Chapter 253 Sydney is Maple Leaf
Chapter 253 Sydney is Maple Leaf
"President Flint!" At that moment, the office door was pushed open by Zach. He hurried in without knocking on the door.
Julien frowned, somewhat displeased. "What is it?"
Zach did not answer immediately but looked around the office as if searching for something.
Julien pursed his lips and said in a cold voice, "What are you looking at?"
"President Flint, where's Ms. Raines?" Zach asked.
Julien thought of his behavior earlier and could not help but touch the corner of his lip. He lowered his eyes and said in a light voice, "She left."
"She left?" Zach raised his voice.
Julien rubbed his temples and walked over to his desk. "Why are you looking for her?"
"President Flint, did you forget? I just came back from Twinriver District." Zach followed behind him.
Julien subconsciously stopped and turned around, fixing his gaze on Zach. "What do you mean? Are you trying to say that Maple Leaf has something to do with Sydney?"
His heart beat gradually grew quicker and quicker.
Zach nodded heavily. "Yes. When I went to Twinriver
District and found Maple Leaf's previous address, it turned out to be Raines villa."
"Sydney... is Maple Leaf!" Julien's eyes widened. His fists on his sides clenched tightly and trembled faintly.
Zach quickly responded, "Yes. Ms. Raines is 100% Maple Leaf. Maple Leaf said that she has a stepmother and sister, raised a dog named Ditto, and lives in Raines villa. Who else can Maple Leaf be besides Ms. Raines?"
He was a little breathless after saying so much, so he took a deep breath to adjust his breathing before he continued, "Most importantly is Ms. Raines and Maple Leaf's handwriting. Maple Leaf's handwriting is a little childish and not as mature as Ms. Raines', but it can be seen that they're the same person. However, we never even thought about that. Even Ms. Raines' life is the same as Maple Leaf's, but we didn't bother to think about it. It's too strange!"
Zach hammered his head. "I'm starting to wonder if there's something wrong with my IQ."
Julien pounded his fist on the desk, the veins on the back of his hand bulging. "No, there's nothing wrong with your IQ. Someone just doesn't want us to think in this direction."
The Flint family and Zach all knew about him and Maple Leaf, but no one realized that Sydney was Maple Leaf.
What did this mean? It meant that everyone was influenced by that force.
Zach did not know what Julien was thinking and stared in surprise. "President Flint, are you saying that someone doesn't want us to know that Ms. Raines is Maple Leaf? Is it Lyra? But that can't be..."
Zach shook his head and rejected his own speculation. "It's normal if Lyra doesn't want us to know that Ms. Raines is Maple Leaf, but she can't stop our brains from thinking. However, none of us even considered that Ms. Raines was Maple Leaf. It's too unbelievable."
"Do you believe that there are unknown forces that can control a person's thoughts and feelings in this world?" Julien suddenly looked at him and asked.
Zach froze and then laughed. "Of course. It's hypnosis..."
At that point, he suddenly realized something and opened his mouth. "President Flint, was that why you hired a psychologist before? I thought it was because you felt too much psychological pressure. Did you suspect that you were hypnotized?"
From what Julien said earlier, he seemed to be implying that Zach was hypnotized as well!
Julien's eyes were dark and deep. He did not say anything, which meant that he tacitly agreed.
Although Dr. Sullivan and the others said that he was not hypnotized, he still believed that he was indeed hypnotized.
It was just that Dr. Sullivan and the others were unable to diagnose it.
Maybe the person who hypnotized him was much more amazing than Dr. Sullivan.
Zach patted his face, completely dumbfounded. "How could this be...?"
Julien lowered his eyes. "Go and contact the world's top hypnotists. The more, the better."
"Yes!" Zach's expression froze and he hurriedly answered.
If they were hypnotized, they naturally had to find top hypnotists to break it.
Then, Zach thought of something and asked," President Flint, do you want to reveal your identity to Ms. Raines?"
Reveal his identity...
Julien lowered his head slightly and did not answer. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Before he learned that Sydney was Maple Leaf, he was sure that he wanted to reveal his identity to Maple Leaf.
However, now that he knew that Sydney was Maple Leaf, he did not have the courage to reveal his identity. It was because there were too many complicated things that happened between Sydney
and him.
Seemingly seeing Julien's conflict, Zach sighed." President Flint, I know you said that you love Lyra because she's Maple Leaf. However, all of us can see that you don't love Lyra."
Julien's thin lips moved at the words. "When did you find out that I didn't love Lyra?"
"A long time ago." Zach continued, "Six years ago, although you said that you love her, there was no love in your eyes. You treated her well because of her identity as Maple Leaf, but there was only love in your eyes when you talked about Maple Leaf specifically. In other words, from the very beginning, you treated Maple Leaf and Lyra as two separate people."
Julien was silent.
From Zach's words, it confirmed that he never loved Lyra. Zach saw this six years ago, but he only discovered this himself after a car accident.
Sure enough, it was that mysterious force!
"President Flint, there's one more thing I want to tell you. Actually, the person you love is Ms. Raines," Zach pushed up his glasses and suddenly spoke up again.
Julien's pupils flickered. "The person I love is Sydney? H
"Yes. You've been in love with Ms. Raines for a long time, but you never realized it yourself. The Old Madam, Mr. Cohen, and I could all see it, but we didn't tell you. I wanted to let you find out for yourself. After all, you might not believe me if I told you." Zach shrugged.
Julien's throat felt slightly sour. He was unable to make a sound, and a shocking wave rose in his heart.
'The person I love is Sydney?
'How could that be?'
However, he could not say anything to refute it.
That was because he loved Maple Leaf. Now that Maple Leaf had become Sydney, naturally, the person he loved became Sydney as well.
However, it was obvious that that was not what Zach meant.
Zach wanted to tell him that he fell in love with Sydney without knowing that she was Maple Leaf.
"Why are you willing to tell me now?" Julien's voice was slightly hoarse as he questioned.
Zach scratched his head. "Well... It's because I found out that Ms. Raines is Maple Leaf. Since I found out that you love Ms. Raines, I understood that you don't love Maple Leaf anymore. You still have an obsession with Maple Leaf, but you mistook that obsession for love. It's what made you think that you still loved Maple Leaf. However, now that Ms. Raines and Maple Leaf have become the same person, I naturally have nothing to hide."
Julien's eyes darkened and he did not speak again.
He understood now. So far, he always thought that he still loved Maple Leaf. However, he stopped loving Maple Leaf a long time ago. The one he loved was Sydney!
Even if Maple Leaf was Sydney, this love was different. That was because when he fell in love with Sydney, he did not know that she was Maple Leaf.
That was why he vaguely felt that he had lost the most important thing in his heart when he divorced Sydney. That was why he felt so annoyed and uncomfortable when he saw Sydney getting close to other men.
At that moment, Julien finally understood why his emotions kept getting affected by Sydney and why he made those actions. It was because he loved her. He was not being controlled by that mysterious force. It was his heartfelt love.
Looking at Julien's expression, Zach knew that he finally understood and encouraged him. "President Flint, go tell Ms. Raines who you are. I believe that once she knows you're the person who corresponded with her back then, she'll forgive you."
Forgive?
Julien pursed his lips.
He did not know whether Sydney would forgive him or not, but he wanted to ask her something. Back then, when they had arranged to meet, why was it Lyra who came instead of her?
How did Lyra know about their correspondence?
