Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 1183 I Am Sorry

"Ms. Raines, you're right. A bad guy like Dallin deserves it." Zach nodded in agreement.

Obviously, he was flattering Sydney.

Sydney smiled, "Thank you."

Zach waves his hand. "Don't say that, Ms. Raines. This is the truth, isn't it, Mr. Flint?"

Julien was noncommittal.

Sydney's face became serious. "Julien, Dallin used your mom's relics to threaten you and asked you to let Greta go. Do you know what they are?"

Julien shook his head. "No. I asked Dallin, but he didn't answer. He said that if I didn't agree, he'd auction the relics, and he was pretty sure that there'd be quite a few people in the circle wanting them. The one who buys them can..."

Julien clenched his hands with a scowl. "Dallin said that person could see her appearance."

"See her appearance?" Sydney frowned slightly. "Then they can only be photos, portraits, videos, or other things that record her looks. Could they be these things?"

"I don't know, but I guess so." Julien's eyes darkened. "I'm most worried that they are videos and even those kinds of videos."

What did Julien mean by "those kinds of videos"?

Any adult could immediately think of the answer without an explicit explanation.

After all, at that time, Dallin and Julien's mother were dating seriously. It was normal for them to have sex.

A lot of men and women liked to take pictures or videos when they slept together.

Even if one of them hated to do so, the other one might secretly film it.

Sydney didn't know if Julien's mother and Dallin had been like this or if the relics Dallin mentioned were what she and Julien thought they were.

However, whether the relics were racy videos or not, she didn't want Julien to take that risk.

For a moment, it was silent in the car. Only the heavy breathing showed the depressing atmosphere.

After a while, Sydney seemed to have made up her mind about something. She squeezed her palms and looked at Julien. "Julien, why don't you promise him?"

"What did you say?"

The moment Sydney's words came out, both Julien and Zach looked at her in great surprise.

Julien had other unreadable emotions besides surprise in his eyes.

Sydney took a breath, calmly gazing at Julien. "We don't know what the relics are. We just guess that they might be those things, but whether we are right or not, we can't take the risk. She's your mother. No matter what your feelings are for her right now, she's always your mother. We can't let her relics be used in such a way. Moreover, we can't make her unable to rest in peace or let her reputation be ruined after her death. Julien, you should know that if the relics are really the ones we guessed and they are purchased and publicized, not to mention what will happen to your mother, you, your grandmother, and your family will all fall into disrepute and be laughed at by everyone. The Flint Group will also be affected. After all, no matter how powerful a company is, as long as everyone boycotts it, it will collapse."

Julien and Zach did not retort because this was an indisputable fact.

Sydney added, "I don't want to see you being pointed at and laughed at because of your mother, and I don't want to see your aged grandmother lose her peaceful life because of her daughter-in- law, so I'd rather you agree to Dallin's condition. Let Greta go and get the relics back."

Julien's thin lips moved. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.

It was only because he knew that Sydney's words made perfect sense and were exactly what he had in mind.

He didn't care about his reputation. Nor was he afraid that others would laugh at him.

What he cared about was his grandmother.

He really couldn't bear to see his old grandmother depressed because of the scandal of her daughter-in-law.

His grandmother didn't have many days left. She might die in a few years.

If the relics that Dallin talked about were really those things and they were bought and publicized, the Flint family would become a laughingstock.

Julien was most worried that his grandmother would die in a fit of anger.

This possibility was very high.

He didn't dare to gamble.

So upon hearing Sydney's words, he was silent and even compromised.

He couldn't bear the consequences.

Only after a long time did Julien ask in a hoarse voice, "Will you feel aggrieved if I let Greta go?"

Sydney nodded and then shook her head. "Yes, a little bit. After all, Greta is very malicious to me, and I also hate her. I think she should stay in jail and reflect on herself, but compared to you, your family, and what will happen to your grandmother, my grievance is nothing. What's more, judging from Greta's hatred for me, she will definitely go against me and fall into my hands again. I can punish her by then. The priority now is to get back your mom's relics and let your grandmother live peacefully in her last days. Julien, you've always been smart. You won't make the wrong choice, right? "

Sydney looked at Julien seriously and nervously, afraid that he would refuse because he didn't want her to feel aggrieved.

Luckily, Julien didn't let her down. He hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry for making you aggrieved."

He would make it up to her.

Sydney gave in generously for his sake.

Yet he couldn't take it for granted.

So he had to compensate her, or he would feel uneasy accepting her kindness.

"Not at all." Sydney also hugged Julien. "I told you I would have plenty of chances to teach Greta a lesson in the future."

"I know, but I feel guilty. Greta bullied you, but you compromised because of me and my family. Sorry, Leaf, but don't worry. I won't let you compromise for nothing." Sydney couldn't see that Julien's eyes were terrifyingly surly.

Sydney pushed him away and looked him in the eye. "You... What are you going to do?"

Julien rubbed her hair. "You'll find out soon."

Seeing that he refused to answer, Sydney nodded and didn't ask any more questions. "Anyway, go to Dallin as soon as you can and get the relics back. Don't let him auction them."

"I will." Julien lowered his eyes, hiding the fierceness in them.

Sydney leaned against his chest. "Actually, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. Even though we didn't talk about it last night, fortunately, it's not too late."

Julien stroked her hair. "Thank you."

Sydney smiled, "You don't have to thank me. You've done a lot for me, and I haven't done much for you, so consider this something I did for you."

"Ms. Raines, you're so kind," Zach said sincerely.

Sydney replied with a smile, "Thanks."

Saying that, she gently tapped Julien's back with her fingers, signaling him to let go of her.

Julien was not as cheeky as before. This time, he obediently let go of her.

"Let's go. It's getting late. We have to go back to the office. H straight to Dallin later," Sydney said, looking at Julien. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Julien responded, "That's what I thought."

"Let's go then." Sydney sat upright.

Julien glanced at Zach. "Drive the car."

Zach said okay, nodded, and started the car.
