Chapter 1059 You Lied to Me Again
Chapter 1059 You Lied to Me Again
Julien didn't forget to lift his chin with a proud expression toward Luke after Sydney finished speaking.
Although he didn't say a word, his feelings were already written all over his face. 'Look, how well Leaf knows me!'
Luke read Julien's face. Luke's mouth twitched a few times, and he trembled with anger.
'This bastard!'
The two people's small movements, naturally, were seen by Sydney.
But Sydney just pretended that she didn't know it.
Anyway, these two men were childish as hell whenever they got together.
'Let them be.
'As long as they won't fight.'
"Forget it." Luke waved his hand resignedly. "Even if you lie to me, I won't be angry with you."
The implication was that he didn't blame Sydney for lying to him.
Sydney smiled, "Thank you, Luke."
Luke waved his hand again, indicating that thanks were not necessary.
Then Julien said, "Leaf, I didn't expect you to trust me so much. I'm very happy."
Sydney didn't ask Julien if he believed in the online rumors. She was sure that he wouldn't believe the rumors.
How could Julien not be happy with such trust?
Sydney poured him a glass of water. "You know the whole matter, so if you did not believe me, I would have overestimated you."
"Rest assured. I'm not a fool." Julien took the glass of water. "Even if I didn't know the whole matter, I wouldn't suspect that you cheated on me because I know what kind of person you are."
Sydney pouted at him and then smiled.
Obviously, she was joyful with his answer.
"By the way, Julien." At that moment, Luke suddenly set eyes on Julien again.
Julien frowned. "What do you want to say?"
Luke crossed his legs. "What else can it be? It has been so long since the matter happened. Why didn't you suppress the online news? Many people have been cursing Syd. Although Syd said she was not in a hurry to solve it and wanted to test you with it, suppressing the news would not affect the test, right?"
"Test?" Julien turned to look at Sydney. "What test?"
Sydney did not expect that Luke would actually ask Julien this and mention what she had said just now. She felt embarrassed.
It seemed that she could no longer hide the truth from Luke.
"Don't try to change the subject." Although Luke was surprised that Julien did not know about the test, what he wanted to know more about was why Julien had not suppressed the news.
In his opinion anyway, suppressing the news was not in conflict with the test.
After all, suppressing the news was not refuting the rumors or resolving the matter.
Julien looked at Sydney with deep eyes for a moment before he answered Luke's question. "Who said I didn't suppress the news?"
Once these words came out, Sydney and Luke were stunned.
"You did it?" Luke asked in surprise.
Julien did not respond.
Sydney opened her lips and then frowned.
Naturally, she would not suspect that Julien was lying.
He had no need to lie about such things.
However, why was the situation on the Internet still like that after he suppressed the news?
This question was soon asked by Luke.
Julien's face was gloomy, and his voice was cold as he spoke, "It's very simple. Someone controlled the network. The moment Zach knew what had happened, he asked the PR department to suppress the news, and the PR department did it at once, but soon, the news attracted a lot of attention again. Later, I asked the network technology department to confirm that there was an Internet company behind the scenes. Now my people are investigating which Internet company it is. When they find out, I will not let this company off."
'So that's how it is.'
Sydney sneered.
She probably knew which Internet company it was.
The McDaniel Group was engaged in online business. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
And Miss McDaniel was the daughter of the McDaniel family, so the McDaniel Group would absolutely listen to her.
"What? There is an Internet company behind it?" Luke was shocked again. "This is just a matter of ordinary media creating rumors to grab public attention, isn't it? Why is an Internet company involved? Is this matter not that simple?"
Julien looked at him with disdain. "Of course not. Don't you know that ordinary media never dare to rumor about my woman without someone's authorization and support?"
"Of course yes, but I just thought these media were crazy and wanted to attract attention, so..." Luke's voice faded.
He realized how innocent and stupid his thoughts were.
Julien sneered, "I don't know how you've kept your position as the Chase Group's president. You have been doing business for ten years, right? Do you really think that someone will abandon their future for the sake of momentary interests?"
Luke was a little unhappy that Julien was saying this about him, but he didn't retort.
After all, he indeed thought too simply about this matter.
Taking a breath, Luke adjusted his mood and looked at Sydney with accusing eyes. "Syd, did you also know long ago that it wasn't so simple?"
Sydney avoided his gaze.
Seeing this, Luke understood. He said with a sad face, "Syd, you lied to me again."
"I didn't." Sydney felt a little awkward. "I just didn't refute it when you said those rumors had been created by the media to grab attention."
"No." Luke grunted, "You didn't tell me the truth anyway. You lied to me."
"Come on. Do you think you're still a boy?" Julien couldn't stand Luke being like this, reprimanding with a scowl, "What do you mean by 'lie to me'? You are just too stupid to figure out such a simple thing."
Julien's face was contemptuous.
Luke got annoyed. "Yes, I'm stupid, and you're smart. Then tell me. Who did that? Why did he cook up stories about me and Syd?"
Julien subconsciously looked at Sydney.
Sydney pretended not to know this, looking straight ahead.
Julien's heart lurched.
'I'm done for. She really knows that the person behind this mess is a woman who likes me, so she is angry.'
"Leaf, believe me. I will definitely find that woman. Don't be mad." Julien looked at the glass in front of Sydney, got up, and poured her some water, coaxing her with a careful face.
Sydney looked at the glass of water in front of her and then at Julien's nervous face, feeling amused.
If the woman behind this were not the daughter of the McDaniel family or had anything to do with Julien, Sydney would laugh and cheer up after he coaxed her so carefully.
Yet the person behind this was related to Julien, and Sydney did not know how he would deal with that person.
So she couldn't laugh.
Sydney pushed aside the glass of water Julien had poured, showing no intention of drinking it.
At the same time, she was telling Julien that she was angry and that she wouldn't cool down so easily.
Julien became even more nervous. Just when he didn't know what to do, Luke suddenly slapped the table. "What the hell? A woman?"
He stood up and pointed at Julien's nose. "Julien, don't tell me the person behind this mess is your suitor, huh?"
