My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 77 Suitor

Sydney and Julien both looked up as Hunter walked over, spinning a car key on his finger.

Julien's eyes narrowed. He looked at Hunter and then at the woman beside him, furrowing his brows.

Why did she ask Hunter to pick her up?

Since when did their relationship become so close?

Hunter was also a little surprised to see Julien. " Julien, why are you here? You’re sitting with President Raines too. Are you two on a date?"

He pointed at the two playfully.

Sydney put the ice pack to the side and rolled her eyes at him. "What nonsense are you talking about? I came here to talk about business and met President Flint by chance.”

"Is that so?" Hunter rubbed his chin with an expression of disbelief.

Julien did not say anything but did not deny it either.

Hunter believed it when he saw Julien’s expression and pouted his lips in slight disappointment. Then, he saw Sydney's swollen ankle and was stunned." President Raines, what happened to your foot?"

"Sprained it." Sydney put her shoes back on and understated it.

Hunter tutted twice. "This sprain is quite serious. It must've hurt the bone as well."

"That's why your next task is to send me to the hospital." Sydney looked at him.

Hunter acted as a loyal subordinate. "Sir, yes, sir!"

Sydney played along with his theatrics and held out her hand to him. "Then, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and help me up."

"Aye, sir!"

Hunter stepped forward and helped Sydney up from the sofa.

Julien's expression sank. He watched the two’s interaction with cold eyes and his thin lips slowly pursed.

Julien's aura was cold enough to freeze people especially when Hunter put a hand around Sydney’s waist.

However, neither Sydney nor Hunter noticed Julien's abnormality.

Sydney's sprained foot could not touch the ground at all as it hurt to the touch. How could she be in the mood to pay attention to anything else?

Hunter held her seriously lest she fell, so he did not pay attention to other stuff either.

The two of them did not even say goodbye and simply walked out the hotel door.

Julien's eyes darkened as he watched them leave. His cold and sullen face was devoid of expression, making it impossible to see his emotions.

"Check whether that elevator was an accident or manmade," Julien stood up and instructed in a cold voice.

With Flint Corporation's development over the years, Flint Corporation had indeed robbed some enterprises of their interests.

There was no guarantee that the people in those enterprises would not want to deal with him.

"Understood," Zach answered from the side and immediately went to investigate.

Soon, he came back from the investigation. "President Flint, it was an accident. That elevator was found to have problems in the morning, but the person in charge of the hotel did not stop the elevator service nor did he notify anyone to repair it. That's why we encountered the situation."

Zach also got a little scared as he spoke.

Fortunately, they were lucky and the elevator managed to descend safely to the first floor.

Otherwise, the consequences were simply unthinkable.

"Wow." Julien’s expression was extremely unpleasant as he clenched his fists. "Inform the headquarters personnel to change the person in charge of the hotel. Also, stop the elevator immediately and send someone for maintenance." "Understood." Zach nodded.

Julien's eyes flashed. "In addition, find out what happened between Sydney and Hunter." Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Although those two people knew each other before, their relationship was average. They were not much different from strangers.

However, the relationship between those two grew by leaps and bounds and they could even banter with each other. Julien did not believe that there was nothing between the two.

Zach looked at the flash of sourness in Julien's eyes and understood that President Flint was jealous of Mr. Cohen and Ms. Raines.

However, although that was what he thought, he did not dare to voice it out. Thus, he could only play dumb and accept the order. "Understood."

Hunter helped Sydney to the hospital and registered at the front desk.

On the other side, Lyra and her friends walked over while laughing and joking.

The first one to notice Sydney was not Lyra, but her friend, Kate.

Kate pulled Lyra's sleeve and pointed toward the registration window. "Look, Lyra, isn’t that Sydney?

That's Mr. Cohen too. Why are they together?"

Lyra’s smile slowly faded and she looked in the direction Kate pointed. Her eyes darkened, but her tone was soft. "It really is Ms. Raines and Mr. Cohen, but Ms. Raines seems to be injured.”

Her gaze shifted down and fixed on the foot that Sydney had lifted. The redness and swelling on her ankle were clearly visible.

"Ms. Graham, was this also your idea?" Lyra looked at Macy on the other side.

Macy glanced at Sydney’s ankle and shook her head condescendingly. "No."

"That’s strange," Lyra murmured.

Kate said, "Lyra, they're turning around.”

Lyra looked again.

This time, her gaze met with Sydney's.

Sydney could not help but laugh.

Hunter looked down at her. "What are you laughing at?"

"I’m laughing at how small this world is. I met Julien in the hotel, and now I’m meeting Lyra in the hospital. Have you seen anyone else with luck like this?" Sydney responded.

Hunter watched Lyra and the two others walk over, and his expression turned amused. "They're coming toward you.”

Sydney could hear the schadenfreude in his tone and glanced at him coldly.

Lyra, Kate, and Macy stopped in front of Sydney.

Lyra smiled and greeted, "Ms. Raines, Mr. Cohen, what a coincidence."

"It’s quite a coincidence." Sydney nodded lightly, but her gaze fell on Macy beside Lyra. No one could tell what she was thinking.

Lyra looked at Sydney then at Hunter. A different light flashed in her eyes before it disappeared just as quickly, and she pretended to be curious and asked," Why is Ms. Raines together with Mr. Cohen? Wouldn’t Mr. Chase be angry if he finds out?”

Hunter raised his brows.

This woman was trying to provoke the relationship between Sydney and Luke.

Sydney tucked her hair behind her ear, not looking panicked that she was seen with another man at all. Her voice was cool and breezy as she replied, "How could he be angry? I have so many suitors, so he needs to better himself lest I get stolen away by someone else. Of course, he won't get angry."

Lyra's expression stiffened for a moment, and she smiled dryly. "Ms. Raines is quite humorous."

Kate rolled her eyes disdainfully. "Humorous? She's just being shameless. She already has a boyfriend, but she's still fooling around with other men."

"What, are you jealous?" Sydney looked at her with a slight smile. "I have men chasing after me at all times, but you don’t. Is that why you don't like me?”

"I... I'm not." Kate's face turned red.

The corners of Sydney's lips curled. "Really? Don't be embarrassed to admit it. After all, you're ugly and have no luck with men. It's normal to be jealous of a good-looking and popular woman like me. I won't laugh at you."

"You..." Kate was also angry that she was about to cry. However, she had to admit in her heart that she was indeed jealous.

Hunter saw how Sydney made them speechless in just two to three sentences and smiled in amusement.

He wondered if Julien knew his ex-wife was so glib.

"Ms. Raines." Lyra pulled Kate behind her. "Do you mean that Mr. Chase is your suitor?"

"Tell her. Are you?" Sydney nudged Hunter with her elbow and then warned him in a voice only the two of them could hear, "If you dare to talk nonsense, I promise that you'll have a bad time later.”

The corners of Hunter’s mouth twitched. He originally did not want to participate and just wanted to watch the show, but these women already dragged him into it. He had to endure his headache and stood up to reply, "Of course, I am!"

Compared to Sydney, he disliked Lyra more.

That was why it was better to stand with Sydney.
