"No need!" Sydney frowned and put her arm behind her back, bluntly refusing Julien.
Julien's hand froze mid-air, and after a while, he tightened it into a fist and withdrew it. The disappointment welled up within him.
"Sydney, I'm sorry..." Cayden lowered his head and apologized once again. His expression was extremely remorseful.
He did not mean to hurt her.
He just could not control the anger in his heart and unconsciously did it.
When Sydney saw the usually gentle young man looking so melancholic, she suddenly realized that he looked like a big dog who did something wrong. Her heart softened.
She ruffled his hair and put on a tender smile. "Don't worry. I'm not angry."
"Really?" Layden lifted his head and looked at her with glimmering eyes.
Sydney nodded. "Really!"
Only then did Layden put down the apprehension in his heart and smiled again.
Julien found the entire scene painful to watch.
Of course, he was more concerned about Layden's personality.
Julien's intuition was telling him that Layden was a dangerous person.
"Sydney, follow me there. I have an important matter to talk to you about." Julien frowned and his face was solemn. When Sydney saw his serious expression, she thought that it was something important and her heart sank. She nodded and agreed.
"Sydney?" Layden's bad mood resurfaced once more.
Sydney patted the back of his hand and said, "I'll be quick."
After saying that, she walked toward the corner where Julien pointed to earlier.
Julien did not spare Layden a glance when he walked there as well.
Layden stared at the two of them in the corner and his eyes were bloodshot. He clenched his fists tight, and they were trembling. Even his veins were popping all over.
He certainly wanted to kill Julien. He would then kill Hunter and Luke as well. He wanted to get rid of all these people who might take Sydney away from him.
After killing all of them, he would bring Sydney overseas and put her in the cage he specially made for her. In this life, she would never be able to leave him, and she would only have him in her heart.
In the corner, Sydney turned to face Julien and asked, "President Flint, what do you want to tell me?"
"Stay away from Layden Lowe," Julien said sternly.
"What?" Sydney was stunned and widened her eyes in disbelief. "You called me here saying that you have something important to tell me, and it’s to tell me to stay away from Cay? Are you sick?"
She angrily sneered and wanted to leave.
No wonder he had to call her to the corner. He did not want to let Layden hear it!
"Wait!" Julien pulled her arm and stopped her.
"Let go!" Sydney swept his arm away.
Julien refused to let go. “Sydney, I'm serious. Layden is a dangerous person.
You'll get hurt someday if you continue to stay so close to him."
Sydney was enraged. "Hurt? Julien Flint, don't you think it’s funny for you to say this to me? He’s my brother and I know him well. He's gentle and kind, so he'll never hurt me. Aren't you the one who hurt me?"
She gave him a mocking smile.
Julien felt like he was stabbed by her words and said nothing else.
She was right. The one who hurt her was him.
Even though he did not intend to, and he was not in control over himself back then, it was still him who did it. He could not deny it.
When Julien said nothing, Sydney swept his hand away and warned, "Don't mention anything about Cay or Luke hurting me in the future!"
After saying that, she gave him a cold glare and walked toward Cayden.
Julien put his hand on his chest as he felt a dull ache there.
He clearly remembered how indifferent he was toward her for the past six years.
