"Yes." Sunny nodded in shame. "I didn’t agree in the beginning. I struggled, but in the end, I failed to overcome my inner greed.”
"Yes, greed..." Sydney lowered her eyes and murmured.
The next moment, she clenched her phone and shouted emotionally, "But did you know? Your greed ruined my love and my marriage!"
"I... I didn't know..." Sunny was stunned.
She just made Sydney miss her meeting with her pen pal.
How did she end up ruining Sydney's love and marriage?
Sydney closed her eyes. When she reopened them, her mood had calmed down.
She pursed her red lips. "Sunny, you better watch yourself!"
After saying that, she ended the call directly and tossed the phone on the desk. Her head was slightly lowered, making it so no one could see the expression on her face.
However, the deadly silence around her revealed how heavy and pained her mood was at that moment.
She thought, 'If Sunny didn't help Lyra back then, would Buddy and I have been able to meet smoothly?
'I'd have found out that Buddy was my crush, Julien, and Julien would also find out that I was the Maple Leaf he loved.
'Wouldn't we be living happily by now?
'However, there are no ifs. So many things have happened. It’s impossible for Julien and I to return to the past.’
At that thought, Sydney rubbed her cheeks and regained her composure. She picked up the landline on the desk and called Sophie in.
"What can I do for you. President Raines?" When Sophie looked at Sydney and found that her eyes were a little red, she quickly asked, "President Raines, were you crying?"
"No." Sydney's eyes flickered for a moment before she changed the topic. "Anyway, go to a detective office to investigate a person for me."
"Who is it?" "Her name is Summer Jensen. She's my university classmate. Find out where she's working now and who her boss is!"
Sydney's eyes narrowed slightly as a harsh light flashed in them.
She did not care why Sunny betrayed her. Betrayal was betrayal, and betrayers should be punished.
She would let Sunny taste the consequences of betraying her!
"Understood." Sophie nodded and immediately went to do as she was told.
Meanwhile, in the Maybach.
Zach drove while looking at Julien in the rearview mirror. After hesitating for a while, he could not help his curiosity and asked, "President Flint, have you made everything clear to Ms. Raines?"
Julien looked out the window. His eyes flickered for a moment, and he hummed.
Zach's eyes lit up. "Then, has Ms. Raines forgiven you?" "No." Julien pursed his thin lips.
Zach almost accidentally slammed on the brakes. "No? How could that be? Didn't you tell her that you were her pen pal? Why is she still refusing to forgive you? Didn't you tell her that you mistook Lyra for her?"
"I did, but what's bothering her is about how I never recognized her in the six years I've been married to her," Julien said in a faint voice.
"That's true." Zach's lips twitched.
Soon, he said, "If I were Ms. Raines, that would also be what I’m more concerned about. I can accept that you mistook someone else for me, but if you didn't recognize me for six whole years, I'll definitely be unhappy. However, it’s not like you didn't want to recognize Ms. Raines. You were hypnotized. If you weren't hypnotized, I'm sure that you would've found out early on that Lyra was fake."
Julien remained silent and did not speak.
Zach suddenly thought of something and asked with wide eyes, "President Flint, when Ms. Raines heard that you couldn't recognize her because you were hypnotized, didn't she..."
"I didn't tell her I was hypnotized," Julien parted his thin lips and replied.
Zach was dumbfounded. "Why not?"
Was he stupid?
