Chapter 95 Press Conference
Chapter 95 Press Conference
Julien said that it was the fox man who kidnapped Lyra. He also said that the fox man was Sydney's suitor.
Now that a fox happened to be on the list, it was enough to explain the man's identity.
"Fox man?" The man laughed. "So that's how you guys call me. It's quite good. I like that name very much."
Sydney frowned when he admitted his identity. "It really is you. Who the hell are you?"
"I can't tell you that yet, but don't worry. I will never hurt you. You are my light. I will only protect you for the rest of my life," the fox man replied in a soft voice.
Sydney heard the sincerity in his voice, and her face blushed.
Was this person really her suitor?
While she was in her own thoughts, the fox man spoke again, "Well, it's getting late. You should rest early. I'll contact you again next time. Goodbye!"
With that, the man cut off the call.
Sydney looked at the screen of her phone and had no choice but to put aside the questions she wanted to ask.
Forget it. Since the man said he would contact her next time, she would ask him then.
However, just who was that man? It felt unreal how he suddenly appeared and treated her so well.
Sydney looked at the fox avatar on the list, feeling perturbed and at a loss.
The next day, she was woken up by Luke's phone call.
"Darling, are you up yet? I'm downstairs." Luke leaned against his flashy red sports car and looked up at the building.
Sydney yawned. "I'll be up soon."
"Okay. Hurry up. I'll wait for you in the car," Luke said.
Sydney hummed and hung up the phone. Then, she lifted the quilt to get up.
After washing up, she took her bag and picked up her crutches before heading to the porch.
Just as she opened the door, an envelope fluttered down from the handle outside.
Sydney picked it up suspiciously. When she saw the handwriting on the envelope, she realized that it was a letter from her pen pal, Buddy.
Why was it out here?
Sydney clenched onto the envelope and looked outside the door. Suddenly, she remembered Jayden.
Jayden once took a letter and said that he would return it to her, so that must be what Jayden was
talking about.
However, she had told Jayden to throw it away.
She could not believe that he did not listen to her!
Sydney looked at the letter and stuffed it into her bag before heading out, intending to put it back into the box when she returned in the evening.
As soon as she went downstairs, Luke waved at her.' Over here, Darling."
Sydney slowly walked over with her crutches. "Good morning."
"Morning to you too. This is breakfast." Luke lifted a bag from behind and handed it to her. "Milk with French toast. Your favorite."
Sydney's heart warmed when she touched the warm bag. She thanked him with a smile. "You're the best, Luke."
"Hmph. It's only because you're my darling. Get in the car." Luke opened the door to the back seat for her.
On the road, Sydney ate the toast and suddenly thought of something. She asked, "Luke, do you know anyone in the circle who's about the same age as us but is proficient in hacking and also likes foxes?"
At that, a glint flashed in Luke's eyes. "Why are you asking that, Darling?"
"I spoke to the fox man last night, the one who kidnapped Lyra." Sydney took a sip of milk and
replied.
Luke shook his head. "I don't know. We grew up together. If you don't know him, how would I know him? But what did he say to you?"
Sydney was a little disappointed. "Nothing much. He said he would protect me, and he also gave me the name list of those netizens who cursed me."
"That's great. At least it means he's not our enemy." Luke shrugged.
"That's true, but it's uncomfortable to have someone I don't know constantly watching me from the shadows. " Sydney sighed.
Luke chuckled. "Don't worry. It's fine as long as he doesn't hurt you. Besides, I also feel a lot more at ease if there's someone like that secretly protecting you, so don't overthink it. We're here."
He stopped the car and took the lead in opening the door before helping Sydney out of the back seat.
As soon as they got out of the car, they were stopped by a group of reporters.
"Ms. Raines, is the purpose of today's press conference just to clear your name?"
"Mr. Chase, Ms. Raines is your girlfriend. What do you think about her continuing to pester her ex- husband?"
"Will you two break up?"
Sydney's expression was cold in the face of the aggressive questions from the reporters, and she did not respond. Luke held Sydney in his arms as they walked towards Skylight's main entrance.
After entering Skylight, Sydney told the security guards to stop the reporters who tried to follow her in.
Luke straightened up his messed-up clothes in the elevator. "Damn, those reporters are insane."
Sydney was also straightening her clothes. "Can't help it. They have to do whatever they can to get a scoop."
"They're just picking on us. They didn't dare to be so bold in front of Julien yesterday." Luke's lips twitched, and he said in a sour tone.
Sydney rubbed her temples. "Alright. That's enough. Let's go straight to the conference room."
With that, she got out of the elevator and walked toward the conference room.
Sophie, who was standing at the door of the room, nodded when she saw them both. "President Raines, President Chase."
"Are the media we invited here?" Sydney looked at her watch. It was already 9:56 a.m., and there were still two to three minutes left.
Sophie nodded. "They're all here."
"In that case, let's go in." Sydney pushed open the door of the conference room and went in.
Luke and Sophie followed her.
As soon as the three appeared, the media immediately focused their eyes and cameras on them, taking bursts of pictures.
Faced with so many flashes, Sydney's expression was cool, and her eyes barely blinked. She walked up to the podium calmly, picked up the microphone, and spoke in a loud, clear voice.
"Welcome to the press conference. I believe everyone should know the purpose of today's conference. That's right. It's about the incident that blew up the Internet yesterday."
"Here it comes."
In the president's office of Flint Corporation, Hunter held his phone and slapped Julien's shoulder excitedly when he saw Sydney come on screen. "Your ex-wife has a pretty good presence. She's
still standing strong despite facing so many reporters. She looks like a strong, independent woman. No one would believe that she was a housewife for six years."
Julien remained silent and merely stared at the woman on the screen.
The woman's hair was in large waves, her makeup was exquisite, and her fiery-red women's suit accentuated her perfect figure, making her look gallant and spirited. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
He had never seen a Sydney Raines like that before.
What he saw most was her in an apron, her hair tied up in a ponytail, and dressed in plain clothing.
That Sydney was dull and without a glow, unlike the current Sydney who shone so brightly that people could not look away from her.
He had to admit that she had really changed. She had become strong, confident, and beautiful.
At the press conference, Sydney's eyes swept through the seated reporters. "I believe everyone is curious about the tweet that was posted online. I'll tell you about it now. It was posted by Miss Kate Morgan, the daughter of Morgan Enterprise's chairman. Kate Morgan is Ms. Madden's best friend."
Kate, who was watching the live broadcast of the press conference, paled when she heard that Sydney had found out it was her and even publicly announced it.
Morgan Enterprise was a bush league in Port City that could not even compare to Skylight. She relied on Lyra to move around in the upper-class circle.
Now that Sydney had exposed her, how would the young masters in the circle look at Kate? They would all think that she was a despicable villain whom they should stay away. As a result, no one would want to have a marriage alliance with the Morgan family, and her father would blame her for that. What should she do?
Kate was so anxious that she was about to cry. She regretted why she was so impulsive then!
