"Sydney, you misunderstood me. Since I am your elder, how would I want to harm you?" Stephen was an old fox who was able to keep calm even when Sydney revealed his dark side. "I didn't mean anything else by this. I just think that since Mr. Flint is with you, there are some things about your past that he should know. You can't hide them from him. Otherwise, it will be unfair to Mr. Flint. What do you say, Sydney?"
Sydney laughed mockingly, "Mr. Dayton, you're always so plausible."
"You must be joking."
"But it's a shame." Sydney stared at him coldly. "You don't think Julien already knew about what you said, do you?"
"What?" Stephen froze for a moment.
Sydney added, "Or do you think that you, an outsider, know more than he does?"
She was completely composed now.
At first, she was really worried that Julien would mind what Stephen had said.
Although she got close to Luke and the other two men, they were just friends.
She did nothing wrong, but she was afraid that Julien would overthink and feel jealous.
After all, this guy was jealous even when she received a call from a man. Stephen mentioned that she was close to Luke and the others. Julien would naturally be upset.
Then she had to coax him. She was unsure if she could cheer him up.
This was what she was really worried about when she first heard Stephen's words.
It turned out that her fear was superfluous. Julien gave her a look when he lifted her chin just now.
That look told her clearly that he was a little jealous but not unreasonable.
What was in the past should not be brought to the present to affect their current life.
Besides, he also told her that he knew there was nothing between her and Luke and the others, who were just in unrequited love with her.
So even if he were angry, he would not be angry with her, but with Luke and the others.
Knowing this, she was completely relieved, and she could deal with Stephen without worries.
"Leaf is right." Julien took Sydney's hand and squeezed it gently. "She had several men around her, but that was before she got together with me, so I won't blame her, and I'm not qualified to blame her. I even have to thank those men around her. If they hadn't been protecting her and helping her, she wouldn't have taken over Skylight so smoothly. And I know well about their relationships with Leaf. They're just friends. Otherwise, with my possessiveness, I wouldn't let them go."
Stephen was stunned again.
He thought, 'What kind of person is this?
'His woman was surrounded by so many men, but he doesn't mind it and instead wants to thank those men.
'Julien must be crazy!'
Stephen was confused.
