Julien was not stupid. He knew what Mr. McDaniel was up to. Mr. McDaniel wanted Julien to break up with Sydney, so he said those things to belittle Sydney.
Julien was surprised that Mr. McDaniel had such a traditional concept about marriage. Mr. McDaniel believed that for a couple, both their families should be on an even keel.
For many prominent families, it was important that the husband and the wife should be from the same class, but Julien didn't care about that.
The Flint family didn't need to get a business alliance through a marriage.
Flint Corporation was already a top business empire. The business had become an industry leader in any field it set foot in.
Julien had no problem marrying a woman with an ordinary family.
He believed that marriage was his own choice. He was the one who was going to spend his life with his wife, not anyone else, and therefore no one else was in a position to judge.
As long as his marriage to Sydney did not hurt anyone else, no one was in the position to object to their marriage.
He was shocked when he learned that Mr. McDaniel tried to get him to break up with Sydney and marry a woman who was the right match.
Julien thought Mr. McDaniel would like Sydney, and he had planned to bring Sydney to see Mr. McDaniel someday.
He couldn’t believe that Mr. McDaniel was against him marrying Sydney.
He guessed that he had better not bring Sydney to see Mr. McDaniel so that Mr. McDaniel would not make Sydney unhappy.
Julien wondered when Mr. McDaniel had become so realistic. Julien had never known Mr. McDaniel to be so realistic or had Mr. McDaniel became realistic as he grew older.
But anyway, no one would ever try to interfere with him and Sydney or tear them apart.
Julien's face was solemn, and a resolute look was in his eyes.
At that moment, footsteps came from outside the door.
The next second, the footsteps stopped and someone knocked on the door. "Mr. Flint."
Zach had returned after walking Mr. McDaniel out.
Julien collected his thoughts and answered, "Come in."
Zach pushed open the door and got into the room.
Julien poured himself a cup of tea and asked, "Is Mr. McDaniel gone?"
"Yes. I walked Mr. McDaniel downstairs and watched him get into his car. After his car drove off, I came back." Zach reported to Julien.
Julien nodded. Then he took a sip of tea and asked, "Now tell me: What happened to Leaf?"
"Yes." Zach then told Julien what had happened online.
After hearing Zach's brief account, Julien got angry. His face darkened, and he gave off a frightening aura.
He looked at Zach with a sullen face and questioned, "Why didn't you tell me about such an urgent matter earlier?"
Zach hastened to explain, "Mr. Flint, I've only just learned of this matter. I was at home in the morning. I came into the office about a half hour ago. Then I heard the staff gossip and learned about it. As soon as I knew about it, I called Ms. Raines with your phone and told her not to worry and that I would take care of it. I then got the PR department involved to delete those badmouthing comments and find out the media outlets that were spreading the gossip. After I did that, I came to see you."
After hearing Zach's explanation, Julien knew he had wronged his assistant. His face eased a bit, but his aura was still frightening. "Give me the phone," Julien demanded.
"Yes." Zach hurriedly took Julien's phone out of his pocket and handed it to Julien.
Julien grabbed the phone to see if there was a message from Sydney, but he was disappointed. Sydney hadn't sent him a message. He furrowed his brows.
But then he remembered that Zach had called Sydney, so he guessed that was the reason Sydney hadn't sent him a message.
