Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!
Chapter 573 Julien's Confession

"And then?"

"Then..." Sydney's body trembled slightly, and she continued with self-reproach," Then I asked my father if there was anything wrong, and he said he was fine. I believed him and thought he was just worried about the future development of Skylight Corporation. If I had insisted on taking him to a doctor at that time, I might have known earlier that my father had been drugged so that he wouldn't have jumped off the building. This is all my fault! I could have saved him, but I missed the chance because of my negligence.

Julien, I am unfilial, right?"

No, you are not unfilial." Julien took her hand, looked at her seriously and said," After all, no one in this world can prevent what will happen in the next second in advance, and no one would have known that your father's weird mental state was due to the drug. It's not your fault, so please don't blame yourself. I think if your father were still alive, he wouldn't let you take all the blame. What matters most now is to find out the evidence that your father was poisoned as soon as possible."

Being reminded by him, Sydney widened her eyes. She no longer looked depressed and said firmly, "You're right. I have to cheer up and avenge my father!"

"That's my good girl." Julien gently touched her hair and then asked, "Are you hungry? You haven't eaten any food this morning. I guess you must be starving now."

Sydney had wanted to say that she was not hungry. After all, she had no appetite to eat after knowing the truth of her father's death.

However, before she could say it, her stomach grumbled.

She quickly covered her belly and her face flushed red.

Julien chuckled. Then he stood up, took her hand and walked in the direction of the restaurant. "Let's go. I'll take you to eat something. Only when you are full can you have the energy to do things, including your revenge."

Sydney moved her lips slightly, but she didn't say anything. She just obediently followed him to the restaurant.

After the lunch, Julien went out.

He had his own work to do here besides attending the engagement party.

Therefore, he didn't stay in the villa with Sydney.

Sydney stayed alone in the villa, waiting for Natalie to send her the message in the afternoon.

Natalie was punctual. At three p.m., she called Sydney and told her about Madeline's whereabouts.

Madeline's nationality was Beautrea, so the Ferrell family had sent her back to Beautrea.

At the moment, Madeline was already on the plane to Beautrea.

Hearing this, Sydney frowned, because it was too late to stop Madeline.

She had wanted to catch Madeline and question her after finding her whereabouts.

But she didn't expect the Loffe family to take action so fast. They directly sent Madeline onto a plane to Beautrea.

How could she catch her now?

Sydney felt a little headache and rubbed her temples.

It seemed that she had to find a way to get Madeline back later.

Or she would go to Beautrea herself.

Thinking of this, Sydney hurriedly opened the calendar on her mobile phone, intending to find a date to go to Beautrea.

After a short while, Sydney set the date for the end of the month.

At that time, the annual asset-quality review of Skylight Corporation would begin, and she would not be so busy at work, which meant she could have time to find Madeline. She hoped to know more truths from Madeline so that she should be able to find Brandon, the culprit behind all this.

Sydney clenched her cell phone with uncertainty and looked out of the French window in a daze.

The next day, Sydney and Julien boarded the plane for their return home.

Along the way, Sydney was absent-minded.

She even nearly ran into pedestrians at the airport several times.

If Julien hadn't stopped her in time, she would have gotten hurt.

"You are still thinking about your father's death?" Sitting in the first class of the plane, Julien closed the magazine in his hand and looked at Sydney, who wore a sullen expression. Sydney rubbed her cheeks. "How can I forget about it so quickly? It still has to take me at least a few days."

If her father had really committed suicide, she would have accepted the fact more calmly.

But her father was murdered by someone, and she really couldn't calm down so easily.

"Don't think too much." Julien gently pressed her head on his shoulder.

Sydney instantly straightened herself up." What are you doing?"

"You'd better get some sleep. You've got dark circles under your eyes and your eyes are a little swollen. You didn't get enough rest yesterday, did you?" Julien looked at her carefully and said. Sydney touched her thick eyelids and fell silent.

It was true that she barely slept last night. As soon as she closed her eyes, the scene of her father committing suicide by jumping off a building sprang to her mind.

This terrible scene had made her have nightmares for a long time, and it had also taken her a few years to accept the fact of her father's death.

But now, she went through a mental breakdown again.

"Well, please get some sleep. I'll lend you my shoulder," Julien said again.

Sydney looked at his concerned expression and then at his shoulder. Then she said," Thank you."

She closed her eyes and leaned against his shoulder.

Strangely, after a short time, she felt sleepy, and her depression and anxiety also disappeared.

Was it because he was around?

Sydney looked up at his profile and said," Julien."

"Huh?" He looked away from the magazine and turned to look at her. Seeing that her eyes were wide open, he chuckled, "You can't fall asleep?"

Sydney blinked. "Can I ask you a question?"

"What is it?"

"Can I trust you?" Sydney said.

Julien raised his eyebrows. "Why did you ask such a question? What kind of trust do you mean?"

Sydney lowered her eyes. "You said you loved me, but can I really believe that you will always love me? We used to write letters to each other, and you fell in love with me before meeting with me. But why did you mistake Lyra for me? Have you ever really loved me?"

This made Julien feel guilty. He raised his hand and gently touched her head. He said in an ashamed voice, "I'm sorry. Actually, I recognized you back then, but I forgot you for some reason."

"What do you mean?" Sydney immediately looked up. "You lost your memory?"

Julien shook his head. "No, I didn't."

At that time, when Lyra pretended to be Maple Leaf to meet him, he knew that Lyra was not Sydney.

He also asked Zach to investigate who Maple Leaf was and why Lyra pretended to be her.

However, before Zach found out the truth, he and Zach were hypnotized by Micah.

Micah made Julien and the people around him who knew Maple Leaf all think that Lyra was his penfriend.

Therefore, Julien firmly believed that Lyra was Maple Leaf.

"You said you didn't lose your memory?" Sydney was puzzled. "Why can't I understand your words? If there is nothing wrong with your memory, then why did you forget me?" She felt that his words were contradictory.

Julien blinked his eyes slightly, and he seemed to have an inner struggle.

After a few seconds, he looked at her and said, "If I said that I was hypnotized, would you believe me?" "Hypnosis?" Sydney suddenly sat up straight. "You were hypnotized?" Julien nodded.

He told her the deal between Lyra and Micah.

Sydney didn't speak for a long time after hearing that.

Seeing her wide-opened eyes, Julien knew that she had not recovered from the shock of knowing the truth. So he just remained silent, waiting patiently for her to calm down. Sydney finally came back to her senses and said, "I can't believe hypnosis really exists in the world. And how could it be so effective?"
