Chapter 160 Do You Regret It?
So, that was what happened.
Julien pursed his thin lips.
He knew that Harry Raines kidnapped rice, but he did not think that it was Brandon who forced
him to do so.
It seemed like some things could not be investigated only in part but in their entirety. Otherwise,
they were likely to be blinded by false appearances and lose sight of the truth.
When Julien thought of Brandon''s hatred when he mentioned Harry, he found it absurd now.
What was even more ridiculous was that he believed Brandon''s rhetoric that it was Harry who let
down the Madden family.
At that thought, Julien looked at Sydney with guilt and shame in his eyes.
He was ashamed that he only listened to one side of the story and thought that her father was not a
good man.
Sydney did not have time to pay attention to Julien. She bowed her head and clutched the
ne." That''s why this ne appeared in the Raines residence."
It must have been taken from rice''s neck when her father kidnapped rice.
"Yes." The Old Madam nodded.
Sydney then asked, "How did rice die?"
She had a bold guess.
It was a guess that she was very reluctant to think about.
Under Sydney''s gaze, the Old Madam slowly said," Your father threw her into the river and drowned
her... in front of Brandon and his wife."
Boom!
Her guess came true.
Sydney''s vision went dark as she felt the world spin.
She swayed and was about to fall.
Julien grabbed her shoulders and let her lean in his arms. "Are you okay?"
"I''m fine," Sydney bit her lip and answered weakly.
The Old Madam looked at her with great concern. "Sit down quickly."
Julien helped Sydney to the chair.
Sydney trembled. "Dad... How could he have done something so stupid?"
He drowned a child.
It was no wonder that six years ago, Brandon forced her father to die. It turned out that he was
taking
revenge.
"Yes, your father was stupid, but it''s understandable. After all, it’s easy to do stupid and impulsive
things when he’s driven to that point." The Old Madam touched Sydney''s head in distress.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.
Sydney closed her eyes. "He was too impulsive."
"Don''t you find something very wrong about that?" Julien suddenly spoke out at that moment.
Sydney looked up at him. "What?"
"Since your father drowned rice in front of Brandon and his wife, why didn''t your father go to
prison?"
Julien continued, "With Brandon''s vengeful character, he''d never have let your father and Skylight
off, but he did. Not only did he not pursue your father''s legal responsibility, he even let your father
go back to continue to develop Skylight and only dealt with your father and Skylight six years ago."
Sydney was struck by a realization. "That''s right. Why did he do that? Grandma, do you know?"
She looked at the Old Madam.
The Old Madam shook her head. "I''m not too sure about that. Maybe there was some kind of deal
between your father and Brandon at that time. There''s no other exnation."
Sydney bit her lower lip. "Maybe but no matter what, the Raines and Madden families’ had
irreconcble
grudge."
Brandon was the one who caused this hatred.
Although her dad killed Brandon''s daughter, Brandon also forced her dad to die.
The hatred between human lives was offset, but there was still the hatred between Brandon and
Skylight. She would avenge this grudge!
When Julien saw the hatred in Sydney''s eyes, he wanted to erase it for her.
Her eyes were beautiful and should not be tainted with these things.
However, he knew that he was not qualified, nor did he have the right to erase it.
Just as he was thinking, he heard Sydney''s cold voice. "President Flint, I want to destroy Trison and
the Madden family."
Julien was not that surprised to hear those words. The hatred in her eyes had told him in advance
what she was thinking.
"So?" Julien looked at her.
"So, will you intervene?" Sydney looked at him expressionlessly.
Julien''s brows knitted slightly.
What was that look supposed to mean? Was she nning to deal with him as well if he intervened?
"President Flint, I want to know your answer! Will you intervene and help the Madden family?"
Sydney asked again when Julien did not say anything.
The Old Madam hurriedly said, "Of course, he won''t. If he dares to help the Madden family, I''ll be
the first to stop him!"
"Grandma, I want to hear the answer from his mouth," Sydney said.
If not for Grandma, she would not care if Julien helped the Madden family. It was naturally good if
he did not help them, but if he did, she would just deal with him as well. If she could not, then she
would simply go to extremes.
She only asked this because she cared about Grandma, and Julien was her grandson. She had to
make Grandma mentally prepared in advance, lest Grandma be sad if Julien helped the Madden
family and she dealt with Julien as well.
"I won''t," Julien lowered his eyes and answered.
This was Brandon''s fault in the first ce. It was only right for the Madden family to pay the price.
As for Lyra, he could still take care of her well even without the Madden family.
"Good. Remember your words. If you suddenly go back on your word likest time, I''ll make you
suffer for the rest of your life even at the cost of my own," Sydney said firmly.
Julien''s pupils shrank and his fists clenched. "I won''t." She was serious. If he went back on his
words, she would really do something that would make him suffer for the rest of his life.
For example, killing Lyra, or killing herself...
"What words did you go back on?" The Old Madam looked at Julien and interrupted his thoughts.
"Nothing." Julien''s eyes flickered slightly, not wanting to answer. He also looked at Sydney, hoping
that she would cooperate.
After all, Grandma would be stimted if she knew that Lyra pushed Sydney down the stairs.
Sydney knew this very well, so she was happy to y along. "Alright, Grandma, don''t ask about
that. It''s in the past, so I don''t want to talk about it either. I''m just thinking about the secret behind
this ne. I don''t know why Dad wanted me to find this ne."
It was not necessary if it was just for revenge. Even without the ne, she knew that her dad
was forced to die because of Brandon, and she would take revenge regardless.
Thus, this matter must not be that simple. There must be another role for this ne.
"I don''t know either. Your father just said that it was about a huge secret. That secret should be the
incident from twenty years ago that I just told you. As for whether there are any other details, I''m not
sure." The Old Madam shook her head.
Sydney sighed.
The Old Madam smiled. "Don''t worry. Just keep it for now. Maybe one day, you''ll find out the truth."
"You''re right." Sydney smiled. "It''s gettingte, so I''ll go now. It''s almost dark."
"Alright, I''ll have Julien send you off," the Old Madam said while looking at Julien, "Send Syd back."
"Okay." Julien took out his car keys and agreed.
However, Sydney refused softly. "No need, Grandma. I''ll just hail a cab. There''s no need to bother
President Flint. Bye now."
After speaking, she smiled, picked up her bag, and went out. She did not even nce at Julien the
entire time.
Julien pursed his lips and lifted his legs, subconsciously wanting to chase after her.
The Old Madam called out to him sternly, "Stop!"
Julien stopped in his tracks. "Grandma?"
"Syd already said she doesn''t want you to send her back. What are you doing?" The Old Madam
stared at him.
''Geez. In the past, you didn''t want to send her back when you could.
''Now that she doesn''t want you to send her back, you want to instead. That''ll still depend on
whether Syd is
willing to let you or not.''
Julien''s lips moved, wanting to say something, but he suddenly could not speak.
The Old Madam sighed. "Do you regret it?"
"What?" Julien''s eyes flickered.
The Old Madam snorted coldly. "Cut the act. I''m asking you if you regret divorcing Syd."
Julien''s heart felt like it had been seized by someone. It stung slightly.
He lowered his eyes slightly, covering the emotions in them. "No."
