Once a Doormat, Now Untouchable

Chapter 585

Chapter 585

Sydney was full of questions, yet no new message came

through for a long time.

She got out of bed and was about to go downstairs to tell Julian

when her phone rang again.

Her entire body tensed. When she saw the caller ID, her racing

heart gradually settled. She answered

"Hello, Mr. Clifford."

"Dr. Wilson." Jeremiah's voice carried its usual mild warmth. "

Would you like me to arrange a car to pick you up for tomorrow

evening's charity gala?"

‘The charity gala...’ Sydney froze for a beat before it registered.

The Huttons' charity gala was tomorrow night.

Over the past two days, her thoughts had been consumed by

Eliana. She had completely forgotten about it.

As soon as she remembered, hesitation surfaced.

Tomorrow morning, Ewan's analysis results would be released.

could not compare to Eliana's condition.

As for those so-called biological parents she had yet to truly

confirm, they could not compare to Eliana, who had loved and

protected her for so many years. Sydney knew very clearly which

mattered more.

She hesitated only briefly before apologizing. "Mr. Clifford,

able to attend tomorrow night. Could we find another

opportunity?”

There was a short silence on the other end before Jeremiah

asked, puzzled, "What happened? Something serious enough

that you would not even go see your biological parents?"

"There was an issue on my mentor's side." There was nothing to

hide, yet Sydney instinctively kept it vague. "So tomorrow, | really
