'It was arousing?'

'What does he mean?'

I was also here and had listened to the whole process, but I didn't find it arousing at all.'

'On the contrary, I felt nauseous.'

Therefore, Sydney thought it was simply an excuse, which was used by Julien to kiss her.

Seeing that Sydney's eyes were red with anger, Julien took out his hand from his pants pocket and gently touched her head." Well, I admit that it's an excuse, but I really couldn't help kissing you. My beloved was in my arms and took the initiative to give me a kiss, so how could I not kiss you back?

Sydney originally wanted to take his hand off her head, but when she heard his words, her hand which was in the air suddenly lost strength and hung down again. The blush on her face was deepening, and she looked away while whispering, "I... I didn't take the initiative to kiss you. Those two people kept banging on the door, and the door hit me. That was why I accidentally kissed you."

"I know." Julien nodded and then asked," Have you been hurt?"

"No." Sydney shook her head.

The door did not bump into her at a distance but was always against her back, so there was no force that suddenly hit her. Naturally, it didn't hurt her much.

"Good." Julien nodded slightly, and his face softened.

Then he thought of something and asked," Do you know that woman?"

Hearing his question, Sydney temporarily suppressed her inner shyness and anger, nodding. "Hmm."

"Who is she?" Julien looked at her.

Sydney took a deep breath and replied with a calm face, "Madeline Raines."

"Madeline Raines?" Julien frowned, feeling this name was somewhat familiar.

Soon he remembered who she was, and his face, which had always been cold and expressionless, could not help showing a trace of amazement, "Your father's second daughter."

He didn't say Madeline was her younger sister.

He knew that Sydney and Madeline had no sisterhood at all.

What's more, he remembered that she had written about how she had been bullied by her stepmother and her stepmother's daughter.

Therefore, he did not admit that Madeline was Sydney's sister and thought it was appropriate to call Madeline Harry's second daughter.

"Yes, it's her." Sydney clenched her hand, and her eyes were filled with anger. "Six years ago, she and Kaylie took away the last working capital of the Skylight Corporation, as well as the savings and valuable things in the house. I had thought that they would use the large sum of money to have a rich life, but I didn't expect that Madeline would survive as a homewrecker. If my father were alive and knew it, he would be very angry."

At this point, she suddenly patted her forehead. "Oh, I almost forget that I haven't given this recording to my friends yet. It's almost time for the couple to give a speech. If I don't let my friend listen to this recording in time, they will really be engaged after they give speeches. Then it will be late."

At that time, it would be hard for her friend to annul the engagement even if she wanted to.

"Then go." Julien stroked her hair, then withdrew his hand, and said, "I'll wait for you at the door of the elevator. After you come back, I'll take you to find Mr. Stone."

Sydney looked up at him, managed a smile, and nodded because of his encouraging eyes. "Well, I'll go now."

"Hmm."

Sydney pinched her cell phone and walked away in high heels.

Julien looked at her back. After she disappeared, the tenderness on his face slowly disappeared. Then he took out his cell phone and dialed a number. "Mr.

Ferrell, it's me. I want to talk to you about your son after the engagement party."

At the same time, Sydney found her friend.

They haven't seen each other for many years, so they were both excited.

After chatting for a while, Sydney took out her mobile phone, told her friend why she was here, and played the recording for her.

However, after listening to the recording, the expression on her friend's face did not change much. Surprisingly, she looked like she had already known it.

Sydney looked at her in surprise. "You knew your fiance was having an affair?"

Her friend shook the wine glass and smiled. "Yes, I knew it. He can't hide it from me."

"Then why did you decide to be engaged to him?" Sydney didn't understand.

Her friend looked down and was sad. "I am engaged to him not because I love him, but because his family is good and suitable, and the person I really want to marry is already dead." "Dead?" Sydney froze.

Her friend nodded, "Yes. In the past years, I met a man who loved me very much. He had been pursuing me, but he was not my type, so I didn't agree to be with him. Later, I was tired of him pestering me, so I wanted to try to be with him. Anyway, I hadn't found anyone I like, so I thought I would be happy with someone who loved me. However..."

Her friend's eyes were moist. "However, not long after we were together, he suddenly died in an accident. It was not until that moment that I suddenly realized that I had lost the person who loved me most in the world. I may not be happy in the future. There will be no one like him to tolerate my bad temper and protect me."

Her friend suddenly took Sydney's hand and said, "Sydney, do you have anyone you like?"

Sydney's eyes flashed, "Uh... No..."

Her friend continued to ask because of Sydney's uncertain tone, "Does anyone like you?" "Yes." Julien's figure instantly appeared in Sydney's mind.

Soon she shook her head to drive his figure away.

'It's strange. He does like me, but he is not the only one who likes me. Luke and Cay also both like me.'

'Why did I think of him first?'

Her friend said seriously, "Sydney, as an experienced person, I want to tell you that if you have someone you like and that person also likes you, you two must be together. If you don't have someone you like, then be with someone who likes you. Even if you don't like him, his love will also make you feel happy. Don't be like me. I didn't know it until I lost him, so now it's too late to regret it." 'Be with someone who likes you...' A trace of confusion appeared in Sydney's eyes, and she replied. "I will consider it."

"Good. As your friend, I want you to be happy. Thank you for recording this for me. Well, now I'm going out to give a speech. Would you like to come to the hall with me?"

Her friend let go of Sydney's hand, stood up, and asked.

Sydney shook her head. "No, I have to find someone."

"Then I'm leaving."

"Hmm."

Her friend wiped her tears, took a breath to adjust her mood, showed a decent smile, and walked out of the dressing room while raising her hemlines.

After her friend left, Sydney looked at her phone and went out to find Julien.

Just as Sydney walked out of the dressing room, the ground suddenly shook.

Wearing a pair of high heels, Sydney lost her footing and suddenly fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the corridor was also covered with a soft red carpet, so Sydney did not hurt or twist her foot. Sydney did not immediately stand up but lay half on the ground because the ground didn't stop shaking. If she stood up, she would fall again.

What's going on? Earthquake?'

Sydney looked at the dangling chandelier above her head and listened to the faint screams of horror nearby. She was sure that it was indeed an earthquake and that the earthquake's magnitude was not small. "Earthquake. Run."

"Oh, who stepped on me?"

"It hurts. Don't hit me!"

At this time, many people ran out of the nearby elevator, scrambling for their lives. Looking at their scared looks, Sydney suddenly thought of Julien and became nervous.
