Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 696
Three years.
The years had left traces on her face, but they only made her become more youthful and beautiful.
Patrick seemed to have forgotten how to breathe.
To the side, Linda said with surprise, “Freya, it’s really you. You’re back! We were quite worried about you when the incident before happened. Are you okay?”
Patrick froze.
Yes, now he remembered. Three years ago, there was news that she had seduced Thomas Neeson and angered him. Thomas then forcibly broke into her house and defiled her. Photos of her covered in bruises had also been posted on the internet.
Soon afterward, there was news that she went abroad in her miserable state.
His eyes were suddenly filled with disgust and disappointment.
Freya naturally did not miss the change of expression in his eyes and laughed. “Linda, you’re rubbing salt into my wounds as soon as I return home. You’re still as amazing as ever.”
Linda’s face changed slightly as she pretended to cover her mouth, looking as though she was full of guilt. “I’m sorry—”
“Don’t apologize,” Patrick said coldly, “Since you dared to do those things, why are you afraid of it being mentioned by others?”
Freya raised her eyebrows and tilted her head. This was the man she had once been deeply in love with. However, just because of the false news, he would rather believe in Tomas’ lie than her.
Catherine could not hold back. “Patrick Jackson, Freya was with you for so long yet you still don’t know her well enough?”
“I know her too well. When she was downstairs at your company, she kissed another man in front of me. It’s clear that her lifestyle has become unruly after she came to the capital,” Patrick said with disdain.
“Patrick, don’t say that.” Linda sighed. “Freya might have been trying to provoke you back then. Thomas Neeson is the president of the Neeson Corporation, after all. She might have been trying to find someone with higher status to show you, but it ended up… backfiring. However, Freya, I want to remind you. Next time you look for a man, you still have to take into account his character.”
