"Did Madeline say anything unusual to me?" Sydney straightened her back and frowned. She asked Julien in return, "What do you mean?"
She didn't understand why he asked her such a question.
'In court, Madeline said some strange words to me indeed. Madeline asked me if I wanted to know who my biological parents were.
'Did Julien mean that?'
Of course, Julien felt Sydney's suspicion of him in her words. He lowered his head slightly and said calmly, "I mean if Madeline scolded or threatened you in court."
"It turns out that you mean that."
She was relieved in her heart.
Originally, she even thought that he was afraid that she had gotten to know something.
He compressed his lips. "That's what I mean. Then what do you think I mean?"
"Nothing special. I have overthought it." She waved her hand and said with a smile, "Of course, she scolded me. You know how she hates me. When she saw me, it was natural that she became emotional."
He nodded. "Right. In addition to that, did she do anything else to you?"
Sydney shook her head. "She didn't. Although she rushed towards me and wanted to beat me, the court bailiffs stopped her. Also, she was handcuffed. Thus, I was safe."
"That's good." He nodded slightly and was also relieved.
'Although I haven't asked Sydney if Madeline told her anything about her parents, I'm sure that Madeline hasn't told Sydney from my conversation with her and her calm tone.
'If Madeline has told her anything about her parents, she wouldn't be so calm.
'Anyway, now that Madeline hasn't told her that, I'm relieved.
'I know Madeline is anxious to tell Sydney that the Maddens are her parents to take revenge on her and smash her belief of taking revenge on the Maddens. If so, she will fall into painful despair.
'I can stop Madeline from contacting outsiders in the detention center and the prison, but I can't stop Madeline from seeing Sydney in court.
'To stop Madeline from telling Sydney the truth desperately, I requested the staff of the court to keep an eye on Madeline and not allow Madeline to get close to Sydney. What was more important, I requested the staff not to give any chance to Madeline to reveal the identities of Sydney's parents to Sydney.
'During the whole court, I had been extremely stressed. I was unable to be there and didn't know if the staff of the court would keep an eye on Madeline as I requested. Thus, when I worked in the company, I was absent-minded and glanced at the watch from time to time.
'When I felt that the court was almost over, I couldn't wait to call Sydney to confirm the situation.
'During the few seconds that she didn't answer my phone, I was extremely nervous. I was afraid that she didn't answer my phone because she had known who her parents were and collapsed.
'Luckily, the result isn't that terrible.'
Thinking of that, Julien supported his forehead with one hand and recovered his equilibrium finally.
Sydney looked at the bored Hunter and said on the phone, "Alright, Julien. I would like to hang up first. I need to get down to business with Hunter. You will have a meeting later, right? I will get out of your hair first. If there is anything else, let's talk about it at night."
When Julien heard that she called him "Julien" on the phone, his pupils contracted slightly. He was overjoyed and asked in an exciting and hoarse voice, "How did you call me?"
'She calls me Julien.
'After she divorced me, she always coldly calls me Mr. Flint or President Flint.
'Even after she is with me, she seldom calls me Julien.
'In the past, I didn't think much about it. However, when she called me Julien just now, I realized the difference. When she didn't call me Julien, it sounded aloof indeed.'
