When Julien was lost in thought, Zach drove the car and asked suddenly, "Mr. Flint, it has been three days since it happened. Has Ms. Raines come up with a solution?"
Julien frowned.
'Has she come up with a solution?
'I guess that she has come up with a solution.
'After all, during the past three days, I haven't seen any anxiety or worries on her face. I'm sure that it isn't because she is good at acting.
'It's quite possible that she has come up with a solution, so she's able to get along with me as usual. Otherwise, she would have given herself away, and I would have noticed it.
'Thus, she has come up with a solution.
'But is the solution really workable?'
Seeing that Julien kept silent, Zach didn't feel surprised. He turned the steering wheel and added, "I guess that Ms. Raines hasn't come up with a solution. As far as I know, the components are crucial to Skylight Corporation. If they fail to find them back, the result will be extraordinarily severe. Currently, there are only two suitable solutions. One is to get the components back. The other is to use money to make up for the loss caused by the lost components. I'm afraid that Ms. Raines doesn't have so much money. Or she's reluctant to take out so much money."
Zach stopped and looked in the rearview mirror at Julien, who sat in the backseat.
'Mr. Flint has given his supplementary card to Ms. Raines.
'As long as she is willing, she can use Mr. Flint's card without limit at any time.
'Thus, Ms. Raines can afford the money. The key is whether she is willing to take out the money.
'I guess that Ms. Raines is unwilling to use Mr. Flint's money.
'She is even reluctant to tell him that. How can she be willing to use his money?'
As expected, what Julien said next proved Zach's guess.
Julien lowered his head and said slightly, "She won't use my money."
"I knew it," Zach sighed. "Why is Ms. Raines so stubborn? You're her big backer, but she insists on relying on herself. She is still not powerful enough and unable to solve a lot of things by herself properly. Why bother?"
'If I were Ms. Raines, and Mr. Flint were my backer and were willing to give me money, I would be overjoyed to use his money.'
Zach couldn’t understand Sydney's thoughts.
"Mr. Flint, is it because Ms. Raines hasn't trusted you totally?" Zach glanced at Julien and guessed.
Julien narrowed his eyes and glanced at Zach coldly. "Shut up."
'She hasn't trusted me totally?
'Absolutely not.
'She must trust me totally.
'She's just reluctant to be too dependent on me.'
But Julien still felt disturbed by Zach's words.
Zach knew that he shouldn't have said so. He withdrew his neck, fell silent, and focused on driving.
Julien took out his phone, opened WhatsApp, and found Sydney's account. It seemed that he wanted to say something to her.
But he didn't type any words after he put his fingers above the typing bar for a while.
Finally, he moved his fingers away and exited WhatsApp.
He didn't know how to ask her why she didn't tell him.
He knew the reason. It wouldn't make any difference even if he asked her.
'I will ask for an explanation after I take the components back for her.
'I also need to have it out with her for some things. I can't give in easily just because she looks confident.
'What has happened this time clearly tells me that being softhearted isn't a good thing.
'At least for the current situation, it's not a good thing for her.'
At that same time, after Sydney dealt with a document, she suddenly felt panicked and uneasy.
