Chapter 951 Teach a Lesson
"Sydney, you misunderstood me. Since I am your elder, how would I want to harm you?" Stephen was an old fox who was able to keep calm even when Sydney revealed his dark side. "I didn't mean anything else by this. I just think that since Mr. Flint is with you, there are some things about your past that he should know. You can't hide them from him. Otherwise, it will be unfair to Mr. Flint. What do you say, Sydney?"
Sydney laughed mockingly, "Mr. Dayton, you're always so plausible."
"You must be joking."
"But it's a shame." Sydney stared at him coldly. "You don't think Julien already knew about what you said, do you?"
"What?" Stephen froze for a moment.
Sydney added, "Or do you think that you, an outsider, know more than he does?"
She was completely composed now.
At first, she was really worried that Julien would mind what Stephen had said.
Although she got close to Luke and the other two men, they were just friends.
She did nothing wrong, but she was afraid that Julien would overthink and feel jealous.
After all, this guy was jealous even when she received a call from a man. Stephen mentioned that she was close to Luke and the others. Julien would naturally be upset.
Then she had to coax him. She was unsure if she could cheer him up.
This was what she was really worried about when she first heard Stephen's words.
It turned out that her fear was superfluous. Julien gave her a look when he lifted her chin just now.
That look told her clearly that he was a little jealous but not unreasonable.
What was in the past should not be brought to the present to affect their current life.
Besides, he also told her that he knew there was nothing between her and Luke and the others, who were just in unrequited love with her.
So even if he were angry, he would not be angry with her, but with Luke and the others.
Knowing this, she was completely relieved, and she could deal with Stephen without worries.
"Leaf is right." Julien took Sydney's hand and squeezed it gently. "She had several men around her, but that was before she got together with me, so I won't blame her, and I'm not qualified to blame her. I even have to thank those men around her. If they hadn't been protecting her and helping her, she wouldn't have taken over Skylight so smoothly. And I know well about their relationships with Leaf. They're just friends. Otherwise, with my possessiveness, I wouldn't let them go."
Stephen was stunned again.
He thought, 'What kind of person is this?
'His woman was surrounded by so many men, but he doesn't mind it and instead wants to thank those men.
'Julien must be crazy!' Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Stephen was confused.
Julien looked at Stephen's shocked expression. His eyes narrowed dangerously. "And you said maybe it was just that you hadn't seen them together. That is nonsense. Cayden went to Jackal City
a few months ago and never returned. The Chase family was involved in new industries recently, so Luke was busy. He even lived in the Chase Group for two months. How could he run around? As for Hunter, he is taking exams, and he has prepared for more than a month for fear that he would fail his classes. So do you think they have time to come here? Or do you think they dare to go against me?"
Stephen's face turned pale, and he could no longer speak at all.
He was so puzzled.
He was thinking, 'My plan was going so smoothly. A moment ago, I was going to succeed. How did these two people ruin my plan with just a few words in the end?
'Is their relationship so good that they don't mind each other's past?
'In this world, is there really such a relationship?'
Stephen couldn't believe it or accept such a result.
"Mr. Dayton, we all know that you said that just to divide me and Leaf and prevent us from getting married. After all, our marriage is not good for you, so you are trying desperately to thwart it, but unfortunately, you've failed. Now you might as well think about the consequence of dividing me and Leaf." Julien slightly raised his eyelids, his eyes calm but somehow menacing.
Stephen couldn't help but take a step back in fear. "You... What do you want? Julien, don't mess around. We're living under the rule of law. Do you want to beat me?"
Julien looked at the afraid Stephen with contempt in his eyes. "The rule of law? It seems that you've admitted what you just did. You hurt Leaf's self-esteem, tried to divide her and me, and created rumors about her. Stephen, how many people in this world do you think dare to go against me?
What do you think will happen to them when they go against me? Or do you think that people who go against me can get away with it once they mention laws?"
Stephen blanched, the flesh on his face trembling even more violently. He was scared and regretful.
He regretted saying so much.
Of course, what he regretted more was saying that in front of Julien and attempting to weaken Julien's feelings for Sydney.
Stephen thought, 'Huh, Julien is not a normal man!'
He felt he was so unlucky.
"Julien, I know you are rich and powerful, and you have support from big shots, but don't forget it. Once you do anything to me, I will hold a press conference and expose it. Then you will be pushed to controversy, and I'll see if the people behind you dare to protect you at the cost of offending the whole society." Stephen's face was twisted as he warned Julien, and there was even a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Julien did not say anything. He just looked at Stephen with a cold smile.
This smile made Stephen afraid.
Stephen cowered.
At this point, Sydney couldn't stand it anymore. She rolled her eyes. "Mr. Dayton, why are you so stupid? You want to hold a press conference? Huh, do you think we will give you the opportunity to do so? We will teach our opponents a good lesson to avoid any other trouble, especially someone like you, who said he would not let us go. We have to silence you. Mr. Dayton, what do you think?"
Stephen's eyes opened wide, his pupils shrinking to the size of a needlepoint. His face was full of horror, and he was shivering.
He was so focused on warning them that he ignored the fact that he would even be unable to walk out the door of this elevator.
And Sydney was right. One should deter his opponents, especially those who had a grudge against him, or there would be endless trouble.
If it were him, he would do the same thing.
In other words, he would have to suffer here today, right?
