Chapter 367 She Lacks the Courage To Lic
“Freya, you wretch I didn’t even harm you, yet I ended up getting arrested. What makes you think you
me to life in
Freya raised an eyebrow and replied, “Your life imprisonment doesn’t affect me in the slightest, so why wouldn’t I do it? Your miserable existence in prison, filled with suffering, humiliation, and even freezing, and starvation, has nothing to do with me. There will be no sense of satisfaction when I think about it because I will soon forget about this matter
Freya stood tall as she spoke, looking down on her with faintly oppressive aura and disdainful eyes.
Riley’s body trembled slightly. If things really come down to that, what meaning will my revenge today have?
She hesitated for a moment. When she was first kicked out of the Freeman family, her only desire was to destroy Freya
But at that time, someone contacted her, showing her the way and providing her with weapons and a false identity, allowing her to successfully infiltrate Caltun.
However, after all the necessary preparations were done, her hatred for Freya diminished.
Nevertheless, it was too late to turn back, and when she hesitated in front of the Kaufmann family’s gate today, she was immediately captured.
Riley bit her lip tightly. She didn’t want to bow down to Freya.
Impatiently, Freya pointed at the large clock beside her. “I’ll give you three minutes to think. If you can’t make up your mind by then, I’ll call the police and have them take you away.”
Seconds ticked away.
Freya maintained an indifferent attitude.
The maid served them fruit, and Freya motioned for Inken to sit down.
The two of them discussed several collaborative projects between their families, but Riley felt as if time was passing slowly, making it difficult to endure.
One minute quickly passed, followed by another minute, leaving only one minute remaining.
Freya glanced at the clock from time to time. “Time’s up. Mr. Walter, take her directly to the police.
station.”
If she was taken to the police station, she would never be able to come out again!
Riley trembled all over and stared at Freya fiercely.
“Someone gave me this weapon. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for making so many enemies. That’s why someone led me here to kill you.”
Finally, they were getting to the point. Freya’s eyes narrowed slightly, showing no particular interest, as she lazily said, “So, who sent you to kill me?”
Since she started confessing, Riley decided to finish the rest of it. “I don’t know who they are. After I was kicked out by my family, I found a bag on the street. Inside the bag was a cell phone. When I answered the
call, the person on the other end called my name direcdy
There was a hint of fear in Riley’s eyes as she mentioned this. “That person seemed to have known that I would pick up that bag”
“And then?”
“The bag contained a complete set of identification cards, a cell phone, this knife, and some cash. That person said he also hates you, so he created fake identities for me to come and kill you. He said if I could kill you, he could revive all the Freeman Group’s business collaborations. By then, my father would be pleased, and I could go back home.”
Freya frowned. “And you believed him?”
“Why shouldn’t I? It’s better to believe him than to believe you. You’ve always been targeting our family. The Freeman family’s real estate projects have incurred losses totaling hundreds of millions! The previously half-built residential area in Vroria has now become a bunch of abandoned buildings due to interference from the Marshall family.”
Riley knew deep down that this was the main reason her father kicked her out. The reputation and embarrassment were secondary; the losses suffered by the Freeman family were substantial.
Freya nodded. “So, where is the phone that person contacted you with?”
Riley pursed her lips. “I hid it under the tree by the flower bed in front of the entrance before I came in. was planning to retrieve it later. Freya, I’ve told you everything. You can’t go back on your word.”
Freya glanced at her. “If what you said is true, I won’t go back on my word.”
After saying that, she instructed Walter beside her, “Mr. Walter, can you bring a few men and search for the phone? If it’s there, bring it back. Please be careful on the way, as I don’t know if it’s a trap set by them.”
Walter showed no fear and nodded. “Don’t worry, Miss Kaufmann. I’ll head over immediately. Whether it’s a trap or not, I’ll handle it.” He hurriedly left.
Freya continued asking Riley about the identity of the person who led her here, but Riley had no clue.
Helpless, Freya turned to look at Inken, and he too seemed disappointed.
The two of them had hoped to gather some information from Riley, but they didn’t expect her to truly know nothing. For her to come straight to Caltun without knowing anything, she was really bold.
Before long, Walter returned.
His hands were empty, and his face was filled with anger. “Miss Kaufmann, she must have deceived us. There is nothing at the flower bed.”
“How is that possible? I clearly placed it under the tree by the flower bed. You must have missed it!” Riley exclaimed.
She felt a sense of panic. If they couldn’t find that cell phone, Freya would definitely send her to prison.
Freya glanced at Inken with a thoughtful look in her eyes. They both knew that Riley didn’t have the courage to lie,
So, during this short interrogation period, someone must have taken the cell phone.
Freya stood up, motioning for Inken to follow her. “Come with me.”
The two of them went upstairs while Riley remained in place, shouting after them. “What are you going to
do
Freya stood on the spiral staircase and glanced at her. Mr. Walter, pack her up and send her back to the Freeman family. Tell them that if something similar happens next time, I won’t be as kind.”
Walter immediately agreed.
This time, Riley didn’t struggle. She allowed the two maids to drag her away.
She couldn’t return to the Freeman family in the first place, but with Freya sending her back like this, her father would have no choice but to accept her!
Riley gritted her teeth. Life had been too difficult for her during this period. This time, even if she had to face punishment from her family, she would never leave again!
Freya and Inken went directly to the study after reaching the second floor.
Freya powered on the computer and immediately accessed the Kaufmann family’s security system. The system’s surveillance cameras were scattered throughout the two blocks surrounding the Kaufmann Residence, resembling stars in the night sky.
Soon, she located the flower bed that Riley had mentioned.
From the video footage captured two hours ago, Riley was seen on a street near the Kaufmann Residence. She appeared hesitant and eventually approached the front gate, giving the impression that she was contemplating a theft.
Shortly after, Riley received a phone call and proceeded to walk to the side, discreetly placing the cell phone in the lush flower bed where it remained hidden from view.
Freya squinted her eyes. After Riley had hidden the cell phone, she headed toward the Kaufmann Residence’s gate, seemingly waiting for an opportunity to slip inside.
In no time, a group of individuals rushed out from the gate. Thanks to Walter’s skillful moves, Riley was effortlessly apprehended.
Freya furrowed her brow as she observed the scene. This infiltration couldn’t be a better example of mission failure and could serve as a valuable lesson at the Green Flamation forum.
However, she didn’t focus much on Riley. Instead, she quickly rewound the video.
Soon, a figure emerged from the street and maneuvered through the crowd toward the flower bed. Without hesitation, they picked up the phone and walked away!
