My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 1054 To Be Promoted

Sydney had just picked up the phone when Hunter's loud voice rang out. "Sydney, are you okay?"

It startled her.

In the past, although Hunter spoke in a frivolous tone, his voice was neither too loud nor too low.

Why did his voice become so loud now?

It felt like he was yelling on the phone.

Sydney rubbed her ears that were somewhat numb from Hunter's shout before replying, "Yes."

"Really?" Hunter's loud voice sounded again. "Those people made such a big fuss online. I heard about it even in the countryside, so I hurriedly found a place with phone signals to call you. What's going on?"

'So Hunter is in the countryside.

'The countryside has bad reception. I guess that's why Hunter's voice is suddenly so loud.

'After all, the reception is bad, so sometimes his voice can't be heard on the phone.'

Sydney had thought that Hunter had become rough after going to the villages for inspection.

"Here's the thing..."

Sydney told Hunter what had happened and that there was someone making trouble behind the curtain.

Yet she didn't tell him who the person was.

After all, Hunter and Julien were friends, so Hunter would definitely tell Julien if he knew.

In that case, her plan would fail.

She wanted to hide the fact that she knew who the culprit was for the time being.

Sydney wanted to see Julien's reaction and how he would solve this matter.

She hoped that Julien would not let her down.

Otherwise, even though she loved him very much, she wouldn't continue to be with him.

She didn't think a man who could let his woman suffer for someone else was reliable.

"What?" On the other end of the phone, a frown appeared on Hunter's handsome, tanned face after he heard Sydney's words. "It's actually one of Julien's admirers who messes with you. How dare she!"

Sydney sneered, "Yeah, someone gave her support."

That woman's grandfather was Julien's teacher.

Miss McDaniel was so bold because of this.

She was probably very confident that Julien wouldn't do anything to her for the sake of her grandfather.

"Who is she?" Hunter slapped the tree beside him. "You said someone supported her. Do you know who it is?"

Sydney lowered her eyes and said half-truthfully, "Yes, but I'm not sure yet."

"That's okay. Just say it, and I'll find out for you." Hunter patted his chest and said with an expression of assurance, "I'll definitely find out soon."

Hearing him offer to help, Sydney was touched.

Hunter was just an ordinary friend to her, not a very close friend.

Yet Hunter called to show concern for her when she was in trouble, and he offered to help her, which was something that many people could not do.

So she was naturally moved.

"Thank you for your kindness, but no need." Sydney smiled, "We can solve it. Don't worry." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Sydney's refusal was actually expected by Hunter.

But when this moment really came, he felt disappointed.

Hunter sat down on the grass, casually pulled a piece of grass, and put it into his mouth. He then lay down, chewing the grass while saying in frustration, "It's true. You still have Julien beside you, so you don't need our help."

Sydney didn't think much about why he was so frustrated. She just thought he was upset to hear her rejection.

"Don't say that." Sydney shook her head with some amusement and said, "Don't forget we're still partners. We're going to deal with the Madden family together. The Madden family hasn't fallen yet, so I'll need your help in the future. I don't have to trouble you with something I can handle, right?"

Hearing this, Hunter cheered up. He spat the grass out, hastily nodded his head, and responded, "You're right. Then I'll leave this matter to Julien. He's your man anyway. It's more justifiable for him

to intervene in it."

"Uh-huh," Sydney replied with a faint smile.

"But then again." Hunter frowned, and his face became more serious. "I just asked my assistant to go online to see what was going on. That matter happened very early in the morning, and now it's afternoon. How come Julien doesn't even have the intention of suppressing the news? Does Julien still not know about that?"

"He did not know at first. It's almost New Year's Eve. The Flint Corporation is going to take stock. As the president, he is very busy, so it's normal that he didn't know about this matter at once. Yet he just called me, and I didn't answer the phone. I guess he already knew about it and contacted me because of this matter," Sydney replied.

Hunter nodded. "I see. Then I'm relieved. The news on the Internet may be suppressed soon, but when do you guys plan to clear things up? You can't just suppress the news without responding, right? This will be a sign of feeling guilty in the eyes of the outsiders."

"We will respond, but it depends on Julien," Sydney said with her eyes downcast, hiding the emotions in her eyes.

Sydney hadn't yet refuted the online rumors because after knowing that the person behind it was Mr. McDaniel's granddaughter, she wanted to see how Julien would deal with this matter.

Would he want her to keep silent to let things quiet down or just go public with their relationship?

If the latter, then she would be satisfied with Julien's behavior.

If the former, she wouldn't listen to Julien.

Why should she tolerate those who slandered and bullied her?

In short, she didn't respond now just to see Julien's attitude.

Hunter naturally wasn't clear about Sydney's thoughts. After all, he didn't even know who the person behind the curtain was.

"Since you guys have plans, that's fine. Then I won't ask any more questions, but if there's anything you need me for, feel free to contact me. If you can't get through to me, you can send an email, and my assistant will keep me informed." Hunter stretched, resuming his usual lazy appearance and demeanor. He didn't look like an official at all. He seemed like a dashing playboy.

However, Sydney knew that despite his appearance, Hunter was very careful and sociable. He was a born politician.

"OK, I will," Sydney smiled.

"Good, then you have to keep your word." Hunter patted his butt and stood up from the ground. "I have some things to do here. I'm going to investigate a village, so I'm hanging up. I made time to call you. I'm very good to you, right?"

'Do you want to break up with Julien and consider me?'

Hunter promptly stopped, hiding these words in his heart.

Sydney covered her lips and smiled, "Indeed, thank you for your kindness, Mr. Cohen. Well, go ahead. I won't bother you anymore. I believe that when you come back, you'll be promoted."

Hunter chuckled, "That's right. I'm doing well. I will absolutely be promoted."

"That's great. Let me congratulate you in advance." Sydney put her cell phone between her ear and shoulder and made a congratulatory gesture.
