Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 1047

Since he was calling her at such a moment, he should have known about what happened on the internet.

She just had no idea if he knew who was behind it.

If he knew, what would he do?

Sydney looked at the caller ID, her heart heavy with apprehension. She hesitated for a moment before finally answering the call, her voice barely above a whisper. "Hello?"

"Ms. Raines." To her surprise, what came from the other end of the phone was Zack's voice.

Sean froze, about to ask, when Zack offered an explanation. "It's me, Zack. Mr. Flint is currently in a meeting with some guests. I took the liberty of calling you from his phone."

Sydney realized what was going on.

Her disappointment was palpable as she pursed her lips. She had been hoping to hear Julien's voice.

"What can I do for you, Zack?" she asked wearily, rubbing her temples.

She felt like something was inside gnawing her mind.

"I want to check if you're okay," Zack said with concern. "I've seen what's been going on online."

Sydney wasn't surprised.

She had already figured out the purpose of his call. She had asked out of formalities.

"I'm fine," she replied, shaking her head slightly before narrowing her eyes. "Julien doesn't know about this, does he?"

"No. He's still in his meeting. The guest is quite important to him." Zack nodded and added quickly to avoid any misunderstanding, "It's his teacher, male."

Sydney felt funny.

Zack's emphasis on how important the man was somehow made her upset.

It was not that Julien couldn't have a teacher.

She was just upset about the granddaughter of that teacher.

But she didn't show her unhappiness on the surface. Instead, she forced a smile and said, "I know. He told me about it. I won't overthink it."

"That's good," Zack said, sounding relieved.

"Well," Sydney said, lowering her eyes, "what do you think about the rumor online? Do you think it's true?"

As if he had just heard a joke, Zack pushed up his glasses and laughed. "Is this an IQ test? It's obviously fake. This morning Mr. Flint told me why Mr. Chase and you went to the hotel, and I even helped him deliver a thank-you message to Mr. Houston."

"Do you really believe that it's fake?" Sydney's expression gradually brightened.

Zack nodded. "Of course! It's not just me, but Mr. Flint wouldn't believe it either. You guys love each other. There is no way you'd cheat on him. In fact, I've checked out the photo. Although the man's face was blurred, I could tell it was Mr. Chase. So, you don't have to worry about it. Once Mr. Flint finishes his meeting, I'll tell him everything. We can let him handle it. I believe he won't let those behind the incident and the Squirrel team off the hook."

The Squirrel team risked offending Mr. Flint by spreading such a rumor. Apparently, they were backed by someone.

In short, whoever did this would have to pay the price.

"You sound so sure of it." Sydney lowered her eyes, concealing the complicated emotions in her gaze.

Zack was so confident simply because he didn't know who was really behind all this.

If he did know, would he still be so certain that they wouldn't get away with it?

Zack didn't know Sydney's thoughts, but he sensed that something was off in her words. "What do you mean?"
