Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 1181 Just Want to Teach Him a Lesson

He now realized that her act of venting anger on his behalf was not motivated by Dallin's actions of killing his father, betraying his mother, and leaving him without parents, for it was no longer a small grudge that could be resolved with a beating, but a deep-seated hatred that involved life and death.

She wouldn't have helped him vent his anger without knowing that. Therefore, her offer to help him vent was related to something else, something much smaller in comparison to the previous two incidents.

Sydney tucked her hair behind her ear and glanced at Zach. "Do you remember our conversation yesterday morning when I mentioned that we should have a discussion last night?"

Julien nodded. "Yes, I remember."

Sydney sighed. "But we spent last night at the old residence, and..."

At this point, she suddenly realized something and happened to see the gossiping look on Zach's face. Blushing, she quickly glossed over this part by saying, "So we didn't get a chance to talk last night."

"Is the matter you wanted to discuss with me related to what happened to Dallin?" Julien immediately guessed.

Sydney nodded. "Yes, when you came back the night before yesterday, Zach came to Shallow Bay looking for you and you two had a conversation. I don't know what was said, but after Zach left, your mood changed drastically. It was obvious that something had happened. I asked you about it, but you refused to tell me and said you were fine. However, I could tell that you kept it to yourself because you didn't want me to worry. But this only deepened my concerns about you. I couldn't sleep well that night."

"Sorry." With an apologetic look, Julien gently hugged her. "I didn't know."

He really didn't want to worry her because of that incident, so he kept it from her. But he didn't expect that she couldn't sleep well because of it. It was his oversight.

As for Zach in the driver's seat, he finally figured out why Sydney had given Dallin a beating after listening to her words. He lowered his head guiltily and turned around, trying to make himself less noticeable.

Indeed, evasion was futile and the truth would always come to light.

Sydney would eventually tell Julien that he was the one informing her.

Zach had mistakenly believed that Sydney and Julien had a candid conversation the previous night, only to discover that they hadn't spoken at all.

He had assumed that if Sydney were to inform Julien about the situation, as long as he wasn't physically present, Julien wouldn't be able to exact any form of punishment upon him.

However, to his disappointment, Sydney did not speak to Julien in his absence. It was only now, with him present, that she began to mention this matter. Given the circumstances, it seemed highly possible that Sydney would reveal his actions, and Julien would surely teach him a good lesson after finding out the truth.

Zach looked up at the sky helplessly.

Well, he could only see the car roof, not the sky.

Sydney was unaware of Zach's growing uneasiness. She relaxed in Julien's embrace, resting her chin lightly on his shoulder as she smiled at the car window. She reassured him, "You kept it from me because you didn't want me to worry or be burdened by it, and I understand your intentions. It's

not your fault that I couldn't sleep well, for it was due to my own concern for you. When you forgot to bring back the USB drive yesterday, I took the chance to ask Zach about what you had discussed last night."

At this point, Julien narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the driver's seat. He now knew that Zach was the informant.

Zach had already turned around, so Julien couldn't see him.

But even without eye contact, it still sent a shiver down Zach's spine, causing him to tense up, for he could sense Julien's piercing gaze.

"He told you everything?" Julien asked.

It was more of a statement than a question.

Sydney replied with a nod, "Yes, I told Zach about your mood and reaction at that time. He was worried about you, so he told me everything. He knew that as a subordinate, he couldn't comfort you properly and that you might not listen to him anyway. So he confided in me, hoping that I could comfort you. After all, you are more likely to listen to me."

Zach felt deeply moved.

By saying this, Sydney was also conveying to Julien that Zach didn't intend to blabber about it. In that case, he hoped that Julien wouldn't blame him.

Julien pursed his lips. "This won't happen again."

Zach understood that Julien was talking to him. He nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I know. Mr. Flint, there won't be a next time."

With that, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Julien's words clearly indicated that he wouldn't be punished.

This was all thanks to Sydney.

However, Sydney was not happy and her face sank. "What do you mean by 'This won't happen again'? What if we encounter a similar situation next time? Are you going to keep everything from me and leave me to worry alone?" With these words, Zach and Julien realized that they hadn't taken Sydney's feelings into consideration.

After giving Julien a helpless look, Zach quickly turned his head away as if it had nothing to do with him. And indeed, it was not his place to intervene. They were a couple, and it was Julien who had misspoken first. So it was up to Julien to handle it himself.

As for Zach himself, he figured it would be best for him to remain inconspicuous and refrain from further involvement.

Julien felt very dissatisfied with Zach's behavior, and his handsome face turned gloomy. However, he couldn't vent his anger on Zach now.

After all, what was more urgent was to make Sydney happy again.

Rubbing his forehead, Julien looked at Sydney, admitting fault. "I'm sorry. I didn't consider it carefully. I won't hide things from you in the future, so there won't be any similar situations. What do you think?"

Sydney gave him a glance and snorted, "OK, that's more acceptable."

Since her mood had improved a little, Julien breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he had successfully appeased her.

Sydney felt both angry and amused at Julien's relieved expression. Was she really such an unreasonable person who was hard to appease? Why did it seem like Julien had put a lot of effort just to calm her down?

Not wanting to argue with him, Sydney adjusted her expression and continued with the previous topic. “I learned from Zach that Dallin used your mother's keepsake to threaten you, which caused you to feel depressed. I was extremely angry upon hearing this. How could there be such a disgusting person like Dallin? Regardless, your mother was once together with him, and they shared a relationship. Even if he didn't truly love your mother, he should have at least respected the previous relationship and let your mother go. Moreover, your mother has already passed away, yet he continues to hold on and use a deceased person's belongings to make threats, all to protect his illegitimate daughter. This behavior is truly disgusting, and so in my anger, I wanted to teach him a lesson."

"So you had someone put a sack on him and beat him up?" Julien chuckled.

Sydney smiled sheepishly. "Yes, as you know, my power is limited. I have no other way to punish Dallin except to use such childish and superficial methods."
