My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 1016 Change Her Mind

The business world was harsh but tolerant.

If one struggled in business alone and didn't have any backers, they would be eaten up by those covetous predators in business sooner or later.

Luke's tone was serious. Sydney bit her lip and looked at him.

After a while, she asked with uncertainty, "Do you really think that I should rely on him?"

"My opinion is unimportant." He shrugged. "Now that Julien can be your backer, why do you refuse? I know the reason. You think that it will show your incompetence if you can't deal with things alone, and you will be inferior to Julien in the relationship. Thus, you're reluctant to accept his help."

She fell silent.

'Luke is right. It's the main reason why I'm reluctant to rely on Julien.

'In my opinion, I can only rely on myself in the world. Others can help me temporarily but can't help me forever.

'If I get used to relying on Julien, what can I do when I break up with him or when he feels annoyed because I ask for help from him again and again?

'If one gets used to relying on others, they will gradually lose the ability to solve problems. I'm unwilling to be like that. Thus, I don't want to ask for help from Julien first when I face problems.

'There is another reason. I don't want others to only remember that I'm Julien's girlfriend instead of the president of Skylight Corporation when they mention Skylight Corporation or me.

'If so, I will feel that I'm Julien's appendage. In others' eyes, I'm bundled with Julien, not an independent person.

'When others mention me, they will always think of Julien first.

'Also, every time I ask for help from Julien, I feel embarrassed. I feel incapable and feel that I'm inferior to him. As time goes by, I will have mental problems and become a totally different person. Even I don't know what kind of person I will be.

'For these various reasons, how can I be willing to ask for help from Julien?

'I would like to be as powerful as Julien and can stand beside him confidently. When others see me, their first thought is that I'm the president of Skylight Corporation and that I'm a capable person who lets Skylight Corporation reach new heights. I'm as excellent as Julien, and we are a perfect match for each other.

'I don't want others to only remember that I'm Julien's girlfriend and ignore my other identities when they see me. I don't want to be overshadowed by him thoroughly.

'That's not what I want!'

Seeing that Sydney frowned and hesitated, Luke knew her thoughts.

After all, they grew up together. He was the person who knew her best.

He was confident that he knew her better than Julien.

Luke sighed, "You're reluctant to show weakness. It isn't a good thing sometimes. You will suffer loss. It's a good thing that you're reluctant to rely on others. However, you have never thought that you're a novice. If you don't rely on the people you can rely on, how can you solve some things? Have you ever thought that things might be worse if you insist on dealing with them by yourself?"

Her pupils contracted. She was stuck for words.

Luke was right. She had never thought of it indeed.

She thought that she could deal with everything if she tried her best and held on.

She forgot that she was in business. Even if she tried her best and held on, she couldn't deal with everything. Behind that, she needed connections and power. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

But she had neither of them.

Thus, how could she deal with all the things?

Although she was Harry's daughter, others wouldn't give her any chance just because of that.

After all, Harry had passed away many years. His connections had vanished already.

For example, if it weren't for the sake of Julien, Chaim wouldn't agree to see her this time. It was a daydream for her to apply for a loan to solve the problem caused by the part incident. Skylight Corporation would go bankrupt. Thousands of employees would lose their jobs. She would even be in debt of hundreds of millions of dollars.

She was frightened just to think about it.

She couldn't help but tremble.

She looked up at Luke and Chaim. Then she smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe my thoughts are too idealized and naïve."

Luke refilled wine for her. "Your thoughts are not idealized or naïve. You just haven't thought that you're a novice who doesn't have the ability to solve all the difficult problems in business. Thus, you need to rely on others. Relying on others is not shameful. There is no need for you to have a

psychological burden and feel that you're inferior to Julien. He will be glad if you rely on him at every moment."

He added as he curled his lips unhappily, "Besides, will Julien feel happy or unhappy that you're reluctant to rely on him? Have you ever thought about it? I think that he will be unhappy. If I were him, I would be unhappy that my girlfriend was reluctant to ask for help from me for everything. I would think that she didn't love me and didn't care about me. Otherwise, why would she rather ask for help from others than me?"

She opened her mouth, "I haven't thought of it."

"So you have ignored Julien's feelings." Luke spread his hands. "I dislike Julien, but I can't help defending him. Obviously, you're wrong. There is another question. Have you ever thought that Julien may still feel guilty for what happened during the six years and wants to make up for you? He wants to find a chance to make up for you all the time, but you don't allow him to do anything. He doesn't have any chance to make up for you, and he will be more disturbed. You can ask for help from him frankly. If so, you can deal with your matters, and he will have the chance to make up for you."

She shook her head. "He has made up for me already. He has saved me so many times and paid me back more than I gave him."

"It's different." Luke looked at her with a deep gaze. "Julien has saved you because he loves you. He can do anything for you, including sacrificing his life. He doesn't think the fact that saving you several times is to make up for that he hurt you. They're different. I'm a man and know Julien's thoughts."

She lowered her head and muttered, "Is that so?"

She had never thought about it.

Luke nodded with certainty. "That's it. If you don't believe me, you can talk with Julien. Anyway, I say so because I hope you rely on others when it's necessary. You must rely on others to deal with some things. How many people can you rely on? Except for Cayden and me, who else can you rely on? I know you well. You're reluctant to rely on us all the time. Now that you need a backer sooner or later, why can't the backer be Julien? At least, he's your boyfriend. If you must rely on one person but don't choose Julien, what will he think? You will have an emotional crisis."
