Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!
Chapter 703 Things in the Past

From these bullet comments on the screen, Julien could tell that Zach had successfully prevented the issue from going popular.

He turned off the video and rubbed his brow because he hadn't been relieved yet.

After all, covering up the issue was not the solution. Besides, some people had already watched it.

So, things should be resolved.

While he was lost in thought, the bathroom door suddenly opened.

Sydney came out in the black silk lingerie selected by him.

With no shoes on, she stepped on the carpet and thus made no sound.

If it weren't for the fragrance from her body, Julien wouldn't have noticed that she was out.

Julien put his hand down from his brows and looked over.

His pupils contracted when he saw Sydney coming up in the lingerie.

She was fresh out of the shower. Still wet, her hair cascaded down to her white shoulders. A few strands drooped to her sexy collarbones and shook as she walked. The black nightgown was a stark contrast to her fair skin, and he couldn't tear his eyes away.

Sydney naturally felt the ardent gaze of the man. Her face, red from the steam, flushed further.

She looked down at her thin nightgown and glared at the man. "What are you looking at?"

Julien chuckled, "You look stunning in this."

The sudden compliment made Sydney shy, and she looked away.

The curve at the corners of her mouth gave away her good mood.

Obviously, the man's compliment had delighted her.

"Come here." Julien suddenly patted the bed.

Sydney was alerted. "What for?"

'He is not going to...'

'No, he is not that lascivious.'

He was aware that her period hadn't been over yet.

"I'll dry your hair." Julien took out a compact hair dryer and waved it.

Sydney heaved a sigh of relief.

'That's how it is.'

As she thought, he was not that horny.

Sydney went over and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Just then, a shadow suddenly bore down. Stretching out from behind her, a pair of big hands grabbed each end of a white bathrobe, and she was wrapped inside. Sydney looked down at his hands that gripped her waist. "Why are you..."

Julien rested his head on the back of her neck and croaked, "I have to wrap you up and prevent you from showing up in front of me like this. I'm afraid of losing control." He was a normal man who would be turned on when his beloved woman walked about in front of his eyes in such sexy clothes.

To quench his desire, he had to wrap her along with her lingerie in his robe.

It just felt terrible to watch but not touch.

Surprised to hear that, Sydney laughed behind her hand in a gloating way, "You selected it for me."

"Yeah." Julien snuggled up against her neck with his forehead, "I regret it."

He shouldn't have rushed her to wear this kind of lingerie. He should have waited till they got married.

Now she was wearing it, but he suffered because he couldn't touch her.

Sydney laughed out loud, "It serves you right!"

Julien sighed helplessly, "Okay, tie up the robe. I'm going to dry your hair."

"Sure." Sydney nodded, stuck her hands into the sleeves, and tied the waistband.

Julien turned on the dryer and flipped her hair.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Sydney slightly closed her eyes and enjoyed it.

Enjoying service was indeed a pure pleasure.

The process lasted so long that Sydney almost fell asleep. Only then did Julien turn off the dryer. "It's done."

Sydney opened her eyes and touched her hair, which was bone dry.

It was not an easy task to dry her long thick hair.

His hands were sore, for sure.

If he were not patient enough, he would have stopped halfway.

It delighted her that Julien carried it through.

"Thanks." Sydney flipped her hair to one side, turned around, and thanked the man who was putting the dryer away.

His brows were locked in a frown. Something seemed to be bothering him.

Sydney blinked and asked, "What's wrong? When I came out of the bathroom, I noticed your anxious look. Did anything happen?"

Julien put the dryer down on the head of the bed and replied, "It's not about me but you."

"Me?" Sydney pointed to herself in surprise.

Julien hummed and said, "Madeline exposed your identity on the internet and slandered you by live streaming.

"What?" Sydney overcame her surprise, pulled a long face, and quickly took her phone to search through the internet.

Although the event had been covered up, there was still relevant information.

She watched the replay of the live stream event and sneered, "This is something she would do."

"You sound like you've predicted her action," Julien asked the unperturbed woman in surprise.

Sydney nodded and explained, "I know Madeline well. She's stupid and always stirs up trouble. After learning that I'm not related to the Raines by blood, she found me and asked for my shares in the name of the biological daughter of the Raines family. What she didn't know is that Skylight Corporation no longer belongs to the Raines family, and my stocks didn't come from my dad. She failed to attain her goal, but given my knowledge of her, she would not give up so easily. Far from it, she would use my identity to trip me up, and leveraging public opinion is the best option."

"You mean Madeline asked for your shares during the day?" Julien asked after hearing her out.

Sydney nodded lightly. "Exactly, she did that and accused my mom of cheating on my dad. It pissed me off, and I slapped her."

'So, those imprints on Madeline's face were left by you.'

Julien's thin lips twitched.

He had thought that Madeline had someone slap her to frame Sydney.

Julien chuckled, "It serves her right."

"You bet." Sydney held her chin high and then turned cold again, "She slandered my mom, so she deserved it. I thought she would learn her lesson and stop. Unexpectedly, my words have fallen on deaf ears. She exposed my identity, accused me of bullying her since our childhood, and slandered my mom in public. This time I will show her no mercy. In fact, the one who cheated on my dad was Kaylie." "Oh?" Julien raised his eyebrows, "Is Madeline a love child?"

"No." Sydney shook her head, "Madeline is indeed my dad's daughter, but Kaylie cuckolded my dad. At first, he hadn't thought of remarrying.

She stood up. Her face was icy cold. "The person my dad loved was always my mom. His heart died when she passed away. There was no way he considered marrying another woman." "But he did." Julien looked at her, "Was he tricked?"
