At the press conference, Sydney did not let Kate off as she continued, "Ms. Morgan said on the Internet that I continue to pester my ex-husband after the divorce. She also said that I came in between President Flint and Ms. Madden six years ago and took advantage of President Flint's kindness to marry him. I would like to explain these statements. Except for the last point, all of it is false!"
The audience was shocked at her statement.
A reporter stood up to ask a question. "Ms. Raines, in other words, are you saying that you really did take advantage of President Flint's kindness to marry him?"
"Yes." Sydney looked at the reporter and nodded, admitting it.
Luke, who was standing by the side, was so anxious that he almost jumped to his feet. "Darling, what are you saying?"
How could she say something like that so casually?
In Flint Corporation, Julien could not help but frown.
Even Hunter said puzzledly, "Although it's the truth, isn't she afraid she'll be bashed even more by admitting it? It might harm Skylight as well. What do you think she's thinking, Julien?"
He then looked up at Julien.
Julien pursed his thin lips and did not answer.
In the meantime, in the Madden residence, Lyra was also watching the live broadcast. When she saw Sydney admit to threatening Julien that year, her lips slowly curled up into a grin. She thought Sydney was seeking her own death.
At the scene, there was no change in Sydney's expression as she looked at the excited reporters below.
She knew what consequences her words would bring, but she did not regret it at all.
Then, the reporter asked another question. "Ms. Raines, why did you do that?"
"Why?" Sydney lowered her eyes and then said in a clear but cold voice, "Because I loved him!"
Julien's eyes widened in shock, and his body subconsciously straightened.
He knew that she loved him. He was not blind to her affection during the six years.
However, he did not expect she would publicly reveal her feelings for him.
Julien rubbed his fingers for a moment. A pleasurable feeling welled up in his heart.
Nevertheless, the pleasure did not last long when Sydney's next sentence stopped the feeling from
growing.
She looked at the live camera and said slowly, "But that was in the past. I don't love him anymore!"
Julien's expression shifted, and deep down, he started to panic as if he had just lost something.
Hunter whistled. "Julien, do you think she's telling the truth?"
"Whether it's true or false, it has nothing to do with me! " Julien clenched his fists and replied coldly.
Hunter could tell that Julien was not saying what he meant, so he amusingly. "Really? From my point of view, you don't look like it has nothing to do with you."
"You're wrong." Julien glared at Hunter.
Hunter shrugged. "Fine. I won't say anything."
Then, he looked down and continued watching the broadcast.
The reporter asked again, "Ms. Raines, you loved President Flint and took advantage of his gratitude for you saving Ms. Madden to ask him to marry you. Don't you think you took it too far with that? President Flint and Ms. Madden were already together back then, but you-"
"As I mentioned earlier, I didn't take advantage of the situation to interfere with their relationship. That is all false." Sydney knew what the reporter wanted to say and directly held up the microphone to interrupt her.
"Back then, I didn't even know that they were together. When we were in university, I asked Ms. Madden what her relationship with President Flint was, and she responded that she thought of President Flint as her brother. That was why I was bold enough to pursue President Flint and ask him to marry me..."
Sydney took a deep breath before she continued, "I admit that I was wrong for doing that. That year, Ms. Madden got into a car accident, and I saved her. President Flint asked me what I wanted, so I asked him to marry me. We got married because he agreed. If.."
"If what?" the reporter asked.
Sydney raised her voice. "If I had known that they were already together at that time, I wouldn't have made such a request. I was born into a wealthy family.
I wouldn't stoop so low as to interfere with another person's relationship. My dignity and pride won't allow me to do such a thing."
"In other words, she didn't know about Lyra and your relationship back then?" Hunter looked at Julien in shock.
