My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit novel Chapter 610

Madeline lashed out for a while, but the staff from the property management company did not come back, instead some passers-by cast glances at her and whispered to each other.

Madeline felt humiliated. She hurriedly got up from the ground, grabbed her suitcase, and headed for the parking lot with her head down.

Getting into her car, Madeline took out her cell phone and called Sydney. Her face twisted with anger.

Sydney was at her apartment in Shallow Bay. She had just come out of the shower and was about to blow dry her hair.

Just as Sydney got to the blow dryer, her phone rang.

Sydney thought it was Julien telling her that he had arrived home. She hurriedly put down the hair dryer and went to her bed to answer the phone.

However, it turned out not to be Julien but was an unfamiliar number. Sydney's bright eyes immediately dimmed.

It's not Julien.'

Sydney pursed her lips and answered the phone," Hello, Sydney is speaking."

"Sydney, how could you let the staff from the property management company kick me out of the villa?" A woman's harsh voice came through the phone. The woman's tone was full of rage and resentment and sounded threatening.

Sydney furrowed her brows and replied indifferently," I was wondering who it was. Madeline, are you calling to blame me? I'm telling you clearly that you have the wrong person. The villa is mine, and of course I have the right to throw you out. I can even call the police and sue you for trespassing."

"You..." Madeline was choked. Her face was pale and had a complicated look on it. It looked very funny.

After a moment, Madeline took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and threatened in a somber voice, "Very well, Sydney. Remember I won't let you go for what you did tonight! One day I'm going to make you regret it!"

After that, Madeline hung up the phone bluntly because she knew she couldn't argue with Sydney and that she was the one who was in the wrong. If she continued to talk to Sydney, she would be humiliated by Sydney, so she better hang up the phone.

Looking at the hung-up phone, Sydney had a sneer.

'She's going to make me regret it one day? OK, then I'll wait to see who will regret it in the end!'

Just after Sydney dropped the phone back onto the nightstand, her phone screen lit up again.

A message popped up on the screen. It was from Julien.

Immediately, Sydney's eyes sparkled with joy. She hurriedly picked up her phone and checked the message, "Are you asleep?"

Sydney replied, "Not yet. Are you home?"

On the other end of the line, Julien was sitting on the couch, loosening his tie. Just after he had loosened his tie, he felt the phone buzz on his lap.

He hurriedly looked down at his phone. It was a message from Sydney.

Julien curled up the corners of his lips slightly, picked up the phone with his right hand and replied, "Yes, I'm home."

Sydney sat down on the edge of her bed and texted,' Good. It's late. Take a shower and go to bed. Don't stay up too late."

Looking at Sydney's caring words, Julien's eyes became soft. He replied, "Okay, you too. Good night.'

Sydney had a smile on the corners of her lips. "Good night."

Putting down his phone, Julien got up and headed to the study.

Sydney took a sip of the water to moisten her throat and replied, "The shares I gave her were from the eleven percent that I inherited from my dad, not the ones you and Grandpa purchased for me. Dad didn't leave a will to divide his estate before he died, so Madeline and I had to split the shares he left. Even if I don't give them to her, if Madeline sues me in the court, the court will reach a verdict for me to split the shares with her. And when she came back to the country, she intended to take the shares and Skylight. If it wasn't you and my grandfather who had purchased the shares for me, Madeline would have taken half of my shares yesterday."

After hearing Sydney's words, Luke calmed down. But he still felt indignant, "She doesn’t deserve that."

Sydney had a wry smile, "Well, she's Dad's daughter too."

"What about the position?" Luke frowned, "How important is the position of vice president! Why did you give her that position? She doesn't know anything about business, and she's a very ambitious woman. By giving her that position, you could get yourself into trouble if she's up to something."

"Don't worry, Luke. I've considered all that. You know Madeline is a very ambitious woman. If I just gave her a random position, she wouldn't take it. She'd make a scene in the office, which will jeopardise our company image, so I gave her a high position, but she wouldn't have any executive powers or access to any of the company's confidential information. Keeping her close to me makes me feel at ease. If she’s up to something, I will learn about it right away." Sydney explained.

Luke nodded, "All right. You have a point."

"By the way, Luke, how did you know that Madeline became the vice president of Skylight?" Sydney inquired curiously.

She didn't announce the decision to the public or didn't tell anyone other than Julien.

So, Sydney was wondering how Luke knew about it.

On the other end of the phone, Luke was sitting in his office. Looking at his computer, he answered, "I saw the news on the Internet." "The news?" Sydney's face darkened.

Luke responded, "Yes. When I turned on my computer this morning, I saw the news about Skylight's new vice president. I read the news. It was a personal interview with Madeline. Then I learned that Madeline had come back and had become vice president of Skylight, so I was calling you for confirmation."

"So that’s it." Sydney nodded.

Luke continued, "I think Sydney approached the media herself to have that interview. She wants everyone to know about it, so her position will be more solid. She wants everyone to know that Skylight isn't just yours, but she also has shares in it too."
