They dared not approach any further, and Landon turned the vehicle around.
Brisa took out her phone and reported the situation to Inken.
Inken’s voice came through the phone, sounding very serious. “We’ve recently uncovered all of Jamie’s background, including all the information gathered by the LEV! He seems to have held the position of strategist within the organization, making him the second-in-command. of this terrorist group.
“However, he killed the organization’s leader, Falcon, a while ago. As a result, he made an enemy of Black Hawk, who is Falcon’s younger brother and based in Iternia. Black Hawk certainly couldn’t stand by and watch his brother being killed and his legacy taken away by Jamie.”
Brisa furrowed her brows. “So, you’re saying we’re too late, and Jamie was killed by Black Hawk?”
Inken’s voice grew more intense. “Don’t let your guard down. Stay on high alert! Don’t stay in Kundin anymore, either. We’ve now exposed LEV, and everyone is in the open. Come back to Caltun. It’ll be easier to deal with them in our territory!”
Brisa expressed regret, “I wish I could have taken him down personally. It’s really frustrating.”
Inken’s voice turned solemn. “Have you ever considered that he might not be dead? Why do you think I told you to come back? Faking death is something Jamie has done multiple times before. Remember how LEV disappeared completely after being hunted down by Interpol? It was all part of his plan.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Landon, who was driving, nodded in agreement. “He might pull the same trick again. This guy is truly terrifying.”
Brisa sighed deeply. “Let’s head back then. Inken, Freya’s back in Caltun now, right?”
Inken’s voice grew heavy. “She’s not back.”
“What?!” Brisa sat up straight. Landon also turned his attention to the phone call.
“But I thought Freya had already escaped and met up with Radley and that Hood guy?!” Brisa
said.
Inken explained, “According to Radley, Matthew has deceived Freya and taken her to Mutrya. We’ll discuss the details when you come back. I can’t explain everything over the phone right now. Just know that Freya is not in immediate danger.

A few days later, at the Kaufmann Residence in Caltun, Braxton had a stern expression as he looked at Matthew during a video call.
“Matthew, if you don’t bring Frey back, our years of friendship will be in vain!” Braxton said, his voice filled with frustration.
Isabella, who was standing nearby, was furious. “Matthew, Frey’s family is here in Caltun, and she has us, her loved ones, to support her. Even if she’s going through some kind of rehab, ast you mentioned, she should have us by her side. What’s the meaning of taking her abroad alone?”
Isabella’s fiery temper made her wish she could slap Matthew right through the screen.
However, the person on the other end of the video call remained composed. “Braxton, Frey has already started her rehab at an authoritative institution. These days are the most challenging for her, so she
hasn’t been in the right state of mind to communicate with you all. Give her a few more days, and you’ll see if she’s doing this willingly.”
Braxton’s face turned cold. “I know my sister best, and she’s doing this willingly. She just doesn’t want us to worry. But, Matthew, aren’t you taking advantage of her in this situation?”
Matthew, in the video call, fell silent for a few seconds.
“Braxton, the world is inherently unfair. I just appeared a bit later than Radley. I need a chance to see if I can win her heart.”
Braxton’s anger made his face turn almost purple. “What if you can’t?”
“It’s okay if I can’t. As long as she lets me stay by her side,” Matthew replied with a smile.
Braxton shouted in frustration, “Matthew Hood! Do you realize how dangerous your situation is? Inken said that Jamie is likely faking his death and hiding. He might come after Frey. I’m telling you seriously, you need to bring my sister back immediately!”
Matthew’s expression turned serious as well. “Braxton, trust me. I’ve made preparations for this. Even if I die, I won’t let any harm come to her.”
Isabella was about to say something when Sylvia approached from the dining room.
Matthew was somewhat surprised to see Sylvia but remained respectful. “Mrs. Kauffman,” he greeted.
Sylvia gave a stern look to Braxton and Isabella before turning her attention to Matthew on the video call. “Matthew, I understand your intentions, but you must ensure Frey’s safety I won’t meddle in the affairs between you young people, but if anything happens to Frey. I will make sure the Hood family pays the price”

Matthew nodded as if he had anticipated this. “Mrs. Kauffman, I will take good care of her. Three months, once her rehab is complete, I will send her back.”
Sylvia nodded. “Three months, but I wonder if Hood Group continues to exist three months later,” she said coldly, casting a disapproving look at Matthew.
Matthew was aware of the situation concerning the Hood Group. Currently, Monaghant Group was taking aggressive actions against Hood Group, even targeting their branch in Vroria. With him not present as the CEO, Hood Group was in a precarious position. However, he didn’t want to concern himself with those matters now. He believed it was time. to go after his happiness.
After ending the video call, Sylvia sat on the couch and sighed in relief.
Braxton, who was by her side, looked at Sylvia with concern. Ever since Freya went missing, he had convinced his mother to go on a trip to Vroria. When she suddenly returned two days. ago, both he and Isabella were caught off guard. Upon her return, Sylvia immediately demanded to see Freya and eventually learned the truth.
Thankfully, Freya was no longer in a life-threatening situation, as she was undergoing rehab in Mutrya. Though she couldn’t return home for the time being, it was much better than not. knowing her whereabouts.
Isabella observed Sylvia and said, “Mom, please don’t worry. Matthew will definitely protect Freya.”
Sylvia had scolded Braxton harshly the day before, but she hadn’t said a word to Isabella. She was hurt that her daughter-in-law and son had kept such a big secret from her.
Upon hearing Isabella’s words, Sylvia let out a long sigh. “This boy, Matthew, is not as reliable. as Radley. I don’t want Freya to be with him, but for now, we have no other choice.”
Braxton and Isabella exchanged glances. “Mom, I thought you used to despise Radley. Have you changed your opinion now?”
Sylvia replied, “When judging people, you have to consider how they handle situations. Matthew is too arrogant, thinking he can protect Freya. It’s not a good thing for her. Brax, we still need to find out Freya’s whereabouts. We can’t let her stay in Mutrya.”
Braxton immediately nodded, “Radley’s team has also arrived in Mutrya, but Matthew was well- prepared. It won’t be easy to locate him.”
Meanwhile, on the top floor of a tall medical building in Bexley, Mutrya, Freya sat on a lounge chair, basking in the sun
The lounge chair was placed on the grass, and the entire top floor was a large garden. If you didn’t go to the edge, you couldn’t even tell that this was the rooftop of a skyscraper.
