Zach was not surprised by Julien's decision. He nodded and said, "I understand."
"Go ahead. Bring these with you,” Julien pinched his nose bridge as he said that.
Zach took the documents in his arms.
Not long after Zach left, Julien’s phone rang, and it was Jayden.
"Bro, I saw your press conference!" On the other side of the phone call, Jayden was drenched in his sweaty basketball uniform, and he had just done an intense practice.
However, his voice was notably delightful.
Julien leaned backward. "So?"
So, I'm here to congratulate you!" Jayden wiped his sweat. "Bro, congratulations on ending your misery!"
Julien smiled. “Thank you. Good luck in your game. I'll be hanging up.”
When he heard Jayden's rapid breathing, he knew that he must be in the middle of a game.
The U17 expedition match had reached its climax recently, and they had to play two to three matches per day. Jayden must have called him during his break time.
"Wait! Don't hang up!” Jayden took off his towel and shouted.
Julien frowned. "What’s the matter?”
"It's nothing. I just want to ask you about the things on the news... That Lyra has been ... You know... Is it real?" Jayden asked.
He just saw it through social media and he did not read through the details. He was still wondering if it was true.
Julien nodded. "It is."
"Oh my..." Jayden sucked in a deep breath and was shocked.
However, he quickly gained his cool and said, "It's just karma. She did so many horrible things to Sydney, so this is what she deserves."
Something flashed across Julien's eyes.
Jayden's words reminded him that Lyra’s biggest enemy was Sydney. This matter could likely be related to Sydney.
Of course, he did not think that it was Sydney who did it. With Sydney's personality, her way of revenge would be through legal means and not through such methods. However, those around Sydney were different.
So, was it Luke or Cayden?
Or... Hunter?
When Julien thought of how these three of them looked at Sydney, his expression darkened and he irritation welled in his heart.
They all liked Sydney, and they were all suspects who did that to Lyra because of Sydney.
"Bro? Bro?” When Jayden did not get a reply from Julien, he called out for him.
Julien came back to his senses. “What is it?”
"I was asking you something and you didn't answer. What are you doing?" Jayden asked, his tone notably upset.
Julien rubbed his temples. "I just had my mind occupied on something. What is it?" "Why did you decide to annul the engagement right after you got discharged from the hospital?" Jayden repeated his question.
He did not believe that Julien broke up with Lyra because she was vicious, like he said in the press conference.
Jayden knew that Julien had already noticed how malicious Lyra could be long ago. Why did he wait until he was discharged for the engagement annulment?
There must be another reason.
He did not ask back then, but he swore to find out today.
"Did you know that I got together with Lyra at first because I thought she was my pen pal?” Julien said.
