Julien repeated Dallin's words.
Dallin chuckled, "If so, I wouldn't have done it. I said I had just intercepted the goods. You don't have to fight me desperately. Moreover, I've decided from the beginning that if you ask me for the parts, I will return them immediately. Then you will have no reason to take action against me."
Because Dallin was so sure of this, he dared to do that.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the risk.
"You know me better than I thought you did," Julien sneered.
Dallin rubbed the handle of his cane and smiled faintly, "You know me well too."
"So if I hadn't come to you for this batch of parts, would you continue to play dumb, keep the parts, let Sydney's company in for trouble, and then laugh at me?" Julien said menacingly.
Dallin kept a smile. "Of course not. I knew you would come to me. After all, we both know Ms. Raines is unable to solve this matter. If she doesn't want Skylight to collapse, she has to agree to let Greta go or turn to you for help. If she had agreed to let Greta go, I would naturally have returned the parts to her, but she refused. So I have to keep the parts. You know Skylight's situation. They are in urgent need of the parts, and Sydney cannot get a large sum of money to tide over the difficulties, so she can only ask for your help. She is your woman, so you naturally cannot stand by and watch. I guessed right, didn't I?"
In fact, from the beginning, Dallin didn't intercept the parts for Greta.
The real purpose was to test how much Julien cared about Sydney. To help Greta was just a small reason. If Sydney were a pushover, she would have agreed to let Greta off.
Even though Sydney refused, Dallin could test Julien's love for her.
In short, no matter what the outcome was, Dallin would not lose. He would get what he wanted anyway.
Dallin thought, 'As it turned out, I succeeded.
'Sydney is very dependent on Julien, and Julien loves her very much.
'Otherwise, why didn't Julien send his assistant over and instead come personally?'
Of course, this was not enough. Dallin wanted to see Julien love Sydney to the point where he could die for her.
If so, Sydney would be very useful to Dallin in the future.
Julien looked at Dallin and said sarcastically, "Unfortunately, you guessed half wrong."
It was true that Sydney couldn't get the money, but she had never intended to ask for Julien's help.
She would rather talk to Luke about how to solve the problem than turn to Julien.
Dallin had thought wrong from the beginning.
As he heard this, Dallin's confident smile suddenly froze. "I guessed wrong? This is impossible. Where did I guess wrong?"
He stared at Julien eagerly.
Yet Julien did not answer him at all and said coldly, "This is not what you should know. Indeed, I will not fight you desperately, but since you intercepted the parts, I will settle scores with you in the future."
Julien's eyes were full of hatred.
Dallin stopped fondling his cane handle with his thumb for a moment. What Julien said made Dallin become a bit annoyed. He fondled the cane handle more quickly than just now, showing his uneasiness.
"Well, then I'll wait for you." Dallin lowered his eyelids. "Now let's go back to my purpose. You just guessed right. My purpose is indeed to help my daughter. Although I don't like her, she is my child. I can't bear to see her like that, so I want you to spare her. Of course, I will give Ms. Raines compensation. I can even double it. What do you say?"
The moment these words came out, not to mention Julien, Zach was going to throw up in disgust.
