My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 953 I Said So to Deceive Him

'They not only threaten me but also humiliate me!'

Stephen was so furious that his head was about to explode. He breathed faster and blushed as if he would faint in the next second.

Sydney pretended not to know that he became so furious because of Julien. She smoothed her hair beside her ear. "Mr. Dayton, calm down. I know that you can't accept my decision to drive you out of Skylight Corporation, but I have no other choice. Between you and me, only one can stay here. I'm the chairman and have the most stocks, so I won't be the one to leave. Now that it's not me, you must be the one to leave. Originally, I haven't made up my mind, though you have always made things difficult for me. I have tolerated and forgiven you again and again for the sake of your contribution to Skylight Corporation, but..."

The smile disappeared on her face slowly, and her expression became cold. "But I won't tolerate you without limits. If you restrained your behaviors slightly, I would allow you to stay in Skylight Corporation until you retire. Unexpectedly, you have gone too far. You attack me with my origins and even my parents. What's more, you sow discord between Julien and me. I have run out of patience with you. I must drive you away. It's true that you have some stocks and that I can't drive you away directly. However, as the chairman, I have countless chances to set traps to force you to sell stocks. As long as you sell all of your stocks..."

She paused.

But Stephen understood her meaning.

After he lost his stocks, he wasn't a stockholder anymore but a normal employee.

As the chairman, it was easy for Sydney to fire a normal employee.

Of course, Stephen believed that she was able to do that. With a pale face, he struggled to make the last effort. "Sydney, how dare you?"

Sydney lifted her chin slightly and said in a cold and arrogant voice, "Of course, I dare to do that! Don't forget that I'm the chairman and that you're just a minor stockholder. For the sake of your contribution, you have been appointed the general manager. It doesn't mean that you can do anything you want and thumb your nose at me. You have made things difficult for me with Madeline many times. I have let you off so many times because I want to give you chances to repent and be the general manager responsibly. If so, I will let bygones be bygones. However, I'm wrong. You're incorrigible. What's worse, you think that I'm a pushover and don't have the guts to deal with you because I have let you off again and again. You even become more rampant."

The more she said, the angrier she became. Her face turned red.

Julien patted her back slightly to smooth her breaths and signaled to her to calm down. There was no need for her to be so angry with such a scum.

She understood Julien's meaning and realized that she was too emotional indeed. She took deep breaths and calmed down slightly. "I find that I'm wrong. I should have dealt with you and Madeline when you cooperated with her for the first time. If so, you wouldn't have the chance to show up in front of me and disgust me today. Although it's a little late for me to realize the truth, it doesn't matter. I can deal with you now. Thus, please cherish your last time at Skylight Corporation. I said that the best way to take revenge on one was to let them live no better than let them die. I wait to see how grievous you will be after you're driven out of Skylight Corporation and can't get it anymore."

After she finished speaking, she made eye contact with Julien under Stephen's terrified gaze.

Julien understood her meaning and nodded. He pressed the button to open the doors of the elevator.

The doors of the elevator were opened. Outside the elevator, it was the hall on the first floor of Skylight Corporation.

The elevator had arrived on the first floor a while ago. To confront Stephen, Sydney had pressed the button to close the door as soon as the elevator arrived on the first floor.

Thus, the doors of the elevator had been closed since it arrived on the first floor.

After she walked out of the elevator and took a breath of fresh air, her mood immediately became better.

It was torture for her to breathe in the same air with such a scum.

Seeing that she relaxed, Julien opened the car door for her.

She bent and was about to get in the car.

Suddenly, he called her to stop.

"What's the matter?" She had stepped one foot in the car. She withdrew her foot and looked at him curiously.

He also looked at her. "Aren't you afraid that Stephen will be out of mind in anger and hurt you after you said so to him in the elevator?"

All the time, Stephen had schemed against her to get Skylight Corporation.

Now she had had it out with Stephen. She told him that she would set traps to let him sell his stocks and drive him out of Skylight Corporation.

Even a worm would turn. He might try to kill her.

Seeing that Julien was worried about her, she smiled. "Don't worry. I have thought of it. I will arrange for security guards of the Security Department to keep an eye on Stephen. He won't have the chance to hurt me."

"It's not enough." Julien shook his head. "You have recruited security guards outside, and they haven't been trained systematically. They can't react immediately to many things. I would arrange for some bodyguards to disguise as security guards of your company to keep an eye on Stephen and protect you."

Julien was serious. She opened her mouth but didn't refuse him in the end.

It was about her safety. She wasn't that stubborn.

He had made the best arrangement, so she didn't refuse.

After all, compared to bodyguards, security guards were much less useful.

She looked at Julien and thanked him sincerely, "OK. Thank you."

He flicked her forehead. "You don't need to thank me. It's my duty to protect my wife."

Hearing that, she blushed. "I'm not your wife. Don't talk nonsense."

"I didn't talk nonsense. You were my wife in the past. You're my wife now and will be my wife forever. I have regarded you as my wife in my heart, though we haven't applied for the marriage certificate. Would you like to go to apply for the marriage certificate now?" He looked at her sincerely.

Her heart beat fast. "Apply for the marriage certificate? You change the topic so quickly. Besides, in the elevator, you said that you had decided on the wedding day. When did you decide it? Why didn't you tell me that?"

She had the impulse to ask him at that time and made eye contact with him.

But he didn't reply.

Now he had to give her an explanation.

She was determined to get an explanation from him. He smiled. "I said so to deceive Stephen."

"To deceive him?" She fell into a trance.

He lifted his chin. "That's it."

"You were so serious at that time. I thought that you really..."

He held her waist and pulled her into his arms. Then he closed the car door with the other hand, cornered her to the car door and said in a husky and charming voice, "But if you would like to, I can decide the date at any time."

"No." She avoided his gaze and refused immediately.

He frowned. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

She sighed. "I have told you that I won't think about getting married before I take revenge. My thoughts are still the same, so you..."

He pulled her into his arms more tightly and interrupted her. "Alright, got it. Don't worry. Although I would like to marry you immediately, I won't force you if you're reluctant. I will respect you all the time."

She leaned against his chest and said with guilt, "You're so considerate. I'm so sorry."
