Whether Christopher was willing to help her or not, it no longer mattered. He didn't owe Sydney anything and wasn't obliged to help her. It was good enough that he was willing to hear her out.

Sydney looked up and said, "I'm not expecting you to help me by telling you all these. You can just hear me out. I'll figure a way out myself."

"How are you going to do that?" Christopher asked.

Sydney pondered for a long time, and her eyes grew sharp. "If he were to force me to a corner, I'd die along with him. I'll kill him and go to jail, at most. Or I could kill myself after killing him. Whatever it is..."
