When Sydney got out of the car just then, she looked very different from usual. It was easy to tell that something was wrong with her.
Julien was worried that something had happened to her.
Hearing Julien's words, Luke stopped stretching his arms. He said to Julien with a sneer on his face, "Julien, I heard from Sydney that you've given up on her and that you’ve been distancing yourself from her recently. So why are you asking now? What's going on? You don't want to give up on her anymore?"
Julien's eyes darkened. "It's none of your business. Just tell me what’s wrong with
Sydney."
"Why should I answer you? Since you've decided to give her up, anything about her is none of your business and you're in no position to ask." Luke crossed his arms around his chest. It looked like he wasn't going to tell Julien because he didn't think there was anything Julien could do to him anyway.
Julien's eyes narrowed slightly, and a chill glimmer flashed across his eyes. "Luke, do you think I can’t find it out if you don't tell me?"
Luke was confused, "What do you mean?"
"1 know Sydney went to your home tonight, so..."
Julien picked up his phone and dialed a number.
Soon, the call came through. A voice familiar to Luke came from the other end of the line, "Mr. Flint." "Mom?" Luke was stunned to hear his mother's voice on the other end of the line. He looked at Julien incredulously and asked, "How do you have my mom's number? Do you know each other?"
Zach pushed his glasses upward and answered with a smile, "Mr. Chase, didn't you know that your mother and Mrs. Flint went to college together?"
"My mother and Julien's mother went to college together?" Luke was so surprised," How is that possible?"
"It is." Zach shrugged his shoulders, "Not only did they go to college together, but they were also very good friends. Your mother's beauty salon was a joint venture with Mrs. Flint. But after Mrs. Flint died, her shares were inherited by Mr. Flint, so Mr. Flint and your mother were business partners. Of course, they knew each other."
The corner of Luke's mouth twitched after Zach explained it. "What the hell? How could I don't know it?"
Luke didn't have a clue about it.
Julien was sitting in his car. After hearing Luke's mother's answer, his face changed color, "What? You told Sydney about her origin?"
Luke was standing outside the car. When he heard Julien's words, he immediately stepped to the door and grabbed the window frame. He stared at Julien and hastily asked, "Julien, you know Sydney wasn't the Raines' daughter?"
Julien ignored him. He said to the phone, "I see. Thank you."
Then Julien put the phone down.
Luke gritted his teeth and asked again, " Julien, you knew all along that Sydney wasn't her parents' real daughter, didn't you?"
"It's none of your business." Then he turned to Zach, "Let's go."
"Okay." Zach responded. He then asked Luke to step away from the car.
Julien closed the car window.
Luke tapped on the window angrily." Julien, don't go! Open the window and explain clearly! How did you know Sydney wasn't the Raines' daughter? And when did you know it? Julien, tell me!"
Julien heard Luke's shout, but he ignored him. He closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
Zach pulled open the car door and got in. Then he started the car and drove away as Luke glared at them angrily.
