Chapter 14 The Car ident Six Years Ago


    In the office, Julien tapped his index finger on the desktop rhythmically.


    He seemed to be waiting for something.


    After another five minutes or so, Zach came back. "Sir, although there were some setbacks, I found


    it.”


    The man slowly raised his eyes. "What setback?"


    "The surveince on that street has been overwritten long ago, and it''s not easy to find since it’s


    video footage from six years ago. Then, aputer repairman told me that he had a copy. He said


    that the car ident six years ago was a huge case, so he saved it. He came to me when he found


    out that I was looking for the video."


    After Zack finished speaking, he looked at Julien carefully. "Ms. Madden''s car in the video was


    indeed hit by another blue car. Do you want to see it?"


    Back then, Sydney was driving a blue Audi.


    "No need." Julien''s face was indifferent as he instructed, "Give it to me and make arrangements for


    that person. We don''t want him to go out and talk nonsense."


    "Understood."


    Zach had been with Julien for many years, so he naturally knew exactly what he meant. It was clear


    that Julien did not intend to make this matter public, nor did he want his ex-wife to go to jail for it.


    Julien stared at the pen in his hand and fell into deep thought.


    After a while, he picked up his jacket and went back to Flint Mansion.


    Just as he got to the hall, he heard the sound ofughtering from inside.


    Velma and Lyra were talking about something funny, and the atmosphere was very cordial. Even


    Jayden, who was usually mischievous, was sitting quietly ying with his cellphone.


    At that moment, Velma noticed the door and quickly got up. "Julien, you''re back."


    Lyra also stood up, looking gentle and dignified.


    Julien nodded and handed his jacket to the maid." What are you two talking about so happily?"

    Lyra looked at Velma and pursed her lips into a smile. "Aunty was telling me about your childhood. I


    was very interested in it."


    Velma pretended to be angry. "Why are you calling me Aunty? You''re my future daughter-inw.


    You should call me Mom."


    Lyra blushed and looked at the man shyly. "It’s still too soon." "We''re a family, so there''s no need to


    be shy, right,


    Julien?" Velma deliberately teased the two of them. On the side, even Jayden interjected from time


    to time. "I can’t call her Lyra in the future. I have to call her sister-inw instead!"


    Lyra''s face blushed even more.


    Julien sighed. "Mom, stop teasing Lyra. She''s shy."


    Velma found it amuzing. "Look at you. She hasn''t even married you, and you''re so protective


    already. Fine, fine. I won’t disturb you two lovebirds. Your mom, I, will go out to chat with some old


    friends." 1


    Jayden also giggled pensively and gave his brother an ambiguous wink. "I also won''t be the third


    wheel, Bro."


    After they left, only two people were left.


    Lyra walked up and held the man''s hand. She was a little hesitant to speak. "Julien, my dad has


    been asking me about the ident. Did you say anything to him?"


    Julien shook his head. "No.”


    "My dad seems to know it had something to do with Lyra, but I didn’t tell him. That’s strange." After


    a pause, she sighed. "I''ve forgiven Ms. Raines, and I don’t wish to pursue it."


    "You don’t hate her?"


    "No. She''s quite a pitiful person too. She must have loved you a lot to have done such a crazy


    thing." Lyra was very kind and understanding, which made people feel veryfortable.


    Julien stroked her hair with a deep gaze. "Lyra, you''re always so kind. You were like this in college


    too. I remember you mentioned in your letter that you saved a small mouse as a child and put it on


    your bed to raise it. Your father almost blew his back in anger because of this."


    At that, his mouth curled into a smile. "How interesting."


    Lyra''s smile froze for a moment, and she quicklyposed herself. "Why mention all that


    embarrassing stories of the past? By the way, I heard Jay say that the Old Madam hasn''t been in


    good health recently. I''d like to visit her."


    Al the thought of his grandmother''s coldness towards him, Julien hesitated for a moment. "I’ll bring


    you there tomorrow."


    "Okay."


    When the man went upstairs, Lyra took out her phone and dialed a number. "How was it?"


    "It''s been arranged, Miss. What’s the next step?"


    "I want to see it go viral the day before the banquet." "Understood.”
