Then, he clicked on the first video.
Julien watched as Sydney calmly snubbed the parents. When they questioned Jayden's competence, she let the children compete to see who won best out of three games.
It turned out that Jayden went to Sydney that day because he wanted to take part in the tryout. He did not dare to go to Julien for help, so he went to Sydney instead.
Julien's brows wrinkled slightly. He was a little unhappy about Sydney secretly running to Jayden's school to help him, but he patiently watched the video.
"Play well. If you lose, you'll be embarrassing your brother.''
In the video, Sydney handed a towel to the teenager and said a few words to him. When Jayden looked up, his eyes stayed on her face for more than ten seconds. Hunter shot the video from the side, so Julien could not see what expression the woman had on her face.
After that, he clicked on the next video.
Sydney sat in the middle of three tables and was playing cards with the parents. Hunter, who was recording the video, asked if she was not afraid of Julien blaming her for this. Sydney's face remained calm as she replied.
"He's free to condemn me as he wishes.
"He needs to reflect on himself.
"Reflect on how he should act as an older brother. Watch how Jayden wants to live his life. Don’t wait until something happens before he regrets it."
This woman secretly helped his brother and even wanted him to reflect on himself?
Julien laughed in anger.
In the large office, there was also another man wearing a baseball cap and Zach present.
The man stood in front of the mahogany table with his head bowed, trembling.
When the man felt the air around Julien become colder, his body shivered involuntarily and he whispered, "P-President Flint, it was Ms. Madden who took the initiative to find me that night. She told me to go to that room and plant the bug...
"I took a total of 30,000 dollars. They're all in this card. I haven't touched a single penny," the man spoke and put a bank card on the table.
The man had already spoken several sentences, but Julien continued to remain silent. That invisible pressure made the man almost unable to breathe.
"I-I was wrong, President Flint. Please be magnanimous and let me go." The man's knees were shaking. He almost knelt on the ground. "I'll tell you
everything Ms. Madden wants me to do in the future."
Julien moved his eyes away from the phone and looked up at him. "How many minutes is the total audio recording?”
Hunter said he saw a man sneak out of Sydney’s room that night when he cleaned up the monitoring. After doing a background check, he said the man was a newspaper reporter who privately took this kind of work to make extra money. He suspected that it was this reporter who released the audio.
One hour ago, Julien told Zach to contact the man. When the man entered his office, Julien did not even have to ask and the reporter confessed everything.
"More than forty minutes," the man immediately replied, "I already installed the bug before there were people in the room. The recording I released was after editing."
The man nimbly took out the bug from his bag and put it on the table. "This is the recorder. There’s no backup copy. I give you my word."
Julien picked up the recorder, his eyes were dark and obscure.
The man-made car accident six years ago, coupled with the reporter's matter, caused suspicion to gradually bloom in Julien’s heart. Was this "gentle" but actually ruthless and scheming woman who caused the car accident and made him marry someone else really the "Maple Leaf" he corresponded with six years ago?
He wrote countless letters to "Maple Leaf”. Through them, he knew all about Maple Leaf.
The girl on the other end of the letter was passionate and loved life, and many of their ideas always coincided with each other. On the other hand, while the awakened Lyra was clearly by his side, they were never able to talk together. She seemed to be far away from him.
After a long time, Julien snapped the recorder and destroyed the tiny chip inside.
