"Hello, Lyra?" Kate said sobbing, "What should I do? Sydney wants to sue me."
Lyra did not expect Sydney to do that either and was overwhelmed for a while. "Don't worry, Kate."
"How can I not worry?" Kate was so anxious that she jumped to her feet. "Once she sues me, there'll be a stain on my record. What will the people in the circle think of me then?"
No one in the circle would accept a daughter-in-law with a stained record.
If she could not marry into a wealthy family, she would not be able to help Morgan Enterprise. Her father would hate her and bring home his illegitimate daughter.
The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became. Kate gripped her phone tightly. "Lyra, you have to save me. I did this for you."
Lyra bit her lip secretly. She was a little sickened by Kate.
Kate did it for her?
She had only hinted to Kate to deal with Sydney for her, but she did not tell Kate to use that method.
Although that was what she thought, she could not say it out loud and could only say, "I know. I'll help you.
"That's great." Kate wept with joy. Then, she asked, "By the way, didn't you say you'd help me plead with President Flint? As long as you convince President Flint to help me, Sydney won't be able to go against him."
"I know, but Julien already refused me last time. This time..."
"Lyra, go and talk to President Flint again. He loves you so much. He'll definitely agree." Kate did not want to hear words of refusal and quickly interrupted Lyra.
A trace of displeasure flashed in Lyra's eyes but disappeared as quickly as it came. She said with difficulty, "But..."
"Lyra, you said you'd help me." Kate interrupted her again.
Lyra began to grow annoyed, but her mouth said," Okay, I'll try again."
"Thank you, Lyra." Kate sighed in relief.
After hanging up the phone, Lyra walked out of the room and drove to Flint Corporation.
"President Flint, Ms. Madden is here." Zach knocked on the door and walked into the president's office.
Julien was working on documents when he heard that, and he raised his head. "Let her in."
Zach responded, "Yes."
Soon, Lyra came in.
She frowned at the faint smell of smoke in the air." Julien, did you smoke?"
Julien nodded. "Just one joint."
"Why are you smoking? I hate the smell of smoke the most." Lyra used her hand to fan the air in front of her.
Julien looked at her closely. "You hate it? I thought you didn't hate the smell of smoke. I specifically asked you if you mind me smoking in a letter before, and you said you didn't. You even suggested that I smoke menthol cigarettes. This is the smoke you're smelling."
Lyra began to panic, but she did not reveal it on her face and simply smiled in response. "That was in the past. I was in a coma for six years and came to dislike the smell of smoke."
Thinking that she made sense, Julien dispelled the doubts in his mind.
Lyra saw his gaze regain its calmness and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
That was close. She was almost exposed again.
If she had known, she would not have burned those letters so quickly. She should have read them once to avoid exposing herself.
Lyra did feel a little regretful, but she quickly regained her composure. "By the way, you should stop smoking,
Julien. It's bad for your health." "Okay." Julien nodded and agreed.
Lyra hugged his arm. "You're the best, Julien."
The best?
Julien lowered his eyes. Suddenly, what Sydney had said at the conference earlier played back in his mind.
He had a problem with her, so he emotionally abused her for six years.
Could someone like him be considered 'the best'?
Feeling slightly annoyed, Julien pulled his arm out. His voice also became much colder. "Lyra, I want to know why you told Sydney I was like your brother six years ago. Why didn't you tell her I was your boyfriend?"
