Julien's eyes darkened at her words.
Luke quickly slid down and came to Sydney's side." Babe, are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine.”
"Thank goodness." Luke breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, his tone turned impatient and he shouted up the slope, "Hey, hurry it up, Ms. Madden!"
When Lyra slid down, he said rudely, "Don’t think I didn’t see what happened. You knocked into Sydney!”
"I was wearing a helmet and my vision was blurred." Lyra bit her lip and apologized to Sydney. "I'm sorry for bumping into you, Ms. Raines."
"Sydney was right in front of you, not to your side.
You'd be blind not to be able to see her!" Luke waved his hand in front of Lyra. "Ms. Madden, you aren't blind, are you? Do you want me to find a doctor for you?"
"Enough," Julien said unhappily, "I saved Sydney, and Lyra already apologized to her."
Luke sneered. "President Flint, you know how steep this slope is. My darling is only a beginner. If no one saved her after Ms. Madden bumped into her, she'd have broken bones rolling down the slope!
"Can I assume that your girlfriend just attempted homicide?"
"Don't be so aggressive, Luke." Lyra's eyes reddened from anger and her voice trembled. "I didn't see her. If it bothers you that much, I’ll go back up again and let Ms. Raines knock me down."
"Great!" Luke agreed. "Go up and let Sydney hit you, and I’ll save you, and we'll be even!"
"..." Lyra leaned on Julien’s side, her expression becoming more and more fragile and pitiful.
Sydney saw Julien's gloomy face. He seemed to be angered by Luke's aggressiveness, so she pulled Luke to the side. "Let's go back."
"No!” Luke was very upset. "You’re already f*cking divorced Julien but his girlfriend is still bullying you. Are you trying to be a saint?"
Sydney approached him and whispered, "The information for SweetHeart's acquisition was given to me by Hunter."
Hunter had a good relationship with Julien. If Julien asked him to do something, he would do it no questions asked. He would not care about cooperating with Sydney.
Sydney also did not want to let Lyra go, but she did not want Julien to intervene and prevent her from acquiring SweetHeart.
After she finished, Luke weighed the pros and cons.
He snorted coldly and stopped arguing with Lyra, but he turned around to flip them the bird right before he left.
Lyra was furious.
She had never met a man as vicious and b*tchy as Luke Chase!
Lyra saw the man's cold face and whispered, "I was focused on skiing and didn't see Ms. Raines. I also apologized to her, but Luke was still so aggressive..."
She suddenly bent down and coughed several times, her face turning slightly pale.
Julien looked at her expression and could not bring himself to speak coldly to her. He pulled her into his embrace. "With me around, Luke can only make empty threats. He won’t dare to do anything to you. It’s too cold. I'll take you back to the hotel."
"Okay." Lyra embraced him with a faint smile on her face.
When Sydney and Luke returned to the hotel, it was already 5 pm.
She asked the front desk and learned that Michael was in the chess room, so she went searching for him herself. She decided to be a little shameless like Luke and boldly insist on buying Michael's company. The price could be negotiated.
However, no matter what she said, Michael refused to accept and finally got annoyed. "I won't sell SweetHeart no matter how high your price is, so go away!"
He chased Sydney out of the chess room.
Sydney had a headache and wanted to call Luke, but she felt that with how Michael was, even someone as glib as Luke would be unable to convince him.
Furthermore, how could she learn from experience unless she talked to him personally?
Sydney thought of a man and opened WhatsApp. After finding his chat room, she sent a message: [Have you talked to SweetHeart's boss Michael Idris before? He’s so difficult to talk to. He refuses to entertain me no matter what price I offer.]
It was only after sending the message did she realize that something was wrong. Why did she ask that man for something like this? She should have asked Hunter instead.
