Chapter 108 Grandma Hurt Herself in a Fall

Jayden almost got hit on the nose by the door but fortunately managed to brake in time.

Then, he sighed and turned to leave dejectedly.

The next day, Sydney and Luke were reading data in the office when Sophie hurriedly came in. "Bad news, President Raines. Brandon Madden was released."

"What?" Sydney's face changed. "He was released?"

"When did this happen?" Luke asked.

Sophie glanced at him and answered respectfully," This morning. He also made a post on Trison Corporation's official website saying that he was taken away by officers not because he broke the law, but to cooperate with the investigation of another matter. Trison Corporation's stock market has stabilized now."

"How could that be?" Luke's brows furrowed deeply.

Sydney bit her lip. "Something must’ve happened, otherwise, Brandon wouldn’t have been released."

"I'll have someone ask around," Luke said and took his phone to the balcony.

Sydney lowered her eyes, the expression on her face unpleasant. Her mood was also very agitated.

She thought that after Brandon went to jail, she would be able to bring down Trison Corporation sooner.

After all, without the old fox Brandon, Trison Corporation would be like a tiger with its teeth pulled out. They would no longer be as powerful as before. Unexpectedly, Brandon came out so soon and

completely disrupted her plan.

At that thought, Sydney rubbed her temples.

At that moment, someone knocked on the office door.

Sydney put down her hand. "Come in."

The person outside came in. It was the secretary of Skylight Corporation's president, Stephen Dayton.

"Is something wrong?" Sydney looked at him and asked faintly.

The secretary smiled at Sydney and replied, "Vice President Raines, President Dayton wants you to go to the conference room for a meeting.”

Sydney's eyes widened at those words.

Stephen Dayton was back!

When did this happen?

Sydney immediately looked at Sophie, who was waiting quietly at the side.

Sophie also shook her head in surprise, indicating that she did not know either. She had not heard of

President Dayton's return.

Sydney pursed her lips. Her mood was heavy, but she raised a light smile on her face. "Alright. Tell President Dayton that I'll be right there."

"Certainly," the secretary answered and left.

Luke came in and felt that the atmosphere in the office was off. Sydney's expression was also a little bad, so he could not help but ask Sophie, "What's wrong with my darling?"

Although Sophie was used to hearing him call Sydney his "darling", her heart still felt uncomfortable every time she heard it.

Sophie lowered her eyes, covering the hurt in her gaze, and tried to make her tone sound natural as she replied, "President Dayton is back."

"Huh? When did he come back? How was there no news of this at all?" Luke narrowed his eyes.

Sydney pursed her lips. "It seems he deliberately came back without letting us know. He's afraid that we’ll stop him."

In the entire Skylight Corporation, the person who did not welcome her the most was undoubtedly Stephen Dayton. Stephen was part of the group who used to be with her father the longest. After her father died, Skylight Corporation fell into Stephen's hands.

Last month, if not for Stephen's business trip, even if Sydney was the largest shareholder of Skylight

Corporation, she would not have been able to get the management rights of Skylight. Stephen was probably afraid that she would stop him from coming back for the management rights, so he hid his whereabouts and came back secretly.

"Is he delusional?" Luke rolled his eyes.

Sydney sighed and stood up. "Well, let's go to the conference room first."

Luke did not say anything else and nodded, heading to the conference room with her.

Just as the two were approaching the conference room, she suddenly received a call from Julien.

Sydney was first surprised and then declined the call, not intending to answer it.

She already made it very clear that she did not want to be involved with him any further.

Therefore, there was no need to answer his phone call.

"Who was it?" Luke asked.

Sydney's eyes flashed for a moment and she shook her head. Just as she was about to say it was someone she did not know, her phone dinged again.

Julien sent her a text message: [Grandmother is sick and wants to see you.]

Sydney's face changed slightly as her eyes filled with worry. She no longer cared about not wanting to have any involvement with Julien and called him back

directly. "What happened to Grandma?"

Julien heard the urgency in her tone and replied in a deep voice, "She fell when she got up to go to the toilet last night."

"What?" Sydney's volume rose. Her heart almost flew out of her chest and she clutched her phone tightly with both hands, asking, "How did she fall? Is it serious?"

It was easy to get seriously injured if a young person fell, let alone an old woman of that age.

"Don't worry. Grandma was lucky and only her leg was broken. Other than that, she's completely fine." Julien pinched the bridge of his nose.

Sydney sighed in relief. "That's good. Is she in the hospital now?"

Julien nodded slightly and hummed in response.

"Alright. I'll go visit her this afternoon," Sydney said.

"I'll fetch you."

"No." Sydney's face was expressionless and her voice was cold as she refused. "You just need to send me the location."

Then, she directly hung up the phone.

Julien looked at the phone screen that had jumped back to the main menu and his thin lips pursed.

In the past, it was always him who hung up on her.

Now that they were divorced, she hung up on him first.

It turned out that having someone hang up on you so indifferent felt so unpleasant.

"Julien called you?" Luke glanced at Sydney's phone, the sourness in his tone unconcealed.

Sydney did not know what he was bitter about and nodded. "Grandma fell. I'll go see her in the afternoon."

"She's Julien's grandmother, and you and Julien are divorced. Why do you have to see her?" The corners of Luke's lips pulled.

Sydney kept her phone. "Don't say that. Grandma treats me very well. I can't ignore it if she falls. Alright, let's go. We shouldn't keep President Dayton waiting for long."

Luke shrugged.

The two pushed open the door of the conference room and went in. The room was already full of people, and dozens of eyes looked toward the two in unison. All of them were shareholders and departmental executives of Skylight Corporation.

After a glance, Sydney shifted her gaze to the head of the long conference table.

Before today, that seat had always been hers. However, another person was sitting there now.

The current president of Skylight Corporation, Stephen Dayton.

"President Dayton, welcome back," Sydney greeted

Stephen with a smile.

Stephen twirled his pen. "You didn't come to the meeting for so long that I thought you weren't satisfied with my return."

Sydney's eyes darkened, but the smile on her face remained unchanged. "Of course, not. I was just delayed by another matter. You're my elder, President Dayton. Don't be angry with me."

Stephen's eyes narrowed as he finally took a serious look at Sydney.

He originally wanted to use her tardiness as an excuse to put on a show of his strength. He wanted to let her know that even if she was the largest shareholder, the person in charge of the company was him.

Unexpectedly, this little girl counterattacked by taking the role of a junior and calling him her elder. He was forced to take a step back, otherwise, it would be like he was using his status as an elder to bully the younger generation. She reacted very quickly. It seemed like he really had underestimated her.

Stephen smiled back insincerely. "Of course, I won't be angry. I'm not that narrow-minded to get mad at you."

"Thank you, President Dayton." Sydney smiled back.

Luke gave her a thumbs up under the table and lowered his voice. "Great job, Darling." "Shush." Sydney rolled her eyes at him.

Stephen saw their small movements and his old face became gloomy. "Well, since everyone is here, we'll officially begin the meeting."
