Chapter 72 Released on Bail
Chapter 72 Released on Bail
"You'll find out soon." The corners of Sydney's lips raised into a sneer.
Soon, several hurried footsteps came from the elevator. In just a few seconds, four uniformed security guards arrived before the three of them
That was when Jayden realized that things were getting serious. After looking around, he quietly retreated to the door, took out his mobile phone, and started to make a call.
Sydney noticed his movements and knew who he was calling. However, she did nothing to stop him. Instead, she pointed at Velma and said to the four security guards, "This person was trying to break down my door early in the morning. She has a vicious attitude and poses a great threat to my safety. She also broke my mobile phone and damaged my property. I want you to detain her and send her to the police station."
Velma screamed and cursed in anger. "Sydney Raines, you little wench. How dare you-"
"Look, she's still insulting me. I ask that you detain her immediately!" Sydney interrupted Velma.
"Yes, Ms. Raines," the four security guards answered before they stepped forward, grabbed Velma, and walked towards the elevator.
"Mom!" Jayden looked at his phone that nobody was answering and then at Velma whom the security guards had caught. He did not know what to do.
Having been grabbed by the four security guards, Velma could not break free, so she could only turn her head and glare at Sydney viciously. Her mouth continued to scream all sorts of curses at Sydney.
Sydney could not imagine that those vulgar and unpleasant curses were coming from the mouth of a rich noblewoman.
With a ding, the door of the elevator closed.
Velma's voice was finally gone, and the entire hallway was silent.
Jayden hung up the unanswered call and looked at Sydney angrily. "Why did you do that?"
"What did I do?" Sydney leaned on the door frame and spoke lazily.
Jayden gripped his phone tightly. "You had someone take my mother away."
"It's your mother's own fault, isn't it?" Sydney crossed her arms. "I made myself very clear. Your mother tried to break down my door and put my personal security at risk. That alone would have justified me getting security to take her away. However, she also smashed my phone and cursed me!"
Sydney pointed to his ears. "You heard what your mother called me. You heard the vulgar and vicious words she said. Am I wrong to have security arrest her? If it were you, you would have done the same."
"I..." Speechless, Jayden lowered his head.
Yes, if he were in her shoes, getting scolded like that, he would not let the other party off easily either.
He would even beat the person up until they could no longer curse at him.
Sydney snickered at Jayden's downcast look. "If you can't do it yourself, don't go accusing others."
Jayden's face went red with embarrassment. "I didn't!"
Sydney could not care less about him and closed the door.
"Hey..." Jayden was just calling out to her when his phone rang.
He looked down and saw that it was Julien calling. His face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly answered," Julien, why didn't you answer my call earlier?"
"Do you need money?" Upon hearing the urgency in Jayden's tone, Julien put the call on speakerphone and dropped the phone on his desk. He looked at the reports on the computer as he asked indifferently.
Jayden frowned unhappily. "Of course not. Do I only call you to ask for money?"
"What else do you call for?"
Jayden choked for a moment and could not find the words to refute.
Then, he looked at the door of Sydney's house, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, I admit it. I used to call you to ask for money, but not this time. It's something important."
"What is it?"
"Mom has been brought to the police station."
"What?" Julien's eyes narrowed, and the tone of his voice dropped. "What happened?"
Jayden did not dare to hide anything from him and told him the whole story. "That was what happened, so Sydney called the security guards to take Mom away."
Julien's brows twitched, and he rubbed his fingers on his brows several times before he managed to calm down. He suppressed the anger within him and said coldly, "I got it. I'll go to the station now. Also, how is she?"
"She?" Jayden was stunned. "She, who?"
Julien's thin lips pursed unhappily. "Sydney."
"Oh, she's fine. Why are you asking?" Jayden was curious.
Julien's eyes flickered for a moment. "It's nothing. You said Mom tried to make a move against her. If Sydney had gotten hurt, Mom would need a letter of understanding for her bail, so I was just asking." "I see." Jayden shook his head without suspecting anything. "Don't worry. Sydney is fine. Mom didn't hit her."
"That's good." Julien could not say why, but he suddenly felt relieved.
After hanging up the phone, he got up, took the black woolen coat from a shelf to the side, and left the office in large strides.
Since Velma did not hurt anyone, Julien bailed her out easily. However, he had to pay a considerable fine.
When the two walked out of the police station, Jayden, who had been waiting outside, brightened up and immediately went up to them. "Mom, Julien, you're finally out."
Velma said with a twisted expression, "Hmph! How dare that little wench dare to send me to a place like this? She humiliated me! I'm so mad. I'll definitely teach her a lesson the next time!"
Little wench?
Julien's face turned cold, and his aura became intimidating.
So that was how Velma addressed Sydney, huh? She said it so smoothly too. It was obvious that Velma called her that often.
However, he had no idea at all.
A trace of anger rose from the bottom of his heart.
There was also a touch of displeasure in Julien's eyes when he looked at Velma. "Mom, I told you last time not to cause Sydney any trouble. Why don't you listen?"
"As for you," Julien looked at Jayden coldly. "Why didn't you stop Mom?"
Jayden pouted, aggrieved. "I tried to stop her, but I couldn't. Mom found out that Lyra's kidnapping had to do with sis- Sydney and said that she was going to find her. What was I supposed to do?" Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
"My heart just aches for Lyra," Velma said furiously and indignantly. "Lyra told me this morning that the person who kidnapped her was that wench's suitor, so she must have instructed him to do so!"
Julien's expression sank with every 'wench' that left Velma's lips. "Lyra's kidnapper is indeed Sydney's suitor, but Sydney didn't instruct him to do it."
Intuition told him that the matter had nothing to do with Sydney.
Jayden nodded and said, "I, too, think she didn't direct it."
Velma was so angry that she pulled Jayden's ear." Jayden Flint, whose side are you on? Why are you speaking up for that little wench?"
Even Julien looked at Jayden with surprise.
He knew exactly what Jayden's attitude towards Sydney was before.
However, he could not believe that Jayden's attitude changed so much now.
"Ow, Mom, it hurts! Let go!" Jayden yelped in pain and was about to jump up.
Velma finally felt sorry for her son and let him go. ' Hmph. Let's see if you dare to speak up for that wench again. Don't forget, Lyra is your sister-in-law. Lyra is the only one you can help. Do you hear me?"
Jayden pouted and rubbed his ears, muttering in a soft voice, "I hear you."
"Alright, Mom. I'll send the both of you home." Julien rubbed his brows and opened the car door.
After sending the mother and son back to Flint Mansion, Julien drove away again.
Along the way, he pondered for a moment before calling Sydney.
That was the first time he had called her since the divorce
The phone connected quickly, and the woman's polite and gentle voice sounded. "Who is this?"
