As the man listened to her words and admitted his mistake, Sydney's heart softened.
She waved her hand and said, "It's alright as long as you won't do it again. But why did you suddenly do that just now?"
"Because I'm so happy," Julien said with a smile.
"Happy?" Sydney looked sideways at him and asked, "What are you happy about?"
"Your promise." Julien's lips curled further. "You said that as long as I won't betray you, you won't leave me no matter what difficulties we face. Since I'll never fail you in my life, that's considered a lifetime commitment, and it makes me happy."
He chested out proudly.
Sydney could imagine that he was wagging it if he had a tail.
'Does that make him so happy?'
Sydney shook her head and chuckled. "Even so, you shouldn't have suddenly stopped the car. It was dangerous."
"Don't worry. I promise I'll only hold and kiss you in safe places."
Sydney blushed and grunted, "Bah! That's not what I mean. I just want you to be careful on the road."
"Okay." Julien nodded perfunctorily.
Of course, he would be careful.
But he still needed to hug and kiss her.
This kind of opportunity needed to be earned.
He couldn't hope for her to take the initiative, could he?
Seeing his perfunctory response, Sydney knew what he was thinking. She found it both funny and annoying.
But she decided to let him be.
After all, even if she argued with him, he would not listen.
They chatted and laughed along the way to the police station.
Brandon and Dallin, however, were in trouble.
Julien's revenge had finally come.
Brandon was the first to bear the brunt.
At that moment, he came out of the conference room with the investigators.
Then, both sides stopped at the door.
Brandon shook hands with the leader of the investigation team, and a friendly smile appeared on his sickly face. "Mr. Sharp, thank you for your hard work."
"It's our job," Mr. Sharp responded with a smile. "I should thank you, Mr. Madden, for your cooperation in the past few days despite your illness. We're sorry for the disturbance."
"No worries," Brandon politely replied. "I'm the chairman of this company, and it's my obligation to show you around and introduce you to everything here. This is also my responsibility to Trison Corporation. Furthermore, the investigation will end tomorrow, and after that, I can focus on recovering."
"Alright. This is all for today, and we're going back to the hotel. Take a good rest, Mr. Madden."
Mr. Sharp withdrew his hand and said, "We'll see ourselves out."
"Please, let me escort you downstairs." Brandon made an inviting gesture.
Mr. Sharp nodded and started to walk off.
Brandon followed behind him.
And the subordinates trailed behind them.
They slowly headed to the elevator.
