Chapter 864 Aggrieved Julien


    She remembered she was at the police station at that time, so how could she be in her room?


    Sydney rubbed her brow, unable to figure out how she had gotten back. She turned her head


    toward the floor-to-ceiling window.


    Outside the window, although she couldn''t see the sun, it was blindingly bright.


    She remembered that she had gone to the police stationst night, so what time was it?


    Sydney withdrew her gaze from the floor-to-ceiling window and hurried to look at the bedside table.


    The phone, as always, was there.


    She twisted around, grabbed the phone, lit the screen, and checked the time. When she saw that it


    was 8:30, she gasped.


    8:30!


    She recalled thatst night at the police station, she was a little sleepy, so Julien let her lean on him


    to take a nap.


    She agreed then and fell asleep. She had no memory of what had happened after that.


    Apparently, she didn''t wake up from that moment until now.


    In other words, she slept until 8:30 in the morning and missed the opportunity to meet and question


    Greta.


    And who questioned Greta?


    Julien or the police?


    Sydney immediately put her phone down and looked toward the door.


    The next second, the door opened, and a tall figure walked in with a ss of water in his hand. It


    was Julien.


    Julien did not wear a neat suit as usual. He had changed intofortable pajamas.


    The beige pajamas made him look less cold. He looked gentler and more approachable.


    Julien came in and met Sydney''s gaze. He was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that


    she would be awake.


    Julien quickly collected his thoughts and revealed a slight smile. "You are awake."


    Sydney nodded, clenched her hands on the quilt, and asked in a hurry, "Julien, did Greta go to the


    police stationst night?"


    "Yes." Julien held the ss of water and sat down on the edge of the bed.


    Sydney stared at him. "Then why didn''t you wake me up? Didn''t I tell you to wake me up when


    Greta arrived?"


    Julien coughed softly with a guilty face. "You were sleeping soundly, and your sleeping face was so


    cute that I couldn''t bear to wake you up."


    "You..." Sydney angrily rolled her eyes.


    She was astonished by his reason.


    She had thought it was because of Greta''s absence that he hadn''t woken her up.


    "Don''t be mad. Drink some water." Watching Sydney''s face turn red with anger, Julien hurriedly


    handed over the water while coaxing her.


    Sydney was indeed a little thirsty at that moment. Looking at the ss of water in front of her and


    Julien''s eager face, she immediately cooled down.


    Yet she pretended to be annoyed and red at the man before she took the ss and drank some


    water.


    Port City had little rain in winter, so the air was dry. Even though the humidifier in the room had been


    working, Sydney''s throat felt dry when she woke up in the morning.


    Therefore, she usually put a ss of water for herself at night on the bedside so that she could


    drink it the next morning.


    Last night she fell asleep, so she couldn''t prepare it.


    But Julien was so thoughtful that he took the initiative to bring it for her just after she woke up.


    Thus, how could she be angry with him?


    After drinking water, Sydney passed the ss to Julien. "Tell me. What happened after Greta went


    to the police stationst night?"


    Julien held the ss in his hand. There was still some water in it.


    He stared at the edge of the ss where her lips had just touched for a few seconds. Suddenly, he


    pressed his lips on it and tilted his head to drink the rest of the water.


    Sydney flushed as she saw this.


    This was an indirect kiss.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    She was speechless.


    When Julien drained the ss, Sydney gently pulled his arm. "Come on. Say it."


    Julien put the ss down and chuckled, "After Greta came, I went to see her. She did not admit it at


    first and kept arguing. Later, I yed that man''s words I had recorded in the interrogation room to


    her. After listening, she naturally admitted her crime."


    Hearing this, Sydney smiled, "Great, but..."


    She looked at Julien. "You recorded it in the interrogation room? Howe I didn''t know that?"


    "I had quietly turned my phone recorder on before I went into the interrogation room, yet there were


    police there, and I couldn''t remind you, so I didn''t tell you," Julien answered.


    Sydney could understand why he had not reminded her.


    Both the intiff and the defendant were not allowed to record privately at the police station.


    So even though Julien''s status was high, he couldn''t openly go against thew. He could only do


    that secretly.


    "The police didn''t get upset when they saw you y the recording?" Sydney looked at Julien and


    asked.


    Julien let out a lowugh. "So what? I had recorded it when they found out. Besides, I''m Julien Flint.


    They had to turn a blind eye."


    If they had caught Julien recording, they would have stopped him.


    However, it was toote.


    So the police could do nothing with Julien.


    Sydney looked at Julien''s smug face, covered her lips, andughed, "You''re really something. Did


    the police say what to do about Greta after that?"


    "Not yet." Julien shook his head seriously. "If Greta were just an ordinary person, the police would


    apply to prosecute her after she admitted her crime, but it is not so simple this time. They can''t


    settle the case until Greta''s true identity is found out. Even I can''t change it."


    "I see." Sydney nodded. "I understand. After all, Greta''s true identity is still unclear. A normal person


    will not fake an identity. Who knows if she is a spy or a fugitive? Naturally, the police will not settle


    the case so soon."


    "It''s good that you can understand." Julien stroked her hair. "But don''t worry. Greta will be


    punished."


    "I''ve always believed that." Sydney nodded and then sighed, "It''s just a pity about those two outfits."


    A few million dors was wasted.


    Even if Gretapensated, she wouldn''t do it right now.


    They had to wait until Greta''s identity was figured out and she was tried.


    That would take a long time.


    "It''s okay." Julien looked at Sydney and smiled slightly, "In the morning, I already asked Zach to


    prepare a new dress for you. It will be different from the previous one, but better. You won''t refuse


    me again, right?"


    He lowered his head slightly and rested his forehead against hers.


    Sydney sighed, "Of course not. I don''t have any money left."


    She couldn''t afford to buy another dress, and she didn''t want to rent one.


    Renting a dress for a party would be a p in the face to the owner of the mall.


    She would not be that stupid.


    So she could only ept Julien''s help.


    "Why do you think so?" Julien gently pinched Sydney''s nose. "My money is yours. It''s just that you


    don''t want to ept it. Grandma asked me if I had bought you anything. I said yes, but you always


    rejected my gifts. Grandma didn''t even believe my words. She thought I was stingy and scolded


    me."


    Speaking of this, Julien looked aggrieved.
