Chapter 517\u00a0<\/p>\n
Penelope wasn\u2019t sure if she was imagining it, but she thought she heard something cold-almost murderous- in Megan\u2019s tone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Megan wanted to go after Sydney.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A chill crept down Penelope\u2019s spine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When the pampered Hutton heiress turned ruthless, she was every bit as terrifying as Penelope herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Sydney, what on earth did you do to offend her so badly?\u2019 Still, the thought brought a cruel little smile to Penelope\u2019s lips. She only hoped Megan wouldn\u2019t disappoint her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For once, Tiffany had a weekend off and was determined to sleep until noon and catch up on all the rest she\u2019d missed from endless overtime.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then the doorbell rang.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Half-asleep, she groaned and pulled the blanket over her head. Sydney wasn\u2019t home-she had moved into Delta Mansion-and besides, she had fingerprint access now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tiffany figured it was a courier and ignored it. They would just leave the parcel at the door anyway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the doorbell stopped only for a second before starting again. The ringing was relentless and grating.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho the hell\u2026\u201d She shot upright, flung off the blanket, shoved her feet into slippers, and stomped to the door in fury.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she yanked it open, the sight outside made her blink herself fully awake. Fortunately, she\u2019d thrown on her trench coat. Otherwise, she\u2019d have opened the door in pajamas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Caleb stood there, tall and composed, though a flicker of apology softened his expression. \u201cSorry. I didn\u2019t mean to wake you. Sydney isn\u2019t home?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had rung the bell assuming Sydney would already be up. Her schedule was always regular, and she was never a late sleeper. He hadn\u2019t expected Tiffany to answer instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Still, if Tiffany was here, at least it meant Sydney wasn\u2019t still living with Julian.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tiffany, grumpy and bleary-eyed, scowled. \u201cYeah. She\u2019s not.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you know where she went?\u201d Caleb asked. \u201cShe\u2019s not listed on the clinic\u2019s appointment schedule today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The clinic\u2019s online system made it easy to check doctors\u2019 hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tiffany hesitated, rubbing her messy hair. \u201cNot sure. Why don\u2019t you just call her and ask?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She could tell that things between Sydney and Caleb had eased lately. Nonetheless, Sydney moving in with Julian wasn\u2019t something she should mention.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright.\u201d Caleb nodded and left quietly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back home, Caleb waited until nearly noon before finally dialing Sydney\u2019s number.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that moment, Sydney was out in the garden watering the flowers. Her phone was in the living room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the sofa, Elliot was peeling an orange when the ringtone went off. He stood to bring it to her but paused when he saw the caller ID.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Peter looked up. \u201cWhat\u2019re you waiting for? Take it to her!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sydney was a doctor. What if it was urgent-maybe a patient\u2019s call?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elliot handed him the phone instead. \u201cWhy don\u2019t you take it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFine, I\u2019ll go.\u201d Peter didn\u2019t think much of it. He snatched the phone and started toward the backyard, only to freeze a few steps later when Elliot\u2019s voice rang out behind him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Sterling! The ex-husband\u2019s calling Ms. Wilson! Peter\u2019s taking the phone to her right now!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Peter whipped around and finally glanced at the caller ID. It was Caleb.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Great. Could I be any more screwed? Seriously, corporate life is a minefield,\u2019 Peter groaned inwardly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he looked up again, Julian was standing there with an unreadable expression and a faint, humorless smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He crooked a finger. \u201cHand over the phone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
