"President Flint!" At that moment, the office door was pushed open by Zach. He hurried in without knocking on the door.
Julien frowned, somewhat displeased. "What is it?"
Zach did not answer immediately but looked around the office as if searching for something.
Julien pursed his lips and said in a cold voice, "What are you looking at?"
"President Flint, where's Ms. Raines?" Zach asked.
Julien thought of his behavior earlier and could not help but touch the corner of his lip. He lowered his eyes and said in a light voice, "She left."
"She left?" Zach raised his voice.
Julien rubbed his temples and walked over to his desk. "Why are you looking for her?"
"President Flint, did you forget? I just came back from Twinriver District." Zach followed behind him.
Julien subconsciously stopped and turned around, fixing his gaze on Zach. "What do you mean? Are you trying to say that Maple Leaf has something to do with Sydney?"
His heart beat gradually grew quicker and quicker.
Zach nodded heavily. "Yes. When I went to Twinriver
District and found Maple Leaf's previous address, it turned out to be Raines villa."
"Sydney... is Maple Leaf!" Julien's eyes widened. His fists on his sides clenched tightly and trembled faintly.
Zach quickly responded, "Yes. Ms. Raines is 100% Maple Leaf. Maple Leaf said that she has a stepmother and sister, raised a dog named Ditto, and lives in Raines villa. Who else can Maple Leaf be besides Ms. Raines?"
He was a little breathless after saying so much, so he took a deep breath to adjust his breathing before he continued, "Most importantly is Ms. Raines and Maple Leaf's handwriting. Maple Leaf's handwriting is a little childish and not as mature as Ms. Raines', but it can be seen that they're the same person. However, we never even thought about that. Even Ms. Raines' life is the same as Maple Leaf's, but we didn't bother to think about it. It's too strange!"
Zach hammered his head. "I'm starting to wonder if there's something wrong with my IQ."
Julien pounded his fist on the desk, the veins on the back of his hand bulging. "No, there's nothing wrong with your IQ. Someone just doesn't want us to think in this direction."
The Flint family and Zach all knew about him and Maple Leaf, but no one realized that Sydney was Maple Leaf.
What did this mean? It meant that everyone was influenced by that force.
Zach did not know what Julien was thinking and stared in surprise. "President Flint, are you saying that someone doesn't want us to know that Ms. Raines is Maple Leaf? Is it Lyra? But that can't be..."
Zach shook his head and rejected his own speculation. "It's normal if Lyra doesn't want us to know that Ms. Raines is Maple Leaf, but she can't stop our brains from thinking. However, none of us even considered that Ms. Raines was Maple Leaf. It's too unbelievable."
"Do you believe that there are unknown forces that can control a person's thoughts and feelings in this world?" Julien suddenly looked at him and asked.
Zach froze and then laughed. "Of course. It's hypnosis..."
At that point, he suddenly realized something and opened his mouth. "President Flint, was that why you hired a psychologist before? I thought it was because you felt too much psychological pressure. Did you suspect that you were hypnotized?"
From what Julien said earlier, he seemed to be implying that Zach was hypnotized as well!
Julien's eyes were dark and deep. He did not say anything, which meant that he tacitly agreed.
Although Dr. Sullivan and the others said that he was not hypnotized, he still believed that he was indeed hypnotized.
It was just that Dr. Sullivan and the others were unable to diagnose it.
Maybe the person who hypnotized him was much more amazing than Dr. Sullivan.
Zach patted his face, completely dumbfounded. "How could this be...?"
Julien lowered his eyes. "Go and contact the world's top hypnotists. The more, the better."
"Yes!" Zach's expression froze and he hurriedly answered.
If they were hypnotized, they naturally had to find top hypnotists to break it.
