Did this person do anything else to her besides snatching her bag?
Finn majored in psychology before and even got a degree in it. He could tell exactly what Sydney was thinking from her expression.
He wanted to hide the truth from her, but he did not expect her to be this smart and guessed it.
"The last time you went to the hospital for an abortion, Lyra instructed me to kill you on the operating table and cover it up as a surgical incident. However, I saw the red mole on your wrist, so I didn't do anything in the end," Finn avoided her gaze as he explained.
"Scumbag!" Layden's eyes were bloodshot when he grabbed Finn's collar, about to hit him right in his face.
Finn did not fight back and he was ready to receive Layden's punches. All he had hoped was for Sydney to hate him less.
He could not let his angel hate him.
"Cay!" Sydney pulled on Layden's arm. "Let go of him."
"Sydney, he was going to kill you!" Layden was reluctant to let go.
Sydney said in a forceful tone, "Let go of him."
Layden saw how firm she was and let go of Finn in
the end.
Sydney turned around and looked at Finn, who had a deep frown. He was straightening his collar when Sydney asked, "If you didn’t notice the red mole back then, then I'll probably be dead by now, right?"
Even Sydney knew that this question was unnecessary.
However, she still wanted to hear it from him.
Finn pursed his lips and looked away from her. He then said, "Yes."
Sydney sneered and walked past him toward the elevator.
Although she did not like Finn as a person, she still saved his life back then.
When she found out that someone she saved back then repaid her this way, she felt extremely uncomfortable. Even if he did not know she was the one who saved him.
"Sydney, wait for me." Layden threw Finn a glare and quickly followed behind Sydney.
Finn did not stop Sydney from leaving. As a psychology professor, he knew that Sydney must have received a hard blow mentally.
This was all Lyra Madden's fault. If Lyra did not pretend to be his angel, then he would never let his angel down this way.
Just wait. He swore to torture her and make her one of his best specimens in his basement.
Outside the hotel, Cayden finally caught up to Sydney.
"Sydney, are you okay?" Cayden looked at her with concern.
Sydney looked at the red mole on her wrist and said nothing.
How could she be okay?
She just found out how close she was to death.
When Sydney remained silent, Cayden suddenly hugged her and placed his chin on her shoulder. His voice was deep with emotions as he said, "Don’t be afraid. You have me. I'll always protect you."
When Sydney heard that, she felt a warmth in her heart and the gloominess from before disappeared by a fair bit.
She patted the boy's back and said, "I believe you. Let go first, I can't breathe."
"Oh." Cayden quickly let go of her and looked at her belly. His eyes were confused as he asked, "Sydney, how did you get pregnant?"
He wanted to ask this question when they were in the suite. However all her attention was on Finn and Lyra's conversation, so he did not interrupt them and waited until now.
"I see." Julien sneered. "Did you find out why the driver crashed into me?"
"I did a check and found that the driver is just an ordinary person. He had never met you, nor have you ever offended him. I think he was just a pawn, and someone behind hired him to do that. The real proprietor must be someone else. But the driver is now dead, so our leads are all gone." Zach sighed.
Julien was not at all surprised by the outcome. He said with an indifferent expression, "Then just keep digging. We must find the person behind this."
"Yes." Zach nodded.
Julien rubbed his eyebrow. "Was the company alright when I was unconscious?"
Zach pushed on his glasses and replied, "The stock market wavered a little at first, but I managed to get it under control. Some scandals appeared on the Internet and diverted everyone's attention. Our stock market has returned to normal now."
"That's good, then." Julien closed his eyes and rubbed his head in discomfort.
When Zach saw that, he quickly asked, "President Flint, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell? I’ll call for the doctor right away."
As he said that, he reached for the bell.
Julien reopened his eyes and stopped him. "No need, I'm fine. I'm just having a headache, and there are some odd images flashing across my head." "Images?" Zach asked curiously.
Julien pursed his lips. "Maybe it’s just a side effect of the accident. Don’t worry."
When Zach heard that, he felt more reassured and did not push further.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Zach went to open the door and saw Lyra outside.
Lyra pushed Zach aside and ran into the room. She did not care that Julien was injured and just lunged forward, throwing herself in his arms. With a teary voice, she said, "Julien, you're finally awake!"
As she crashed into him, the impact opened his wounds once more, causing him to groan in pain. His forehead was also covered in a cold sweat and his eyebrows in a tight furrow.
