Chapter 150 Interrogation


    While Julien could not tell whether Lyra''s voice was reality or a dream, her voice rang out again.


    "Julien, open the door..."


    Upon hearing Lyra''s cries, Julien came to his senses and confirmed that it was not a dream.


    He lifted the quilt and got out of bed. After turning on the light, he walked toward the door.


    As soon as Julien opened the door, he saw the woman with messy hair and clothes outside his


    room. For a moment, he was stunned. With a frown, he said, "Lyra?"


    "Julien..." Lyra looked up at him with tears in her eyes.


    Julien''s expression sank when he realized she had injuries on her face. "What happened?"


    When Lyra heard his question, her lips quivered in grievance, and she cried even louder. She was


    just about to jump into his arms, but Julien subconsciously took a step back to avoid her.


    Lyra pounced in on a space and stopped crying for a moment. Then, she looked at him


    begrudgingly." Julien, did you just avoid me?"


    "Ahem." Julien knew that his reaction just now hurt her. Hence, he covered his lips and cleared his


    throat, exining, "Sorry, Lyra. You know I''m a neat freak."


    "I know, but-"


    "Alright. Tell me what happened to you." Julien interrupted her.


    Lyra bit her lower lip. "I was stuffed into a sack and beaten up."


    When Julien heard that she was stuffed into a sack, his first reaction was tough.


    In fact, he actually smiled. Although it was just a small one, Lyra still saw it.


    "Julien!" Lyra stomped her foot angrily. "I''ve been beaten up, and you''reughing at me?"

    "Sorry." Julien coughed another two more times and put away his smile before asking in a low


    voice, "Who beat you up?"


    Surprisingly, he did not feel angry that Lyra was beaten up.


    "It was Ms. Raines and the others. They told Jayden to lure me out of my room. Then, they knocked


    me out and put me in a sack. They brought me to the park outside, where they punched and kicked


    me. Look, Julien. I''m covered in injuries."


    Lyra lifted her sleeve, revealing therge and small bruises for him to see. "They did all this. They


    also sshed water on me. Julien, you have to do something about this. They''ve gone too far."


    Julien looked at the bruises on Lyra''s arms but still did not feel angry. However, his voice was cold.


    "Okay. You go back and wash up first. I''ll go find Jayden."


    "Okay." Lyra nodded and staggered back to her room next door.


    Julien raised his head and looked upstairs before walking up the stairs.


    "Jayden Flint,e out!" He stood in front of Jayden''s room and knocked on the door


    expressionlessly.


    Jayden opened the door. The moment he saw Julien, a hint of guilt shed in his eyes before it


    quickly disappeared. He yawned and pretended to be very sleepy. "What is it, Julien?"


    "Were you involved in beating Lyra up?" Julien looked at Jayden deep in the eyes.


    Jayden was someone who did not know how to lie. Hence, when Julien''s sharp eyes stared at him,


    he immediately revealed himself by stammering. He could not find the words to exin himself.


    Julien''s expression darkened. "I can''t believe you actually did something like that."


    "She deserved it. It''s her fault for harming Sydney." Jayden grunted.


    Julien frowned. "So you guys beat her up because of what happened during the day?"


    "So what if it is?" Jayden muttered softly.


    Julien looked at him coldly for a moment. "I won''t be giving you any pocket money for the next three


    months. Reflect on your actions."


    After that, he ignored Jayden''s wailing and went to knock on Hunter''s door.


    Soon, everyone on the third floor came out and crowded around the corridor.


    They nced at each other, knowing what Julien was here for. Lyra must have woken up and


    snitched on them, so Julien was here toe after them.


    "Julien, it''s the middle of the night now. What do you want by waking us all up?" Hunter stretched


    and leaned against the door frame, askingnguidly.


    "Yeah. Are you crazy?" Luke’s lips curled into a grin.


    Sydney also leaned against the door frame, her eyes slightly closed as if she was about to fall


    asleep again.


    Julien looked at her for two seconds and remembered his dream just now. His eyes darkened, and


    he quickly averted his gaze as he said coldly, "How are you going to exin beating Lyra up?"


    "What? Lyra was beaten up?" Luke looked surprised at first, but then he pped his hands and


    laughed."


    That''s great! Who did it? They did a great job. I shall send them a medal."


    "Pfft." Sydneyughed, but her eyes were still closed.


    Julien''s expression was terrifyingly dark. "Are you ying dumb?"


    "What are we ying dumb about?" Luke shrugged. " What? Don''t tell me you suspect us of


    beating up Lyra."


    "Judging by President Flint''s expression, it seems he does think so," Sharon said with a yawn.


    "Julien, that''s wrong of you? We''ve been sleeping in our rooms. How could we have beaten Lyra


    up?


    Besides, why would we beat her up for no reason?" Hunter also said, looking sleepy.


    Julien looked at those people who refused to admit it and pursed his lips coldly. "Jayden has


    already confessed. Why are you guys still making excuses?"


    "It''s his problem if he confesses. What has it got to do with us? Why should we confess to


    something we never did?" said Luke as he red at Jayden.


    That boy was so useless for letting the cat out of the bag so soon.


    Jayden saw the look in Luke''s eyes and lowered his head in shame.


    He did not want to admit it so quickly either. However, he was not good at lying, and he was afraid


    of his elder brother.


    He caved the moment Julien red at him.


    Julien knew that Luke was messing around, so he looked at thetter with cold eyes. Then, he


    turned his attention to Sydney. "Are you also unwilling to admit it? You all beat Lyra up in revenge


    for what she did to you during the day, right?"


    Sydney opened her eyes, which did not look sleepy at all, and looked at him calmly and


    emotionlessly. "Do you have any evidence?"


    Julien furrowed his brows when he saw the indifferent look in her eyes. It made him feel very


    agitated.


    He did not like the way she looked at him.


    However, he could not say why.


    "Yeah, what evidence do you have to prove that Lyra was beaten up because we wanted revenge


    on her?" Luke crossed his arms.


    "My injuries are the evidence." At that moment, Lyra''s voice sounded.


    The crowd looked over.


    Lyra had taken a shower and changed into a new set of clothes.


    When the group saw her ck-and-blue face, they could not help but burst out intoughter.


    Lyra''s face was pale and hideous. "What are youughing at?"


    "It''s nothing. We''re definitely notughing at how your face looks like a pig''s head, Ms. Madden.


    Hahaha..." Hunter held his belly andughed until tears fell out.


    When the others heard him, they startedughing again.


    Although Sydney did notugh as big as they did, the curl on the corners of her mouth and her


    slightly curved eyes revealed that she was in a good mood.


    "You... You..." Having been humiliated, Lyra jumped into Julien''s arms. "Julien, they''re too much!"


    Julien nced at the crowd coldly and bellowed, "All of you, shut up!"


    The crowd subconsciously stoppedughing.


    "Sorry, Julien. It''s because Ms. Madden... Ahem. That''s why we couldn''t help it." Hunter waved and


    said in embarrassment. However, there was no hint of embarrassment in his eyes.


    Luke also spoke, "Ms. Madden, you said that your injuries are evidence that we beat you, right?"


    "That''s right." Lyra came out of Julien''s arms and nodded.


    Sydney sneered. "With all due respect, Ms. Madden, your injuries don''t serve as evidence."
