Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!
Chapter 869 Julien's Classmate

She wasn't joking. She was serious.

After all, if she tried to coax him to be happy and failed, she would definitely feel sad, because what she did was in vain.

When Julien sensed Sydney's seriousness, he straightened his back, changed his expression and then shook his head. "I'm not angry. I feel happy."

Sydney saw him sit up straight, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

She knew that he cheered himself up due to her attitude.

He was anxious that she would get annoyed.

'He is considerate anyway.'

"Since you're not unhappy, give me a smile." Sydney looked at Julien.

Julien forced a smile.

Sydney nodded. "Okay. It's fine."

In fact, his smile was very reluctant.

She knew that he was not a man who liked smiling. He would only show a smile when he rejoiced while being with her. Even that smile was faint.

If others asked him to smile, he would ignore them.

It was great that he did as she required.

Thus, she accepted his smile.

Finally, the atmosphere in the car turned as good as before, as if nothing had happened.

If Julien didn't mention that thing, Sydney wouldn't talk about it.

Half an hour later, they reached the police station.

Sydney and Julien went in, holding hands. After the registration, someone took them to see Greta.

Unfortunately, Greta was being interrogated by the police, so they couldn't meet her now.

Sydney was not disappointed. Anyway, she knew the rules and was willing to obey them, so she and Julien walked to sit down on the chairs and waited.

When Greta's interrogation was over, they could see her then.

But the moment they sat down, a man in a suit and leather shoes stopped in front of them.

Sydney saw a shadow. Then she looked up and saw a man wearing glasses. Although his appearance was ordinary, he looked rather confident, as if everything had been under his control. He was smiling at her and Julien.

His smile was polite and warm. Logically speaking, such a smile was friendly.

But Sydney didn't think the same, as she disliked the man.

She frowned and asked, "May I know who you are?"

The man had a special vibe, and his suit came from a famous brand, so it could be inferred that he was rich.

Though Sydney didn't know this man, Julien recognized him and became annoyed.

"Are you Greta's lawyer?" Before the man could answer Sydney's question, Julien had already revealed his identity.

"You're a lawyer?" A trace of surprise flashed in Sydney's eyes while she was staring at the man in front of her.

'It turns out that this man is a lawyer. And he really looks like a lawyer.

'Unfortunately, he is Greta's lawyer.'

It was no wonder Sydney didn't like him at first glance.

How was it possible for her to have a good impression of someone who supported Greta?

"Yes, Mr. Flint. I'm Miss Sullivan's attorney. Long time no see." The man smiled at Julien awkwardly.

Sydney looked at Julien, whose face was dark. She tilted her head in doubt. "Do you know the lawyer?"

Julien narrowed his eyes and replied, "I know him. He is my college classmate. He was also the former director of the legal department of the Flint Corporation." Hearing Julien's introduction, Sydney widened her eyes.

'Julien's college classmate?

'The former director of the legal department of the Flint Corporation?'

Sydney looked at the man in shock.

Under her gaze, the man became more and more awkward.

He touched the tip of his nose with embarrassment. "Hello."

"You are Julien's classmate. You once worked as the director of the legal department of the Flint Corporation. Why do you become Greta's lawyer?" Sydney asked.

A lawyer usually knew the opponent of his employer, because he ascertained his potential employer's background and social status before deciding whether to accept a lawsuit.

If his employer's opponent was powerful, he would definitely offend the opponent if he won the lawsuit. Then he might be targeted and harmed by the opponent later.

So, this lawyer must know that Greta's opponents were Julien and Sydney.

Now that he knew Julien, he should have avoided confronting Julien and rejected Greta. But he didn't do it and became Greta's attorney.

Did the lawyer think his status was higher than Julien's and was not afraid of offending Julien?

Or did he think that Julien wouldn't do anything to him as they once were classmates anyway?

Sydney's thoughts were so easy to read, for her expression betrayed her. Looking at her face, the lawyer became more embarrassed. "Well... Er... Mr. Flint should know the reason."

Hearing this, Sydney immediately turned to look at Julien. "You know the reason?"

Julien narrowed his eyes and explained, "He is very greedy for money. The only reason why he serves as Greta's attorney and neglects the fact that I am Greta's opponent and that this is an unwinnable lawsui is that Greta offers him a great deal of money."

Sydney looked at the lawyer again, as if she had wanted to confirm whether it was true.

The lawyer nodded quickly. "Yes, she gives me so much money."

As he spoke, he covered his face in shame. "Actually, I'll just go through the procedures. I read the documents carefully and know what has happened. Miss Sullivan should take the main liability, and the evidence is conclusive. She admitted that even if she hired a lawyer, she would not win the lawsuit. The reason why I accepted the lawsuit is just to get the money. After all, the money is sent to me. Why should I refuse it?"

Sydney twitched her mouth corner speechlessly. The man's words were reasonable.

If she were him, she might not refuse either.

After all, the money was almost a gift for him.

If he declined, there was something wrong with his mind.

So, after hearing the lawyer's explanation, Sydney understood why he took on Greta's lawsuit.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it?" At this moment, Julien narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked. "No matter who becomes Greta's lawyer, as long as he reads some documents, he knows that Greta will definitely lose. Hiring a lawyer to mediate is just a process. Wouldn't it be better to hire a lawyer casually? Why did she spend a lot of money employing you? Tell me whether the person behind the scenes wants you to plead with me."

He stared at the lawyer.

The lawyer pushed his silver-rimmed glasses up and gave a resigned smile. "Mr. Flint, I really can't hide anything from you. From college to now, your insight is always so keen. That's right. Mr. Sullivan found me on purpose. Somehow, he got the news that we were classmates, so he especially paid a lot of money to engage me. He hopes you can show some mercy to Miss Sullivan for the sake of me." Then he pointed at the interrogation room.

Greta was there now.

Looking at Julien and then at the lawyer, Sydney scoffed secretly.

'Show mercy?

'The person behind the scenes will definitely get disappointed.

'Julien is not the kind of person who makes concessions.

'He will only do so for Grandma and me.'
