My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 1076 Mr. McDaniel's Scheme

"What do you mean?" Sydney instinctively sat up straight.

'His talk with Mr. McDaniel was unpleasant?

'How could it be?'

It was known to all that Julien was the student Mr. McDaniel was most proud of, and Julien always respected his teacher.

She couldn't imagine an unpleasant talk between them.

But Luke's words gave her a clue.

"Was it because of me?" Sydney asked, looking at him.

Julien remained silent.

"I see." Sydney curled her lips, her mood unknown.

Her reaction was quite indifferent.

After all, Mr. McDaniel was not her teacher or family.

So, whether he liked her or not, she didn't care.

"What did you guys say?" Although Sydney didn't care about what Mr. McDaniel thought of her, she wanted to know what caused their dispute.

Julien frowned slightly, unwilling to talk about it.

Luke rolled his eyes. "Come on, man. What's the big deal? It's related to Syd, and she deserves to know. How did she offend your teacher?"

Sydney remained noncommittal.

Seeing Sydney's curiosity, Julien finally recounted the conversation he had with Mr. McDaniel that morning.

He didn't provide all the details, and he even softened some of the wording, fearing that it might make her upset.

Mr. McDaniel's description of her was indeed unfriendly.

Although Julien had good intentions, the sudden changes in the phrasing and words sound somewhat awkward.

Sydney immediately figured that he had concealed a lot of things.

As for what he hid, she could tell it from the guilty expression on his face. It should be some unpleasant words said by Mr. McDaniel.

Sydney's lips curved into a mocking smile, "It's really hard for someone like Mr. McDaniel, such a prominent figure, to pay attention to a small potato like me. Not only did he pay attention, but he also took the trouble to understand me, knowing that I am not worthy of you. He must have done a lot of investigations."

Listening to her self-deprecating words, Julien became unhappy. He reached out and held her face, making her look at him. "Don't say that. Between you and me, there has never been a question of worthiness. In my heart, we are equals. I made it clear to my teacher as well, so you don't have to care about what he said, because I will never take it seriously."

"Heh, who knows if what you're saying is true or false?" Luke sneered.

Julien looked at him with icy eyes, giving him a sense of imminent danger, as if he would kill him if he said another word.

Luke sensed the killing intent from Julien's eyes and realized that his words had angered the man. He immediately cowered and fell silent.

Only then did Julien look away from him.

In consideration of Sydney and Luke's parents, Julien could tolerate his repeated provocations.

But he couldn't tolerate Luke's attempts to sow discord between him and Sydney.

Therefore, Luke should consider himself lucky that he had told a joke with no ill intentions.

Otherwise, he would definitely be taught a lesson.

Sydney noticed the murderous intent Julien had toward Luke just now.

She also understood why Julien behaved that way.

She sighed helplessly, shook her head at Luke, and silently warned him not to tease Julien anymore.

She could understand why Julien was so angry.

No one could accept having someone constantly contradicting them, especially when they were expressing their true feelings to their partners.

Julien's anger was reasonable.

In his shoes, she would be angry too.

Luke received Sydney's warning and silently made a zipping motion across his lips, indicating that he wouldn't speak anymore.

Sydney shifted her gaze back to Julien and said, "Don't be mad. That's just how Luke is. You know that."

Julien pursed his lips and said softly, "I don't care about what others think, but do you also doubt that I haven't told my teacher these things?" Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"Of course not," Sydney said, looking seriously at him. "You wouldn't lie to me about something like this, so I didn't doubt you. It was just something Luke said."

Julien's brows were unknitted. "That's good. I really did tell my teacher, and I even had him removed from the Flint Corporation. Rest assured, no one can separate us."

He was resolute.

As he spoke, there seemed to be a crimson light flashing in his eyes.

Sydney knew that Erin's actions and the things Mr. McDaniel said to him had truly angered him.

That was why he made such assurances while revealing deep hatred.

It made sense, as no one could tolerate people around them constantly scheming to break them up with their partners or debasing their partners.

She couldn't accept it either.

"Julien." Luke suddenly broke his silence.

Julien looked at him coldly. "What else do you want to say? If you're going to say something nonsensical again, don't bother."

Luke shrugged. "No. I just wanted to say, your teacher has been advising you to break up with Syd and has been belittling her. Have you ever thought about who your teacher thinks is worthy of you?"

Sydney raised an eyebrow.

Julien's brows furrowed once again.

"No," he replied truthfully.

He hadn't really thought about this question.

He had been preoccupied with debating with his teacher.

He hadn't had time to think about it.

He was not interested in it.

"It's Miss McDaniel, right?" Sydney suddenly spoke.

Julien looked at her.

Sydney met his gaze and continued with a smile, "He wants to introduce his granddaughter to you, hoping that you two will be together."

"That's right." Luke snapped his fingers, saying, "I feel the same way. Mr. McDaniel belittled Syd, saying that she's not worthy of you, and wants you to break up with her. So, after the breakup, who does he hope to be with you? His granddaughter. She likes you. don't believe that as a grandfather, he doesn't know about it. Even his son knows. Considering his fondness and protection of his granddaughter, he will grant her every wish. He wouldn't introduce other women to you and break

her heart, would he? Moreover, if you're with his granddaughter, not only can you make her happy, but you can also elevate the McDaniel family to a higher level. It's the best of both worlds, so I don't believe he doesn't care."

Julien fell silent and lowered his eyes to contemplate.
