Chapter 1136 The Truth
Sydney compromised to get ahead.
If Zach fell for it, then, of course, it would be a good thing.
If he didn't, she would treat it as the Flint Corporation's secret and would not ask any more questions about it.
So now, it was up to Zach to make a choice.
Sydney stopped talking and just quietly looked at Zach in the rearview mirror.
Probably because Sydney had been with Julien for a long time, she learned something from Julien.
So when Zach was facing Sydney, he felt a little tingling in his scalp and quite a lot of pressure.
He thought, 'No wonder they are a couple. They look the same when they pressure others.'
Zach scratched his head, sighed in his heart, and finally lost in the stalemate with Sydney. He raised his eyes to the rearview mirror, looking at Sydney in the backseat. "Ms. Raines, was Mr. Flint really strange last night?"
"Why else would I have asked you after he left?" Sydney replied evenly.
Zach wiped his face. "Alright, then I won't hide it anymore."
A gleam of delight flashed in Sydney's eyes.
It seemed that she had won.
Sydney patted her bag gently, her face still calm as she said, "Go ahead. Tell me what's going on. I don't think the Flint Corporation is in trouble. If so, you wouldn't have given in so quickly."
Zach let out a bitter laugh. "Ms. Raines, you're right. What I told Mr. Flint last night is not about the Flint Corporation but about Dallin."
"Oh?" Sydney narrowed her eyes. "Dallin is still in Port City and hasn't returned to Jackal City, right?"
"Yeah." Zach nodded. "You don't know that Mr. Flint went to see Dallin when he got back the parts for you."
"What?" Sydney immediately sat up straight. "He personally went to see Dallin?"
"Yes." Zach unbuckled his seatbelt and turned to Sydney so that it would be more convenient for him to talk to her. "Mr. Flint talked a lot to Dallin that day about the parts and the past of the previous generation. Mr. Flint ascertained that Dallin was indeed the one who had killed his dad."
Sydney's eyes widened. "Really?"
"Yeah." Zach nodded with a serious expression. "In fact, over the years, Mr. Flint had always suspected Dallin. It was just that there was no evidence. Plus, Dallin had not come to Port City. Even when Mr. Flint went to Jackal City, he didn't see Dallin come out of the Sullivan family's place. Thus, it was very difficult for Mr. Flint to determine whether the murderer was Dallin or not until this time. Dallin probably knew that he could not hide some things for the rest of his life, so he told the truth after Mr. Flint's provocation. Dallin is very confident that even though Mr. Flint knows that the murderer is him, Mr. Flint can't do anything with him. "
"Why on earth is that? Could it be that Dallin has something or someone to rely on?" Sydney frowned.
Zach shook his head. "The specifics are still unknown, but most likely yes. Mr. Flint has already ordered people to secretly investigate Dallin. As long as we know his backing, we will have no fear."
Sydney nodded slowly. "That's true, yet last night, you guys did not talk about this, did you? After all, it happened two days ago. There's no need to be upset about it now."
"Exactly." Zach pushed up his glasses. "What I told Mr. Flint last night is indeed not about that, but it's somewhat related to what happened that day. After Mr. Flint got the parts back and was sure that the person who killed his father was Dallin, he fixed Dallin and was ready to come back to you. Before Mr. Flint left, Dallin said something else to him."
Zach looked at Sydney.
Sydney pursed her lips. "What is it? Is it about me?"
"Yes," Zach sighed. "And it's also related to Greta. Dallin came to Port City to save Greta. You turned him down, so he had to think of another way. So this time, Dallin put his attention on Mr. Flint. He threatened Mr. Flint, saying that if Mr. Flint didn't release Greta, he would dispose of the relics of Mr. Flint's mom.
"The relics of Julien's mom?" Sydney was surprised. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Zach lifted his chin. "Yes, Ms. Raines. As you know, Mr. Flint's mom used to be Dallin's girlfriend, so Dallin naturally has her relics. This gives him the opportunity to threaten Mr. Flint."
Sydney's face reddened with anger. "This old guy actually used a dead person's things to threaten others. How shameless!"
Zach sneered, "For people like Dallin, as long as they can achieve their goals, they can use anything to threaten others, even if it's related to the people they once loved."
Sydney turned her head slightly to look out the car window at the elevator, her eyes sad. "Julien must have been very distressed at that time."
"That's not true." Zach shook his head. "But he was angry. I found that when Mr. Flint mentioned his mom, he was somehow less emotional than before. So when Dallin used the relics to threaten Mr. Flint that day, I didn't see much emotion on Mr. Flint's face except for his anger. I don't know if I misunderstood him."
"Probably not," Sydney smiled.
Zach's eyes widened slightly. "Ms. Raines, do you know something?"
Sydney rubbed her temples. "I found out the other day. When Julien was small, his mother deliberately trained him to make his personality like Dallin's. Julien didn't know about it until I realized this and told him several days ago, and then he asked his grandmother for confirmation, so..."
She didn't continue.
But Zach caught on and gasped, "I see. I can't believe there was such a thing. I didn't even know."
"Julien didn't tell you, and according to his current personality, he wouldn't like to talk about these things in the open," Sydney explained.
Zach nodded. "I understand. No wonder when Dallin mentioned his mom, Mr. Flint showed no mood swings except for anger, but no matter what, she was his mother and loved him when he was a child, so Mr. Flint was mad at Dallin for using her relics to threaten him. Mr. Flint was also angry that his mom had loved such a man in her youth. He felt Dallin was unworthy of his mom."
Sydney put her hands down. "Yeah, so did Julien agree to let Greta go?"
Zach waved his hand repeatedly. "Of course not. Mr. Flint is not the kind of person who will be easily threatened. Besides, this matter is about you. Even if Mr. Flint had wanted to agree, he would have discussed it with you before making the decision."
"So Julien refused?" Sydney rubbed her chin.
Zach waved his hand once again. "No. Mr. Flint didn't take Dallin's threat seriously at all, so at that time, he directly left. I didn't expect that last night I would receive a phone call from Dallin's assistant. He mentioned this matter again, saying that if Mr. Flint didn't say yes, they would auction off Mrs. Flint's relics. He also said many people would want the relics of the mother of the Flint Corporation's president. He was clearly humiliating Mr. Flint and his family."
"No wonder last night Julien was so..." Sydney bit her lip, her eyes overflowing with worry.
