Chapter 741 Move to Your ce
Sydney knew what he was talking about. And she was shocked. "You''re saying Mrs. Madden still
thinks I''m rice? That''s why she acted that way?"
Julien nodded slightly. "Besides, there is no other reason to exin why Mrs. Madden changed her
attitude when she saw you."
Sydney thought about it for a while. "You''re right. I can''t think of any other exnation for this. Mrs.
Madden hated my guts until today, but I bet they know how ridiculous their suspicion is now. The
real rice is right beside them, after all. They should have known I''m not the real rice."
"Brandon has probably gotten over it and knows you''re not rice, but Mrs. Madden hasn''t figured
it out. As I said, she still thinks you''re rice. Women are always more sentimental than men when
ites to matters like this. In particr, she is a mother." Julien looked at her.
He did not tell Sydney that even if Mrs. Madden knew Sydney wasn''t her daughter, the thought that
Sydney could be rice wouldn''t be that easy to wipe out of her mind once it had formed.
Every time Mrs. Madden saw Sydney, she would be reminded of that thought. And she would act
weirdly around Sydney.
For example, Mrs. Madden would be concerned about Sydney and pay more attention to her.
If this went on, Mrs. Madden would care more about Sydney. And she might even have feelings for
Sydney.
Moreover, blood bonds were always mysterious.
When that time came, Mrs. Madden would suspect that Sydney was rice again.
Sydney didn''t know what he was thinking. She agreed with his analysis. Then she nodded. "You''re
right. Women are always more sentimental than men are. I can see why Mrs. Madden acts so weird
around me."
Julien had mixed feelings about the matter, so he changed the topic. "And what did Denna say to
you?"
She pouted. "She told me something even weirder. She asked me if I thought I was rice."
Julien''s face darkened. "Did she really say that?"
Julien thought, ''What was she doing? Isn''t she worried Sydney might suspect something?''
Sydney nodded. "Yeah. She told me all that because she''s jealous. And she did it on purpose."
"Is that so?" Julien squinted.
Sydney sneered. "She told me that Brandon suspected that I might be rice after he watched the
press conference, and she asked me that because she was worried I might take her ce and trick
the Maddens so I could take revenge on them. Something must be wrong with her. How on earth
did shee up with such a ridiculous idea?"
She said resignedly as she pointed at the side of her head.
Julien was silent for a while.
He never thought Denna could actuallye up with a good exnation for such a tant lie, and
Sydney even bought it.
Thinking of this, Julien looked at her.
Julien thought, ''I don''t me Sydney. She wouldn''t think she was the real rice, nor would she
even have that idea in the first ce. She has to believe in Denna. Even if she knows Denna is
lying, she won''t admit it.''
Julien lowered his head as he said, "Don''t take what she said to heart."
"I know. I don''t care about stupid stuff like that." She said as she smiled.
Julien grunted, then he asked, "Did Mrs. Madden ask you any other questions?"
He wondered if Mrs. Madden had asked Sydney if she had a red mark or a birthmark. If Mrs.
Madden had asked about it, there would be a problem.
Fortunately, Sydney shook her head. "No."
Julien heaved a sigh of relief in silence. "Good to hear."
Upon hearing his words, Sydney looked at him curiously. "You sound relieved that she didn''t ask me
anything else. Are you hiding something from me?"
"No." Julien put on a calm look and held her hand as he said calmly, "I''m just worried Mrs. Madden
might ask you some hard questions and mock you."
"Don''t worry. She didn’t do that this time." Sydney shrugged. "And since she cared about me for
some reason, I didn''t argue back like I always did. It was the first time we got along peacefully.
Honestly, it''s not bad."
Sydney felt great about it.
Even if she didn''t argue with Mrs. Madden, after all, she and Mrs. Madden were enemies. And
usually it would be annoying for her to stay with Mrs. Madden in a confined space, but not this time.
She didn''t feel any animosity from Mrs. Madden, nor was there any tension in the air.
She just felt awkward, and she had mixed feelings about it. Overall, it was a nice experience, and
she didn''t feel ufortable.
Sydney was wondering why she could get along with Mrs. Madden that one time. When Julien saw
her expression, he pursed his lips.
Sydney didn''t know the reason, but he did.
It was because they were mother and daughter. They knew nothing about this, but they had a
bonding. It was a magical thing.
Even if two brothers were separated from birth and had no idea they had a sibling, they''d still feel
close to their brother if they saw each other one day.
That was how powerful bonds were. That was why Sydney could get along well with Mrs. Madden
and didn''t even argue with her.
However, he couldn''t tell her that. He knew it was unfair to her, but it was for her own good.
Besides, he wasn''t nning on hiding it from her forever. He would tell her who she really was after
Brandon died.
Once Brandon passed away, the Maddens would fall. And Julien wouldn''t have to worry about
Sydney''s breaking down because of her identity in the feud between the Maddens and the Raines.
"You spaced out again." Sydney noticed Julien spacing out again. Then she stared at him as she
propped her head up and stared at him.
Upon hearing her words, Julien quickly snapped out of it. His eyes flickered.
Sydney was about to ask him what he was thinking about and why he spaced out twice when the
divider rolled down.
Zach looked at them in the rear-view mirror. "We have arrived at Shallow Bay, Mr. Flint, Ms.
Raines."
"That''s fast." She forgot about her questions and rolled the window down. Then she saw Shallow
Bay was right in front of her.
"I kept talking to you. And I didn''t pay attention that we had arrived here." She rolled the window
back up.
Julien chuckled. "That means I''m all you think about."

"You''re such a narcissist." She rolled her eyes, but she didn''t refute that.
Julien beamed.
Sydney noticed the look in his eyes, and she felt embarrassed. Then she turned away. "I''ll get out
now."
She said as she got out of the car right away.
Julien opened the door and got out, too. And then he told Zach, who had just got out of the car.
"Take the luggage up."
Zach mumbled a response and then went to the trunk.
Sydney was confused. "What luggage?"
Julien didn''t answer, so Zach did it for him. "It''s Mr. Flint''s clothes and necessities. He said you
wouldn''t move to his ce so soon, so he opted to move to your ce instead and asked me to
pack his stuff."
Zach took tworge suitcases out of the trunk. The luggage reached Sydney''s waist. When she saw
it, the corner of her lip twitched. "You really think of my ce as your home, huh?"
