Zach's helpless voice came through." President Flint, a lot of reporters are calling us, asking for an interview with you. I think they want to know your attitude toward what happened to Lyra Madden."
Julien frowned. "Which company are they from?"
"Except for those digger media platforms, all the rest called."
Julien pursed his lips. “Just give them a warning. If they demand an interview, be prepared for bankruptcy."
"Yes.” Zach nodded without hesitation.
He thought that the reporters deserved it.
For viewer rates, they had the audacity to ask for an interview with President Flint at a time like this.
"Oh right, President Flint.” Zach thought of something and added, “You asked me if Micah Stadler knows that your heart belongs to Quincy. I found that he knows about this all along, and he has been paying attention to you all this while. This is why he appeared immediately after the hypnotization on you weakened."
Julien nodded. "I see."
"Besides, Micah will come to the office tomorrow to help you break free from hypnotization. He'll also help you find your sealed memories," Zach continued.
Julien nodded and said that he understood. He then asked, "Did you find out anything about Quincy's death?” "Not yet." Zach shook his head in disappointment. "This incident happened six years ago, so it will take time if I try to dig it out now. I already contacted the traffic department and I requested any surveillance videos of Quincy's accident. If it exists, then we can investigate further from there. If not, we’ll lose our leads once more."
Julien's eyes darkened. "We can try from Lyra Madden's side."
"I don't think so,” Zach said, "If Quincy’s death is related to Lyra, she’ll never admit it. Even if she does, we can’t take out any hard evidence and she might argue that we forced her to admit it out of her will. She'll still escape from the law."
When Julien heard this, his eyebrows became a tight furrow.
Without evidence, it would be hard to sentence Lyra. If he'd had any, he would already have thrown her into jail once the hypnotization on him weakened.
However, he did not have any evidence, especially those of Lyra harming Sydney. The only witnesses were Luke and the lot, but since they were all on Sydney’s side, Lyra could argue against this and said that they were deliberately framing her.
At this point, witnesses were useless. What they needed was hard proof, or Lyra would still get away with it.
Of course, if the law was unable to make Lyra pay, then he could always use other methods.
As he thought about that, something flashed across his eyes and he said, "I understand. Continue to investigate Quincy's death. Next, make a summary of all cooperation projects between the Flint and Trison Corporation. Get it ready before tomorrow's press conference. I want to read through it first.”
Zach knew that Julien was about to stop all cooperation with Trison Corporation. He quickly nodded. "Yes!”
Julien said nothing and put down his phone.
The next morning, Sydney was putting on her shoes, ready to head to work.
Just as she opened the door, she saw a man leaning against the wall outside her door.
"Why are you here?" Sydney was stunned at first, and she frowned right away.
Julien straightened himself and handed a paper bag to her. "Have you had your breakfast?"
Sydney looked at the paper bag in front of her and asked, “You came here to send me breakfast?"
Julien nodded. "I wanted to see you as well."
Sydney snorted. "But I don't want to see you."
Julien’s eyes darkened momentarily, but they quickly returned to their usual appearance. His voice was gentle as he said, "There are mango desserts and pastries inside. It's all your favorite, so why don't you give it a try?"
Sydney was not at all surprised that he knew what she liked. After all, she mentioned them in her letters.
"Do you always prepare these things for Lyra as well?" Sydney still refused to take the paper bag. She asked with her eyebrow raised.
Julien knew that she had just thrown him a tricky question. He hesitated before answering, "Yes."
She suddenly thought of Jayden's phone call the other day, when he told her that Julien wanted to annul his engagement with Lyra.
Jayden was telling the truth and was not joking.
In the next second, what Julien said next affirmed her.
"I want to annul my engagement with Lyra. The press conference is at 10:00 AM. You have to watch it,” Julien said.
Sydney frowned. "Why should I? I'm not interested.”
When Julien heard her rejection, he was not at all angry. With a slight smile, he said, "Fine if you don't want to watch it. I can call you and tell you about the entire thing after it ends."
After saying that, he looked at her once more and turned toward the elevator.
Sydney looked at his silhouette as she shouted, "I don't want to hear it! I won't even pick up your calls!"
Julien's footsteps halted, but he quickly pretended not to hear her and walked into the elevator.
Downstairs.
When Zach saw Julien walking out with the paper bag in his hand, he was not surprised. He said sympathetically, "As expected, Ms. Raines will accept things from everyone else except you."
Julien knew that he was right, but his facial expression still darkened. "Shut up."
Zach chuckled.
Julien threw the paper bag at him. "Finish everything!"
"Everything?" Zach took the bag and exclaimed in disbelief.
