Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! -
Chapter 711 Various Intentions
The reporters were not stupid. They knew how much power Julien's assistant had.
Considering Julien, their bosses would definitely listen to Zach and fire the reporters, so they better run now.
Soon, the reporters surrounding Zach were all gone.
Zach straightened his suit and gave a smug smile, "Hehe, you guys are smart!" Zach then headed for the Skylight entrance after straightening his tie.
As Madeline revealed online that Sydney was not Harry's daughter, it had stirred huge trouble for Skylight.
Right now, the shareholders and executives of the Skylight Group were sitting in the conference room waiting for Sydney. They were going to question her about whether she could settle the trouble and how she was going to settle it.
Stephen and his group, in particular, were very excited.
They agreed with Madeline. They didn't think today's conference could solve things.
After all, it would be hard for Sydney to take out any evidence.
If Sydney couldn't provide any evidence, the conference would be a failure.
Stephen and his group were looking forward to that.
Then they would have a chance to beat Sydney.
Stephen, in particular, was planning to use this opportunity to get Sydney to surrender part of her authority.
Even with Flint Corporation behind Sydney, if the matter couldn't be handled properly, the scandal about Sydney being the daughter of her mother another man, how she took Harry's shares, and how she bullied Harry's own daughter would be branded as fact.
Then everyone would despise and criticize Sydney.
And even Julien, who spoke up for her, would also be criticized, as his Twitter post last night clearly illustrated in his unprincipled defense of Sydney.
As a result, people in the business community and even the shareholders of Flint Corporation would begin to doubt whether Julien was trustworthy and whether he had the ability to run Flint Corporation well. Once people started to doubt Julien, Flint Corporation's stockholders would take sides, and Julien would lose his authority at Flint Corporation.
By then, Julien would need to deal with his own problems. How could he help Sydney?
Maybe Julien would blame Sydney for the trouble she caused him. Maybe he would break up with her again.
Without the shelter of Flint Corporation and losing part of her authority, Sydney would be subject to Stephen's manipulation.
Stephen would then return the humiliation Sydney had given him over the past few months!
Stephen became so excited at the thought that his hand trembled and his breathing became short.
Madeline, sitting to his left, was the same.
Madeline looked at the head of the table, the chairman's seat, desire in her eyes.
'It will be soon!'
Madeline thought she would soon be able to sit in that seat and replace Sydney.
'Sydney has no evidence to prove herself. She can't stand people's criticism. She has no choice but to give me her shares.'
Madeline couldn't help but laugh out loud when she thought of this.
Hearing Madeline's laughter and seeing the ambition in her eyes, Stephen knew why Madeline had laughed. A wicked glimmer flashed across Stephen's eyes. He gave a kind smile, "Madeline, congratulations! You're about to get what you've always wanted."
"You're kidding. It's too early to say that." Madeline tucked her hair behind her ear and pretended to be modest.
Stephen took a sip of tea and continued, "It's a little early though, it's going to be soon, so I'm congratulating you in advance. When you get it, don't forget about me."
"Don't worry, Uncle Stephen. Certainly, I won't forget you. I'll need your help in the future." Madeline raised her cup of tea and made a toasting gesture.
Stephen also lifted his teacup and made a toasting gesture.
As the two spoke, they entirely ignored the presence of others.
Stephen's group was excited about their conversation.
Sydney's group all frowned, but they didn't say anything because they weren't sure if Sydney would win at the news conference today.
For a while, the atmosphere in the conference room was very tense.
Some people were so excited as if they were celebrating, while some people were very depressed, as if the world was ending.
Those people were on Sydney's side. They were in the same boat as Sydney.
If Sydney lost the chairman's seat, those people would be in trouble, too. Stephen would try to get rid of them.
How could they raise their spirits?
Sydney's group all had sullen faces.
Just then, the door to the conference room opened.
Sean came in with a file in her hand.
After she entered the room, she waited at the door.
Then the crisp sound of high heels came out of the door.
Everyone knew Sydney was coming.
Although everyone in the room had various intentions at the moment, they all tensed up. They stood up to greet Sydney.
At that moment, Sydney was still the chairman of the board.
Whatever their intentions were, they needed to show their courtesy.
When everyone had stood up, Sean said to the door, "Ms. Raines, Mr. Flint, please come in."
'Mr. Flint?'
It quickly caught everyone's attention.
People glanced at each other. They were all surprised and confused.
'Why is Julien here?'
'Is he here to back Sydney up?'
Immediately, everyone in Sydney's group smiled. They saw the light of hope.
'With Mr. Flint's support, Ms. Raines may succeed in today's news conference.'
On the contrary, Stephen's group became anxious.
They were the opposite of Sydney's group. They were worried that with Julien's support, Sydney would get through it, and their expectations were going to be dashed. Especially Stephen, his face looked awful at that moment.
Madeline was a stupid woman. She didn't think that much about it.
She was happy about Julien's arrival.
She looked at the door with excited eyes.
She wondered if Julien would give up on Sydney if Sydney failed at the news conference.
She guessed Julien would.
'Julien is such a smart man. He knows that if Sydney fails, he will also get in trouble, so he will definitely break up with Sydney.'
Madeline's face flushed with excitement at the thought. The others all guessed what she was thinking.
Stephen gave Madeline a sneer, but he didn't say anything to her.
He wouldn't care if Madeline was humiliated in the end.
Sydney and Julien had no idea what those people were thinking. They entered the conference room.
Julien walked in front, and Sydney walked behind.
He was holding her hand, his pace slow, his eyes gentle, a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. Behind him, Sydney was the same, a smile on her face.
