Chapter 4 Young Man
Chapter 4 Young Man
Back in the car, she returned to the elegant and confident Sydney Raines again.
Luke chuckled. "There are some good-looking ones in The Little Treasury today. Do you want to go have a look?"-
The Little Treasury was a place for people to splurge on entertainment.
Sydney was speechless. "Dude, are you serious? I just got back to being single."
Luke winked and pretended to be mysterious." Actually, there's someone who wants to meet you."
"Who?"
"You know him. You'll find out when you get there."
Sydney pondered for a moment before she nodded. " Fine."
Luke had an exclusive room in The Little Treasury. As the two walked in, the man on the sofa stood up and looked over.
He was in his early twenties, was extremely tall, and had an angular face with sharp eyes. When he saw her, a glint flashed at the bottom of his eyes.
"Hey, we meet again."
The young man in front of Sydney seemed familiar, but she could not recall where she had seen him before.
"Have you forgotten? Six years ago, your father and you sponsored a poor student in Rivervale.”
At Luke's words, Sydney suddenly remembered.
"You're... Layden?" 1
The young man's sharp eyes suddenly softened, and a charming smile rose from the corners of his mouth. " That's me."
Layden Lowe was a very smooth talker. Sydney learned from Luke that Layden was now a popular model. He had long since left the poor rural areas and had become a celebrity who often appeared in Port City's magazines.
Sydney used to focus wholly on the Flint family, so she rarely paid attention to entertainment programs. At the thought that the once poor little boy had turned into a white swan, she sighed in gratification.
After chatting for a while, the three of them were ready to leave.
However, as they passed by the bar, a green wine bottle flew at Sydney's head.
Surprisingly, Layden moved faster than her and shielded her in his arms first. The bottle smashed against his back with a clang. 1
"Are you alright, Sydney?"
Sydney was very grateful and hurriedly checked his back. Fortunately, he did not get hurt. With a cold face, she turned her eyes to the direction from which the bottle flew.
It turned out to be Jayden Flint! 2
"You b*tch! How dare you cheat on my brother behind his back?”
Jayden had been drinking with a group of friends when he saw Sydney enter the private room with two men. They were inside for a long time. Who knew what kind of unseemly acts they were doing?
When he saw them talking and laughing, his blood rushed to his brain, and he threw the bottle in his hands. 1
Luke rolled up his sleeves and was just about to go forward. "Hey! This little boy must want a good beating."
Sydney pulled him back. "I'll go."
She walked up to Jayden step by step.
Jayden bristled. "The bottle didn't hit you!"
Sydney's face was expressionless, and that calm gaze was somewhat frightening. "I’ve been wanting to say something to you for a long time now."
"What?"
"Do you know how annoying you are? I've been married to your brother for six years, but you’ve never once called me your sister-in-law. I have to take care of you when you go to school, and I also have to take care of you when you finish school. You're always either pointing fingers at me or speaking rudely to me. Did your 17 years of schooling go down the toilet?"
Jayden's eyes narrowed when he heard her criticizing him. "You-"
"Shut up." Sydney interrupted him sternly and continued, "I've divorced your brother, so I have nothing to do with your family anymore. I'm free to be with whoever I want. You have no right to question me. If you continue to provoke me, I'm sorry to say that you'll have to go to the slammer as a minor." 1
Jayden's face turned red. All his words were stuck in his throat.
However, Sydney ignored him and turned to leave.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
