Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!
Chapter 541 The Reason Why I Don’t Like Sydney

"What do you mean?" Julien squinted his eyes.

"What my father experienced? What happened to my father?'

Mentioning Alexander, Velma became sad and lonely.

She sat down with her hand on the armrest of the sofa, her eyes were a little dazed, and her face, which had always been snobbish and mean, turned gentle and even looked somewhat guilty.

"More than a decade ago, when I married your father, what we got were not blessings but ridicules. No one in your father's circle accepted me, and your father became a joke in his circle just because he married me, who had no background, no education, and was not good at all aspects."

Velma stroked the ring on her ring finger.

The ring was a platinum diamond ring, but it was not shiny at all but gray and looked very old. It could be told that it had been worn for many years and had never been taken off to wash it.

The ring was a little small for her, dividing her ring finger into two parts and bulging the flesh on both sides.

Even so, she didn't take it off.

It could be seen that the ring meant a lot to her.

Velma looked down at the wedding ring that Alexander had put on her finger and said slowly, "Your father was originally the best man in his circle, but since he married me, all the people in his circle stayed away from your father. They thought that your father lowered the level of their circle after he brought me into their circle, so they often laughed at your father for not having good eyes and often set me up to make jokes to embarrass your father."

At this point, Velma suddenly clenched her fat hands with red eyes, and her originally peaceful face even turned a little twisted.

"What I just said isn't the worst; the worst thing is that the women in the circle united and messed with me after they knew I was uneducated. They wanted me to show them several important contracts of the Flint Corporation and said they would show them to their husbands. They also said their husbands would cooperate with the Flint Corporation after reading those contracts and the Flint Corporation would grow faster because of their cooperations with the company."

"You did that?" Julien raised his eyebrows.

Velma nodded, "Yes, I did. I didn't know anything, but I wanted to help your father like other people's wives helped their husbands. However, after I did that, not only did I not help your father and the Flint Corporation, but also hurt your father. I made your father lose important contracts and let the Flint Corporation face a great upheaval that year."

"I know that."

Zach pushed his glasses up. "The Flint Corporation suffered a great loss that year. If it wasn't for the Old Madam to come forward and deal with things, the Flint Corporation might have disappeared. I heard that Mr. Flint was dismissed as president by the Old Madam." "If grandmother didn't dismiss my father, she couldn't appease the shareholders." Julien said faintly.

Velma's face became more and more remorseful. "Yes, so during that time, your father was depressed and drank a lot of wine every night. In the end, the Old

Madam couldn't bear to see it and asked your father to go on a business trip abroad. She said if he could reach cooperation with a foreign chaebol family, he would let the shareholders believe his ability again and then he could be reinstated as president. But I didn't expect..."

She covered her face, broke down, and burst into tears.

Julien clenched his fist and said in a hoarse voice, "You didn't expect that my father died in a foreign hotel."

Velma cried and nodded.

Julien asked Zach to push him to the coffee table and then pulled out two sheets of paper towels to hand to his mother." Now I know why you always say that Sydney is not suitable for me. The Raines family has fallen out of the ranks of the rich and powerful families, so you think Sydney can't help me, can't help the Flint Corporation, may even hold me back, and may let me be looked down upon and laughed at by people in the circle like my father."

"Yes."

Velma looked up at her son. "That's what I mean. I've killed your father. I don't want you to go the same way as your father."

That was why she humiliated Sydney and was fond of Lyra in the previous six years.

The Madden family did not fall out of the ranks of the rich and powerful families, and Lyra's father, Brandon, would always support Lyra, so Velma thought Lyra was much better than Sydney, an orphan. Moreover, Brandon had only one daughter, Lyra. After Brandon died, everything in the Madden family would belong to Julien, the Flint Corporation could expand, and then she could let go of some of her guilt. Unexpectedly, Lyra was not a good person.

"Mom, thank you for your consideration and concern about me." Julien's expression softened.

'Anyway, she doesn't like Sydney and doesn't want me to be with Sydney because of me.'

He could not deny her kindness, but equally he could not accept it.

So he looked at his mother and said seriously, "But I will still be with Sydney."

"What?"

Velma opened her eyes wide, "You will still be with her?"

She said so much that she even said the sad past that she didn't want to mention, so she thought she could persuade him, but unexpectedly he still insisted on remarrying Sydney.

All her words were in vain.

"Yes." Julien nodded, "Sydney and I will not experience what happened to you and my father; because Sydney is different from you."

"What's the difference?" Velma didn't understand.

She admitted that Sydney had better background than her.

Although Sydney had a company, Skylight Corporation, the Raines family was no longer rich.

Velma didn't know anything about business, but she knew now the Skylight Corporation didn't make money.

It meant Sydney didn't have any money.

So Velma didn't know how Sydney was different from the previous Velma?

"You two are different in every way." Julien put his hand into his suit pocket, stroking Azure Heart, and replied, "Sydney does not have anything now, but she is enterprising and has a certain talent for business. The Skylight Corporation will develop well with her efforts, so it is only a matter of time before the Raines family returns to the ranks of the rich and powerful families." Thinking of something, Julien smiled. "If someone dares to look down on her and laugh at her, she will fight back instead of keeping silent and letting others laugh at her now. Mom, she is better than you on this point. If you had been able to do so, maybe the situation that you and my father faced would not have been so serious.

Secondly, the Flint Corporation has become very powerful after being developed by me for so many years, and it's several times stronger than it was managed by my father, so now the Flint family doesn't need a marriage alliance to remain strong. My ability is the biggest reason to make the Flint family strong.

"1

"Doesn't need..." Velma murmured with a confused face.

'How could we not need it?'

In her understanding, the rich and powerful families all needed marriage alliances.

"Yes, we don't need it. Those families who rely on marriages to remain strong are not really strong. Mom, now the Flint family is no longer the Flint family it used to be. Please think about it. I really hope you accept Sydney. I don't want to choose between you and Sydney. If I really need to choose one and leave her, it must not be Sydney." Julien stared at Velma and said.

Velma froze as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

'It must not be Sydney? He means he will choose me and leave me?'

For a moment, Velma completely froze and her face turned pale.
