"And then?"
"Then..." Sydney's body trembled slightly, and she continued with self-reproach," Then I asked my father if there was anything wrong, and he said he was fine. I believed him and thought he was just worried about the future development of Skylight Corporation. If I had insisted on taking him to a doctor at that time, I might have known earlier that my father had been drugged so that he wouldn't have jumped off the building. This is all my fault! I could have saved him, but I missed the chance because of my negligence.
Julien, I am unfilial, right?”
No, you are not unfilial." Julien took her hand, looked at her seriously and said," After all, no one in this world can prevent what will happen in the next second in advance, and no one would have known that your father’s weird mental state was due to the drug. It's not your fault, so please don't blame yourself. I think if your father were still alive, he wouldn’t let you take all the blame. What matters most now is to find out the evidence that your father was poisoned as soon as possible."
Being reminded by him, Sydney widened her eyes. She no longer looked depressed and said firmly, "You're right. I have to cheer up and avenge my father!"
"That’s my good girl." Julien gently touched her hair and then asked, "Are you hungry? You haven't eaten any food this morning. I guess you must be starving now."
Sydney had wanted to say that she was not hungry. After all, she had no appetite to eat after knowing the truth of her father’s death.
However, before she could say it, her stomach grumbled.
She quickly covered her belly and her face flushed red.
Julien chuckled. Then he stood up, took her hand and walked in the direction of the restaurant. "Let's go. I’ll take you to eat something. Only when you are full can you have the energy to do things, including your revenge."
Sydney moved her lips slightly, but she didn't say anything. She just obediently followed him to the restaurant.
After the lunch, Julien went out.
He had his own work to do here besides attending the engagement party.
Therefore, he didn't stay in the villa with Sydney.
Sydney stayed alone in the villa, waiting for Natalie to send her the message in the afternoon.
Natalie was punctual. At three p.m., she called Sydney and told her about Madeline's whereabouts.
Madeline’s nationality was Beautrea, so the Ferrell family had sent her back to Beautrea.
At the moment, Madeline was already on the plane to Beautrea.
Hearing this, Sydney frowned, because it was too late to stop Madeline.
She had wanted to catch Madeline and question her after finding her whereabouts.
But she didn't expect the Loffe family to take action so fast. They directly sent Madeline onto a plane to Beautrea.
How could she catch her now?
Sydney felt a little headache and rubbed her temples.
It seemed that she had to find a way to get Madeline back later.
Or she would go to Beautrea herself.
Thinking of this, Sydney hurriedly opened the calendar on her mobile phone, intending to find a date to go to Beautrea.
After a short while, Sydney set the date for the end of the month.
At that time, the annual asset-quality review of Skylight Corporation would begin, and she would not be so busy at work, which meant she could have time to find Madeline.
She hoped to know more truths from Madeline so that she should be able to find Brandon, the culprit behind all this.
Sydney clenched her cell phone with uncertainty and looked out of the French window in a daze.
The next day, Sydney and Julien boarded the plane for their return home.
Along the way, Sydney was absent-minded.
She even nearly ran into pedestrians at the airport several times.
If Julien hadn’t stopped her in time, she would have gotten hurt.
"You are still thinking about your father's death?" Sitting in the first class of the plane, Julien closed the magazine in his hand and looked at Sydney, who wore a sullen expression.
Sydney rubbed her cheeks. “How can I forget about it so quickly? It still has to take me at least a few days.”
If her father had really committed suicide, she would have accepted the fact more calmly.
