Chapter 279 Caught


    Three months ago, Julien had a chance of finding out that Sydney was the real Maple Leaf.


    He just divorced Sydney three months ago. If he found out that she was the real Maple Leaf then,


    Lyra would not have a chance to repeatedly attack Sydney, and he could also get Sydney back to


    his side sooner.


    However, there were no what-ifs.


    Jayden''s ignorance made him miss the opportunity.


    Of course, Julien also knew that this was notpletely Jayden’s fault. If he insisted on reading the


    letter when Jayden snatched it back, then things would not get to how it was today.


    Everything was just an ill fate.


    On the other side, Jayden was feeling extremely uneasy when Julien abruptly hung up on him. He


    walked around with his phone, muttering, "Gosh, he must be hating me so much right now!"


    Jayden regretted not letting his brother read the letters.


    If he did, then Lyra would not have had a chance to do all those horrible things to Sydney, and


    Julien might have gotten back together with Sydney.


    However, he ruined it all.


    "I have to fix this!" Jayden decided to give Sydney a call. "Sydney, save me!"


    Sydney was in the middle of reading through some documents when she picked up her phone


    without looking at the caller ID. She did not expect it to be Jayden desperately calling for help.


    "What is it? Are you in the police station again?" Sydney put the phone between her ear and her


    shoulder, her tone of voice indifferent.


    Jayden tsked and said, "Is that what you expect of me?"


    "Hey, it''s not me. You just have a higher chance of getting caught," Sydney said as she wrote


    something on the document.


    Jayden''s face was flushed red. "Sydney, you''re too much!”

    "I was just kidding. What is it? I''m busy." Sydney put her signature on the document, put it aside,


    and took another one.


    Jayden scratched his head and said in a depressing tone, "I think my brother hates me."


    He then told Sydney about what happened.


    When Sydney heard the entire story, she stopped moving her hand. She did not realize that such a


    thing happened after Jay den took the letter.


    When Sydney said nothing, Jayden was feeling more anxious than ever. "Sydney, I think my brother


    hates me. Please save me!"


    "I''m sorry, this is none of my business, so I won''t get involved," Sydney said and continued looking


    through her document.


    Jayden did not expect her to reject him so quickly. He blinked in surprise. "Why? This is rted to


    you. If I didn''t..."


    "Enough!" Sydney interrupted him with a frown. "I know what you''re saying. Are you saying that


    your brother and I didn’t recognize each other sooner because of you?”


    Jayden nodded. “Yes. If I let my brother read the letter back then, I think you both can be together


    again.”


    "You''re wrong.” Sydney flipped the page of her document and said coldly, "Even if you give the letter


    to Julien back then, I won''t get back together with him."


    "Why?" Jayden''s eyes widened in surprise.


    Sydney replied in a cold voice, "There''s no particr reason, but if I have to say something, it''ll be


    because I don''t love him. Why would I get together with a man I don''t love?”


    After saying that, Sydney hung up.


    Just then, someone knocked on her door.


    Sydney said "Lome in" without looking up.


    Sophie walked in and stopped in front of Sydney''s desk. "President Raines, someone from the


    police station called and asked you to drop by. They caught the person who cast the horror images


    on your window."


    "They caught the person?”


    "Yes." Sophie nodded.


    Sydney smiled.


    Since she had not heard from the police after such a long time, she thought that the policemen had


    singlehandedly closed the case.


    "I’ll head over now." Sydney put down her pen, took her bag, and walked toward the door.


    Just when she walked out, she saw Layden walking toward her.


    "Are you going out?" Layden stopped in front of her and asked when he nced at her bag.


    Sydney nodded. "I’m going to drop by the police station.”


    "Police station?” Layden narrowed his eyes. "What happened?”


    "It''s not a big issue. They caught someone who cast horror skeletal images on my window in the


    middle of the night," Sydney said.


    Layden''s face darkened. "Horror skeletal images? In the middle of the night?"


    "Yes.”


    “Sydney, why didn’t you tell me about this?” Layden held Sydney’s hand, and his eyes were full of


    disapproval. "What if the person had bad intentions?"


    When Sydney saw his worried expression. she felt a warmth washing over her. She patted the back


    of his hand with a smile." Don''t worry, I''m fine. The person is also caught."


    "I know you’re fine now, but you can''t guarantee that you''ll be fine in the future too." Layden was still


    worried.


    Sydney smiled. "Alright, alright. I know. You''ll be the first to know if anything happens in the future,


    alright?"


    Layden nodded, visibly satisfied at her words.


    Sydney was deeply amused. "I''m heading to the police station now. We can talkter."


    "I''m just here to see you. I can follow you."


    After saying that, Layden held her hand and walked to the elevator right away without giving her a


    chance to reject him.


    In the car.


    Sydney suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Layden. "Cay, remember I told you


    that Sharon wanted some of your hair? You said you’ll think about it, so have you decided?”


    When Cayden heard that, something shed across his eyes but it quickly returned to its usual


    calmness. With a gentle smile, he said, "I don''t think I''ll do it. I’m definitely blood-rted to my


    parents, so it''s impossible for me to be someone else''s son. Maybe it''s just a coincidence that I look


    like her master. There are many people in this world who look alike."


    "That’s true," Sydney said, "I saw your parents'' pictures and you really do look like them. Perhaps


    Sharon had mistaken you. I''ll let her know about this so she''ll stop coveting your hair."


    "Okay." Cayden nodded with a smile.


    When Sydney turned her head to look out the window, Layden''s smile disappeared and it was


    reced by a twisted expression that screamed hatred.


    Lincoln Be was the one who abandoned him and his mother back then. Now that he was about


    to die, he realized that the sons he had could not be relied on and wanted to look for him.


    Did Lincoln Be expect him to return and take care of everything?


    Naive!


    More than anyone else, Cayden wanted Lincoln Be dead.


    After ten minutes or so, they reached the police station.


    Right after Cayden parked the car and Sydney stepped out, another car came and honked at her,


    asking her to move.


    Sydney frowned and walked forward. The car quickly parked at the spot where Sydney was


    standing earlier.


    The car door opened and a familiar figure appeared. It was Brandon Madden.


    Brandon saw Sydney from his car long ago, so he was not surprised by her appearance.


    While they both looked at each other, Brandon asked in a gloomy voice, "Why are you here?”


    "This is my private affairs. I don''t think this has anything to do with you, President Madden," Sydney


    replied with a light smile.


    Layden swept Brandon a nce and said to Sydney, "Let''s go, Sydney. We don''t have to waste


    time on him.”


    Sydney nodded.


    Just as Sydney was about to turn around, Brandon suddenly narrowed his eyes and stopped her.


    "Wait!"
