Chapter 345 Hunter Returns
"An opportunity?" Sydney''s brows knitted in confusion when she heard that. "You mean..."
"Don''t you want to send Lyra to jail? This time, you can. That man is a witness. I''ve already sent
someone to catch him. He''ll confess to Lyra''s crime, and you can send her to jail," Julien said in a
low voice.
Originally, he asked Zach to find a way to set up a trap for Lyra to break thew so that she would
be thrown into prison.
However, Lyra had been in the hospital these days. Even after being discharged from the hospital,
she stayed in the Madden residence and did not leave her home, so Zach could not find an
opportunity to set a trap for her. That was why Lyra was still roaming free outside.
However, now that proof of her crimes had been handed to him, he naturally would not let it go.
Sydney’s eyes lit up.
Yes, this was an opportunity.
Lyra was still on probation. If she broke thew during probation, she would be put in jail.
Although she did not break thew during the probation period specifically, a crime shemitted
before the probation period would be counted as well as long as there was evidence!
Sydney smiled excitedly. "All right. Thank you. President Flint."
"You don''t have to thank me. I''m not only doing this for you but for myself too. I''m making up for my
past mistakes," Julien replied with lowered eyes.
The smile on Sydney''s face faded a lot. " President Flint..."
"Okay, I still have work to do here, so I''ll hang up now. I’ll let you know when the man arrives in Port
City. Bye!" Julien hurriedly hung up the phone.
He knew that she would say estranged words like he did not need to make it up to her.
He did not want to hear such words.
Sydney looked at the screen that had jumped back to the main menu interface and could not help
but raise her brows.
This was the first time Julien hung up on her since he told her that he loved her.
What was he hiding from?
In the hospital, in the ICU.
Zach took Julien’s phone and put it on the bedside. "President Flint, what’s wrong?"
Why did he hang up in such a hurry?
Someone not in the know would think that he was being chased by something.
Julien pursed his lips. "Nothing."
"Well, then I''ll go back to the office first." Zach offered to leave.
Julien hummed. "Go ahead."
Zach turned and left.
In the evening, Hunter rushed back to Port City from South Lake.
During the day, he already knew from Zach that Julien was hospitalized, so he went straight to the
hospital after touchdown.
Seeing Julien who could not move on the hospital bed, Hunter wrapped his arms around his
stomach andughed. "Julien, your style is unique. Hahaha, oh, my sides!”
"Shut up!” Julien''s temples throbbed as he yelled in a harsh voice.
Hunter coughed several times and forced hisughter down. Then he waved. "Fine, fine, I''ll stop
laughing. How did you get injured?"
He asked Zach during the day, but Zach brushed off the matter and did not tell him how Julien got
injured.
That was why he was so curious now.
Julien lowered his eyes and said in a cold voice, "It was an ident. All right, let''s get down to
business.”
Seeing that Julien did not want to say anything, Hunter curled the corners of his mouth. "Why''re you
trying to hide it? Fine, be that way. I don''t care anyway. As for you, why did you catch one of my
men?"
"He drugged Sydney. Why do you think I caught him?" Julien narrowed his eyes at Hunter coldly.
Hunter''s expression changed. "Sydney was drugged? How could that be?"
Sydney had not been to his club in recent months.
How did his employee drug her?Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.
"It wasn''t now, but three months ago. The night I slept with Sydney, your employee was bribed by
Lyra and drugged Sydney''s wine," Julien frowned and said with anger.
Hunter was stunned. After a long time, he suppressed the shock and said with a sullen face, "I
didn''t know about that." "I know you didn’t know. I wouldn''t have known if I didn''t investigate it
clearly too. In addition, Lyra also arranged for a man to sleep with Sydney. This is the monitoring
feed of that night. Zach went to your club to make a copy. Take a look." Julien grabbed the phone
from the bedside table, tapped it a few times, and threw it to Hunter.
Hunter fumbled to catch the phone and watched the video.
That video was the same one that Julien sent to Sydney.
A few minutester, Hunter finished watching the video. He squeezed the phone and did not speak
for a long time.
Julien''s eyes stared at him coldly. "The morning after the incident, I told you to handle the
surveince. Why didn''t you notice this man?"
Hunter knew he was in the wrong and said, "Sorry. You asked me to handle the surveince to
avoid Sydney waking up to check, so I just told the guards in the control room to seal the video
feeds. I didn''t check the contents of the video personally, so I didn''t know that so many other things
happened that night."
Back then, he was not interested in Sydney, so he naturally would not watch the video feed.
The next day after Sydney woke up, she indeed asked him to help check the monitor. However, he
did not watch the video and simply told her that there was nothing wrong with it.
Now, he regretted it.
Julien’s brows furrowed deeply at Hunter''s words, obviously very dissatisfied.
Hunter saw this, and his expression turned unpleasant. "You look like you''re ming me for not
checking the monitor at that time."
Julien narrowed his eyes and did not deny it.
Hunterughed in anger. "Julien Flint, be reasonable. Even if I checked the surveince, would you
investigate who that man is? Even if you found out about that man''s existence, you wouldn''t have
tried to seek justice for Sydney."
Julien’s expression changed, clearly thinking of something.
Hunter snorted coldly and said, "Back then, your eyes and heart were full of Lyra. If you found out
that Lyra was the one who hired that man, with your feelings for her back then, you would''ve just
helped her cover it
up and acted like nothing happened. Why are you ming me for what happened now?"
Julien''s pupils contracted, and he had nothing to say.
That was because Hunter''s words hit the nail on the head.
His hypnosis was not lifted back then, and his heart waspletely devoted to Lyra. Even if he
knew that Lyra got a man to vite Sydney, he would still think of it as a trivial matter.
That was why he had no right to me Hunter at all.
Seeing Julien''s low mood, Hunter sighed." Forget it. What''s the point of saying all that now? It''s
already been so long. The important thing is to think of what to do now, and how to make up for it.
I''ll leave that waiter to you."
With Julien’s current feelings for Sydney, that waiter was finished.
"As for Sydney..." Hunter felt overwhelmed. He did not know what to do.
He was also at fault in this matter.
However, if he apologized, his words saying there was nothing wrong with the monitoring back then
would be exposed as a lie, and Sydney would be angry with him.
The fact that he hid Julien''s identity as the child''s father might be exposed as well. If that happened,
Sydney would not just be angry. She might even cut ties with him.
Hunter scratched his hair in annoyance.
''What a mess.
If I''d known that I''d fall in love with Sydney, I wouldn''t have helped Julien cover it up. Look, I''m in
such a tough spot now.’
At that thought, Hunter gave Julien a dark look.
Julien pursed his lips and said faintly," There''s no need to be conflicted. The child in Sydney''s belly
has been removed, and she already knows that I''m the father. She also knows Z-H is me."
At those words, the air in the ward instantly froze and became extraordinarily quiet.
A momentter, Hunter clenched his fists and said in horror, "What did you say?
Sydney... knows?"
"Yes." A trace of light shed in Julien''s eyes.
After Sydney found out, their rtionship which had warmed slightly dropped to freezing point
again.
How would Hunter, his aplice, stay safe and sound?
They would die together!
