Jayden almost got hit on the nose by the door but fortunately managed to brake in time.
Then, he sighed and turned to leave dejectedly.
The next day, Sydney and Luke were reading data in the office when Sophie hurriedly came in. "Bad news, President Raines. Brandon Madden was released."
"What?" Sydney's face changed. "He was released?"
"When did this happen?" Luke asked.
Sophie glanced at him and answered respectfully," This morning. He also made a post on Trison Corporation's official website saying that he was taken away by officers not because he broke the law, but to cooperate with the investigation of another matter. Trison Corporation's stock market has stabilized now."
"How could that be?" Luke's brows furrowed deeply.
Sydney bit her lip. "Something must’ve happened, otherwise, Brandon wouldn’t have been released."
"I'll have someone ask around," Luke said and took his phone to the balcony.
Sydney lowered her eyes, the expression on her face unpleasant. Her mood was also very agitated.
She thought that after Brandon went to jail, she would be able to bring down Trison Corporation sooner.
After all, without the old fox Brandon, Trison Corporation would be like a tiger with its teeth pulled out. They would no longer be as powerful as before. Unexpectedly, Brandon came out so soon and completely disrupted her plan.
At that thought, Sydney rubbed her temples.
At that moment, someone knocked on the office door.
Sydney put down her hand. "Come in."
The person outside came in. It was the secretary of Skylight Corporation's president, Stephen Dayton.
Why was his secretary here?
"Is something wrong?" Sydney looked at him and asked faintly.
The secretary smiled at Sydney and replied, "Vice President Raines, President Dayton wants you to go to the conference room for a meeting.”
Sydney's eyes widened at those words.
Stephen Dayton was back!
When did this happen?
Sydney immediately looked at Sophie, who was waiting quietly at the side.
Sophie also shook her head in surprise, indicating that she did not know either. She had not heard of
President Dayton's return.
Sydney pursed her lips. Her mood was heavy, but she raised a light smile on her face. "Alright. Tell President Dayton that I'll be right there."
"Certainly," the secretary answered and left.
Luke came in and felt that the atmosphere in the office was off. Sydney's expression was also a little bad, so he could not help but ask Sophie, "What's wrong with my darling?"
Although Sophie was used to hearing him call Sydney his "darling", her heart still felt uncomfortable every time she heard it.
Sophie lowered her eyes, covering the hurt in her gaze, and tried to make her tone sound natural as she replied, "President Dayton is back."
"Huh? When did he come back? How was there no news of this at all?" Luke narrowed his eyes.
Sydney pursed her lips. "It seems he deliberately came back without letting us know. He's afraid that we’ll stop him."
In the entire Skylight Corporation, the person who did not welcome her the most was undoubtedly Stephen Dayton. Stephen was part of the group who used to be with her father the longest. After her father died, Skylight Corporation fell into Stephen's hands.
Last month, if not for Stephen's business trip, even if Sydney was the largest shareholder of Skylight
Corporation, she would not have been able to get the management rights of Skylight. Stephen was probably afraid that she would stop him from coming back for the management rights, so he hid his whereabouts and came back secretly.
"Is he delusional?" Luke rolled his eyes.
Sydney sighed and stood up. "Well, let's go to the conference room first."
Luke did not say anything else and nodded, heading to the conference room with her.
Just as the two were approaching the conference room, she suddenly received a call from Julien.
Sydney was first surprised and then declined the call, not intending to answer it.
