Chester closed the car’s windows and glanced at the time. “Sarah has gone missing for a whole night. Rodney is very anxious. I reckon within half an hour, Rodney will be able to locate Eliza.”Freya’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing that. “He cares about Sarah so much. If something happens to Sarah…”“Eliza’s whole life will be ruined,” Chester continued. His voice was icy. “One entire night is enough for Eliza to do many things to her. Sarah will definitely not be in one whole piece. If so, Eliza will only be safe if you bear the accusation in her place.”Freya went silent in astonishment. However, she quickly calmed down from the shock. Chester said, “Firstly, you have an ulterior motive. Secondly, Rodney owes you and the child. He won’t send you to prison. Moreover, you have Ryan and his family backing you. You can get out of this unscathed.”Freya pulled her hair as her mind was in a mess. “Young Master Jewell, are you overestimating me? I think I don’t even amount to a str
Sarah was already barely alive from being tortured. She lay on the ground like a corpse, and blood had pooled underneath her. She only had one thought. She would rather die. “Please… I beg you. Kill me…”Sarah begged in despair. She regretted it at that moment. She should not have come back after she escaped from Australia back then. She had been tortured for too long. She could not endure it anymore. She blacked out and fainted. Eliza looked at the time. It should be daylight outside. She could not delay any longer. Although she wanted to continue torturing Sarah slowly, she reckoned that with Rodney’s abilities, he would be arriving soon. It was okay if she was caught. She was already prepared for the worst.However, she had to take Sarah’s life.Eliza took out a knife that she had prepared. The gleam of the blade reflected her fierce, reddened eyes that were behind the mask. If possible, she did not want to go this far either. However, she could not tolerate Sarah
“Give me the knife.” Eliza did not want to hide anymore. “I’m doing what I have to do. Let me take Sarah’s life.”“Eliza, you can’t kill her. You’ll go to jail. Once you’re in prison, the rest of your life will be ruined,” Freya dissuaded her anxiously. “Sarah is hateful. I desperately want her to die as well. However, the law will punish her. She’s not worth you using the rest of your life to get revenge on her.”“I want her to be punished by the law too, but there’s no evidence. If possible, I don’t want to go this far either.” Eliza’s eyes were filled with determination. No one understood her pain. “We can slowly collect evidence,” Freya shouted at Eliza. “You’re my best friend. I can’t just stand by and watch as you ruin your life for such a scumbag. C’mon, let’s leave quickly.”“Leave?” Eliza laughed. Where could she go?She had nowhere to go. As long as Rodney kept investigating, he would easily find her.Rather than have that happen, it would be better if she killed Sar
Before Freya finished speaking, sounds of gunshots came from upstairs.Freya was startled, and her hand jolted. The phone fell to the ground.Before she could pick it up, a group of people marched in. The person leading them was Rodney. He was wearing navy blue pajamas. She remembered that she had bought that set of pajamas for him when she was shopping some time ago. Rodney was wearing the pajamas that Freya had bought to save another woman. The lamps on the walls faintly illuminated the gloomy scene.Rodney instantly saw Freya, who was standing there. Her clear, big eyes were staring straight at him. At that moment, it was as if Rodney’s head had exploded. When his gaze traveled to Sarah, who was in a terrible state beside Freya’s feet, his eyes widened in anger and viciousness.“Sarah…” Rodney rushed forward and carried Sarah gently. He was afraid of hurting her as her body was covered in wounds.Freya thought Sarah was dirty and smelly. She had the urge to wash her han
Rodney turned around and gave his orders. “Call the police. Capture this woman and send her to the police station.”After giving out instructions, he carried Sarah and hurriedly headed out.He turned back after walking a few steps. He looked at Freya coldly. “You brought everything upon yourself. You have to bear the responsibilities since you broke the law. You’d better pray that Sarah doesn’t die. If not, I’ll make you compensate with your life.”He left afterward.Freya got up groggily. Before she could properly stand on her feet, both of her arms were restrained. She was taken outside. With each step, her abdomen hurt from getting kicked by Rodney. Even her ribs were hurting. The pain made her face pale, and she was swaying as she walked. Those people did not care about Freya’s condition. Seeing that she could not walk properly, they simply dragged her toward the car.When she was about to get dragged into the car, a black off-road SUV sped over. Then, Ryan’s sturdy figure
After informing Shaun, Ryan’s hand moved toward Freya’s stomach. If it were before, Freya would definitely push him away. However, she was in too much pain to bother. Therefore, she let his fingers press down on her stomach. “What happened?” Ryan’s brows were knitted together in such a tight frown. “Did someone kick you?”“...”Freya did not say a word. She just lowered her head. Her eyelashes cast shadows below her eyelids. Not long after, there were tears on her eyelashes.“Who did it?” Ryan asked coldly. “Rodney?”Freya bit her lip. It seemed like all of her pain and grievances were brought upon by Rodney. She felt like crying, but she did not let herself break down. However, when she spoke, her throat was hoarse. “Sarah was badly hurt. He kicked me twice. Do you think I’m an evil person?”“You wouldn’t have done this kind of thing,” Ryan said without hesitation. “During this period, we’ve been staying in the official residence and saw each other every morning and night. Wh
Then, Ryan accompanied Freya to undergo body check-ups. When the results of her chest X-ray were out, the doctor confirmed that she had a broken rib. Freya did not expect Rodney’s kick to be so ruthless.He kicked her until she broke a rib on the spot. No wonder she was in so much pain. She even had difficulty breathing. “Doctor, with my condition… How long do I need to recover?” Freya could not conceal the worry in her eyes. “I still have to raise a kid…” She had to breastfeed too. “About one month. With your condition, you can’t even carry your child, not to mention take care of the child. You have to be careful too. Don’t ever catch a cold. Once you catch a cold, you’ll get a chest infection easily.” After the doctor reminded her, he glanced at Ryan. “You’re her husband, right? Take care of the child more often. You can only wean the baby as well.”“...”Ryan’s face heated up. A hint of awkwardness flashed across his face. Freya quickly explained, “He’s not my husband.
Freya felt pretty hungry upon hearing Ryan mentioning breakfast. However, she was in too much pain and did not have much of an appetite. “The doctor told me to eat soft foods…”“Okay. I understand.” Ryan nodded and went out with Shaun. As he left, he closed the door as well. Catherine looked at Freya with a straight face. “Freya, do you know the person who kidnapped Sarah?”“As expected, you know me best.” Freya laughed bitterly. She said with complicated feelings, “The person who kidnapped Sarah was Eliza.”“...” Catherine’s pretty face carried a shocked expression. “It’s shocking, right? I had the same reaction as you when I found out.” Eliza’s cold gaze from before flashed across Freya’s mind. She could not help but shiver. “It was Chester who found out about it first. He contacted me. When we rushed over, Eliza was about to kill Sarah. However, I stopped her. I was afraid things would be difficult to deal with if she really killed Sarah. Besides, when I checked on Sarah, Eli
