Chapter 399 Can''t Let Her Know
Julien opened his thin lips and said word by word, "The secret of Sydney''s identity."
Zach was confused. "The secret of her identity? Mr. Flint, do you mean there is something wrong
with Sydney''s identity?"
Julien nodded. "Yes. She is not a Raines."
"How is this possible?" Zach eximed. " Everyone in the upper ss knows that more than twenty
years ago, Harry''s first wife gave birth to Sydney in the South Lake Hospital. Yesterday Sydney
went to that hospital, which proved that she was Harry’s daughter."
"26 years ago, Harry''s first wife gave birth to a girl in the South Lake Hospital, but she is not
Sydney." Julien narrowed his eyes.
Zach was even more puzzled, "Do you mean that the girl had been reced by Sydney?"
"Yes. That girl might have died 26 years ago. Yesterday Sydney read a lot of the baby girl''s medical
reports, which showed that the girl was unhealthy and probably couldn''t live long, so I guess that
the girl died within half a year after her birth," Julien said and rubbed his fingers.
Zach looked at him. "Why do you guess so?"
"Because of Sydney''s red mole." Julien pursed his thin lips. "26 years ago, when rice was just a
month old, she was taken away and was thrown into theke by Harry in front of Brandon and
Brandon''s wife. Both the search and rescue teams didn''t find rice. Some people said that rice
didn''t die. Others said that rice had long been washed away by the water, so she couldn''t be
found. More people believe that she was dead."

"After all, rice was just a baby at that time. She couldn’t survive after being thrown into theke."
Zach nodded. "But what does this have to do with Ms. Raines?"
Julien nced sideways at Zach and answered, "ording to Sydney''s deduction one month ago,
we are sure that rice didn''t die. What had been thrown into theke might be swaddling clothes
or a doll."
"Yes. rice must be alive now," Zach said.
Julien narrowed his eyes slightly. "Then could it be that she lives in the Raines family?" "The Raines
family?" Zach froze, realized something, and opened his mouth wide." Do you mean that Sydney is
rice?" "Yes." Julien nodded. "Some time ago, when I was in the hospital parking lot, I happened
to see Mrs. Madden taking Denna''s hand and asking why the red mole on Denna’s wrist
disappeared. Derma answered that the red mole had been burned by a cigarette. Thus, I
understood at that time that the real rice had a red mole on her wrist, and you said that Sydney
had a red mole on her wrist, so Sydney is rice."
Zach gulped. It took quite a while for him to calm down. "How did things turn out like this? Harry
didn''t drown rice. Instead, he took rice home and raised her."
Julien closed his eyes. "That''s why I said the real Sydney died within half a year after her birth.
When Harry took rice away, the real Sydney was only five months old, but at that time, the
Raines family didn’t have two baby girls, so I think the real Sydney had already died and that
rice took the ce of the real Sydney. She became the Sydney we see now."
Zach rubbed his face and forced himself to be collected. "No wonder Denna wanted to destroy the
red mole on Sydney''s wrist. Knowing that Sydney was the real rice, Denna was afraid that
Sydney''s mole would be seen by the Madden family, so she..."
Zach''s words were self-exnatory.
A silence fell in the study.
A few momentster, Zach looked at Julien and said, "Shall we tell Sydney about it?"
Julien tapped his fingers anxiously on the table.
He was stumped by the question.
After a while, Julien rubbed his brow and replied, "No."
"Why?" Zach was curious about the reason.
Julien said with gloomy eyes, "She will break down. In her eyes, she is a Raines, and she hates the
Madden family. The two families are deadly enemies. If you tell her that she is not a Raines, but a
Madden, what will she think? If you were her, what would you think?"
Zach lowered his eyes, thought about it, and answered with a serious face, "I would go crazy if I
were Sydney. I had been working hard to retaliate against the Madden family, but one day, I found
out that my enemies were my parents. I could never ept it."
"That''s right. This is an insurmountable problem. If Sydney knows her identity, she will choose
between taking revenge on the Madden family and epting Brandon and his wife as her parents.
Both choices will torture her."
"Yes.” Zach sighed. "If Sydney continues to retaliate, her enemies will be her parents, and she will
be morally and ethically unjustified. Sydney will be overwhelmed by the outsiders'' usations. Yet
if she reunites with the Madden family, people will say that she is ungrateful because she was
brought up by the Raines family. In short, either choice is not good.”
"Sydney is a kind person. If she knows Brandon and his wife are her biological parents, she won''t
take revenge on them. To settle the feud between the two families, she may sacrifice herself," Julien
said and clenched his fists.
Zach nodded. "It is possible, so we can''t tell Sydney about her real identity. Then things will be
difficult. Sydney doesn''t know that Brandon and his wife are her biological parents, so she will follow
her original n to ruin Brandon and his wife to avenge Harry''s and that technician''s deaths."
Julien sighed softly. "This is a tricky problem. Sydney can''t hurt her parents. Keep an eye on
Brandon and his wife and protect them when Sydney tries to harm them. They can be killed, but not
by Sydney."
"I see." Zach nodded seriously.
"In addition, get me a helicopter. I''ll go back to Port City to meet Derma. After being betrayed by
Derma, Sydney will not let Derma stay there anymore. Sydney will reveal Derma''s identity to the
Madden family. If so, the Madden family will continue to look for rice. Although few people know
that Sydney''s red mole was removed, Brandon and his wife may know about it one day."
Julien''s eyes narrowed slightly. "Thus, for Sydney''s good, Verma has to continue to be rice."
When there was an opportunity, he would let Sydney know her real identity.
But he couldn''t do it now.
Zach nodded. "I''ll do it right now." "Go ahead." Julien waved his hand.
