Chapter 184 They Seem Like a Shrewd Bunch
Freya smiled and looked at Ernie, who was holding the black card. “However, I am the one who controls the card and knows the password. You can take the card back as a token of appreciation.”
A surge of anger rushed to Ernie’s chest when he understood what was going on.
Freya was humiliating him!
Freya then stood up, smiling. The three hundred billion dollars from the Marshall family still belongs to the Marshall family. The ten billion dollars you have is my service fee. After all, I went through considerable effort to earn the ten billion dollars.”
Ashley warned in a stern voice, “Frey! Stop it!”
She realized that Freya was trying to divert the hatred from the Marshall family. Freya probably thought that it would be better for Ernie to hate her than the Marshall family.
Ernie stared at Freya with bloodshot eyes. “You humiliated me and took my money! You’re just a young lady, you can’t take my money just like that. Give it back to me, or I will definitely kill you!”
Freya’s eyebrows rose. “So you do know that I’m humiliating you? But when it comes to humiliating people, it’s usually more fun to humiliate those who are tough. You’re a softie, though. How many times have you gotten on your knees? It’s an honor for you to be humiliated by me. I enjoy watching the play you put on when you get the card but not the money.”
Freya smirked, mocking. The change on both sides is indeed quite interesting.”
Driven crazy by the blatant provocation, Ernie howled and lunged at Freya.
Although four security guards managed to hold him back, he kept staring at Freya as if he wanted to remember her so that he could take revenge one day.
Freya sat back on the couch, tilting her head. “Uncle Noah, he broke into someone’s house and threatened to kill me. When the time comes, you can ask the lawyer how many years he can be sentenced.”
The police quickly arrived after that, and the mad Ernie was taken away.
With that, Noah sat in the room with a gloomy expression. Ashley, who was worried, looked at Freya with an angry and pained gaze. Why did you provoke him? Even if he wants to and can do something to the Marshall family, for you to make him hate you… Ha… And you’re pregnant!”
Freya smiled obediently like a lovable child. “Aunt Ashley, you scared me when you scolded me just now,”
Ashley was both angry and amused. Feeling touched, she turned to seek help. “Sylvia, won’t you look at what Frey did!”
Sylvia sighed. “I can’t control her either. That’s just how she is. But don’t worry; we will leave Vroria
tomorrow.
Noah had been silent all along.
When Freya finished watching the show, she held her belly and went upstairs.
He uttered in a deep voice, “It seems that we need to find a way to let Ernie come out looking defiant.”

Sarah didn’t say anything, which meant she agreed.
Ashley nodded.
“Our family has always been upright and rarely involved in bloodshed, but we are not pushovers. This can ensure Freya’s safety and let the people in Vroria see the consequences of the Porter family harming our family.
The next day.
Freya and Sylvia were sent to the airport by the Marshall family.
Sarah repeatedly urged, “Frey, tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll have someone prepare and send it to you!”
Freya laughed. “Grandma, it takes two hours from Vroria to Caltun by plane. How can you send it?”
“Just tell me what you like to eat. I will have your uncle find a chef and ingredients to send it to you.”“
Freya felt a gush of warmth in her chest. After hugging the family members one by one, she boarded the planc.
Two hours later, she got off the plane and set foot on the land of Caltun.
Freya had only been away for a week, but Sylvia had been away for nearly two months. The older woman stretched.
“I’m home.”
Freya smiled. “Mom, Grandma’s place is also home.”
“Here and there are both homes. Sylvia put on a smile as well.
Ayden had arrived at the airport early to pick them up. He had a joyful expression on his face when he took their luggage.
Sylvia asked with the corners of her lips upturned, “Ayden, have you grown taller recently?”
Hearing that, Freya looked at Ayden and chuckled, “Mom, Ayden is almost 30 years old. How can he still grow taller?”
Sylvia was a little surprised. She held Ayden’s arm and looked him up and down. “Then you must have lost weight. Is it because Braxton is mistreating you?”
Ayden was like a half-son of the Kaufmann family. He lost his parents at a young age and grew up in the Kaufmann family.
After entering university and achieving success, he bought a house in Caltun. Although he didn’t live with the Kaufmann family, he still regarded Sylvia as his mother. Not only did he feel affection for her, but he was also grateful for Sylvia.
“Madam, please get in the car.”
After the three of them got in the car, Freya asked curiously, “Ayden, why didn’t Brax come to pick us up?”
Ayden drove the car and replied, “Mr. Kaufmann has been dealing with piled-up business in the company
since he returned the day before yesterday. He has an important meeting with the Hood Group now.”
Freya pursed her lips.
Her brother had been dealing with work in the company since he returned, which meant that he didn’t go to see Isabella.
These past few days, Freya had sent several messages to Isabella. However, she didn’t receive a single reply, and her calls went straight to voicemail.
When Freya contacted Matthew, he only said that Isabella had been staying in Parker Residence.
Freya couldn’t help feeling worried that something was about to happen.
After returning to Kaufmann Residence, Freya went back to her bedroom first.
She scanned the room with her eyes and then took out a detector to sweep around the house.
She made sure that nothing was missing, and that there were no additional surveillance or bugs before she finally relaxed.
Feeling exhausted from the journey, Freya and Sylvia took a nap in the afternoon.
When they woke up at 2 p.m., Freya saw a long list of messages on her phone.
They were all sent by Brisa.
Brisa: Since you’re back, I’ll leave_right?
Brisa: Hey, where are you?
Brisa: You’re heartless. I’ve been guarding your house for so many days, and you didn’t even invite me in!
Freya lightly patted her head and sent a voice message to Brisa.
Freya: I was so tired when I came back home that I fell asleep. Come in quickly!
Brisa: Hmph! Am I someone you can summon and dismiss at will?
Freya: Oh, then don’t come in.
There was no reply from the other end, but Freya’s window soon creaked.
Brisa had an angry expression as she climbed in. T’m coming in anyway.”
Freya laughed at the sight of her. “Come in quickly, my dear assistant.”
“My dear assistant, my foot! You’re getting too into character!” Brisa clenched her small fists, but it didn’t intimidate Freya much.
Freya asked Brisa about what had happened recently.
She found it strange how the group of people acting in the dark hadn’t come over during this period.
“Maybe they don’t know that you’ve left Caltun? Or maybe they found out about you?” Brisa protested immediately, “Freya, you can suspect Inken and Landon, but you must not doubt my abilities!”
They Seem Like a Shrewd Bunch
Freya paused for three seconds. That doesn’t seem to make sense.”
Brisa raised an eyebrow. “Don’t worry about that.”
“Since they couldn’t find you, it means they have realized that I deliberately left a loophole. They seem to be a shrewd bunch. They probably only believe in the loopholes they create themselves!” Freya sighed,
