Chapter 291 The Murderer Is Dead
The Compendium of Medical Wisdom is a medical book from ancient times that was regarded as a national treasure that recorded all of the traditional art of healing. In fact, Freya was planning to donate the book to the museum after reading it but quickly changed her mind because an ordinary museum would never be able to guard such a valuable item. Moreover, without The Compendium of Medical Wisdom, she wouldn’t have been able to lure out the people who had been stirring up trouble behind her back. After all, she was at the end of her rope upon all the things that happened.
After some consideration, Freya redirected her attention to her computer and logged onto a well-known website that was related to traditional medicine. There, she created a post titled “The Compendium of Ancient Medical Wisdom. Then, she proceeded to leave the first comment there by writing an introduction about the book, also stating that she would keep updating new content from the book.
If those people in the shadows were stalking me, they would surely notice this post, Freya was hoping that the post she made on the forum could help her lure her stalkers out as she secretly observed them. By then, she would be able to find out what those people were after, whether it was the content of The Compendium of Medical Wisdom or something else.
Upon typing the introduction, Freya heard her phone ringtone from the table. She quickly reached for it and took a quick look at the caller, only to realize it was from Radley. We just met at the police station earlier morning. So, why are you calling me now? After a brief hesitation, Freya eventually answered the call.

“Hello.”
Frey, where are you now?” Radley asked with a deep voice.
I’m home,” Freya replied, puzzled.
“Okay. Stay home and do not leave your house unless it’s for something really important.”
“What’s going on?” Freya furrowed her eyebrows.
A
Do you still remember the man whom you told me you had a fight with earlier? He fled to the area that
under development in North Geft, didn’t he? Guess what? I found him.”
Freya stood up abruptly. “You found him?” She was happy to hear what Radley told her because finding the aspect would contribute to the progress of investigating the anonymous organization.
“Yes, but hais dead.” Radley’s voice came from the other side of the phone.
Freya’s eyes widened in disbelief. After all, she didn’t even lay a finger on the man who was wear a gay outfit that day, which was why she couldn’t believe how he ended up dead. After a few seconds of hrlitation, Freya asked, “How did he die?”
“He wasguaged down,” Radley spoke with a deep voice. It appears that he was punished by the organization that he worked for, either because he failed to accomplish his mission or because his cover was blogwen?
that instant, both Freya and Radley went silent as they tacitly came to understand one thing-the people responsible for all the chaos were not just good at covering their tracks but also came together and formed a disciplined organization Merciless and brutal, they even had no qualms about killing their own prople should it become necessary
D’en it’ I can’t imagine being targeted by such a scary organization. It’s just terrifying to even think about it. Freya took a deep breath and replied, I understand. Thanks for the heads-up” After hanging up the phone. Freya sent a message to Ink Ink, forget about the man I told you to investigate carlier. He’s dead.

Did you kill him?’ Ink responded with a question.
Freya sneered and responded in an amused manner. How imaginative! Radley was the one who found him. It’s believed that he was annihilated by the very organization he had been working for
As soon as Freya’s message was read, a moment of silence ensued on the Green Flamation forum. Then, Landon sent a voice message and said, “Why does it sound like we’re dealing with a terrorist organization? Who did you mess with, Freya?”
In response to that, Freya only smiled bitterly.
Two days later, the police released Melissa and Hannah, clearing their names. While the ladies were finally free again. Melissa was taken by the Kaufmann Family back home. Nevertheless, Melissa kept insisting on attending Benjamin’s funeral, crying and sobbing so hard that her eyes were already swollen on her way
home.
In fact, when Melissa was dating Benjamin, Freya already had his background investigated, knowing Benjamin was the only child in his family. Apart from that, she also learned that his father was a doctor and his mother worked as a teacher. Jesus! They’re getting older, but… At the thought of that, Freya felt a stab of pain in her heart while becoming more determined to expose those culprits.
The next few days, the Marshall family returned to Vroria. Nevertheless, Noah didn’t tell Sarah and Ryan who was busy with his filming overseas, about Melissa’s case. When they arrived at the airport lounge, Sylvia even tried to persuade them to stay for a little longer, but Noah only reacted with a brittle smile. “Come on. Sylvia. The longer Ashley and I stay here, the more likely Mom and Ryan are going to sense. something wrong. Since Mel’s case has already been taken care of, I suppose they don’t have to know the details anyway.”
Upon seeing off the Marshall family, Freya stayed home without going anywhere for the next few days. However, she didn’t do that because she was afraid but because she had neglected her child until Melissa’s issue was addressed. Thankfully, she also didn’t have to worry about Hannah and Melissa because Radley
d called her earlier and promised to send someone to Evergreen University to ensure their safety.
Meanwhile, Freya was having fun playing with her child in the living room at the Kayfmann Residence. The weather has gotten cold lately. Let’s get Jolly dressed up warmly,” Sylvia said with a smile.
Fréva looked at her son’s arms that were wrapped around by his sleeves, finding them a little too thick as Jolly could barely bend his arms. “He will become a ball if he keeps wearing more clothes. You know what? He’s probably going to bounce back up if he falls down. The lady giggled in amusement.
Soon Sylvia stuck out her arm and took Jolly away from Freya’s hands. “What do you know? You’ve never taken eure of a child before either,” Sylvia remarked with disdain but immediately smiled when she laid her eye upon Jolly.
Freya clicked her tongue in response, finally understanding how her mother came to become so obsessed with her grandchildren after spending a two-week stay with her. “It looks like Braxton and I have just became the forgotten children who lost their mother’s favor.” She clicked her tongue once more.
Holding Jolly in her arms, Sylvia replied, “Your brother hasn’t lost my favor. On the other hand, I still need to count on him as I wait for my grandson or granddaughter. By then, we’re going to live happily ever after as a big family.”
Freya’s gaze flickered as she looked at the weather outside. It’s already the middle of winter now, which means spring is not far away. “Mom. Braxton and Izzy’s wedding is three months away. So, how is everything going

with the preparation?”
“We had that taken care of a long time ago. Now, all that’s left is Isabella’s jewelry Sylvia smiled and added, There is an heirloom, which is a set of jewelry, that is passed down to the daughters-in-law of each generation, but their appearances seem a little old-fashioned. Apart from the inlay of the colorful gemstones on the golden jewelry, there is nothing else really special about them. Anyway, I’ve been thinking that young people like you would fancy stylish and simple designs, which is why I hired a jewelry designer from Damford to take care of it. The design draft was just done not long ago, and now it’s time for the experts from Mutrya to do their job.
“Mom, when are you going to prepare a set of jewelry like that for me?” Freya chuckled.
“That depends on when you’re getting married. Speaking of which, you’ve been single for quite a while.” Sylvia snorted in response.
“Does that really matter? I’m already a mother.” Freya’s eyes flashed. No matter what, Bratton and Izzy’s wedding is just around the corner.
At the same time, the drug that Freya had been working on had already been tested on mice and subsequently on humans upon approval. In fact, The National Medical Products Administration sped up the development progress because of concerns related to Professor Harlan’s latest medical research. For that, Freya took a look at the calendar, believing that the result should be out before Braxton and Isabella’s wedding.
