Chapter 175 Arrogance
It was surprising that the Trison Corporation decided to look for the necklace when Sydney just got hold of it. Moreover, the statement specifically looked for a girl with a special necklace.
In other words, the Maddens wanted to look for the girl and not the necklace.
"Find out why the Maddens want to look for a girl with the special necklace," Julian said with his hand on the armrest.
The Maddens were looking for Sydney.
Just that the Maddens did not know it yet.
"Yes." Zach nodded.
Julien lowered his head and took out his phone. After a short moment of hesitation, he made a call.
Skylight Corporation.
Sydney was in the middle of making edits on a difficult document. Just as she finally got an idea, her phone rang and interrupted her train of thoughts.
Sydney picked up the phone and placed it next to her ear without looking at the caller ID. "Yes?"
Julien was silent when he heard the impatience in Sydney's voice.
She did not even like picking up his call?
"If you remain silent, I'll hang up." Sydney rubbed her eyebrows when the other side remained silent.
Julien pursed his lips and finally spoke. "It's me."
When Sydney heard his voice, she was stunned. She looked at the caller ID, saw that it was Julien's phone number, and placed the phone back next to her ear. Her voice became calmer. "President Flint, what's the matter?"
"Have you seen the release of Trison Corporation's official statement?" Julien asked her.
"Statement?" Sydney had no idea. "What statement?" Obviously, she had not seen it.
Could he be considered the first one who told her about this, then?
With a little joy in his heart, Julien cleared his throat and said, "The Maddens are looking for a girl with a special necklace, which is you."
"What? The Maddens are looking for me?" Sydney's hand tightened on her pen.
Julien nodded. "That's right. However, they don’t know that the person is you because they don't know that you have the necklace."
"Wait. Let me check something." Sydney put down her pen, placed her phone between her ear and her shoulder, and typed something on her keyboard.
Very quickly, she saw the statement on Trison
Corporation’s official website.
"That’s weird. How did the Maddens find out that the necklace is still around?" Sydney's eyebrows were in a tight furrow.
Like Julien, she wondered how the Maddens found out about the necklace.
This statement told them that the Maddens knew the existence of the necklace, and were looking for the one holding it.
"I'm not sure. But they released the statement a few days after you got the necklace. I thought they might have found out about the necklace by accident." Julien made a guess.
Sydney nodded and agreed.
"If the Maddens knew about the necklace by accident, then they should only look for the necklace. However, the statement clearly said they are looking for a girl. Did they think that Clarice Madden is still alive?” Sydney asked.
Julien's pupils constricted. "Maybe you're right. The Maddens thought that Clarice Madden was still alive."
It was unknown where the Maddens got the news from. They found out that Clarice’s necklace is still around, but they did not know that it was with Sydney. They only knew that a girl had it.
They instantly assumed that the girl happened to be Clarice, and released a statement like that.
"No way." Sydney was shocked. She stood up and continued, "Grandma said that my father drowned Clarice. How is that possible...?"
"Why not?" Julien cut her off. "Your necklace is the evidence."
Necklace?
Sydney subconsciously touched the necklace on her neck.
To prevent herself from losing it, she had the necklace with her all this while.
"Why is this necklace evidence that Clarice Madden is still alive?" Sydney asked.
Julien put his elbow against the car window and leaned his head against his arm. He replied, "If your father killed Clarice, then why would he go through the lengths of taking this necklace from
her? If she died, what’s the use of this necklace?"
Sydney's eyes widened.
He was right.
If she was murdered, then why would the perpetrator leave a piece of evidence behind? It did not make any sense.
"Since your father made sure that you get the necklace before he passed away, there must be a secret behind it. Grandma told you the secret, but that didn’t mean that the necklace will now be useless,"
Julien said.
Sydney bit her lip. "I know that there must be a reason for my dad to give me the necklace. Other than the secret behind it, there must also be something else that he's asking me to do. Otherwise, why would he give me the necklace? He could have just told me about the conflict between the Maddens and the Raines."
When Julien heard her analysis, he was visibly impressed.
She was much smarter than he thought.
"Maybe your dad gave you the necklace to look for Clarice Madden," Julien said.
Sydney was not surprised.
She had this thought.
"Maybe the one my father drowned back then wasn't Clarice Madden but a random toy. He then placed Clarice somewhere else, and she's now a grown woman," Sydney muttered as she touched
the necklace.
Julien rubbed his fingers against each other. With a hint of anticipation that was barely noticeable, he asked, "Do you want me to help you look for her?"
"No need." Sydney pursed her lips and rejected it without a second thought. "This is my matter, so I don’t need your help. You should lend a hand to Ms.Madden instead. After all, this is related to her
sister."
Sydney thought that if Clarice Madden was alive, and if her father intended for her to look for Clarice, what did he intend to do next? Did he want to return Clarice to the Maddens, or did he want something else?
Although Julien knew that Sydney would say no, when he heard it, he was still feeling uncomfortable.
He lowered his gaze. "The Maddens will look for her themselves. They don't need my help."
"Then why did you offer your help to me?" Sydney rolled her eyes.
Julien was speechless.
Sydney heard someone knocking on her door." President Flint, although I don't know why you decided to tell me about the necklace, I still want to express my gratitude. Thank you for letting me know.
I have some matters on hand, so I'll be hanging up.”
After she put down her phone, she sat down again. " Come in."
Sophie pushed the door open. "Vice President Raines, President Dayton is back."
Sydney smiled when she heard that. "Just in time.
Inform all the senior executives for a meeting."
"Yes." Sophie knew what the meeting was about, so she happily nodded.
On the other side, Stephen Dayton got a notice for the meeting and sneered. "She can’t wait to show off that she lost, huh?"
"President Dayton, how do you know she lost? Maybe she won?" a senior manager asked with worry.
Stephen threw him a glare and his tone was full of disdain. "How can she win? I know her capabilities. None of us have any experience in new energy technology, and none of us can confidently come out with a plan. I don't think she can do it and get the position of the main cooperation partner."
"But she’s so eager to hold a meeting. I'm worried that H
"Don’t worry. She didn't win the project for sure. Let's go to the conference room and see what she has to say."
After saying that, Stephen walked out of his office.
When the senior manager looked at Stephen's arrogant silhouette, he sighed and followed behind him.
Everyone gathered in the conference room.
Sydney took the first seat on the left and looked at the time. She asked, "Is anyone else left behind?”NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
