Chapter 313 Sharon's Persuasion
Cayden's eyes suddenly widened. "You..."
"Looks like I hit the nail on the head. You really are Young Master." Sharon grinned.
Cayden's expression was ferocious, no longer having any trace of the gentleness from before. "You were testing me?"
"Yeah." Sharon waved her finger. "I've always suspected that you were the Old Master’s son and that you knew as well. However, I had no evidence to confirm it, so I deliberately said those words to see your reaction. I didn't expect to win the bet. When I said the Old Master's name, the hatred in your eyes told me that you have a memory of leaving the Bennet family back then, right?"
Otherwise, why would he be so resistant to
letting her find out that he was the Old Master's son?
There was only one answer: He had memories of his childhood and did not want to go back.
Cayden pursed his lips tightly and did not speak. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Sharon sighed. "If you don't say anything, that's a silent agreement. However, I still want your hair to have it sent to Jackal City for a DNA test."
She was already sure that the man in front of her was the Young Master.
However, for the sake of insurance, it was better to do an appraisal.
At that thought, Sharon reached out to Cayden's head.
Cayden’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness
and suddenly attacked.
Sharon's eyes darkened as she quickly defended.
The two of them started fighting in the corridor.
Although Cayden was a tall and burly man who studied MMA and taekwondo, he had no chance of winning against Sharon.
That was because Sharon started training from an early age and had learned all forms of killing methods. In just a few moves, she grabbed Cayden and pinned his hands behind his back, pressing him to the wall.
Looking at Cayden's struggle with a look of anger and dissatisfaction, Sharon patted his face. "Little boy, I was already killing people when you were still in school. How could you beat me? Now then, I'll be taking some of your hair."
With that, she pulled her hand from his face and plucked a few strands of his hair.
Layden grunted in pain and glared at Sharon.
Sharon released him fearlessly. "Done. I finally got your hair."
"I won't let you get away with this," Layden clenched his fists and said in a cold and ruthless voice.
Sharon grinned. "Sure, I'll wait. If you go back to the Bennet family and retaliate against me as the Young Master, I promise that I won't fight back, okay?"
"I don’t need the identity of Caybel Bennet to deal with you," Layden straightened his messy clothes and replied.
He could not beat her by force.
However, in terms of intellect, he did not believe that she could win.
Sharon’s expression became serious. "Fine, I'll stop messing around with you. I'm telling you now, you have to go back to the Bennet family. Yesterday, my father told me that Fourth Young Master's men had already arrived in Port City. It's clear that he knows you're in Port City, so it won't be long until he finds you. When that time comes, the people around you will be implicated as well."
After saying that, she looked at Cayden. " You have your childhood memories, so you should know what kind of person Fourth Young Master is. He’ll do anything to take over the Bennet family, and the first thing he needs to do is to get rid of you, the rightful heir. If he can't deal with you, he'll strike the person you value the most first and make you suffer for the rest of your life. The person you value the most is President Raines, right? Are you willing to let her be targeted by Fourth Young Master?
Cayden's expression was gloomy and kept changing.
Of course, he did not want Sydney to be targeted.
He would not let anyone harm Sydney!
Sharon saw through Cayden's thoughts and smiled in relief. "I know you hate the Old Master, but for President Raines' sake, and for your mother's sake, you have to go back. Don't forget that your mother is the Old Master's wife, and you’re the legitimate son of the Old Master. Why should the Bennet family be handed over to an illegitimate child? Think about it." She picked up the papers on the ground, patted them, and went to the president's office.
She was already on this floor, but she was in Sophie's office discussing work matters with her. After the discussion, she was ready to hand the documents to Sydney for her signature.
Unexpectedly, she saw Layden when coming out of Sydney's office. She had been delayed for a long time talking to Layden, so Sydney must be tired of waiting for her.
Layden looked at Sharon's back and clenched his fists tightly. Her voice saying, "for President Raines and for your mother" kept repeating in his head.
Should he really go back to the Bennet family?
The next day, Sydney went to Flint Corporation.
In the morning, she was informed that she had to go to Flint Corporation for a meeting to discuss the trial period for the new energy.
Now that the new energy technology was almost perfected, it was time to move on to trials.
If the trial was a success, the new energy technology could be officially used in all major factories. Thus, this meeting was crucial and could not be missed.
Sydney parked her car and walked to the elevator in the parking lot.
Fortunately, the elevator just so happened to stop at Bl, and the doors immediately opened when Sydney pressed the button.
She went in and was just about to close the doors when an urgent voice came from outside. "Please wait."
Sydney subconsciously blocked the door.
The doors opened again.
The next second, Zach came in from outside and smiled at her. "Thank you, Ms.
Raines."
Sydney was a little surprised to see that it was him.
However, she soon regained her calm.
It was normal to see Julien's personal assistant here. After all, this place was Julien’s territory.
"You're welcome." Sydney nodded in response.
Zach held the open button and looked outward twice as if he was waiting for someone.
Sydney pursed her red lips.
She already guessed who he was waiting for.
There was only one person in Flint Corporation who could make him wait. That person was his immediate boss, Julien Flint.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, Julien appeared.
He stood outside the elevator, and his eyes flashed when he saw Sydney. Then, he stepped in with his long legs. "Good morning."
Sydney took a step to the side, distancing herself from him. "Morning.”
Julien could not help but frown at the way she avoided him. "Don't you think it's such a coincidence?”
"What?" Sydney looked at him in confusion.
Julien looked at the elevator door. "Every time there's a meeting for the new energy project, we always meet in the elevator."
Sydney's eyes widened.
That was true!
Zach, who pretended to be invisible in the corner, could not help but roll his eyes.
'Coincidence, my *ss!
'The past two times might be coincidental, but President Flint clearly planned it this time. He knew that Ms. Raines was coming for the meeting, so he sat in the car and waited until she arrived to pretend to have a chance encounter at the elevator.
'Hah. It's all a play!' "Today is the day of Lyra's court hearing, right?" Julien turned to look at Sydney and suddenly asked.
Sydney hummed and nodded. "Yeah."
She was not surprised that Julien knew about the court hearing.
After all, the date had already been revealed online.
"Congratulations. You can finally bring her to justice.”
Sydney rolled her eyes. "If you hadn't protected her before, I would've brought her to justice long ago."
Julien froze and lowered his head. "I'm sorry."
Although it was not his intention before, it was true. "Forget it. It's all in the past, and you've helped me a lot, so I won't get hung up about what you did. You don't have to apologize.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the elevator dinged and opened after reaching the floor.
Sydney did not move and let Julien go out first.
After all, Julien held a high rank here.
He also understood this and went out first, and Sydney finally lifted her feet to go out as well.
After going out, she realized that Julien did not leave but instead stood outside waiting for her.
"No matter what, you have to believe me. Everything I did for Lyra before was not out
of my own will." Julien looked at her with a complicated gaze.
