do you want me to tell the truth or lie?" Sydney asked while drinking the ck tea.
Julien looked at her. "What do you think?"
Sydney smiled. "Fine, then I''ll tell you the truth. The current you don''t suit it."
"What do you mean the current me?" Julien narrowed his eyes.
He felt that her words seemed to be hiding something.
However, Sydney shook her head and did not want to say anything more. She put down her cup
and pushed her notebook in front of him. "President Flint, please tell me about these points I drew."
Julien looked at her deeply for a while. In the end, he put down the questions in his heart and taught
her about the contents of the meeting she did not understand.
After more than an hour, Sydney closed her notebook, stood up, and bowed to Julien. "Thank you,
President Flint. I have a good idea of what''s going on now."
She had to admit that Julien was a very good teacher.
Even if she was just ayman who had never studied new energy before, when he exined it to
her, she was mostly able to understand the parts she did not get before. She could figure out the
rest when she went back and flipped over some books.
It was clear that tomorrow''s analytical paper would be no problem.
"Don''t mention it." Julien reached out and tried to help Sydney up.
However, Sydney stood up straight and evaded his movements.
Julien looked at his hand suspended in the air and his eyes darkened. Then, he acted as if nothing
happened and withdrew his hand indifferently. "We''re working together as a group, and I don''t want
anyone to slow down the progress of the whole team. In the future, you can ask me directly if
there''s anything you don''t understand. There''s no need to hide it all by yourself."
Hearing him say that, Sydney thought, ''I was right.
''He''s just giving me special treatment because he doesn''t want me to hold back the team.''
Sydney smiled when her suspicions were verified.
This was better. This way, she would not feel pressured or think about nonsense.
"I know. Thank you in advance, President Flint." She looked at Julien.
Julien lowered his eyes. "Don''t mention it."
"Well, it''s gettingte, so I''ll leave now. See you tomorrow." Sydney raised her wrist and looked at
her watch.
Julien''s thin lips twitched as if he wanted to tell her to stay.
In the end, he did not say anything and watched as she walked out of the office.
Bam!
As the office door closed, Julien was the only one left in therge office.
He withdrew his gaze from the doorway and looked at the ce Sydney had just sat. No one knew
what he was thinking.
After a few seconds, his eyes moved again, and looked at the coffee table to the side. On the table
was the ck tea that she had drunk, and on the edge of the cup was a bright red lipstick clearly
printed on it.
Julien''s eyes darkened when he saw that lipstick mark. He subconsciously reached out to pick up
the cup. Then, his lips pressed against the lipstick mark and he took a sip of the tea inside.
The ck tea was already cold, and the cool liquid flowed down his throat into his stomach. Julien
suddenly snapped back to his senses and his expression changed. He hurriedly put the cup down
and clenched his fists.
''What am I doing?''
He looked down at his hand, his eyes dark and obscure.
''How could I have drank tea that Sydney had drunk before?
''Was I manipted by that mysterious force again?''
