Julien hesitated, obviously somewhat tempted by that proposal.
Dr. Sullivan added, "Moreover, since your fiancee influences you, you can also try finding the cause from her. Maybe she knows something. After all, she's the only one who benefits from this."
"You're right, Doctor. I know what to do. Sorry for the trouble today." Julien extended his hand toward Dr. Sullivan.
Dr. Sullivan took his hand. "It's no trouble, President Flint. You can contact me anytime if you have any questions."
"Sure." Julien nodded and called Zach in from outside. "Send Dr. Sullivan out."
"Of course," Zach responded and swept his hand out in an inviting gesture.
He sent Dr. Sullivan to the elevator and waited until the latter went inside before returning to the president's office.
"President Flint, are you alright?" Zach asked with concern.
Julien shook his head. "I'm fine. Call a few more psychologists for me." "What's the matter with you, President Flint?" Zach
was startled.
One psychologist was not enough, and he wanted to find more?
Was President Flint's mental illness that serious?
Julien glared at him impatiently. "Just do what I tell you to. What's the fuss?"
"I'm just concerned about you." Zach pouted.
Julien rubbed his temples. "Okay, enough already. Also, investigate if Lyra sought a psychologist six years ago or in these few months, especially a psychologist good at hypnosis."
He suspected that he might have been hypnotized by Lyra. After all, Lyra was the one who benefited the most from it all.
Of course, even if it was not Lyra, it was definitely related to her.
At that thought, he added, "Investigate Mr. and Mrs. Madden as well."
"President Flint, are you talking about Dr. James? Dr. James knows how to perform hypnosis. If Ms.
Madden wants to find a psychologist, he would be the first one she looks for." Zach reminded him.
Julien's eyes narrowed as a cold glint flashed in them. "In that case, focus on investigating Finn."
"Shall I continue investigating Ms. Madden and the Maddens as well?" Zach asked.
Julien looked at him with dissatisfaction. "What do you think?"
"Of course! I'll check!" Zach straightened his back.
Only then did Julien look away.
They definitely had to be investigated. Personally, he believed that if it was really Lyra and the Maddens who hypnotized him, they would not get Finn to do it as everybody knew that Finn and the Madden family had a good relationship. Asking Finn to hypnotize him was too risky since the Madden family would naturally be exposed once Finn was exposed.
Thus, a smart person would certainly choose another psychologist. Of course, there were no absolutes, so it was better to check anyway.
In the two days that followed, Julien met several well-known psychologists.
However, their diagnosis was exactly the same as Dr. Sullivan's. They all said he had not been hypnotized and that he was very normal.
While those results were disappointing to Julien, they also made him start to doubt himself.
If one psychologist said that he had not been hypnotized, the diagnosis might have been wrong.
However, so many psychologists said he had not been hypnotized, so there was no way he was.
In that case, were all those things he found odd just in
his head?
No, his intuition told him no. It was all true. However, it was not due to hypnotism but something else.
"President Flint, I've investigated the situation. In these six years, Ms. Madden and the Madden family have not made any contact with psychologists other than Dr. James. Dr. James also didn't know psychology six years ago since he only went abroad to study it during those six years. He only returned after Ms. Madden woke up three months ago, but you haven't had any contact with him these six years.
Although you've encountered him several times these months, he hasn't done anything to you." Zach handed over his investigation report.
Julien took it and looked at it silently. Then, he lowered his head. No one knew what he was thinking about.
"By the way, President Flint." Zach continued, "Ms. Madden was worried you wouldn't answer the phone, so she called me and had me tell you that she wants to ask you out for dinner today and talk to you. I think she wants to take the initiative to make up with you."
For the past few days, Julien had refused to meet her.
She was panicking.
"Got it. Agree with her." Julien lowered his eyes and said calmly. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
He had not finished his conversation with Brandon last time, so it would be a good opportunity to tell Lyra personally.
Zach did not know what was going on in Julien's head and was a little surprised to hear him agree to go to the appointment.
'Does President Flint want to make up with Ms. Madden?"
Zach's lips twitched at that thought, feeling a little upset. However, he remained calm and nodded. "Of course. I'll reply to her right away."
In the evening, Julien went to his appointment on time.
Meanwhile, Sydney and Layden also came out for dinner.
Luke originally wanted to come as well, but something suddenly cropped up at his company, so he was held back and could only watch as they went out together.
"Sydney, you can head in while I find a place to park." Layden, with a pair of sunglasses on, rolled down the window and looked at Sydney, who was standing on the curb after getting out of the car.
Sydney nodded. "Okay. Hurry up."
"Will do." Layden smiled gently, rolled up the window, and drove the car ahead.
Sydney lifted the bag chain on her shoulder and prepared to enter the restaurant.
Suddenly, she felt a gaze staring at her.
She subconsciously turned around to see a person staring at her.
It was a man dressed in a white shirt and white pants, and he had waist-length hair.
To Sydney's amazement, the man was very beautiful.
Yes, beautiful. Although beautiful was not quite an appropriate word to describe a man, she could not think of any other word to express the man's looks other than beautiful.
It was the first time she had seen such a beautiful man.
The beautiful man's eyes were also very special. They were light gray, looking as if they encompassed the entire universe.
However, when he looked at her, his eyes were devoid of warmth, much less any emotions. He looked at her as if he was looking at something dead, which made her shudder.
'This man is dangerous!'
As soon as that thought instantly emerged in Sydney's mind, she clenched her fists, maintaining high vigilance, and asked, "Hello, sir. May I ask why you're looking at me like that? Do we know
each other?"
The man's thin lips parted slightly. His voice was the same as his eyes, cold and emotionless. "You should stop influencing him. At this rate, I'll have to break my promise to that person."
"Wait. What?" Sydney was confused. "What do you mean by influencing him? Who's 'him'? And who's the other person you're talking about?"
She did not understand a word he said.
However, the man closed his lips and did not say anything else.
Sydney was just about to ask him to elaborate when Layden's voice sounded behind her. "Sydney."
She turned around. "Lay, you're back."
Layden jogged over with a smile. "Sydney, didn't I tell you to enter the restaurant? Why are you standing here alone?"
"Alone?" Sydney was stunned. "I'm not alone. I was just talking to a gentleman. He's right here... Huh?
Where is he?"
Sydney turned back around and was just about to introduce him to Layden when she saw that no one was opposite her. The man had walked away at some point.
"What gentleman? Sydney, what are you talking about? " Layden looked at her in confusion. "No one else is here."
Sydney was shocked for a moment before she shook her head and laughed. "He has left. That’s why you didn't see him." "I see." Layden nodded. "Who was that person?"
Sydney shrugged. "I don't know, but he was quite attractive. He just felt a bit unhinged and said some puzzling words to me."
She fell deep into thought as she recalled the man's words earlier.
That man probably knew her.
However, the strange thing was that she had never seen him before.
