Chapter 308 Julien's Flowers
Cayden smiled. "It's nothing. I just wanted to congratulate you on clearing your name."
"Thank you." A smile also emerged on Sydney's face.
Yes, her name was cleared, so she could relax now.
"It's all thanks to Finn." Sydney continued," If he hadn’t taken those two videos, this matter wouldn't have been solved so quickly."
Hearing this, Cayden lowered his eyes and concealed the gloom in them.
'It's all thanks to Finn?
I was the one who released those two videos.'
Ding-dong. The doorbell suddenly rang.
Sydney stood up. "Okay, Cay, let’s stop here. There’s someone at my door."
"Who is it?" Cayden asked.
Sydney walked to the door. "I don’t know. I'll go have a look."
"Okay. Remember to check who’s at the door before opening it. Watch out for your safety." Cayden reminded her in a soft voice.
Sydney nodded. "Don't worry, I know."
After the call ended, she put down her phone and looked at the video intercom to see who it was outside.
When she saw that it was a man in a delivery uniform, she finally opened the door.
"Hello. Are you Ms. Sydney Raines?" the delivery man asked Sydney.
She hummed. "Yes." NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
"These are flowers for you. Please sign here. " The delivery man crouched down and picked up a bouquet of bright red roses on the ground.
The roses seemed to have just been cut. There were still water droplets on its petals, making it shine brilliantly.
Sydney did not take the bouquet and merely looked at the deliveryman in suspicion. "I’m sorry, but are you at the wrong address? I didn’t order flowers.”
"It’s a gift from someone else," the man replied with a smile.
Sydney was even more confused. "Who?" "I don’t know. I'm only in charge of delivering the flowers," he shook his head and replied.
However, the next second, he remembered something and said, "There's a card inside. There should be an answer there."
At those words, Sydney glanced at the roses and indeed saw a card.
She reached out and took the bouquet." Thank you. Have a nice day."
"You’re welcome." The delivery man nodded and turned to leave.
Sydney closed the door and went to the living room, where she picked up the card and opened it. There were several words written on it in cursive: Congratulations on clearing your name.
"It's him!" Sydney frowned slightly and muttered aloud.
Although there was no signature on the card, she knew the handwriting very well. It belonged to Julien.
It seemed these flowers were from Julien. She thought that they were from Hunter.
After all, Hunter always brought flowers or little gifts when he came over to see her.
Unexpectedly, she guessed wrongly this time.
Sydney looked at the bouquet in her arms with complicated eyes.
His act of sending her flowers surprised her.
More importantly, she did not know what to do with this bouquet. Should she throw them away or send them back to him?
Just as she was thinking, her phone vibrated.
Sydney snapped back to her senses and looked down. It was a text message from Julien. [Have you received the flowers?]
Sydney's eyes flickered. She placed the bouquet down on the coffee table and replied: [Yes.]
Julien, who was in Flint Mansion a dozen miles away from Shallow Bay, sat on the edge of the bed in his bathrobe. The bathrobe was half-open, revealing his magnificent chest.
His hair was still wet since it had not been blown dried, and droplets of water dripped down the tips of his hair, trailing across his perfect jawline from his Adam's apple to his clavicle, and finally slipping down to his chest. The entire picture was extremely attractive.
At that moment, he was holding a towel in his hand and about to dry his hair.
Suddenly, the phone that he had tossed to the side lit up, and his eyes brightened as well. He immediately draped the towel around his neck, forgetting to wipe his hair, and grabbed the phone to unlock it.
Sure enough, it was a reply from Sydney. His heart leaped with joy.
However, when he saw that her reply was just a single "Yes", the joy in his heart suddenly faded considerably.
From that "Yes", he could not imagine how she felt when she received the flowers.
Pinching his temples, he could not help but sigh and asked directly: [Do you like them?]
Sydney raised her brows.
Was he asking whether she liked this type of flowers, or was he asking whether she liked that the flowers were sent by him?
Sydney did not know and could not be bothered to guess which one it was, so she replied ambiguously: [They're fine, but please don't send such things in the future anymore, President Flint. People will misunderstand]
Julien frowned.
Misunderstand?
He thought that after today's incident, her attitude toward him would at least improve a lot. Even if she still refused to accept him, at least she would not resist him anymore.
However, he finally realized that he was just overthinking.
He sighed. [No one will misunderstand. No one knows that I sent you flowers.] [SydneyRaines: Is that so? Then good. I’ll have the flowers returned to you tomorrow.]
Julien's brows furrowed deeply when he saw these words. A fit of faint anger rose in his heart as well.
Even if it was just a bouquet of roses, she wanted to return it to him.
She wanted nothing to do with him!
Julien pursed his lips and typed quickly, [ No need. If you don't want them, just throw them away.]
After sending the message, he tossed the phone to the side and pulled off the towel from his neck. He placed the towel on his head, covering his whole face so that people could not see his expression.
In Shallow Bay, Sydney received Julien's reply and also knew that he was unhappy.
She had a vague guess on what he was upset about. However, even if he was upset, she should still return the flowers to him.
Sighing lightly, Sydney looked at the bouquet of flowers on the coffee table and finally dismissed the idea of returning them. She did not plan to throw them away either, so she just left them there to wilt on their own.
The next day, Sydney was stopped by a group of reporters when she arrived at Skylight.
"Ms. Raines, will you be suing Lyra Madden?"
"Ms. Raines, can you tell us anything about that hacker?" "What's your relationship with that hacker? All the questions the reporters were asking were about what Sydney would do with Lyra, as
well as about Cayden.
Sydney was annoyed at being pestered by them and frowned. "Enough! I'll answer the questions one by one."
When she said that, the reporters quieted down.
Sydney soothed out her frown and replied in a cold tone, "As for whether I'll sue Lyra Madden, my answer is yes. Lyra tried to have me violated by six men, then she even used public opinion to bully me when she failed. It caused serious losses to my reputation and my company, so I’ll sue her. I'll make her pay the price and compensate for all my losses!"
The reporters’ eyes gleamed as they quickly recorded her words.
Sydney held up two fingers. "As for the second question regarding the hacker. I’m sorry to say this, but I don't know who the person is. I don't know why they're helping me either, but I guess they did that because they can't stand to see an innocent person being slandered. There’s nothing I can reveal about them. Well, that's all I have to say. Instead of focusing on me, you all should keep an eye on Lyra instead. She’ll be the main character from now on."
That was a reminder to the reporters.
The reporters exchanged looks and quickly rushed to the police station.
Sydney watched them drive away and finally entered Skylight.
At the same time, in the police station, Lyra was being kept in an interrogation room. Several police officers sat opposite her,
asking her a series of questions.
When they asked why she arranged for six men to violate Sydney, she suddenly became agitated. "It wasn't me. I wasn't the one who arranged for those six men. It was Finn!"
