Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 27

"What's wrong, Lyra?" Velma asked when she saw that Lyra had seemingly gone pale.

Lyra immediately turned her phone away and said softly, "It's nothing. My mom sent a message asking when I'm going back. I'll reply to her later."

Velma turned to the front to talk to Julien without suspecting her.

After making sure that Velma was not looking that way, Lyra picked up her phone again and looked at the WhatsApp message her friend sent.

That friend was also playing at Red Plum Resort today and said that she saw Julien. She was just about to say hello to him, but she saw Julien chasing after Sydney. The two of them stood by the car and chatted for a long time.

Lyra turned off the media volume and tapped on the video.

In the video, Julien said something to Sydney. Then, he carried her into the car, got into the driver’s seat of her car, and drove away.

It was just a short ten-second video, but it caused Lyra's hands and feet to turn cold. She clutched her phone tightly.

Were they not divorced?

Why did Julien get into Sydney’s car and lie to her?

Lyra remembered that night at the banquet. Julien seemed to be on Lyra’s side, but the moment Sydney spoke, he gave her the Azure Heart that was worth more than a hundred million dollars so as not to embarrass her. Now, this video today...

Lyra began to panic. She felt like even if Julien and Sydney were divorced, Julien did not belong to her.

Was she destined to not obtain what she had stolen?

By the time Sydney woke up in the hotel, it was already the next morning.

She remembered that she had gotten wet last night and must have caught a cold. However, she was refreshed when she woke up.

Soon, she remembered that Julien had insisted on sending her back to Shallow Bay. While she was in a daze, she seemed to have felt someone feeding her something...

Was it Julien?

Sydney brushed away the images in her head, washed up quickly, and left the hotel.

After arriving at the company, she called Sean in. "The boss of ZX will come to the office to sign the contract later, so get the contract ready."

Sean was stunned. "You made a deal with ZX, Ms.

Raines?" "Yeah." Although Sydney did not want to admit it, if Julien had not come to the private room yesterday afternoon, the boss of ZX would not have relented and taken the order from Skylight.

She owed Julien a favor.

"Okay." Sean nodded and quickly retreated to prepare the contract.

Sydney took off her coat and hung it on the coat rack. She was just about to sit down and handle the documents Sean sent when the office phone at the table rang.

She picked it up. "Hello?"

"Ms. Raines, there's a gentleman named Hunter Cohen who wants to meet you," the receptionist reported. "Do you know him?"

Sydney said, "Bring him up."

Soon, there was a knock on the door, and the receptionist led a man in.

The man was dressed in comfortable and casual clothes. His hair was dark and thick with slightly curled ends, and his features were so perfect that it was impossible to pick out a single flaw. He was handsome and dashing.

His narrow eyes casually swept through the office before they finally landed on Sydney.

"Ms. Raines, you really are adaptable." Hunter walked to the table, pulled out a chair to sit down, and chatted amicably with Sydney. "You've only been in Skylight for a few days, but you're already a proper leader. I can't tell that you've been a housewife for six years at all."

"Well, neither did I expect the suave, womanizing playboy to be the mayor's youngest son." Sydney did not show weakness when it came to being sharp-tongued.

Hunter raised his brows. "Ms. Raines, I was complimenting you for finally being yourself, but you're dissing me instead?"

"I'm also complimenting you for being very good with the ladies."

Hunter knew that the woman may look meek and dignified, but she had a harsh tongue. He adjusted his sitting posture and said, "I know Skylight wants ZX to handle the overseas orders, but I have a factory in my hands that makes overseas goods at a better quality."

"You mean you want to introduce me to resources?" Sydney looked at him in surprise. "Why?"

Hunter shrugged and spoke in a laid-back tone, "We're working together, and I just so happen to have good resources to introduce to you. Think of it as a favor!"

Sydney did not believe him. "Mr. Cohen, we've only met once before, and we don't know each other that well. We're also working together on equal terms.

Other people want nothing more than to avoid having anything to do with Skylight, much less send resources to us.”

If Hunter had known that Sydney was such a suspicious person, he would not have answered that call yesterday.

"I'm lying. Actually, I don't want you to cooperate with ZX," Hunter said seriously. He pulled out his phone and showed her a picture. "This is my girlfriend, but she was seduced by President Smith’s son, and the two went abroad together."

As he spoke, he revealed an expression of deep love. "I love this girlfriend very much. I gave her a car, a house, and jewelry, yet she ran away with another man. Am I a man if I don't take revenge?"

Sydney looked at the woman in the photo. "Your girlfriend is quite beautiful, but I can't believe you got cheated on."

Hunter ignored her sympathetic eyes. "Yes, I can’t stand being cheated on, so I want to take revenge on ZX! All my friends aren't allowed to cooperate with ZX. You and I are partners as well, so you can't cooperate with ZX.

"My factory's standard for foreign goods is even higher than that of ZX's. Trust me." Hunter fiddled with his phone. "I’ll send you the number of the person in charge of You2."

"You2?” Sydney was slightly shocked.

She knew about You2 Manufacturing, a very famous factory in South Lake. Since their quality was very good, many foreign companies went to them to make their goods. She heard that they had orders scheduled until next year.

Sydney also wanted to go to You2, but she did not know the way, so she chose the second best, which was ZX.

"I’m familiar with their boss in South Lake,” Hunter said. He saw the box of mangoes placed next to the table, took one out, and peeled it to eat it. "You can call first to talk to him.”

Sydney immediately copied the string of numbers Hunter gave her and dialed it.

The other party picked up quickly.

Sydney knew the overseas order like the back of her hand and talked eloquently with You2's person-in-charge. She did not look like a novice who had just entered the business world. Each of her words was enunciated and conveyed clearly. Even Hunter was a little impressed by her.

Finally, You2 told Sydney that after signing the contract, they would be able to make her goods within the time limit. However, she needed to come to the factory on Thursday to have a look, and both parties would talk about it again before going through the contract.

After hanging up the phone, the burden in Sydney's heart was lifted. "You’ve done me a big favor, Hunter.”

"As long as you don't have dealings with ZX, we're friends.” Hunter had finished eating a mango by then and was wiping his hands with a napkin. "The mangoes from Four Seasons Orchard are good this year. Did Julien tell them to send it here?”

Sydney remembered what happened yesterday afternoon and frowned. "No, we're divorced. I won't accept anything he sends either. My childhood friend sent these mangoes. You can take it back if you like it."

"Is that so?” Hunter raised his brows and gave her a pensive look.

Sydney was puzzled by his expression. She looked at the time and put on her coat. "Mr. Cohen, if you have no plans at noon, let me treat you to lunch."

"Sure. I'll have to pick a good restaurant, then.” Hunter followed her and left the office.

"Sydney Raines, come out here you little b*tch!

"I'll teach you a lesson!"

Sydney had just come out when she heard the commotion. The voice sounded quite familiar.

When she looked up, she saw Velma standing not far away with her hands on her hips, shouting at her.

There was staff around who wanted to drive her out, but they retreated after Velma scolded them.

Sydney walked over in her high heels with a calm face, asking, "Mrs. Flint, what do you want?"

"You're finally out, you little b*tch!" Velma became even angrier when she saw Sydney. She stormed up in a rage and raised her hand to slap Sydney.
