Sydney glared at Luke and hissed, "Don't you expect something good to happen to me?"
Julien also gave a solemn look. Luke was a bit intimidated. He waved his hand and gave a smile. "Sorry, Syd. I was joking. Don't get mad at me."
"Hmph!" Sydney looked away and ignored him.
Seeing her put down her glass of water, Julien asked softly, "Is it about Greta?"
Although Julien asked the question, he was pretty sure of it.
It was Sydney who called the police to report the matter about Greta, so it was the only possible reason Sydney was summoned to the police station.
Julien contacted the police about ZX and the Squirrel team's bosses. If the police wanted to get more details about this matter, they should have contacted Julien, not Sydney.
Therefore, Julien guessed that the police called Sydney because of Greta's matter.
It turned out Julien's guess was right. Sydney nodded her head. "Yes. This case is many days old. Dallin got Greta a lawyer, so getting Greta's conviction took extra effort. I don’t want to compromise, so the case was a dilemma. The police asked me to go to the station to discuss it."
Julien compressed his lips. His brows were furrowed.
Luke was leaning back on the couch, his hands behind his head. He grunted, "In my opinion, we had provided enough evidence that the court should not give the defendant a chance to defend herself. While in the end, she will be punished, the sentence will be postponed. Greta was exempted from the penalty for an additional period of time. It's annoying."
Sydney shrugged her shoulders.
She agreed with Luke.
She thought they had provided enough evidence and that Greta should be sentenced immediately.
But according to the law, Greta was entitled to get an attorney to defend her and try to get a reduced sentence.
While the attorney was trying to get her sentence reduced, she was detained at the police station, but she would not be transferred to prison.
The living conditions in police stations were much better than in prisons.
This was annoying to Sydney.
"It's okay." Julien responded. He suddenly stood up with his hands in his pants pockets. The cold look in his eyes was frightening. "Even though she's only staying at the police station right now, she'll be sent to jail sooner or later. By then, she'll pay her debt."
It was obvious that he would have someone get Greta in trouble in jail.
Sydney and Luke both understood Julien's undertone.
Sydney raised her eyebrows and said nothing.
Luke clapped his hands. "Good idea, Julien. Finally, you prove yourself as a man."
Julien narrowed his eyes and threatened, "Do you want to die?"
Luke shrugged his shoulders and answered, "No."
"Since you don't want to die, shut up." Julien hissed.
He then turned to Sydney and asked, "Are you going to the police station now?"
"Uh-huh." Sydney stretched and stood up. "I just promised the officer I'd be there in an hour."
"OK. I'll go with you." Julien lifted his wrist and looked at his watch.
Sydney smiled, "All right."
Seeing that the two had made their plan, Luke yawned and stood up as well.
"Alright. Since you guys are leaving, I'm not staying here anymore. You guys go to the police station. I won't go with you. I'm going back to my company."
"You should have gone back to your company a long time ago." Julien threw Luke a sidelong glance. "You can't keep following us. Don't you feel awkward always following us?"
Luke was infuriated. He pointed at Julien and retorted, his fingers trembling, "Julien, you…"
"Stop it, you guys." Sydney held his forehead and interrupted Luke, "That's enough. You must have been enemies in your past lives. That's why you always fight in this life. Luke, he didn't mess with you. Why did you mess with him?"
