Freya was completely confused. She had always thought that she had married well. She had looked down on Thea for marrying a nobody, but she had not expected Harley to be a police officer.
How could she admit defeat?
"Isn't he just a policeman? What's so great about him? What are you afraid of, honey?"
Hearing that, Heinz slapped her again.
"Are you crazy? I've already told you that he is a sergeant. How can an ordinary policeman be compared to him? Are you going to apologize or not? If you don't, I'll divorce you!"
Freya clenched her teeth unwillingly and finally compromised.
She had no qualms about her father abandoning her, but she could not afford to be abandoned by her husband. She had put in a lot of effort in order to marry him.
She would not let him go so easily!
"I'm sorry!"
Harley did not care about her apology at all. He wrapped his clothes around Thea, who stood behind him. and said, "Let's go!"
Heinz hurriedly caught up to Harley again. He nodded and bowed at Harley's back.
"Officer Louis, mind your step! Please come again next time to our company for a drink!"
Freya looked at his husband's brown nose. She couldn't help but ask, "Honey, what are you afraid of?"
"Do you have any idea what you're saying? The last time something happened to my company, I got criticized by him! Just now, when I brought so many people to teach him a lesson, he took photos of me. If he deliberately wanted to make me suffer, he could bring up what happened last time. If that happens, our company will be affected again. By that time, my father will definitely beat me to death!"
Freya gritted her teeth and said, "Then, should we just be threatened by him like this?"
"What else do you think we should do? Should I invite you to defend me the next time he criticizes me?"
Freya closed her mouth, but soon her eyes lit up again.
"Did you see that? They seemed to have entered the villa in front of us!"
Heinz said impatiently and asked, "What does that have to do with me?"
"You silly man!" Freya snorted. "He's a policeman, and he's close to a businessman! Since he could blackmail you, why don't we take the initiative to attack him first?"
Heinz was stunned and said, "You mean..."
"Why not?" Freya's face was full of resentment. "I've never been slapped before in my life! However, today, I got pinched and slapped!"
She had been slapped three times, one after the other, and her arms had gotten bruised. How could she let this matter go?
Heinz nodded and said, "Honey, you're so smart! Okay, let's do it!"
Harley and Thea were not aware that they had been targeted. Since they no longer had to suffer in the Stewart family anymore, they went to the Granger Mansion to look for Amos for a round of cards.
Coincidentally, as they passed by the entrance of the mansion, they saw the children playing in the garden. Thus, they went in.
Harley and Thea did not leave the yard and spent the whole afternoon there.
The sky grew dark. They drove back home as soon as they left the mansion. They had no idea that they had been photographed!
At night, when Eudora and Amos were about to go to bed, Eudora stared at Amos.
Her actions made Amos's heart skip a beat. He wondered if there was something dirty on his face.
He asked, "What's wrong?"
Eudora shook her head and answered, "I just remembered what Thea told me in the afternoon. Didn't you hear how Harley dealt with the Stewart family?"
Amos shook his head and said, "No, I did not."
Indeed, he had not heard about it. Why would men like them talk about such trivial matters?
"What did he do?" Amos asked.
Then, Eudora excitedly told Amos about how Harley had saved Thea, looking extremely excited.
"I'm so envious! I feel that our life seems to be getting duller and duller! I don't even feel my heart skipping a beat anymore!"
Amos was rendered speechless.
Was he getting abandoned? His wife had just said that she no longer felt her heart skip a beat for him anymore?!
Amos frowned as he walked over and grabbed Eudora, pinning her against the wall.
"Huh?"
Eudora looked at him in bewilderment and asked, "What are you doing?"
