Ignoring Julien's dark expression, Hunter continued to ask, "So what's the deal with you sending mangoes to Skylight?"
Julien frowned. "I didn't get anyone to send mangoes to Skylight."
After learning from Hunter that Velma scolded Sydney because of the mangoes, Julien’s face became even more sullen. He called Four Seasons Orchard to ask.
The person in charge there checked and hurriedly apologized. "We're sorry, President Flint. Our delivery boy didn't know about your divorce and thought that Ms. Raines was still your wife, so he sent the mangoes to her company. I’m really sorry."
Julien had put the call on speakerphone. Hence, Hunter, who was sitting on the opposite side, also heard it. "Sigh, poor Sydney. She was scolded by your mother for nothing."
Speechless, Julien pinched his temples. He was annoyed.
He did not expect someone would dare to secretly take pictures of him in Red Plum Resort. He did not expect Velma to run to Skylight to cause trouble for Sydney because of a wrongly-delivered box of mangoes.
When the waiter served the food, Julien asked Hunter, "Did Sydney talk to the people at You2?”
"Yep. She'll be visiting their factory on Thursday."
Hunter also praised Sydney. "I think that even if you didn't talk to You2 in advance, with Sydney's eloquence, the other party would be willing to help her with that batch of goods. Although she just joined the business world, she's a quick learner and is quite capable."
"Is that so?" Julien suddenly felt that he knew Sydney but had not paid any attention to her at all.
He had been married to Sydney for six years, but all he saw was the image of her being busy in the Flint residence.
She would prepare delicious meals for him to eat when he came back and iron his suits. She was a competent wife.
Unexpectedly, besides taking care of the house, Sydney was also excellent in other aspects.
Hunter shrugged. "You'll know if you see for yourself next time. This ex-wife of yours is really quite good.
"But there’s something I’m confused about, Julien.
Wasn't ZX going to sign with Skylight? Why did you still introduce You2 to her?" Hunter asked, "Now you owe You2 a favor because of that. You2 will definitely annoy you with this favor." "This overseas order is important to Skylight because they’re on the verge of bankruptcy." There was no change in Julien's expression as he ate his food. "ZX is good at handling overseas products, but they're not as good and not as famous as You2. If Skylight can latch onto You2 for a long-term collaboration, Skylight won't have to go around begging for partners. The partners themselves will come to Skylight's door and send money to them."
"Why does that sound wrong to me?" Hunter rubbed his chin. "Julien, are you opening up contacts for your ex-wife?"
Julien was silent for a moment before saying indifferently, "She didn't take anything from the divorce and didn't even want the house. This little thing is just compensation from me to her.”
"Then your compensation is too shabby. She stayed in your house for six years." Hunter laughed. "If I were Sydney and had to be ordered around by your mother every day for six years, I'd think that even a billion dollars would be too little..."
Julien slammed the cutlery down before Hunter could finish speaking and grabbed the suit jacket on the back of the chair. "I'm going back to the office."
Hunter watched the man open the door and called after him. "I'm just telling the truth. You don't like how it sounds, Julien?"
What answered him was the slam of the door.
"Go on, break it. It won’t be me paying if the door
breaks anyway.” Hunter shrugged. He called the waiter in and ordered more food.
Velma coming to Skylight to make a scene was secretly recorded by the staff and spread within the business circle.
Everyone was quite surprised. They did not expect that Julien, who was decisive and cold in the business world, had such a shrewish mother. Some people even saw a version that had been maliciously edited and felt that Sydney was too much. She should not have done that to her former mother-in-law.
Some people also concluded that Sydney had been with that male model from Valen Entertainment for a long time and only got divorced because Julien found out that she was having an affair.
All sorts of conspiracy theories ran rampant.
