Jayden turned red with anger. He was just about to tell her about his good points when the phone on the table rang.
It seemed like it was from his brother. Jayden's heart stuttered.
Sydney also caught a glimpse and was one step faster. She answered the call and even put it on speakerphone. "President Flint, are you calling because you know that your brother is missing?"
The other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then a man's low voice sounded. "Jayden Flint, come down to the south gate in three minutes."
"Three minutes isn't enough." Jayden whined but did not dare to go against Julien. "She lives near the north gate..."
"Two minutes." The man's voice was even more gloomy.
Jayden shook in fright. After hanging up the phone, he slipped his school bag on his shoulder and ran to the door without needing Sydney to chase him out.
When he opened the door, he turned to warn Sydney." You received my gift, so be sure to come to my school to help me on Saturday! If you tell my brother, I’ll tell him that you slept with a pretty boy right after your divorce!"
Sydney was speechless.
Jayden sprinted as fast as he could and ran to the south gate in exactly two minutes.
He saw his brother's luxury car on the side of the road. Julien was sitting in the driver's seat, smoking. His posture was languid as smoke curled between his fingers.
Panting, Jayden got into the passenger seat and fastened his seatbelt.
Julien looked at him coldly. The cold air around him made Jayden lower his head, not daring to speak.
When the car hit the road and started cruising, Julien finally opened his mouth. "Didn't I tell you not to go to her? Are you deaf?”
"I don’t have money on me..."
Julien sneered. "There are several hotels under Flint Corporation. Everyone knows that you’re the Second Young Master of the Flint family."
"My stomach hasn't been feeling well so I went to her to make up for it,” Jayden said stiffly. "Sister-in-law cooks very well. You know that too, right?”
After saying that, he realized that he had addressed her wrongly and immediately corrected himself. "I meant ex-sister-in-law. I know you're divorced, but it's not like I can't even go to her place to eat, right? Besides, she opened the door and cooked for me. I didn't force her."
The man only sneered again, clearly not believing Jayden’s nonsense.
"Julien, Sydney is actually quite good," Jay den spoke carefully.
He was counting on Sydney to go to school and help him, so he thought of saying a few good words for her in front of his brother. Besides, Sydney was indeed quite good.
Sometimes, when judging whether a person was good or not, one could not just listen to other people’s words. Seeing was believing.
Seeing Julien remain silent, Jayden mustered up the courage to continue. "I heard her company isn't doing too well. Why don't you help her? Or you can teach her how to manage the business in your free time. She didn't ask for anything when she divorced you. Her life is pretty tough..."
He also decided not to tell his brother that Sydney used to date someone online. After all, everyone had their past.
"Does your face still hurt?" Julien interrupted him.
Jayden licked the inside of his mouth. "It hurt before, but it stopped hurting after she applied the medicine."
"Apologize to Mom when you go back. Stop playing basketball and study hard." Julien propped his hand on the car window and said with a cold expression," When I was sixteen, Dad handed me a bunch of stuff and I had to join Flint Corporation's upper management to study."
Jayden's eyes dimmed. His lips moved to say something, but Julien spoke before he could, "Or do you want to go abroad tomorrow to study?”
Jayden did not dare to talk back to him. He lowered his head and kept completely silent.
Sydney did not keep Jayden’s words in her heart. She was busy with meetings and had tons of matters to deal with.
When Luke was free to come to Skylight, she called on the group and had a meeting with Luke to discuss and analyze the acquisition of SweetHeart. They finally reached a consensus.
