Freya was taken aback by the bait Michael dangled before her.
She knew little about the long-standing grudges between the Morgan and Gomez families.
In her younger days, just when she was naively yearning for love, the man who lured her into his trap had already grown to despise her.
He used their love as a weapon against her father, leading to the current situation.
Freya, though resentful of Nathaniel, also harbored some hatred toward her father.
Despite the high status their family had in Saeville, why did her father have to attack the Morgan family, especially targeting their widows and orphans?
This painful realization had tormented Freya, almost tearing her soul apart, leaving her in a state of perpetual conflict.
Now, Michael's revelation overturned all her previous understanding, causing a crack in her composed facade.
A subordinate of Michael received a call and whispered a few words in his ear, causing visible impatience in Michael's expression as he took the phone.
On the other end, Luna's displeased voice demanded, “What’s taking so long with Freya?”
“Nathaniel has already headed to Maruva. I suspect Freya is up to something. Finish this quickly! Don’t delay any longer!”
Michael's eyes narrowed with annoyance.
Although Luna was his partner, she was still a young upstart and had no right to order him around.
“I know! Don’t call me again. I’m busy!” Michael snapped.
“Are you crazy, Michael?” Luna shouted. “Kill her now, or there’ll be trouble! Keeping her alive serves no purpose. You kidnapped Freya, Nathaniel’s wife. If you want to die...”
Click!
Michael slammed the phone onto the deck, his frustration boiling over.
He walked over to Freya, crouching down to coldly stare at her. “My patience has limits, Freya. What did Abigail tell you?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. She hated me. Why would she leave me any last words?” Freya stared back at him, her expression unwavering.
Michael's face twisted with a sinister smile as he signaled his subordinate to bring over a tablet. He played a video for Freya, showing Abigail kidnapping her at Mount Kosciuszko.
