Julien's eyes flickered for a moment, and he didn't say anything.
Sydney was even more silent.
The meeting room was quiet all of a sudden, and a pin drop could be heard.
After a while, Luke jumped up in anger. "Well, it looks like I was really right. The person behind the trouble is your suitor. I feel that Syd suffered from all this aggression and scolding because of you, Julien. This is the second time, right? Greta and now another one. Will there be a third one next time? Huh?"
He questioned loudly.
Julien wrinkled his brows for a moment and then stood up. "This matter was indeed caused by me. I will give an explanation to Leaf."
"Hmph, what's the use of it?" Luke sneered disdainfully. "You have so many suitors. After you handle this one, there will certainly be a new one. Why should Syd suffer all the time? If I had known such things would happen, I would never have agreed to Syd's getting back together with you. You are the bane of her life."
Julien's pupils shrank. He looked at Luke with hostility. "What did you say? The bane?"
"Am I wrong?" Luke stared at him with no fear. "Julien, ask yourself. Which of the threats and dangers that Syd has suffered so far has nothing to do with you? Oh, the only one is Madeline. Apart from her, do you dare to say the others have nothing to do with you? Lyra, the Madden family, the Sullivan family, and this suitor. Syd may be dragged down by you if things go on like this."
Julien clenched his fists. This time it was his turn to be unable to retort.
Indeed, all the troublemakers Sydney had encountered, except Madeline, did have something to do with Julien, and it could even be said that he caused all these things.
He had, indeed, caused her a lot of trouble.
"Sydney." Julien closed his eyes slightly and then gazed at Sydney. "Do you also think that I caused you trouble?"
Although he knew it was the truth, he cared more about her thoughts.
If she also felt that he had caused her trouble, he...
No, no matter what she thought, he would not break up with her, nor would he allow her to leave him.
She could only be his for the rest of her life.
Julien's eyes flashed emotionally.
"Not exactly." Sydney finally gave Julien a look and shook her head slightly. "It's true that these people are involved with you, but they are involved with me too, so the behavior of these people was not caused by you. After all, you have no way to control their behavior. Don't think much about it."
Julien's tightly clenched fists relaxed a little.
Luke was a little upset. "Syd, it has come to this, and you're still speaking for him."
"Luke, I'm not speaking for him. I'm just stating the facts, and it's true that he can't be blamed for all of this," Sydney said with a sigh.
Luke grunted.
Since he couldn't make Sydney vibe with him, he might as well make trouble for Julien.
"Although Syd said so, don't get smug. No matter what, this time, it is your fault, Julien. It is your suitor who caused Syd to carry this unwarranted scolding, so if you do not solve it well, I will not let you go." Luke pointed at Julien and warned.
Julien answered coldly, "I don't need you to remind me."
After those words, he looked at Sydney again. "Just now Luke said that you were going to test me. What do you mean by 'test'?"
Luke also wanted to know the answer, and he looked eagerly at Sydney without blinking.
Sydney, under two men's gaze, knew that she couldn't hide it anymore and let out a long breath.
"Before I answer, I'd like to ask you a few questions." Sydney's gaze fell on Julien's face.
A trace of surprise flashed across Julien's eyes. He nodded gently. "Go ahead. I will tell you whatever you want to know."
