The Mooney family was one of Port City's top families. It was doing transportation business and had a high status in Port City.
At least, it was stronger than the McDaniel family.
Alonso, the grandson of the Mooney family, was an ignorant playboy who often hit headlines.
Some of his news even involved crimes.
The Mooney family always asked the major media not to release such news.
Many media agreed due to the power of the Mooney family.
However, the Squirrel team was different. They often posted this kind of news about Alonso, and nothing happened to them.
So, the editor-in-chief of the Squirrel team, who was not even afraid of the Mooney family, would not likely be afraid of the McDaniel family, which was not as powerful as the Mooney family, let alone a young lady who had no say in the McDaniel family.
So no one would believe Mr. Guzman's words.
Mr. Guzman, who was pressed on the ground and crying, froze once again after hearing Sydney's words.
He didn't expect Sydney to know so much about him.
Then the words he had just said really didn't have any credibility anymore and were instead somewhat hilarious.
But that didn't mean Mr. Guzman was going to give up.
Having fallen into Julien's hands, he knew that he might not be able to escape, and he had originally resigned himself to his fate.
But he saw Sydney here.
Women were often more soft-hearted than men, so as long as he could persuade this woman, he might be able to get away with it.
So no matter what, he couldn't let go of this opportunity.
Thinking about this, Mr. Guzman got pumped up and said, "Ms. Raines, I know it's very difficult for you to understand why I was forced by Miss McDaniel. The McDaniel family and Mr. Flint have a very close relationship, so I dare not disobey Miss McDaniel. Ms. Raines, if you don't believe me, you can go ask Mr. Flint if he is related to the McDaniel family."
Mr. Guzman thought he must get himself off the hook.
Sydney crossed her arms. "No need. I know Julien is Mr. McDaniel's student and Miss McDaniel's friend."
"Yes, yes, so she threatened me. I didn't dare to refuse her. If I offend Mr. Flint, I..."
"But don't forget it!" Sydney squatted, slightly lowered her head, and coldly stared at Mr. Guzman. "Erin is Julien's friend, while I'm Julien's girlfriend. You dared not disobey Erin for fear of offending Julien, so you dared help Erin against me? Were you not afraid of offending Julien by doing so?"
Mr. Guzman's face changed drastically, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Officer Miles and the other two police officers present looked at Mr. Guzman with contempt.
"I... I didn't think of that..." After a long time, Mr. Guzman spoke with trembling lips.
He wasn't lying.
Julien was walking up on his long legs with one hand in his pants pocket and the other swinging slightly, looking expressionless.
The heels of his leather shoes made clear and pleasant clattering sounds.
But for Mr. Guzman, it was like Demon's footsteps, causing his heart to contract violently.
"Mr. Flint..." Mr. Guzman looked up at the approaching Julien, his eyes crinkling as he stammered.
Officer Miles steps to the side, giving Julien his place.
Julien stopped beside Sydney.
Sydney looked at him and asked, "What brings you here?"
"You've been away for so long, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect to hear that," Julien answered and looked disdainfully down at Mr. Guzman, who was like a bedbug on the ground. "I heard everything you told Sydney just now."
He wrapped his arm around Sydney's slender waist. "She is right. In my heart, she is far more important than Mr. McDaniel because she is the one who will accompany me for the rest of my life, while Mr. McDaniel won't. I respect Mr. McDaniel, but if he is not as virtuous as I thought, I won't respect him. Since I can even give up on my teacher, what do you think his granddaughter is to me?"
Mr. Guzman opened his mouth, unable to make a sound.
Julien had announced Mr. Guzman's miserable end.
Julien could even give up on his teacher, let alone his teacher's granddaughter.
