My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 126 Stephen’s Crisis

Partnership was one thing, and revenge was another.

The two matters would not interfere with one another.

Luke understood what Sydney meant and gave her a thumbs up. "Darling, you're this.”

Sydney smiled back. "Let's go meet those representatives."

"Sure." Luke nodded and stood up.

After two hours, Sydney and Luke sent off the representatives.

Since Julien sent them over to compensate Sydney, the cooperation terms were all in favor of Sydney’s side.

Naturally, Sydney quickly signed the cooperation contracts with them.

When Zach received the news, he informed Julien right away.

Julien’s knitted brows finally relaxed a little. "I got it."

Sydney accepted the cooperation.

Perhaps, she had let go of the fact that Lyra pushed her down the stairs.

As he thought about it, the heaviness in his heart gradually subsided.

"Oh, right." He raised his head to look at Zach. "Any news about who's the father of Sydney's baby?"

Zach shook his head. "No. Ms. Raines acted as though she didn't know that she’s pregnant. She didn't mention it to anyone, including Mr. Chase."

Due to this, the people he hired obviously would not know who the father was.

Julien pursed his lips.

Zach studied his expression and said carefully," President Flint, why not reveal it to Mr. Chase and make him ask Ms. Raines himself? Maybe Ms. Raines will tell him."

Something flashed across Julien’s eyes, as though he was tempted by the idea.

However, for an unknown reason, he gave up the thought and refused.

"No need. Let's wait.”

"Yes." Zach remained silent then.

At the same time, in Skylight Corporation.

The news that Sydney succeeded in a few cooperation contracts with the subsidiary companies under Flint Corporation was spread through the company.

Some people were happy, while some were also worried.

In the President's office.

Stephen's expression was extremely ugly. "Did you find out how Sydney succeeded in the few cooperation contracts?”

His secretary stood before him and carefully replied," Sorry, President Dayton. I haven’t found out how. This seems to be a private matter between Vice President Raines and President Flint, so it’s a

little harder for me to get a lead.”

“Private matter?" Stephen narrowed his eyes.

A director next to him made a bold guess. "Do you think the two of them are in a relationship, and that was why...?"

Stephen's expression darkened even further. "If that's the case, then it explains how Sydney succeeded in signing those cooperation contracts."

Stephen suddenly felt a sense of threat.

If Sydney won the project on the new energy technology, then his authority as a president would be gone by half.

As he thought of this, Stephen tightened his fist and instructed his secretary with a gloomy voice, "Go and find out if there is anything out of the ordinary between Sydney and President Flint. If there is, inform the Maddens right away."

"President Dayton, are you planning to control Sydney using the Maddens?” the director asked with a glint of light in his eyes.

Stephen sighed. "If President Flint is behind Sydney, then she'll win the bet. To stop her, we can only turn to the Maddens.”

"That's true." The director nodded. "Ms. Madden is President Flint’s fiancee. If Sydney has anything to do with him, I believe the Maddens will take action against her for sure. By then, there's no way Sydney can still rely on President Flint to win the project on the new energy technology."

"Exactly." Stephen knocked on the desk and his eyes were visibly scheming something.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Stephen frowned with displeasure. "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Sophie stood at the door. "President Dayton, Vice President Raines asked for your presence in the conference room for a meeting."

"Meeting?" Stephen pursed his lips. "What meeting?"

"It is about the cooperation that she just won over," Sophie explained.

Stephen’s expression turned gloomy instantly. His voice was cold as he said, "I got it. I'll be there shortly."

"Then I'll bring your reply to Vice President Raines.” Sophie closed the door and left.

After ten minutes.

Stephen brought the directors along with him as he came to the conference room.

Just as he reached the door, he ran into Sydney and Luke.

Sydney nodded and greeted him, "President Dayton."

"Congratulations, Vice President Raines. You succeeded in another few more contracts. You’re indeed amazing,” the corners of Stephen's mouth twitched as he said in an odd tone.

Sydney adjusted her hair and said, "You're flattering me, President Dayton.”

"No, I’m not flattering you at all but it's the truth. In this world, there aren't many who could ask her ex-husband for things even after a divorce," Stephen said sarcastically.

Sydney's expression darkened.

Luke even clenched his fist. "Old man, what did you say?” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

"Luke." Sydney tugged on Luke's arm as she tried to calm him down.

Stephen was afraid that Luke might use his fist. When he saw that Sydney was holding Luke back, he was relieved and continued, "President Chase, you’re another odd one. How can you remain so indifferent when your girlfriend is still in touch with her ex-husband? You're too generous as a man."

"You..."

"Luke!" Sydney almost lost his grip on Luke. She tugged on him with both her hands and shook her head vigorously. "Calm down."

"Darling, didn't you hear what he said?" Luke glared at Stephen angrily.

"I know, but using violence isn't right.”

After she said that, she let go of Luke and took a step forward. She was now standing before Luke. With a pair of cold eyes, she said to Stephen, "President Dayton, you think that the few contracts I just won were because of President Flint?”

"Are they not? Who on earth could win a few contracts at once? If you're not involved with President Flint, then what else could it be? You'll probably win the project on new energy technology this way." Stephen sneered.

Sydney tightened her fist by the side, but her expression remained indifferent. "So, this is what President Dayton thinks of me."

"The bad things you do will be exposed somehow or another. If Vice President Raines wants to win more contracts and more support from people in the corporation, I can understand that. But if you use such lowly methods, it will only worsen the relationship between Trison and Skylight." Stephen looked at her coldly.

Sydney sneered. "The conflict between Trison and

Skylight Corporation is bad enough that nothing can make it worse. These few contracts that I just signed are compensation from President Flint for Lyra Madden's sake. Are you stupid enough to think that the Maddens know nothing about it?”

After hearing Sydney's words, Stephen was stunned. " What do you mean?”

Sydney threw him a glance and said nothing more. She pushed the door into the conference room and went in.

When Luke passed by Stephen, he said contemptuously, “You don't even know how we won these few contracts and assumed that my darling used some dirty tricks. Now that the truth was different, are you ashamed of yourself?"

After saying that, Luke walked into the conference room without looking back.

Stephen remained on the spot with his expression twisted horribly.

The meeting was lengthy because it was related to a few cooperation.

They involved all of Skylight's industries, so everyone was seriously discussing the affairs after the signage of the contracts.

It was only toward the end of the night when plans to recover all the industries were finally drawn up. When the subsidiary companies under Flint Corporation send their funds over, the plans could

be put into place, and these stagnant industries under Skylight could be recovered again.

Skylight Corporation could then be out of the risk of bankruptcy, and enter a more stable state.

Even though Sydney was disgusted at how Julien protected Lyra, she had to admit that Julien gave Skylight Corporation a big help this time.

However, this did not mean that Sydney would forget about the incident.
