Three months ago, Julien had a chance of finding out that Sydney was the real Maple Leaf.
He just divorced Sydney three months ago. If he found out that she was the real Maple Leaf then, Lyra would not have a chance to repeatedly attack Sydney, and he could also get Sydney back to his side sooner.
However, there were no what-ifs.
Jayden's ignorance made him miss the opportunity.
Of course, Julien also knew that this was not completely Jayden’s fault. If he insisted on reading the letter when Jayden snatched it back, then things would not get to how it was today.
Everything was just an ill fate.
On the other side, Jayden was feeling extremely uneasy when Julien abruptly hung up on him. He walked around with his phone, muttering, "Gosh, he must be hating me so much right now!"
Jayden regretted not letting his brother read the letters.
If he did, then Lyra would not have had a chance to do all those horrible things to Sydney, and Julien might have gotten back together with Sydney.
However, he ruined it all.
"I have to fix this!" Jayden decided to give Sydney a call. "Sydney, save me!"
Sydney was in the middle of reading through some documents when she picked up her phone without looking at the caller ID. She did not expect it to be Jayden desperately calling for help.
"What is it? Are you in the police station again?" Sydney put the phone between her ear and her shoulder, her tone of voice indifferent.
Jayden tsked and said, "Is that what you expect of me?"
"Hey, it's not me. You just have a higher chance of getting caught," Sydney said as she wrote something on the document.
Jayden's face was flushed red. "Sydney, you're too much!”
"I was just kidding. What is it? I'm busy." Sydney put her signature on the document, put it aside, and took another one.
Jayden scratched his head and said in a depressing tone, "I think my brother hates me."
He then told Sydney about what happened.
When Sydney heard the entire story, she stopped moving her hand. She did not realize that such a thing happened after Jay den took the letter.
When Sydney said nothing, Jayden was feeling more anxious than ever. "Sydney, I think my brother hates me. Please save me!"
"I'm sorry, this is none of my business, so I won't get involved," Sydney said and continued looking through her document.
Jayden did not expect her to reject him so quickly. He blinked in surprise. "Why? This is related to you. If I didn't..."
"Enough!" Sydney interrupted him with a frown. "I know what you're saying. Are you saying that your brother and I didn’t recognize each other sooner because of you?”
Jayden nodded. “Yes. If I let my brother read the letter back then, I think you both can be together again.”
"You're wrong.” Sydney flipped the page of her document and said coldly, "Even if you give the letter to Julien back then, I won't get back together with him."
"Why?" Jayden's eyes widened in surprise.
Sydney replied in a cold voice, "There's no particular reason, but if I have to say something, it'll be because I don't love him. Why would I get together with a man I don't love?”
After saying that, Sydney hung up.
Just then, someone knocked on her door.
Sydney said "Lome in" without looking up.
Sophie walked in and stopped in front of Sydney's desk. "President Raines, someone from the police station called and asked you to drop by. They caught the person who cast the horror images on your window."
"They caught the person?”
"Yes." Sophie nodded.
Sydney smiled.
Since she had not heard from the police after such a long time, she thought that the policemen had singlehandedly closed the case.
