Chapter 973 Who Are the People in the Private Box?
"I didn't know at first," Julien continued, "Hunter came to me and wanted to talk to me about government investment earlier. When we were talking, Hunter received a gift, which was sent by Clarice, and that day was White Valentine's Day. Hunter looked very unhappy at that time and told me that this was not the first time that Clarice had sent gifts to him. More than that, he even said that Clarice often found opportunities to encounter him. Therefore, it's not difficult to know Clarice's thoughts."
"Wow, I can't believe this..." Sydney was shocked.
Julien nodded, "At that time, we were not back together, and this thing had nothing to do with you and me, so I didn't tell you."
Sydney became silent. She didn't know what to say, and she also didn't know whether she should sympathize with Hunter, who was pursued by Clarice.
Meanwhile, she thought it was a little funny.
"Then it has been a while since Clarice has fallen in love with Hunter," Sydney ate the food in front of her.
Julien drank a mouthful of red wine, "Before that day, Clarice should also have seen Hunter several times. Clarice should have fallen in love with Hunter soon after she knew Hunter."
"Clarice fell for Hunter during that time?" Sydney opened her eyes wide.
Julien paused for a moment. Then he looked at her, "You know it?"
Sydney nodded, "At the beginning, we found Clarice to let her go to the Madden family as an undercover, but we couldn't directly let her join the Madden family. She needed to be trained for a period of time to know the Maddens' information, but I was not the one who trained her, but Hunter. During the training period, Hunter almost met Clarice every day, so Clarice was likely to be attracted by Hunter after getting along with him for a long time. After all, Clarice had no chance to meet such an excellent man like Hunter in the past. Once she saw him, she would naturally be attracted by him."
"It should be," Julien raised his chin.
Sydney touched her forehead, "I really did not expect that our original plan would have such a great change. It not only helped the Madden family find their daughter but also let Hunter be pursued by Clarice. I guess Hunter is very regretful now."
Not to mention Hunter, Sydney regretted it too.
She wanted to put an undercover in the Madden family to find an opportunity to bring the Madden family down, but in the end, she actually helped the Madden family.
Julien said nothing.
Sydney sighed, "Unexpectedly, Hunter did not tell me this matter. I'm his partner."
Julien said, "He didn't tell you because he didn't want you to feel guilty. After all, you two made that plan together."
Sydney smiled bitterly, "Yes, so I regret it now."
"Don't regret it. No one would have thought of how it was going to end, would they?" Julien stroked her hair and said soothingly.
Sydney forced a smile and did not answer.
Julien put down his fork and looked at her with a smile, "Now do you believe that Clarice is not interested in me?"
Sydney snorted, "At first, when I noticed Clarice's behaviors, I did wonder if Clarice was jealous of me because she liked you. I thought she wanted to do something to gain your affection, and that was why she was so nervous and scared when she saw me. Because of this matter, I originally was going to ask you to explain it."
Julien was stunned at first. Then he chuckled, "I am quite wronged."
Sydney's face flushed with embarrassment, and then she said, "Yes, you are. At first, I did think that Clarice had fallen in love with you, but after I left the bathroom, Clarice followed me and looked at me. She had been very nervous until I entered the private room, so at that time, I knew that Clarice was not nervous because she liked you, but because there was something in her private room. She didn't want me to see that thing, so she followed me and watched me all the time. What on earth was in her private room that made Clarice so nervous that she wanted to drive me out of here?"
"She wanted to drive you out?" Julien's face sank.
Sydney said, "Yes. When Clarice was in the bathroom, she said directly she wanted me to leave. It's very ridiculous. She doesn't own this restaurant. What right does she have to let me leave?" Julien frowned and became a little angry, "If someone should leave, it should be her. She actually asked you to leave. Who is she?"
Sydney did not know that Julien began to hold a grudge against Clarice. Hearing his words, she nodded again and again, "Yes, I told her directly at that time. She looked very awkward at that time." Looking at the smile on Sydney's face, Julien stopped frowning. Then he gently wiped her mouth with a tissue and asked, "And then..."
After taking a sip of soup, Sydney uttered, "Then I left the bathroom and walked to our room. I found her expression was very complicated before she entered hers. I can't clearly describe what a complicated face it is. Anyway, I guess what Clarice didn't want me to see should be in her private room. What do you think is in her private room?"
Julien lowered his eyes and said nothing but thought in his heart, 'What made Clarice so scared must be Brandon and his wife. What a coincidence! Sydney suddenly wants to eat South Lake cuisine. Brandon and his wife are actually also here. It's probably Mrs. Madden's suggestion. Mrs. Madden used to live in South Lake and must like South Lake cuisine. It's no surprise they are here. Sydney, who is a native of Port City, likes to eat South Lake cuisine, which is a little strange, but it can also be thought as a personal preference. After all, there are no rules that a native of Port City can't like to eat dishes from other places. However, Sydney has already had many characteristics in line with Clarice, and now if Brandon and his wife find that Sydney also likes to eat South Lake cuisine, they will have more doubts. Clarice asked Sydney to leave, and it should be because she was afraid of Sydney meeting Brandon and his wife. However, Sydney did not leave, and Clarice didn't dare to force Sydney to leave, so Clarice followed Sydney to see if Sydney would meet Brandon and his wife. It didn't happen until Sydney returned to our private room, so Clarice naturally would breathe a sigh of relief.'
"What are you thinking?" Hearing no sound, Sydney could not help but push his arm gently.
Julien blinked, put away his thoughts, and smiled slightly, "I was just thinking that the people Clarice didn't want you to see should be Brandon and his wife." "Brandon and his wife?" Sydney exclaimed.
