Chapter 676 It Was All Him
"Then? "Sydney clenched her hands into fists.
So, the Azure Heart wasn''t meant for Lyra at all.
It was meant for Sydney from the very beginning.
"After buying it, I suddenly realized that I did not know how to give it to you." Julien looked right into
Sydney''s eyes. "At that time, we were already divorced, so no matter what identity I used or what
ideas I came up with, it was simply inappropriate for me to give you the Azure Heart. So, I decided
not to give it in the end. I just kept it. However, I never thought that someone would leak the news of
me buying the Azure Heart and even spread rumors that I bought it as an engagement gift for Lyra."
"However, you didn''t try to exin it, did you?" Sydney bit her lip as she was a little upset.
How could she not be?
Since it wasn''t an engagement gift for Lyra, then why wouldn''t hee out to exin the
misunderstanding? Why would he have remained silent?
To be honest, Sydney wasn''t quitefortable with that thought.
Julien smoothed Sydney''s hair and chuckled. "Sorry. It was my fault, but I had my own reasons too."
"What kind of reasons?" Sydney red at him. She acted like she would fight with him if he didn''t
give her a satisfactory exnation.
He parted his thin lips and replied, "I didn''t know of the rumor at first. You know that I don''t follow
news like this often. I only knew of it when Zach told me about it in the end. I was going to clear up
the misunderstanding, but something happened at that moment."
"Lyra used me of running into her?" She could immediately guess what he was referring to.
After all, that was the biggest event that happened at the time.
Julien nodded. "That''s right. The Maddens had spread the rumors that you crashed into Lyra, which
turned public opinion against you. The people I sent to watch you told me that you were
exasperated, so you worked with Luke and Layden to find the surveince camera footage of Lyra''s
ident to prove your innocence. It was at that moment when I realized that I had wrongly used
you and that the Maddens had deceived me. You didn’t hit Lyra with your car. I''m sorry."
He ced his hand behind Sydney''s head to press it against his chest as he apologized in a
regretful tone.
In their six years of marriage, the reason why he was cold to her was not only because he felt that
he didn''t love her. The main reason was that he thought she had crashed into Lyra.
When Julien learned that Sydney was searching for the surveince camera footage with Luke and
the others, he finally realized that he had been in the wrong.
As Sydney listened to Julien apologizing for his earlier usation, she felt a bitter feeling well up in
her chest.
She felt wronged by his misunderstanding of her for so many years. Meanwhile, she felt relieved by
his apology.
She realized then that she had always been bothered by his misunderstanding of her.
Otherwise, she wouldn''t have been so emotional when she heard his apology.
Julien could feel Sydney trembling in his arms, so he held her closer and apologized again. "I''m
sorry, Sydney. I''m really sorry."
Sydney shook her head in his arms as her voice quivered. "It''s okay. You made up for it, didn''t you?
The reason why we could find the surveince camera footage so easily was that you helped us,
right?"
She looked up at him.
There was an apparent change in Julien''s expression.
When she saw that, Sydney knew she was correct and leaned her head against Julien''s chest." At
first, I thought that Luke, Layden, and I found the surveince video of that year too smoothly, so I
wondered if someone was secretly helping us. After all, only the traffic control department has the
surveince video of the car ident that year. It had already been six years, so the department
should''ve already sealed those surveince videos. Given our social status, we are not powerful
enough to ask the traffic control department to search the surveince videos."
After saying that, she held Julien''s waist tighter. "When we arrived, the department was extremely
cooperative with our request, though I was puzzled then. And I was so thrilled that I found the
videos, so I didn’t think too much about it. When I heard you saying earlier that you knew of my
innocence before Lyra recovered, I thought you might have had a hand in this."
"It was indeed me." Julien lowered his head and kissed the top of her head. He had admitted that
he was the one who helped her out.
He said, "I have wrongly med you for six years, so I couldn''t watch you shoulder the me any
longer. Also, I wanted to teach the Maddens a lesson, for I had wrongly used you wholly
because the Maddens insisted that you ran into Lyra."
Sydney nodded as she realized the truth. " So, that was why you didn’t stop me when I yed the
video at the banquet celebrating Lyras''s recovery?"
It wasn''t that he didn''t stop her. He did try to stop her, but it seemed he was simply pretending to do
so.
However, as she was upied with clearing her name at the time, she didn''t notice it.
Now that she thought about it, she finally realized how odd he looked at the banquet.
After all, given Julien''s ability, he could have easily stopped her from ying the video if he had
wanted to. He could''ve thrown her out with Luke and Layden, but he didn''t.
So, he had definitely held back.
"Yes." Julien nodded with a faint smile in his eyes. "I told Zach to switch the person checking the
invitations at the entrance by recing them with my own people so that you can easily enter the
venue. If not, you would have been banned."
"No wonder." Sydney raised her head." Before I entered with Luke and Layden, I was thinking that it
wouldn''t be an easy task to aplish. And we might suffer some injuries before we could even
leave. However, everything went surprisingly well that night, and it was so smooth that it even felt
eerie. I didn''t know why I felt that way, but now, I know it''s because you had made arrangements
beforehand."
"Yup."

"All right."
Sydney patted his chest. "Seeing how you have helped me after realizing that you had wrongly
used me, I forgive you for the six years of misunderstanding me."
After saying that, she bit his chest under his clothes.
It was a small bite, so he wouldn''t have felt any pain.
However, Julien still pretended to feel pain
and grunted.
Hearing his grunt, Sydney hurriedly released her grip and rubbed the spot she had bitten moments
earlier. "Did it hurt, Julien?"
Julien took her hand and squeezed it. "No, I was just joking."
She pped his hand away in exasperation. "Get lost."
He gave a low chuckle before he ced his hands back on her waist.
Sydney looked at him. "You still haven’t told me the whole story about the Azure Heart.”
"So, the person whom I sent to keep an eye on you told me that you were trying to locate the
surveince camera footage of the ident with Luke and the others. After you found it, you would
cause an uproar at the banquet celebrating Lyra''s recovery. You wanted to reveal their cunning plot
to shift the me, and you also wanted to humiliate the Maddens and Lyra at the banquet. When
someone spread that I bought the Azure Heart for Lyra, the Maddens never doubted it and even
thought that the Azure Heart was indeed my gift for her. So, the Maddens didn''t suppress the
rumors and added fuel to the fire instead. You thought that if you stole the Azure Heart during the
banquet, the Maddens and Lyra would be terribly ashamed..."
Hearing that, Sydney finally understood everything as she gaped in shock. "So, you just went along
with it and didn''t clear the misunderstanding on purpose. You felt that I woulde to steal it if you
allowed the rumors to spread?"
