My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

How was this possible?

How could he fail?

Stephen couldn't accept such a result for a while.

In his opinion, men were the same. Every man would mind his woman's origins. The higher a man's status was, the more he would mind his woman's origins.

After all, Julien's status was so high, but his girlfriend was an orphan. If word got out, others would laugh at him.

And men were all vain creatures. How could he not care about this?

Looking at Stephen's trembling face, Sydney sneered, "Mr. Dayton doesn't seem to believe your words."

She gently poked Julien's lean waist.

His eyes darkened. He gripped her naughty fingers. "Stop it."

Men's waists were sensitive, so they could not be touched casually.

This was dangerous.

Looking at Julien's dark eyes, Sydney realized why Julien had told her to stop. She flushed, pulled her fingers back, and turned her head away as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that she played dumb after teasing him like a jerk, Julien was annoyed and amused. "I'll settle scores with you later."

He leaned down to whisper in her ear and then looked coldly at Stephen. "I can only say that you don't know me well, Mr. Dayton. Not all men are what you think they are. You are this kind of person. It doesn't mean that others are the same."

The implication was that Stephen was the one who cared most about women's origins.

Stephen understood. He was embarrassed, but he could not admit it. He could only maintain his fake smile. "Mr. Flint, you must be joking. I didn't mean that. I'm Sydney's elder. How can I possibly have these ideas? I hope you two will be happy together forever."

Sydney and Julien had spoken so bluntly, which could be considered a showdown.

But Stephen was still unwilling to admit it, and he was talking nonsense. Sydney rolled her eyes, feeling Stephen was really shameless.

After all, few people could be as thick-skinned as Stephen.

"You hope we will be happy together forever?" Julien opened his thin lips and gently repeated these words, his tone playful.

Stephen nodded his head. "Of course, I just feel sorry for Sydney. I have no intention of discouraging her and dividing you two. Mr. Flint, believe me. If I had these ideas, I would have taken action already. Why have I waited until now? I really just feel sad for Sydney. She was abandoned by her biological parents when she was a baby. After Sydney was adopted, her adoptive mother suddenly got sick and then died when Sydney was one. She had a stepmother when she was five. Sydney's stepmother was bad to her, and her adoptive father was not as good to her as before."

While speaking, Stephen looked at Sydney again as if he did not see Sydney's gloomy and angry eyes. He put on a look of pity for her and continued, "Although Harry was not bad to her, he cared less about Sydney than in the very beginning, so I think maybe because of the lack of fatherly love since her childhood, Sydney was always surrounded by many men, such as the son of the Chase family, that model, and the man surnamed Lowe. She probably tried to get love from them. I said all this just to tell you Sydney needs love very much, so there were always so many men around her. Mr. Flint, you have to take good care of Sydney. Don't blame her. It is all in the past. Sydney is so pitiful."

Stephen felt he had made it obvious that Sydney was a bitch surrounded by many men. He believed that Julien would mind it.

If not, Stephen would wonder if Julien was a man.

Stephen was shrewd.

The first step was to emphasize that Sydney's adoptive mother had died of illness when Sydney was one, which hinted that Sydney was a jinx.

After all, before she was adopted, her adoptive mother had been fine.

Then, he made a rumor that her father didn't care much about her, so she grew up without enough love and became a slut who couldn't live without men. Stephen wanted Julien to feel upset about it. If one trick didn't work, there would be another trick.

The last plan failed, and he made a new one just to destroy the relationship between Sydney and Julien.

Although Sydney knew that she and Luke were just friends, at this moment, she was worried that Julien would think a lot and mind it.

So Sydney glared at Stephen with red eyes. Under Stephen's smug gaze, she hurried to look at Julien next to her.

"Julien..."

Just as Sydney opened her mouth, wanting to say something, Julien suddenly let out a low laugh.

This laugh made Sydney nervous and anxious. "Julien..."

She called him again, her voice full of apprehension.

Realizing that she was starting to panic, Stephen couldn't hide the excitement on his face.

His scheme worked.

He had finally succeeded in weakening Julien's feelings for Sydney.

As long as Julien didn't care so much about Sydney, he wouldn't marry her.

If Stephen had known this would work, he would have said this in the beginning.

Stephen was regretful.

But soon, his regret disappeared.

He had succeeded anyway. Although he had taken a little detour, the result was what he wanted, and that was enough.

Looking at Sydney, who was looking at Julien with nervousness and anxiety, Stephen sneered gleefully and planned to say something else to add fuel to the fire and break them up right here. Julien lifted Sydney's face, but he looked at Stephen and coolly curled his lips. "Who said I would blame her?"

Sydney froze.

Stephen was also stunned. His smug expression turned stiff, as comical as it could be.

"Mr. Flint, what do you mean by that?" His voice trembled, and uneasiness floated in his heart.

Stephen thought, 'He doesn't blame Sydney?

'Could it really be what I thought?

'He doesn't blame her even in this situation. Is Julien a man?

'Is there anyone who likes to be a cuckold these days?'

"My meaning is clear, isn't it?" Julien rubbed his thumb over Sydney's lips gently. "It's true that she was surrounded by a few men before, but why should I blame her? At that time, we weren't together, were we? Have you seen those guys around her again since we got together?"

Stephen was dumbfounded.

He hadn't seen those men show up at Skylight for a long time.

"But even so, that doesn't mean they are not around Sydney. Maybe it's just that I haven't seen them together," Stephen said through clenched teeth.

No matter what, he must give their relationship a great blow today.

Otherwise, he would be in trouble.

"Huh." Sydney grabbed Julien's wrist, took his hand away from her chin, stared at Stephen, and said in a frosty voice, "Mr. Dayton, you want to bring me down so badly. You kept saying you felt sorry for me, but you've been plotting against me. You just can't bear to see me happy. I don't dare to be close to you, or I'll suffer."
