Chapter 90 It Has Something to Do With Lyra
Julien pressed his shoulder. "I''m fine."
"Are you really fine?" Jayden was still worried.
Julien hummed. "Yeah."
"That''s good." Jayden sighed in relief and then asked Sydney, "What about you?"
"I''m fine too." Sydney shook her head.
She was protected well by Julien and did not get hurt at all.
After confirming that they were both fine, Jayden turned around and looked at the Kingthene team
on the court with red eyes. "Those b*stards. They used this sort of tactic just because they can''t
beat me. I''ll teach them a lesson!"
He went back to the court with his fists clenched, about to pick a fight with the yers of the
Kingthene team.
However, he was pulled back by his teammates.
After all, if a real fight broke out, both sides would be disqualified from the game.
"Are you really okay?" Sydney heard Julien''s muffled grunt earlier. Unlike Jayden, she did not
believe that he was as fine as he said.
Julien also knew that he could not fool her. His thin lips parted as he said, "I just got hit on my
shoulder. It''s nothing serious."
"I see..." Sydney''sshes quivered, not knowing what to say.
After two seconds, she forced down the stirring of her heart and asked him, "Why did you save me
just now? You could''ve just left me alone."
Julien lowered his eyelids, concealing the look in his eyes, and replied in a light voice, "That yer
smashed the basketball here because he couldn''t beat Jayden. Jayden looked at us many times, so
that yer probably guessed that we''re people he cares about. He threw the ball at us because he
wanted to get back at Jayden."
"So, that''s how it is." Sydney frowned.
How could the yers of the Kingthene team be so unsportsmanlike?
They took it out on the audience because they could not win on the court!
Julien continued, "The basketball that almost hit you was caused by Jayden. If you had gotten hurt,
Jayden would feel very guilty. I''m his older brother, so I have the obligation to help him put an end to
this."
"I get it," Sydney replied softly, but there was a self-deprecating smile in her heart.
It turned out he saved her because of Jayden. She felt ridiculous for having gotten her hopes up.
For a moment, Sydney''s heart, which had warmed up a little, turned into dead ashes once again.
Just then, the stadium manager came over with two staff members and apologized to Sydney and
Julien." I''m really sorry, Sir and Madam. Are you injured?"
"His shoulder is injured. Please call for a doctor." Sydney pointed at Julien.
The manager nodded. "Of course. Pleasee with us to the lounge."
"Alright." Sydney agreed.
In any case, Julien was injured because he saved her.
She had an obligation to apany him to the doctor.
Sydney stood up with her crutches.
Julien extended his hand to her. "I''ll help you up!"
Sydney looked at his hand and refused expressionlessly. "No, I can walk by myself."
Then, she took the lead and walked forward.
Julien saw her walking so carefully after refusing him and pursed his lips.
In the end, he suppressed the irritation in his heart, lowered his hand, and followed her.
In the lounge, Julien took off his dress shirt and revealed his strong and sturdy upper body, letting
the doctor apply medication to him.
Sydney sat on the sofa opposite him, staring intently at the big red spot on his shoulder. It was clear
how hard the basketball hit him.
If he had not blocked it for her, her teeth might have been knocked out.
When she thought of this, she grew a little frightened and felt even more guilty when she looked at
his shoulder.
"President Flint..."
Just as she was about to say something, Julien''s phone suddenly rang and interrupted her words.
Julien took out his phone and his eyes softened when he saw the caller ID. "Lyra."
"Julien, are you okay?" Lyra''s worried cries came from the phone.
Julien narrowed his eyes. "How did you know?"
"I watched the live broadcast. Julien, are you hurt?" Lyra asked again.
Julien''s heart warmed slightly, and his voice became much gentler. "I''m fine, don''t worry."
"That''s good." Lyra nodded with tears of joy. Then, she asked, "Jayden''spetition is almost over.
Shall Ie over to you?"
"Sure." Julien hummed and agreed.
After the call ended, he put down the phone and
looked at Sydney. "What were you going to say?"
"Nothing." Sydney shook her head.
N?velDrama.Org owns this.
She originally wanted to say that she would treat him to a meal to repay him.
However, when she heard that Lyra wasing, she dropped the idea. Who knew what Lyra would
do this time if she misunderstood Sydney''s intentions?
Seeing that Sydney did not want to tell him, Julien also did not ask, and the lounge fell silent.
Suddenly, Sydney remembered something and hurriedly took out her phone.
She did not manage to answer Luke''s call earlier, so she did not know what was going on.
She quickly called him back.
Luke answered immediately, "Darling, bad news!"
Sydney''s expression turned solemn when she heard Luke''s anxious tone. "What happened?"
Julien heard her words and looked over at her, enduring the pain on his shoulder.
"Someone made a livestream of Julien and you in the stadium watching the game. The people on
Twitter are badmouthing you, saying that you''re pestering your ex-husband even after divorcing
him. There are also people saying that you came in between Lyra and Julien, and you took
advantage of Lyra''s ident to marry Julien. The entire Inte is cursing you right now!" Luke
quickly exined the matter.
Sydney''s eyes widened. "How did that happen?"
"What''s wrong?" Julien''s expression tightened when he saw her pale face. Unbeknownst to him, his
voice also grew anxious.
Sydney ignored him and continued to ask Luke, "Who did it?"
"I don''t know yet. I''m checking now, but I suspect it must’ve something to do with Lyra," Luke
replied.
After all, only a few people knew about what happened six years ago, and it was only those who
had a grudge against his darling that would deliberately distort the truth to discredit her.
The only people who had a grudge against his darling and knew about what happened that year
was Lyra and her family, so it was either Lyra or the Madden family behind this matter.
Sydney also figured this out and tightened her grip on her phone. "I got it."
"Darling, should we...?"
Sydney took a deep breath. "Wait till I get back first."
"Okay." Luke nodded. Then, he thought of something and hurriedly reminded her, "By the way, this
matter exploded on the Inte, so there''ll definitely be reporters blocking you in the stadium. Don''t
go out through the main entrance."
"Got it." Sydney took note of it.
After hanging up the phone, she scrolled through Twitter. Her body trembled in anger when she saw
the heinous abuse on the Inte.
"What happened?" Julien''s heart clenched when he saw her bite her lips until she almost drew
blood, and asked her again.
Sydney finally paid attention to him and sneered." What else? Your fiance saw us sitting together in
the livestream and went crazy with jealousy, so she started spreading rumors about me on the
Inte."
"That''s impossible!" Julien pursed his lips and directly rejected her words.
"Impossible?" Sydney clenched her fists and brought her phone to his face. "Does this look
impossible to you?"
Julien saw the news on Twitter and the frighteningments below, and his brows furrowed
deeply." Lyra isn''t necessarily behind this."
Lyra promised him that she would not do anything to Sydney again.
He believed in Lyra.
"Then tell me. If it isn''t her, who else knows about what happened six years ago?" Sydney brought
her phone back. "The only person I know who has a grudge against me is Lyra Madden, so she''s
the biggest suspect!"
