Zach turned and left.
Julien picked up his phone. Among the two options of calling Sydney or messaging her, he finally chose to use WhatsApp. [ Zach sent those two over to you. Please wait a little longer.]
Sydney was sitting on a chair in the lobby of the police station. She took out her phone and looked at it when she heard it vibrate in her bag.
When she saw the message, her expression turned happy and she hurriedly typed: [All right. Thank you.]
Julien quickly replied: [No need to thank me. Also, I've helped you deal with those two men.]
Deal with them?
Sydney was confused. [What do you mean?] [JulienFlint: You'll know when they arrive.] Since he was keeping her in suspense, she pursed her red lips and put away the phone, not asking anymore.
He did not tell her when she asked once.
Thus, there was naturally no need to ask him a second time.
At that moment, a familiar voice sounded not far away.
Sydney raised her brows and looked up to see Kate standing face to face with a female officer, talking.
The female officer seemed to be admonishing Kate. Kate lowered her head and nodded repeatedly, saying, "I know. I won't do it again."
When Sydney saw that Kate was wearing normal clothes instead of the orange jumpsuit, she knew that Kate's detention was over.
She did not expect it to be so coincidental. She came to the police station to make a report, but she ended up seeing Kate being released.
'However, wasn't Kate supposed to be detained for 20 days?
'It hasn't been 20 days left. Why is her detention over?'
At that thought, Sydney got up and walked over.
The crisp sound of her high heels attracted the attention of Kate and the female officer.
The two stopped talking and both turned to look over.
When Kate saw Sydney, her expression immediately changed, and she hid behind the policewoman. It was as if Sydney was some sort of ferocious beast.
Sydney's lips twitched.
What was going on?
Was Kate that afraid of her?
"Ms. Raines," the policewoman glanced at Kate behind her and greeted Sydney with a smile.
Sydney nodded. "Hello, officer. I want to ask, is Ms. Morgan’s detention over?"
When the female officer heard this, she immediately understood Sydney's purpose and replied with a smile, "Yes. A few days ago, Ms. Morgan saved a fellow inmate who suddenly fell sick, so her detention is ending early because of meritorious contributions."
"Merit?" Sydney's face lit up in surprise. Then, she squinted at Kate behind the policewoman and said, "I didn't know that you could do good deeds as well."
"Why can’t I do good deeds?" Kate grew bold with the policewoman in front of her and glared at Sydney.
Sydney smiled coldly. "Why do you think so? I don't believe that a person who went to the detention center for trying to harm me multiple times would do things out of the kindness of her heart.”
She looked at Kate with deep eyes.
Kate felt guilty and subconsciously looked down.
'This woman is too sharp.
'It's true that I didn't save that cellmate out of kindness. I just want to get out of detention as soon as possible.
‘The last time I was here, I heard that I could get out early on good behavior, but it's so difficult to get merit in the detention center. A cellmate suddenly got sick, so I naturally couldn't miss that opportunity. I chased away another cellmate who wanted to take advantage of the situation as well and saved the sick cellmate.
'Unexpectedly, Sydney saw through my true intentions so easily.
'But so what if she saw through my thoughts? So what if she knows I didn't save that person out of the goodness of my heart? It doesn’t change the fact that I saved her anyway!'
At that thought, Kate stopped feeling guilty and raised her head high. She threw a provocative look at Sydney.
