Luke said what Sydney meant, so she shut her mouth and acquiesced.
Julien's hands were clenched again, his knuckles crackling.
Julien stared at Sydney, saying clearly and firmly, "I'm not going to let you break up with me, and I'm not even going to give you that chance."
He'd loved her for over a decade. He'd once lost her and then almost risked his life to regain her.
How could Julien allow Sydney to break up with him?
He wouldn't even let her think about it.
Sydney saw Julien's meaning in his eyes, her heart trembling. Finally, she said, "So, you are planning to choose me rather than your teacher, right?"
In front of Luke, Julien held Sydney in his arms, his big hand pressed against the back of her head. He said with a devout expression, "Yes."
Although Sydney expected this, hearing Julien say this, she was surprised for a while.
She gently retreated from Julien's arms, tilted her head to look at him, and replied, "Are you sure? It is not your teacher but his granddaughter who did it, but I think Mr. McDaniel wants you to let this matter go to protect his granddaughter. If you are not willing, will he accept it?"
"Come one." Luke rolled his eyes. "I've seen Mr. McDaniel twice before. He's just an old man who indulges his juniors, especially Erin. Erin is the only girl in the McDaniel family that has a lot of boys, so you can imagine how much the McDaniel family loves her, and Mr. McDaniel dotes on her. They haven't realized that she was spoiled, and they only think that is her nature. They are even proud of it."
While Luke was speaking, his face suddenly became full of contempt. "Syd, have you heard of that? Eight years ago, I went to a party. The McDaniel family also attended it. Originally, the atmosphere was quite harmonious. All the people drank and chatted with each other very happily. However, after a short while, a group of young ladies argued. Do you know why?"
Sydney shook her head, "No, I didn't attend the party you mentioned."
Eight years ago, Sydney's dad was still alive and was the president of Skylight.
But by that time, Skylight was already declining.
That was why the hosts of many parties didn't invite the Raines family.
Naturally, Sydney couldn't attend this party, let alone know what had happened at the party.
So Sydney looked at Julien as if asking, "Do you know about this?"
Julien slightly shook his head. "I don't know. I didn't attend this party either. There were too many parties. How could I have the time to go to every party?"
Sydney's mouth twitched.
She knew that he wasn't bragging. After all, with his status, receiving invitations to all the parties was a normal thing.
Even if he didn't go to them, no one would say anything about it.
