Julien sensed from his grandmother's tone that she was not angry, so his eyes lit up," Grandma, you are not angry?"
"Why should I be angry? It is rare for you to do something with such dedication. Why would I discourage you?" Julien’s grandmother said with a smile.
Julien's expression eased up, "Thank you, grandma."
"It's OK. But even if you give Sydney the opportunity to meet those people to make connections..."
Julie knew what his grandmother was going to say, so he interrupted her, "I took a set of my mother's jewelry and gave it to Sydney in your name. She'll wear it to the party then, and it should help her talk to the big shots there."
Valuable jewelry would give a person an air of prestige.
So even though Skylight was just a small company, people would look up to Sydney for the sake of the jewelry. They would assume the Raines were a powerful family, and they would be glad to talk to Sydney.
Otherwise, people there wouldn't want to talk to a nobody. That was how realistic it was.
"Okay." Julien's grandmother nodded, "You have a thoughtful plan. It seems I was overly worried."
Julien had a faint smile. Then he thought of something and said, "By the way, grandma, Sydney believes you gave her the jewelry, so she should call you later to thank you. Don't give me away." Julien said seriously.
The old lady had a wry smile, "Am I that stupid? Don't worry. I won't give you away."
"Thank you, grandma." Julien smiled.
The old lady gave him her word. Before she was about to say anything else, her cell phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, the old lady couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
'Sydney and Julien make the call almost at the same time!'
Julien had just told his grandmother that Sydney might call to thank her, and now Sydney was actually calling.
"Julien, Sydney is calling. I have to take her call."
Julien acknowledged, "OK."
Hanging up the phone, Julien stared at the screen of his phone for a few seconds before putting the phone in his pocket. Then he stepped into the elevator.
Soon, Julien got out of Shallow Bay.
Zach was standing by the car and leaning against the car door. When he saw Julien coming, he stood up straight, "Mr. Flint."
Seeing Zach had a grave expression, Julien frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"
Zach answered, "The police had sent some clues about the suspect in your car accident." "What is it?" Julien narrowed his eyes," Didn't they already find out the criminals were the same group that killed my father?"
"Yes. But the police just got some new leads on the real murderer behind that group." Zach said in a solemn voice.
Julien's pupils contracted. An icy aura radiated from his body. "The real murderer behind that gang?"
"That’s right. That person is the real murderer. For twelve years, he has been hiding himself in the shadows. The police never found a single clue about him. Now they have finally found something."
