Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 1060 Sydney's Questioning

Julien's eyes flickered for a moment, and he didn't say anything.

Sydney was even more silent.

The meeting room was quiet all of a sudden, and a pin drop could be heard.

After a while, Luke jumped up in anger. "Well, it looks like I was really right. The person behind the trouble is your suitor. I feel that Syd suffered from all this aggression and scolding because of you, Julien. This is the second time, right? Greta and now another one. Will there be a third one next time? Huh?"

He questioned loudly.

Julien wrinkled his brows for a moment and then stood up. "This matter was indeed caused by me. I will give an explanation to Leaf."

"Hmph, what's the use of it?" Luke sneered disdainfully. "You have so many suitors. After you handle this one, there will certainly be a new one. Why should Syd suffer all the time? If I had known such things would happen, I would never have agreed to Syd's getting back together with you. You are the bane of her life."

Julien's pupils shrank. He looked at Luke with hostility. "What did you say? The bane?"

"Am I wrong?" Luke stared at him with no fear. "Julien, ask yourself. Which of the threats and dangers that Syd has suffered so far has nothing to do with you? Oh, the only one is Madeline. Apart from her, do you dare to say the others have nothing to do with you? Lyra, the Madden family, the Sullivan family, and this suitor. Syd may be dragged down by you if things go on like this."

Julien clenched his fists. This time it was his turn to be unable to retort.

Indeed, all the troublemakers Sydney had encountered, except Madeline, did have something to do with Julien, and it could even be said that he caused all these things.

He had, indeed, caused her a lot of trouble.

"Sydney." Julien closed his eyes slightly and then gazed at Sydney. "Do you also think that I caused you trouble?"

Although he knew it was the truth, he cared more about her thoughts.

If she also felt that he had caused her trouble, he...

No, no matter what she thought, he would not break up with her, nor would he allow her to leave him.

She could only be his for the rest of her life.

Julien's eyes flashed emotionally.

"Not exactly." Sydney finally gave Julien a look and shook her head slightly. "It's true that these people are involved with you, but they are involved with me too, so the behavior of these people was not caused by you. After all, you have no way to control their behavior. Don't think much about it."

Julien's tightly clenched fists relaxed a little.

Luke was a little upset. "Syd, it has come to this, and you're still speaking for him."

"Luke, I'm not speaking for him. I'm just stating the facts, and it's true that he can't be blamed for all of this," Sydney said with a sigh.

Luke grunted.

Since he couldn't make Sydney vibe with him, he might as well make trouble for Julien. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

"Although Syd said so, don't get smug. No matter what, this time, it is your fault, Julien. It is your suitor who caused Syd to carry this unwarranted scolding, so if you do not solve it well, I will not let you go." Luke pointed at Julien and warned.

Julien answered coldly, "I don't need you to remind me."

After those words, he looked at Sydney again. "Just now Luke said that you were going to test me. What do you mean by 'test'?"

Luke also wanted to know the answer, and he looked eagerly at Sydney without blinking.

Sydney, under two men's gaze, knew that she couldn't hide it anymore and let out a long breath.

"Before I answer, I'd like to ask you a few questions." Sydney's gaze fell on Julien's face.

A trace of surprise flashed across Julien's eyes. He nodded gently. "Go ahead. I will tell you whatever you want to know."

"That's good." Sydney smiled faintly.

Luke shivered, feeling that something was wrong with her.

Even Luke sensed it, so how could Julien not sense it? He looked at Sydney with a hint of suspicion.

"In the morning we did a video call, and you said you were going to meet your teacher, right?" Sydney asked, lowering her eyes and looking at her bright red nails.

Julien nodded his head.

Sydney continued, "What kind of person is your teacher?"

"Why are you asking that?" Julien narrowed his eyes.

Sydney smiled faintly at him again. "You just need to answer me."

Julien looked fixedly at her for a while and then replied, "He is a very learned person, especially in economics. Although the current development of economics is too fast for him to keep up, he enlightened me a lot in economics. I respect him."

"So, Mr. McDaniel holds an important place in your heart."

"Yeah," Julien responded.

As long as Mr. McDaniel didn't interfere in Julien's personal affairs, Julien would always respect him.

But that was not clear to Sydney.

All she knew was that Julien acknowledged that Mr. McDaniel was important to him.

"What about Mr. McDaniel's character?" Sydney asked.

Luke looked at her and then at Julien, asking, "Syd, does his teacher have anything to do with you testing him? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Julien was also eager to know the answer.

Sydney didn't answer or even look at Luke. Her gaze still fell on Julien's handsome face. "Answer me. What about Mr. McDaniel's character?"

"What's wrong?" Julien felt that Sydney was now even stranger than he had thought.

Sydney took a breath, suppressed her irritation, and said, "Answer me. Don't ask anything else. I really want to know about this."

At this point, Julien naturally understood that Sydney had something on her mind.

"Okay, I don't know why you want to know about Mr. McDaniel so much, but since you want to know, I'm willing to tell you." Julien finally gave in. He said slowly, "Mr. McDaniel used to be very kind, good-tempered, and very fond of his juniors, but this was my impression of him a few years ago. Now, I am not very clear. Mr. McDaniel has changed a lot."

Today, Mr. McDaniel showed dislike for Sydney, and he was not amiable at all when he mentioned Sydney. His temper had become very bad.

Mr. McDaniel didn't even like to listen to Julien's rebuttal. He almost had an asthma attack and fainted.

This was the first time Julien had seen Mr. McDaniel like this.

In short, the only thing Julien could be sure of was that Mr. McDaniel had changed in many ways.

"A few years ago?" Sydney pursed her red lips. "So, you haven't seen each other for years?"

"Mr. McDaniel's granddaughter went to study abroad seven years ago, and Mr. McDaniel went abroad for treatment. He only came back some time ago." Julien nodded.

Sydney bit her lip. "It seems that you don't know your teacher very well now."

"Maybe." Julien nodded and asked, "Can you say the reason why you asked all this?"

"There's no rush." Sydney shook her head. "I'm not done asking yet. I want to know your impression of your teacher's granddaughter."
