My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 1057 Why Don't You Solve It

Outside the office, Sean, who was supposed to be busy working, was actually standing at the door, attentively listening to every sound within the office.

Luke's words had pierced her heart like a knife, causing her eyes to instantly redden and well up with tears.

It turned out he was so reluctant to see her.

She couldn't believe she was such an eyesore in his mind.

Sean tilted her head slightly, took a deep breath, covered her mouth and nose, and left for the Secretaries' Office.

The assistant, who had just delivered the coffee, was surprised to see Sean hurrying in with her head down and teary eyes. Concerned, she quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Sean replied as she returned to her desk, shaking her head at the assistant. She wiped her eyes and forced a smile.

"But you cried." The assistant frowned.

Sean took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes. "Thank you for your concern, but I'm really fine. It was just that a sad thought crossed my mind, and it momentarily affected me. I'm alright."

She put her glasses back on and smiled.

The assistant noticed that Sean seemed less sad than when she had initially entered the office, which eased her worries. She nodded and said, "That's good. I'll get back to work then. Just so you know, if you ever face any difficulties, please let us know. We'll do everything we can to help."

Sean nodded, feeling touched. "Thank you. I will."

In the neighboring President's Office, Sydney and Luke were unaware that Sean had overheard their previous conversation and left feeling sorrowful.

At this moment, Sydney gazed silently at the man across the desk. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Luke had been drinking his coffee with his head down ever since he finished speaking.

The coffee was scalding hot and bitter, but he had almost finished it in one go.

"Alright, alright," Sydney hurriedly intervened as she saw the coffee nearing the bottom of the cup. She stopped the man who was about to tilt his head and finish it all. "Don't drink it all at once. It will burn your throat."

Luke halted.

He had to stop because Sydney had grabbed his wrist.

Observing Luke release his grip on the coffee cup, Sydney quickly pushed the cup aside and sighed. "Honestly, ever since you arrived here and saw Sean, you've changed completely."

"How so?" Luke frowned, reluctant to admit it.

Sydney shook her head helplessly. "Alright, never mind. Let's get down to business. You mentioned earlier that you came here regarding the online matter?"

As soon as the topic shifted to business, Luke immediately turned serious, as if his previous demeanor had been nothing but an illusion.

"Yeah." Luke's face darkened as he spoke. "Damn! I never expected that a simple business discussion would end up being captured by paparazzi and spread as baseless gossip. It truly

infuriates me."

"Yeah," Sydney concurred, nodding her head.

Luke pounded his fist on the table. "That lousy tabloid is just despicable! How dare they publish something like this? Aren't they afraid of Julien seeking revenge?"

Unbeknownst to Luke, this incident was actually premeditated by someone.

He believed it was merely the media's ploy for attention, putting everything out there.

"They have no fear." Sydney elegantly crossed her legs, a sneering smile playing on her lips. "If they were afraid, they wouldn't have dared to do it."

Luke fell silent. "You're right. I can't help but admire their audacity. They don't even care about the consequences, all for the sake of traffic. It's truly outrageous."

Little did he know that there was a conspiracy behind this.

Sydney's lips parted as she was going to tell him everything.

But something occurred to her, and she changed her mind.

She swallowed back her words.

It was fine for Luke to continue thinking that way.

If the truth were to come out, with Luke's fiery temper, he might charge straight into them.

"By the way," Luke squeezed his palm, his eyes filled with concern as he looked at Sydney. "Has Julien wrongly accused you because of this incident? Did he doubt you?"

In any case, the main characters involved in this scandal were him and Sydney.

Although his face hadn't been recognized in the online photos yet, he was still implicated in the scandal with her.

He feared that it would cause a rift between Sydney and Julien.

And in situations like this, it was often the woman who suffered the most.

If a dispute rose between them, Sydney would bear the brunt of the consequences.

Luke didn't want to witness her endure such distress.

Luke's concern sent a warm current coursing through Sydney's heart. She shook her head slightly and reassured him, "Don't worry, everything is fine."

"Really?" Luke still seemed unsure.

Sydney nodded. "Yeah."

Although she hadn't contacted Julien, Zack had found out that the rumor online was fabricated and that someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes.

There was no reason Julien couldn't see through it.

He was not that stupid.

Besides, that was not important. The point was how Julien was going to deal with it.

"Ah, what a relief," Luke exclaimed, his hand instinctively reaching for his chest as he released a long sigh of relief. "You have no idea how anxious I was during the journey. I was driving like a man possessed, fearing that he would misconstrue things. But thank goodness, he didn't disappoint me."

"He's not a fool; he knows why we went to the hotel yesterday," Sydney chuckled. "Besides, if he doesn't believe me, then there's no point in continuing with him."

Luke nodded vigorously. "You're right. But if he knows why we went to the hotel, then did you also tell him about the conversation between Mr. Houston and me last night?"

"Yeah," Sydney said, tucking her hair behind her ears. "You guys were right. I'm currently in a vulnerable position, and I'll inevitably need his help. So, it's better to be open about it."

"That's true," Luke heartily smiled. "In that case, he won't suspect that our visits to the hotel have any ulterior motives. But why haven't you two resolved this matter yet?"

Luke was confused. "If we just release the hotel surveillance footage and clarify our positions online, the issue can be resolved. It's very simple. But now, it has been brewing for so long, and the online backlash is growing stronger. Yet, both you and Julien seem unhurried. Do you have other plans?"

Initially, when he saw the scandal online, he wanted to step forward and clarify things immediately.

However, his mother had stopped him.

She had told him not to rush into clarifications and to come to Skylight Corporation to discuss it with Sydney first.

During the car ride, he thought a lot. Considering what he knew about Sydney, she wasn't someone who would delay matters.

It was especially true for this matter. The scandal would tarnish her reputation and affect her relationship with Julien.

The longer they waited, the more troublesome it would become, and the harder it would be to counter the rumors online.

Most importantly, the lack of clarification only made people believe that the rumors were true, and the reason for not speaking up was seen as a sign of weakness.

Dragging it out for too long would be detrimental to everyone involved.
