**Chapter 219**<\/p>\n
As Charlotte\u2019s ears registered the staggering figure once more, disbelief washed over her. It was as if both Sydney and Julian had completely lost their grip on reality.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere on earth am I supposed to conjure up six billion in cash?\u201d she exclaimed, incredulity lacing her voice.<\/p>\n
In a world where even the most affluent families of Jouleston struggled to amass such a fortune, the mere thought of giving it away freely seemed utterly ludicrous. Charlotte couldn\u2019t fathom how anyone could even entertain that idea.<\/p>\n
She scrutinized Sydney, who wore a mask of calm indifference, and a flicker of suspicion ignited within her. \u201cYou\u2019re not pulling my leg, are you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat reason would I have to lie?\u201d Sydney replied, her tone steady and unwavering.<\/p>\n
Charlotte inhaled deeply, her mind racing as she grappled with the implications of their conversation. For the first time, the concept of money loomed before her like an insurmountable barrier.<\/p>\n
Noticing the wavering uncertainty in Charlotte\u2019s gaze, Sydney leaned forward slightly. \u201cDo you still want the prescription?\u201d<\/p>\n
It was glaringly obvious that Charlotte hadn\u2019t come here seeking medical advice today.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d Charlotte affirmed, her voice barely above a whisper.<\/p>\n
Lately, her nights had been plagued by restless sleep, and whispers among other patients had reached her ears, praising Sydney\u2019s remarkable skills. Since she was already in the clinic, it made sense to take the opportunity to address her health concerns.<\/p>\n
With a few swift taps on the keyboard, Sydney printed out a prescription and handed it over. \u201cYou can pay downstairs on the first floor and pick up your medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Charlotte accepted the slip but hesitated, caught in a web of unspoken thoughts.<\/p>\n
Sydney glanced at the clock, her patience wearing thin. \u201cStill mulling over the idea of paying six billion for me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Charlotte\u2019s breath hitched in her throat. \u201cI don\u2019t have that kind of money. If it were around 500,000 dollars, I could figure something out.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen excuse me. I\u2019m off work.\u201d Sydney had never anticipated that Charlotte would produce the astronomical sum. Her goal was merely to clarify the situation, to prevent any potential complications down the line.<\/p>\n
When Charlotte remained silent, Sydney picked up her bag, signaling that she was ready to leave.<\/p>\n
Charlotte\u2019s frown deepened, and she called after her, \u201cJulian loves to play games, and you\u2019re just going to indulge him? Aren\u2019t you concerned about tarnishing your reputation?\u201d<\/p>\n
Sydney had already woven herself into the fabric of the Hampton family. To think she would betray that commitment? The rumors alone would be enough to shatter her standing, and the Hampton family would never forgive such a transgression.<\/p>\n
With a hint of a smile, Sydney continued walking, not bothering to glance back. \u201cCan a reputation put food on the table?\u201d<\/p>\n
She had never placed value on such superficial constructs. What truly mattered to her was the safety and happiness of those she held dear.<\/p>\n
Charlotte felt a chill run down her spine as she recognized the familiar dismissive tone in Sydney\u2019s voice, reminiscent of Julian\u2019s. Despite having followed Julian for three long years, she couldn\u2019t deny the undeniable truth: Sydney and Julian were cut from the same cloth, their core values intertwined.<\/p>\n
Without waiting for Charlotte\u2019s response, Sydney stepped out of the clinic in her comfortable flats, offering a few brief instructions to the nurse before exiting, her mood seemingly untouched by their exchange.<\/p>\n
Today was far too significant to be marred by trivial matters. Just as Sydney was about to leave the clinic, she unexpectedly collided with Marcus.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you headed to the research institute?\u201d he inquired, a hint of curiosity in his voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, not today,\u201d Sydney replied, shaking her head with a smile that radiated genuine joy. \u201cI\u2019m on my way to the Hamptons.\u201d<\/p>\n
Today was the day Adeline had promised to hand over her divorce certificate.<\/p>\n
After a brief exchange of pleasantries with Marcus, Sydney drove purposefully toward the estate.<\/p>\n
The Light Festival infused the Hampton home with an extraordinary vibrancy, the atmosphere buzzing with life. Lanterns adorned the courtyard, casting a warm, inviting glow that danced in the evening breeze.<\/p>\n
As soon as Sydney crossed the threshold, the raucous sounds of Timothy\u2019s antics echoed from upstairs, filling the air with a chaotic energy.<\/p>\n
Adeline\u2019s expression soured as she spotted Sydney. \u201cYou couldn\u2019t possibly wait just one more day? You had to insist on obtaining the divorce certificate on the Light Festival of all days?\u201d<\/p>\n
In her eyes, her son was exceptional in every way\u2014his background, looks, talents, and character all far surpassed the worth of a hundred Sydneys.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I can\u2019t wait,\u201d Sydney replied, her voice steady and unwavering, a resolute determination behind her words.<\/p>\n
