Chapter 721 I Feel Sorry for Your Past
While hearing the discussion of the audience and looking at the man staring at the captain opposite
with a dark face, Sydney felt like she had a headache and massaged her forehead.
Facing Julien''s hostility, the captain was so embarrassed.
But those few young police officers behind himughed like crazy.
"Ahem ahem!" the captain cleared his throat. Then, as he scratched his head, he looked at Julien
and said with embarrassment, "Mr. Flint, could you let me go?"
His hand, which was now being tightly held by the young chairman, felt so much pain.
If he didn''t know that the man was like this only because of jealousy, he would think the man was
offending the police.
"Well, Julien, let go of the captain. What are you doing?" Sydney tugged the man''s sleeve gently,
signaling him to let go.
Reminded by her, the man pursed his thin lips before letting go of the captain''s hand.
Looking at his red hand, the captain smiled wryly.
The young men were so jealous!
He came here to work, but was thought to be a rival. How ridiculous!
The captain shook his head helplessly and put down his hand.
Next to him, Sydney red at the man. Knowing that the man was obsessive about cleanliness, she
took a handkerchief out of her pocket and passed it over.
"Here you are."
Looking at the handkerchief, Julien put a smile on his thin lips. All his coldness and hostility toward
the captain gone, he said amiably, "Sure enough, only you know me."
He took the handkerchief and cleaned the hand he had used to shake hands with the captain.
Sydney said half angrily and halfughingly, "I just shook hands with the captain, and it was I who
proposed it. Howe you are jealous about such a small matter?"
"I don''t allow it. He''s a man." After cleaning his hand, Julien, who was unwilling to throw the
handkerchief away, put it into his pocket.
Sydney rolled her eyes at him and said, "This is your sophistry. I don''t feel like talking to you."
After that, she turned her head and said to the captain apologetically, "Sorry to have embarrassed
you."
"Never mind." The captain waved his hand and replied, showing he didn''t mind it. But he felt so
speechless about it, in fact.
After all, this was the first time he had been in such a situation.
If not for the man''s noble status, he wouldn''t have forgiven him so easily.
He was not one that anyone could afford to offend.
"Well, Ms. Raines, it''ste. Then we''ll take the person away." Not thinking further, the captain
adjusted his police cap and said to Sydney seriously.
Sydney nodded and pointed to Madeline being held by two security guards in the middle of the
meeting table, saying, "Okay, sorry to have troubled you people. The person is over there. Go take
her. If you need to ask anything in the following days, we''ll cooperate."
"We''ll." The captain saluted her, then waved his hand, signaling the young officers behind him to
take Madeline from the guards.
Looking at the police officers walking toward her, Madeline shook her head with great fear, as if the
people she saw were not humans, but demons wanting to kill her.
"Don''t, don''te closer, don''te over. Go, go away!" Madeline shook her head and shouted,
trying to drive the police officers away.
But the police officers wouldn''t be driven away by her. Soon they took her from the security guards.
The moment the police officers touched her, she panicked to the bone, ashen and tearful.
"Sister, sister, please save me, save me." She suddenly looked at Sydney with a pleading
expression and shouted with snot and tears, "Sister, ask them to go! Don''t let them take me, okay? I
was wrong. I truly admit I was wrong. I won''t dare in the future. I really won''t dare. Waaa…"
She wept heartily, showing that she truly knew she had been wrong. If someone with a soft heart
saw this, they would think she was a poor girl at the moment.
Even many viewers of the live stream begged for mercy for Madeline.
Since she could not see it, Sydney would naturally not be affected.
But even if she saw it, she wouldn''t be affected.
Others might not know Madeline, but she knew.
Madeline was never one who knew she had done anything wrong.
She didn''t see any sincerity in admitting her wrongdoing in Madeline''s eyes. Instead, what she saw
was only restrained hatred.
This meant that Madeline''s apology was just a lie. She just wanted to win the people''s sympathy,
letting them beg for mercy for her so that she could be freed.
Madeline might be thinking that after being freed, she would take a chance to avenge herself on
her.
Hah, how stupid she was!
"Stop watching." Julien suddenly covered Sydney''s eyes with his hands, nced at Madeline with
dislike, and said with disdain, "Unpleasant to the eye."
Sydney gave a smile.
Julien said again, "You can''t be softhearted. You can''t believe in such a person."
"Got it." Sydney nodded.
"That''s good," Julien replied.
Even in the end, Sydney didn''t utter a word to show she would let Madeline off.
Naturally, the police officers would handcuff her and take her away.
They walked toward the conference room''s door with Madeline.
Seeing she was to be taken out of the room, Madeline finally realized that Sydney wouldn''t let her
off. Then she stopped begging for mercy and struggling, as if she had suddenly epted this
treatment, walking outside with the police officers.
When she got out of the room, she suddenly stopped.
As she stopped, the police officers escorting her also stopped.
She turned her head and stared venomously at Sydney, her eyes wide open and bloodshot.
"Sydney, you wait. I remember all this today. When I''m out, I won''t let you off. Never!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the captain smacked the back of her head with his police cap.
The captain looked at her with a dark face, "How dare you threaten someone with such crazy words
in our presence?! This is another crime. Go!"

Madeline was taken away like this by the police.
The reporters all recorded the process, and viewers of the live stream all saw it.
Then Madeline''sw vition act as a celebrity became an unshakeable fact.
It was believed that she could not get rid of this image even after being released from the police
station.
"Don''t take the woman''s words to heart," Julien held Sydney gently in his arms and consoled her in
a low voice.
He was afraid that Madeline''s threat had scared her.
But Sydney looked up at him and shook her head with a smile. "Don''t worry. I won''t take them to
heart. This is not the first time she has threatened me. Every time she gets embarrassed because
of me, she will threaten me with a few words before leaving. I''m already used to it."
Julien said with a frown, "Even so, you can''t let your guard down. Even if she can''t beat you, you
can''t be sure she won''t do harm to you in the dark."
"You''re right." Sydney nodded thoughtfully.
Julien stroked her hair and said, "But don''t worry. I won''t give her any chance to hurt you."
Undoubtedly, Madeline''s threat had angered him.
In his eyes, threatening the person he cared about the most in his presence was an act of ying
with fire.
Then he would let Madeline have the most unforgettable detention.
Julien narrowed his eyes, which were freezing.
Sydney did not notice it. She left his arms and picked up the microphone, making the final closing
speech of the press conference.
After the speech, the people in the meeting room began leaving.
Soon only she and Julien were left in the room.
Julien walked up to theputer Sean had operated earlier, pulled out the sh drive, and handed
it to Sydney. "To destroy the rumors, I yed the surveince video in it this time, but don''t y it
anymore in the future. I don''t want you to expose your past torments to everyone because it will
remind you of everything you''ve gone through. That is so cruel to you."
Seeing the care for her in Julien''s eyes, Sydney felt warm and took the sh drive with a smile.
"Actually, it''s fine. I''ve long been out of the shadows of the past. Then, when I look back at my past,
I don''t think it''s disturbing. Now I''m strong enough. Such things can''t hurt me."
