Sydnee had never expected to meet Marquise again, let alone in such a situation. Marquise, as a big client, was sitting in the main seat, with several person-in-charge sitting in groups of two or three by his side.
The first batch of the Lotus Tea Manor tea was considered to be a bad bargain. The growth of the tea leaves was not very well. Sydnee needed to find buyers in advance. Lynn was in charge of contacting the buyers. Later, the tea market sent a message saying that there was someone from another city who wanted to buy tea, regardless of whether it was good or bad. Therefore, Sydnee brought Lynn along with her. Unexpectedly, as soon as she sat down in the private room, she saw Marquise, who was in the main seat.
It was an awkward moment.
She even made a comparison and felt that it was better to encounter Eliot.
The Buckley’s was a big family, so it was not difficult for them to change their business into some tea business. However, Sydnee did not expect that the two of them would actually meet again. It was unknown whether it was a bad fate or a bad fate.
Out of courtesy, she did not turn hostile and leave. Instead, she sat down and quietly listened to Lynn introducing the tea of Tea Manor, including the historical culture of it, as well as the daily precautions are taken care of the tea trees by the workers.
Regardless of whether Marquise chose to buy it or not, she decided not to sell it to him.
Several people in charge were still discussing, yet Marquise did not say a word. He just looked at Sydnee through the table. The two of them had not seen each other for half a year. Marquise had not changed much, at least he looked decent.
Sydnee, on the other hand, had changed quite a lot. In the past few months, she had been outside every day. Although her skin was not as dark as Lynn’s, it had really become a bit tanned. She was already not completely fair anymore.
But the healthy wheat color made her seem very energetic. Her face was brimming with confidence and steadiness. Ever since she met Emily, with the things she had come through, everything made her more mature. Up until now, the moment she didn’t see Marquise and leave in front of others was enough to reflect her growth.
Lynn went to the bathroom, and those people in charge also left for the loo.
When she recovered from her daze, only Sydnee and Marquise were left in the private room.
When she looked up, she saw Marquise smiling at her, “I thought you were not going to look at me.”
“I’m sorry, but there might be no need to continue. We can’t cooperate anyway,” Sydnee said in a business-like tone.
“Why?” Marquise looked at her and asked, “You think I won’t cooperate with you?”
“No, I don’t want to cooperate with you,” Sydnee corrected.
Lynn felt strange on the way to the bathroom, so she sent a message to her cousin, Eliot, “I don’t know why, but Sydnee was a little abnormal today, and she did not say a word.”
Eliot knew that they left the city to meet clients today. He was a little worried at first, but with Lynn along the way and the fact the two of them chose a hotel that was very close to the police station, and he feel a little relieved. Once there was a problem, they could immediately call the police.
Reading Lynn’s text message, Eliot immediately called back, “What is the name of the person in charge of the buyer?”
“There are three people in charge, and one seems to be the boss. The name card is Mr. Buckley, Marquise Buckley…”
“I know him. Don’t let that person get close to Sydnee.” Lynn wanted to continue reciting, but Lynn interrupted her.
“What’s wrong, Eliot? Is him … a bad guy?” Lynn asked in confusion and panic.
“A difficult person to deal with.” “They might pester Sydnee. Think of a way not to let two of them be alone.” Eliot frowned.
Lynn held the phone in shock, “Gosh, then I have to go back quickly. I just came out to the bathroom, and he might have sent the rest away.”
“Send me the location. I’ll drive there.” Eliot hung up.
Lynn thought about it and sent him the location, then quickly ran back to the private room.
Just as she pushed open the door, she saw Marquise grabbing Sydnee’s wrist. Sydnee frowned and said, “Let go of it!”
Lynn’s blood was boiling. She immediately rushed over and pushed him away. She used to do the labor, and this push was extremely fierce. Marquise was directly pushed over by her and staggered, falling onto the wall. He even brought down two chairs.
Sydnee was stunned.
Lynn stood in front of Sydnee and said to Marquise, “What are you doing to my sister-in-law?”
Sydnee was confused.
“You’re married?” Marquise turned to Sydnee.
“Yes.” Sydnee swallowed her “no” and nodded.
“Your sister-in-law? Your surname is Britt? Is Eliot Britt your brother?” Marquise looked at Lynn abruptly.
“Yes!” Lynn crossed her arms and shouted at him in an imposing manner, “If my brother finds out that you bullied her, he will definitely teach you a lesson!”
Marquise got up from his chair, patted his suit, and said to Sydnee, “Don’t lie to me. If you are married, why don’t you even wear a ring? Or are you saying that in the name of marriage, you are actually checking out the customers. If you meet good ones, you’ll keep them. If you meet bad ones, you send them away?”
Sydnee was so furious that her entire body trembled.
“Be respectful when you speak!” Lynn was also extremely irritated.
“Sydnee, don’t do this with me. I thought that you were together and I was annoyed. Later, I thought about it and you were not that kind of person, even though… He and you have been together before. You won’t like the way he look now. You don’t know that, right? He is not the biological son of Maury Britt. He is the illegitimate son of his mother with another man. He was driven out of the Britt Family. I heard that he is a cripple now … It is impossible for you to be with that kind of person…”
Before Marquise could finish his sentence, Sydnee said indifferently, “How is that impossible? Let me tell you, even if Eliot is crippled, many people would still want to marry him. Even if I want to marry him, he has to consider whether or not to marry me! Unlike you, you are just a villain who hides behind others and speaks ill of others!”
“Why would you rather marry a cripple than me?” Marquise outragedly stood in front of her, “Which part of me is worse than him? He doesn’t have my money! He is not as healthy as me! And he does not love you as much as I do!”
“He treats me well.” Sydnee’s mood strangely calmed down. Her mind couldn’t help but recall what she had experienced with Eliot. It was as if she had been hiding it in her heart for a long time. “Staying with him gives me a sense of security. Even if he is crippled, he is perfect in my heart.”
The person in charge outside also rushed over when he heard the sound. Sydnee picked up her bag and dragged Lynn away. The person in charge behind her was still shouting, “Miss Emily? Miss Sydnee? What … what happened?”
Marquise roared, “Get out, get out of here!”
It took more than three hours to drive to City Y. Sydnee was a little tired from driving over today. She and Lynn booked a room in the hotel and stayed there. In the evening, they went to the Tea Market to see which tea is the most popular, so that they could do some research.
Lynn had been sending messages all the way. Sydnee had asked her what she was doing several times, but she had always been secretive and said that she hadn’t done anything. Sydnee suddenly misunderstood. “Did you secretly fall in love?”
“No,” Lynn breathed a sigh of relief.
This reaction of hers made Sydnee very curious. “Why do you seem to feel relieved?”
