Sydney smiled faintly. "Simple. Call the cops!"
Luke looked over in surprise. "Darling, didn’t you say ...?"
"Hm?" Sydney gave him a warning look.
He immediately made a zipping motion at his mouth and fell silent.
Sydney continued, "Ms. Madden said that she didn't do it on purpose, but we're convinced that she did. It’s difficult to discern the truth since we have differing opinions, so how about we leave the investigation to the police?"
Julien caught the brilliant glint in Sydney's eyes and knew in his heart that her motive was not that simple. She might be planning something. Just as he was about to remind Lyra, Lyra already said, "Sure."
She agreed with a smile on her face, but she laughed at Sydney for being a fool in her heart. Sydney wanted to call the cops?
There was no monitoring. What was the point of calling the cops?
Sydney pretended not to see the mockery in Lyra's eyes and applauded, smiling. "Great. You've made the right choice, Ms. Madden. Luke, since Ms. Madden agreed, hurry up and call the police. Remind the police to bring in a hypnotist along with them when they come."
"A hypnotist? What for?" Luke took out his phone, unable to react for a while.
Julien narrowed his eyes. His deep gaze locked on Sydney’s bright face.
Sure enough, he guessed that she would not just be calling the cops.
However, he did not expect this to be her true motive.
Lyra also reacted and gradually went pale.
Sydney looked at Lyra’s face and her smile deepened." To investigate the truth, of course. I heard that to deal with some of the more stubborn suspects, the police will hire a hypnotist to come over and hypnotize the suspects. That way, the suspects will unknowingly take the initiative to explain the crime."
"That’s right!” Luke slapped his thigh excitedly." That's a great idea.”
"Of course, that's not enough. Luke, remember to broadcast the process live for an audience to watch during the hypnosis. If it's proven in the end that Ms. Madden did it by accident, then we'll drop the matter and I'll admit that I was just unlucky. However, if it was intentional... Hm?"
Sydney pretended to be puzzled looking at Lyra." What's wrong, Ms. Madden? Why are you shaking so much? Your face is pale and you're sweating so much too. Are you sick?" "She’s not sick, she’s guilty. After all, she's going to have her face slapped later.” Luke mocked loudly.
Lyra bit her lips fiercely. Fear and panic raged in her heart. She really detested Sydney.
This woman was simply the devil. Not only did she come up with the idea of calling a hypnotist, but she also wanted to broadcast it live to an audience. That was the same as executing her!
''Julien...” Lyra’s eyes were teary as she looked at the man beside her for help.
The man rubbed his temples. His eyes held a bit of fatigue.
Perhaps he was wrong from the beginning. He should not have been soft-hearted and agreed to hide the truth when she begged in the morning.
Now that things had developed to such a state, it was almost impossible to settle it peacefully.
"Sydney, there’s no need for a hypnotist and the live broadcast. There’s no need to escalate things so much. That’ll only intensify the conflict between the Madden family and Skylight." Julien looked at Sydney.
Sydney suddenly realized something and clenched her fists. Her eyes looked at him, devoid of emotion." President Flint, if you're stopping me from calling a hypnotist and hosting the live broadcast, can I assume that you admit that Ms. Madden did it on purpose?"
Why else would he not let her call a hypnotist and broadcast it?
That was proof enough!
"That's not all, darling. I think President Flint already knew that Ms. Madden did it on purpose, but he helped her hide the truth instead." Luke crossed his arms and sneered.
"Is that true?" Sydney stared at the man.
The man was silent for a long time before saying," Yes."
"Wow! I'm speechless!" Sydney's hand squeezed tighter and tighter. Her nails dug so deeply into her palm that it hurt to even look at.
However, that pain was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.
This was the man she loved and had loved for so many years. For Lyra, he could throw away his morals. It let her sigh in amazement.
"I finally recognize what kind of person you are today, President Flint. The most ridiculous thing is that I wasted six years of my youth on someone like you!" Sydney's laugh was filled with ridicule.
