Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!
Chapter 728 I Can't Be Her

Of course, this was only his guess. He still had to verify it.

Seeing Julien's tight frown and serious look, Sydney couldn't help but get serious. "Julien, what's wrong?"

Julien raised his eyes to look at her. "Ask the court."

"Why?" Sydney tilted her head in confusion.

Julien said, "I have a suspicion that needs to be verified, so I have to know if Brandon has contacted the court to check on your adoption approval or to ask about your adoption back then." "What?" Sydney was even more puzzled. "Why would Brandon ask that?"

"You'll know if you contact the court." Julien didn't answer her question. He just told her to hurry up and contact the court.

Sydney had no choice but to take out her phone and do as she was told.

Two minutes later, she put down her phone with a serious expression and looked up at Julien. "You are right. Brandon sent someone to ask. What exactly are you suspecting?" She was curious about it.

Julien put his hand on the top of her head and patted it gently. "I'm suspecting that Brandon might think you're his daughter." "What?" Sydney's mouth twitched. Then she narrowed her eyes and looked at the man strangely. "Julien, do you have a fever?"

With that, she reached out to touch his forehead. "It's not hot. You have no fever, but why are you talking nonsense?"

"I'm not talking nonsense." Julien took Sydney's hand off his forehead and said resignedly.

Sydney stared at him. "Then why did you say that? How could it be possible?"

Julien looked her straight in the eye and slowly said, "Because he thinks you are Clarice."

Sydney's pupils twitched slightly, and for a moment, she was in silence as if shocked by the man's words.

But after a while, she suddenly fell about laughing as if she had heard a big joke. She couldn't stop it. Her face turned red, and the corners of her eyes even faintly glistened with tears. "Hahahaha, too funny. Clarice. Hahaha..."

Julien looked at the laughing woman on his lap. His eyes darkened. He slightly tightened his grip on her waist, his voice slightly hoarse. "Stop laughing."

She laughed so unrestrainedly that her body was shaking.

When she shook, her body rubbed against his body inevitably.

And this was both a good and bad thing for him. Happiness and torture were mixed.

Julien was now a little regretful that he had just held her in his arms and let her sit on his lap.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so tortured now.

Julien looked at the woman who was still laughing in his arms, and then he looked down at her breasts that were trembling slightly and gently rubbing against his chest, which ignited his desire.

He tried hard to restrain himself.

Julien closed his eyes, tightened his grip on the woman's waist again, and said, "Stop laughing. Do you hear me?"

Sydney did not know that she had inadvertently turned Julien on. She took a deep breath and gradually stopped laughing. She was blushing and looking at the man. "You can't blame me for laughing. What you said was a little too hilarious. You think Brandon suspects that I'm Clarice. This is a fable!"

With that, she couldn't help but laugh again.

Seeing this, Julien raised her chin. "No more laughing, or I'll kiss you."

Once these words came out, Sydney hurriedly covered her mouth and shook her head repeatedly, indicating that she was not going to laugh.

She didn't want to be kissed fiercely by this man. He would make her unable to breathe.

As Julien saw this, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

He suddenly hoped that she would continue to laugh.

But he was always a man of his word, and he did what he had promised. After seeing her stop laughing, he released her chin, and his expression became serious. "I was not joking when I said Brandon might think you were Clarice. Think about the date your father stole Clarice, the date he threw her into the river, and the date you were adopted. "

Hearing the man's words, Sydney lowered her eyes and thought back.

This made her understand something, and her eyes widened. "You mean..."

"It seems that you have understood what I mean." Julien said with gleaming eyes, "The dates of these three events were almost next to each other. Clarice was thrown into the river by your father, and immediately after that, you were adopted by your father. How could Brandon not suspect that you are Clarice?"

Sydney's mouth opened, but she did not speak. Her mind was a mess.

She thought, 'Yes, Clarice was stolen by Dad and thrown into the river, and then I appeared in the Raines family and was adopted by Dad. The two things happened so closely that people suspect that I'm Clarice. That's why Brandon sent someone to South Lake Hospital and the court to inquire about this. But...'

"But I can't be Clarice!" Sydney looked up at Julien with firm eyes. "Even though the three things happened closely, I am not Clarice. At that time, Dad and Brandon were deadly enemies. So how could Dad have raised his enemy's daughter? Moreover, if I were Clarice, who would be Denna?"

Denna?

An icy light flashed in Julien's eyes.

Denna was just a shameless thief and an impostor.

But he would not tell her this.

Sydney didn't know what Julien was thinking at the moment, nor did she notice any change in Julien's expression.

She bit her lip and said, "Denna is the real Clarice. Last time, when I tried to reveal that Denna was the spy that Hunter and I had sent to the Madden family, Denna said that she was the real Clarice and pulled out her hair on the spot. Denna and Brandon took a paternity test, and the results showed that they were relatives. You were present at the time, so you also saw it, didn't you?"

She took Julien's arm and shook it eagerly, desperately wanting him to confirm for her that she was not Clarice.

Julien looked at Sydney and nodded slightly. "Yes, I saw it. Denna is indeed Clarice."

Hearing the man's words, Sydney sighed in relief and smiled. "So Brandon is overthinking. After all, the dates are close to each other. It's normal that he thinks a lot about it, but when he calms down, he will surely laugh at how ridiculous his behavior was. He thinks that his enemy's daughter is his biological daughter."

Julien didn't say anything. He just stroked the top of her head and said yes.

He had wanted to ask her indirectly what she would do if she was Clarice.

But now, it seemed there was no need.

Just learning that Brandon suspected Sydney of being Clarice made her so resistant that she constantly tried to prove that she wasn't Clarice.

That was enough to show how much Sydney hated being Brandon's daughter.

So if she knew that she was Clarice, she would break down and do something crazy. Julien dared not think about it.

He suddenly hugged Sydney tightly with mixed feelings. His heart was heavy.

Seeing Sydney's reaction just now made him even more determined to conceal her identity. He would never let her know that she was Clarice.

At least, he would not let her know this until Brandon died.

Sydney, unaware of Julien's decision, poked his back with her finger and asked with concern, "Julien, what's wrong?"
