At that thought, Julien took out his phone and dialed Sydney's number.What he did not expect was the cold, mechanical female voice coming from the phone, telling him that Sydney's phone was turned off.Zach also heard it and cleared his throat. "Well... Why don't you just go directly to Ms. Raines and talk about it face to face?"Julien's eyes flickered, somewhat tempted.However, he soon shook his head again. "Go to the Madden residence first. I want to personally rip off Lyra's hypocritical mask.""Of course. I'll go prepare the car." Zach pushed his glasses excitedly and went out to get the car.Julien clicked on the photo album and scrolled to the two photos of Sydney previously taken by the dress store clerk. His eyes were deep yet filled with tenderness. "In our six years of marriage, why didn't you ever reveal that you used to be pen pals with someone?"If she revealed it even just a little, maybe he would have realized that she was Maple Leaf.In that case, he definite
"I can't. I promised him." The man quickly calmed down, collecting the bewilderment in his heart, and shook his head to refuse.Julien's anger roared again. He clenched his fists with a low growl. "You can't? That's between you and Lyra. It has nothing to do with me. Since your most important person loves Lyra so much, why don't you hypnotize Lyra instead so that the two of them can love each other? Why should I have to pay for their feelings?!"The man lowered his eyelids, and a trace of sadness flashed in those emotionless eyes. "It's too late...""What does that mean?"The man did not answer. Instead, he stepped forward, lifted his hand, and snapped his finger at the vigilant Julien and Zach.Snap!At that sound, Julien's eyes instantly grew hazy and disoriented. His mind started to go blank as well.Even Zach in the car behind them began to go dazed.By the time they returned to normal, the man was no longer there. They did not know when he left."President Flint!" Zach hu
The sound of his footsteps was as if he was stepping on her heart, making her heart seize. Panic and fear welled up in her.Lyra subconsciously retreated, her lips trembling and unable to make a sound.Julien's eyes were full of disgust when he saw this. "You can't answer that, can't you? That's because you don't live in Twinriver District, you've never had a dog before, and you don't have a stepmother and sister either. Can you still say with a straight face that you're Maple Leaf?"Thump!Lyra slumped to the ground, her eyes glazed over.When Julien saw her like this, he knew that she could no longer hide it. She admitted it."Lyra!" Mrs. Madden hurriedly went forward and hugged Lyra, shaking her shoulders. "Lyra, what's wrong with you?"Lyra's lips moved as if wanting to say something, but nothing could come out.Mrs. Madden had no choice but to ask Julien. "Julien, what exactly are you and Lyra talking about? What do you mean by impersonating Sydney? Who’s Maple Leaf? I don
Julien's face was slapped to the side. He was stunned, and his hands that were holding her also subconsciously let go.It was as if he could not believe that she hit him.Sydney did not care what Julien thought. She took this opportunity to hurriedly take two steps back, distancing herself from him. She glared at him furiously. "Julien Flint, if you want to act like a madman, then f*ck off back to Flint Mansion. Also, please look clearly. I'm not Lyra Madden."Julien pressed his tongue against his cheek and replied in a hoarse voice, "I know you're not Lyra.""You know, but you still hugged me? Are you insane?" Sydney was shocked.Julien clenched his fists. "I'm not insane.""Then you...""I love you!" Julien cut off her words.Sydney's mind went blank as her body froze. It took a while before she found her voice. "You... What did you say?"He said he loved her?How could that be?She must have heard wrongly.However, the next second, Julien looked at Sydney and repeated hi
Thinking that way, Zach was angry and looked at Julien with sympathy.Hunter looked at Julien, who was hunched over and unconscious, and raised his brows. "Hey, what's wrong with Julien?""President Flint has a fever," Zach responded with a bitter smile.Sydney pursed her lips and said faintly, "If he has a fever, then hurry up and send him to the hospital."Then, she looked at Hunter. "Come in.""Sure!" Hunter entered the house with a bright smile on his face.Sydney did not even look at Zach and Julien, and simply closed the door.Zach looked at the tightly closed door and finally shook his head, helplessly dragging Julien away.He was nervous for Julien because Sydney and Hunter were alone together.However, that nervousness could not be compared to Julien's health. It was better to send him to the hospital first and wait until he got better to let him fight with Hunter later.In the apartment, Sydney took the flowers Hunter handed to her. She found a vase, trimmed the flo
"It's true, but that's not important. What I want to know is whether a hypnotist can make a person suffer from angina." Julien stared at Dr. Sullivan.Dr. Sullivan hesitated a moment. "Can you elaborate, President Flint?""Yes." Julien nodded. "You should still remember how I described my fiancée. I have to treat her well, spoil her, and love her.""I remember." Dr. Sullivan nodded.Julien's expression darkened. "These few days, I found out that if I don't do that, my heart will hurt severely.""I understand now. That's indeed something that a hypnotist can do. However, I want to tell you that the pain you're feeling isn't physical, but psychological," Dr. Sullivan looked at him and said."Psychological pain..." Julien lowered his eyes thoughtfully. "You mean, my heart isn't in pain, but my heart and consciousness feel like it's hurting?""Yes. After all, although hypnotists are powerful, they're not real gods. It's impossible for them to control your sense of pain. This is a ki
At that point, Finn suddenly sighed. "Now that six years have passed, his attainment is probably higher than my teacher's.""How did Lyra meet such a powerful hypnotist?" Julien looked at him.Finn continued to spin the scalpel. "I told you, I don't know. I'm also curious about that."Julien saw that he did not seem to be lying, and his brows furrowed deeply.Even Finn did not know. It seemed like Lyra was really not simple.At that moment, Zach came back.Julien told him to investigate Finn's senior and told him that the senior was that mysterious man.Finn saw this but did not stop them.He did not have a good relationship with his senior.Thus, how would he possibly stop Julien from investigating his senior?After Zach left again, Julien looked at Finn. "Help me get the hypnosis and spiritual suggestion under control for me.""Sure. I want double the price. After all, this is a private job. My salary will be deducted if I get caught," Finn said with a playful smile.Juli
Julien's eyes darkened. "I did promise you, but I only promised that I wouldn't stop you. I didn't promise not to remarry Sydney.""You..." Hunter's face twisted with anger.However, he soon calmed down again. "Fine. You're very good at exploiting loopholes, but do you think you can remarry her just because you want to? Do you think she'll agree?"Julien's lips moved but he did not answer.Hunter saw this and smiled mockingly. "Look, even you don't have the confidence to answer that question. Then let me answer it for you. Sydney won't remarry you, so you better dispel those unrealistic thoughts while it's still early.""What makes you think Sydney won't remarry me?" Julien looked at him expressionlessly."Because of the way you treated her these past six years!" Hunter crossed his arms and said in a cold voice, "Have you forgotten about the emotional abuse you put her through? What right do you have to remarry her? Because you found out that you're in love with her? Julien Flint
