Chapter 1057 Why Don''t You Solve It


    Outside the office, Sean, who was supposed to be busy working, was actually standing at the door,


    attentively listening to every sound within the office.


    Luke''s words had pierced her heart like a knife, causing her eyes to instantly redden and well up


    with tears.


    It turned out he was so reluctant to see her.


    She couldn''t believe she was such an eyesore in his mind.


    Sean tilted her head slightly, took a deep breath, covered her mouth and nose, and left for the


    Secretaries'' Office.


    The assistant, who had just delivered the coffee, was surprised to see Sean hurrying in with her


    head down and teary eyes. Concerned, she quickly asked, "What''s wrong?"


    "It''s nothing," Sean replied as she returned to her desk, shaking her head at the assistant. She


    wiped her eyes and forced a smile.


    "But you cried." The assistant frowned.


    Sean took off her sses and rubbed her eyes. "Thank you for your concern, but I''m really fine. It


    was just that a sad thought crossed my mind, and it momentarily affected me. I''m alright."


    She put her sses back on and smiled.


    The assistant noticed that Sean seemed less sad than when she had initially entered the office,


    which eased her worries. She nodded and said, "That''s good. I''ll get back to work then. Just so you


    know, if you ever face any difficulties, please let us know. We''ll do everything we can to help."


    Sean nodded, feeling touched. "Thank you. I will."


    In the neighboring President''s Office, Sydney and Luke were unaware that Sean had overheard


    their previous conversation and left feeling sorrowful.


    At this moment, Sydney gazed silently at the man across the desk.


    Luke had been drinking his coffee with his head down ever since he finished speaking.


    The coffee was scalding hot and bitter, but he had almost finished it in one go.


    "Alright, alright," Sydney hurriedly intervened as she saw the coffee nearing the bottom of the cup.


    She stopped the man who was about to tilt his head and finish it all. "Don''t drink it all at once. It will


    burn your throat."


    Luke halted.


    He had to stop because Sydney had grabbed his wrist.


    Observing Luke release his grip on the coffee cup, Sydney quickly pushed the cup aside and


    sighed. "Honestly, ever since you arrived here and saw Sean, you''ve changedpletely."


    "How so?" Luke frowned, reluctant to admit it.


    Sydney shook her head helplessly. "Alright, never mind. Let''s get down to business. You mentioned


    earlier that you came here regarding the online matter?"


    As soon as the topic shifted to business, Luke immediately turned serious, as if his previous


    demeanor had been nothing but an illusion.


    "Yeah." Luke''s face darkened as he spoke. "Damn! I never expected that a simple business


    discussion would end up being captured by paparazzi and spread as baseless gossip. It trulyN?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    infuriates me."


    "Yeah," Sydney concurred, nodding her head.


    Luke pounded his fist on the table. "That lousy tabloid is just despicable! How dare they publish


    something like this? Aren''t they afraid of Julien seeking revenge?"


    Unbeknownst to Luke, this incident was actually premeditated by someone.


    He believed it was merely the media''s ploy for attention, putting everything out there.


    "They have no fear." Sydney elegantly crossed her legs, a sneering smile ying on her lips. "If


    they were afraid, they wouldn''t have dared to do it."


    Luke fell silent. "You''re right. I can''t help but admire their audacity. They don''t even care about the


    consequences, all for the sake of traffic. It''s truly outrageous."


    Little did he know that there was a conspiracy behind this.


    Sydney''s lips parted as she was going to tell him everything.


    But something urred to her, and she changed her mind.


    She swallowed back her words.


    It was fine for Luke to continue thinking that way.


    If the truth were toe out, with Luke''s fiery temper, he might charge straight into them.


    "By the way," Luke squeezed his palm, his eyes filled with concern as he looked at Sydney. "Has


    Julien wrongly used you because of this incident? Did he doubt you?"


    In any case, the main characters involved in this scandal were him and Sydney.


    Although his face hadn''t been recognized in the online photos yet, he was still implicated in the


    scandal with her.


    He feared that it would cause a rift between Sydney and Julien.


    And in situations like this, it was often the woman who suffered the most.


    If a dispute rose between them, Sydney would bear the brunt of the consequences.


    Luke didn''t want to witness her endure such distress.


    Luke''s concern sent a warm current coursing through Sydney''s heart. She shook her head slightly


    and reassured him, "Don''t worry, everything is fine."


    "Really?" Luke still seemed unsure.


    Sydney nodded. "Yeah."


    Although she hadn''t contacted Julien, Zack had found out that the rumor online was fabricated and


    that someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes.


    There was no reason Julien couldn''t see through it.


    He was not that stupid.


    Besides, that was not important. The point was how Julien was going to deal with it.


    "Ah, what a relief," Luke eximed, his hand instinctively reaching for his chest as he released a


    long sigh of relief. "You have no idea how anxious I was during the journey. I was driving like a man


    possessed, fearing that he would misconstrue things. But thank goodness, he didn''t disappoint me."


    "He''s not a fool; he knows why we went to the hotel yesterday," Sydney chuckled. "Besides, if he


    doesn''t believe me, then there''s no point in continuing with him."


    Luke nodded vigorously. "You''re right. But if he knows why we went to the hotel, then did you also


    tell him about the conversation between Mr. Houston and mest night?"


    "Yeah," Sydney said, tucking her hair behind her ears. "You guys were right. I''m currently in a


    vulnerable position, and I''ll inevitably need his help. So, it''s better to be open about it."


    "That''s true," Luke heartily smiled. "In that case, he won''t suspect that our visits to the hotel have


    any ulterior motives. But why haven''t you two resolved this matter yet?"


    Luke was confused. "If we just release the hotel surveince footage and rify our positions


    online, the issue can be resolved. It''s very simple. But now, it has been brewing for so long, and the


    online bacsh is growing stronger. Yet, both you and Julien seem unhurried. Do you have other


    ns?"


    Initially, when he saw the scandal online, he wanted to step forward and rify things immediately.


    However, his mother had stopped him.


    She had told him not to rush into rifications and toe to Skylight Corporation to discuss it with


    Sydney first.


    During the car ride, he thought a lot. Considering what he knew about Sydney, she wasn''t someone


    who would dy matters.


    It was especially true for this matter. The scandal would tarnish her reputation and affect her


    rtionship with Julien.


    The longer they waited, the more troublesome it would be, and the harder it would be to


    counter the rumors online.


    Most importantly, theck of rification only made people believe that the rumors were true, and


    the reason for not speaking up was seen as a sign of weakness.


    Dragging it out for too long would be detrimental to everyone involved.
