Chapter 78 - Cry

What was Sydnee doing then?

After hanging up the phone, Sydnee still couldn't react for a long time. Howard tried to talk to her, but she didn't answer. Howard sighed and walked out. Jaquan patted Sydnee's shoulder and asked, "Overjoyed?"

Sydnee said blankly, "Yeah..."

Jaquan rubbed his temples and said, "Alright. I'll go for a sleep. I drank too much last night and was busy all morning. My head hurts a little."

"You go and rest." Sydnee said dully. She had just finished talking to Emma, but now she was still standing in the courtyard. She then casually pointed at a room and said to Jaquan, "You can sleep there."

Jaquan vaguely remembered that the little boy seemed to be running towards this room at that time, but he could not remember clearly after drinking. He didn't think much of it, just took off his coat and shoes and pounced on the bed. He caught a whiff of sweet smell. He sniffed, and the fragrance made him smile.

After Sydnee finished explaining the matters of the Tea Manor, she immediately drove back to the city. Sydnee’s grandfather, Conrad had just returned from the drugstore. Looking at her dusty appearance, he frowned and asked, "What have you been busy with these days?"

Sydnee had been seeing Emily, but the family did not know about it. So, she couldn't mention the Tea Manor. People working at the Tea Manor was also reliable to keep secrets. As long as the family didn't come here, the thing won't come to light.

The Dickerson family had been dependent on medicinal herbs for generations. They didn't have power or status, only a century-old brand. The Dickerson family was a large family with hundreds of people. They all relied on the chain pharmacies to support themselves. They were not rich.

The Dickerson family didn't care about money, and even treated money as dirt. Sydnee did not dare to tell Conrad that she was dealing with dirt recently. She could only fudge the answer, "I'm busy with the exam."

Conrad stroked his beard and asked, "What is the exam this time?"

Sydnee waffled, "Modern History."

"Alright, I know." Conrad didn't say anything more. He only warned, "It's turning cold. Put on more clothes. Don't get cold. Also, drink a bowl of decoction."

"Alright." Sydnee hugged Conrad and said, "Grandpa, you must keep healthy."

"What are you talking about..." Conrad laughed, "Hurry up and go."

Sydnee smiled and went up. She found her ID card and hurried downstairs. Conrad was still there and they said goodbye to each other. After Sydnee left for more than half an hour, Conrad suddenly remembered, "Didn't this girl finish her Modern History exam in her freshman year?"

Sydnee was very efficient. On the same day, she found the largest intermediary company to choose house. She wanted a large apartment with the best scenery. And it should be in the center of the city. Sydnee asked for the price and told Emily. She also sent Emily a picture. Emily only replied, "You decide."

Sydnee raised her head and said, "I've decided. That's it."

The agent said happily, "Really? We support payment by installments. We also have cooperation with the bank to get a better price for you..."

Sydnee interrupted him, "I want to pay in full."

The agent's heart missed a beat, "As you want, Miss Sydnee."

"Wait a moment." Sydnee stopped him.

The agent was worried that she would suddenly go back on her word, and he asked pitifully, "What's wrong?"

Sydnee pointed through the window and said, "I also want that apartment on the top floor of the building next door."

The agent looked in that direction and he felt he was sank in the deep water that he couldn't breathe. He said hoarsely, "Miss Sydnee, please wait a moment. I'll be right back."

Sydnee said, " I'll be waiting."

She then texted a message to Emily, "It's good to be rich."

Harold followed behind Elsie and saw that she took a taxi to a building. It turned out that she had secretly inquired about Christy's company. Today, she actually came here to inspect.

Harold saw that Elsie had entered the company. There were too many security cameras at the entrance, so he didn't dare to follow her. He only photographed the building and the main entrance. Half an hour later, Elsie came in, followed by Christy, who was wearing famous brands all over.

Elsie said embarrassedly, "Sorry, I was afraid to disturb you, so I just come alone."

Christy smiled, "Not a big deal. I'm at the company today. What a coincidence! You don't usually see me."

Elsie asked carefully, "I remembered that your brother is in charge of the company. Why are you here?"

Christy hesitated and said, "Actually, I am also in charge of some company affairs. But I'm not as capable as my brother. I can only make three to five million for him. So, he asks me not to come over."

Elsie's eyes widened when she heard that number. After Christy finished speaking, Elsie covered her mouth and said, "You are so capable already!"

Christy seemed accustomed to such compliments, "I'm not half as capable as my brother."

Elsie grabbed Christy and asked, "Christy, how about this? I can invest in the things you make! This doesn't count as investing in your brother, so he's not in charge of this, right?"

Christy was stunned for a moment, "That's true. But you could lose money on my stuff, too..."

"Don't worry, I believe you!" Elsie held her hand and said, "It definitely won't lose money!"

Christy smiled significantly, "That's for sure."

After Elsie took a taxi back, Harold went to the bank and transferred three million to Sydnee. On the way back, he went to the bookstore to buy stock and finance books according to what Emily had asked. Before leaving, Harold saw a row of Van Gogh's picture books. He then bought all of them.

It was night.

After taking a bath, Emily was sitting at the table and viewing the development history of the Britt Group. The Britt family was doing the chain-supermarket business. This boycott of Japanese goods had hurt the business of many supermarkets, including theirs. Fortunately, the Britt family had contracted for site construction. However, Emily did not know much about construction, so she could only learn from the start.

Until this morning, she had been thinking about how to give the money to Eliot to help him bring the company back. She suddenly remembered that in her previous life, Eliot had been hospitalized, her father had died, and she was the only one left in the family. That sense of helplessness had destroyed her.

When the Britt Group collapsed, Elsie killed Emily with a dagger. Even if Emily closed her eyes these few days, she would saw that blood scene in her head.

In this life, she couldn't let that happen again. Even if nothing happened to her father and Eliot now, she had to learn how to run the company and control everything in the future. In this life, she would never experience that pain again!

"Are you crying?" The sudden voice startled Emily. She raised her eyes and saw a man standing at the balcony entrance.. She quickly turned off the lights and waited for her eyes to adapt to the darkness. She asked, "Why are you here?"
