Andrew said, โIโve got business to handle in Goldridge tomorrow. You should get home, too. Donโt catch a cold out here.โ
"Canโt we at least talk this through a bit more? Comeโฆ"
Just as he got into the car, Freya stomped her foot in frustration. โAndrew, back! Just once, and Iโll give you a taste. That should work, right?โ
Andrew nearly slipped while getting into the car and almost face-planted. He could not take it anymore, so he told the driver to hit the gas hard.
Freya felt completely defeated as she stared into the night in a daze. โAm I really that unattractive? Even when Iโm throwing myself at him, he wonโt take it. I have no idea what that jerk is thinking.โ
Deep down, she felt an inexplicable sense of disappointment.
Emily appeared at the doorway and called out, โFreya, what are you doing standing out there by yourself? Get inside! Itโs freezing out here!โ
Freya huffed and walked through the Keller residence gates, still feeling uncomfortable.
Emily asked, โAndrew left, right?โ
Freya hummed in response and said, โYeah, heโs gone.โ
Emily said coldly, โDonโt worry. I already know where that bastard Hank went. Thereโs been an incident in Verhampton Valley in the south of Gabo Creek province that needs his investigation, so heโll be stuck there for a while. Thatโs all we need. Iโll take some men and go drag him back here!โ
Freya looked worried. โEmily, you know what your martial arts level is like, right? If you go rushing in there, it could be dangerous.โ
Emily scoffed, her tone full of confidence. โRelax. Iโll take a few of our elite fighters with me. Besides, Theo is coming too. With his help, that scumbag has nowhere to run.โ
Freya blinked. โWaitโฆ Theo from the Fischer family? One of the Three Titans? Have things between you two really progressed that far?โ
Emilyโs cheeks flushed slightly, but she looked smug. โNot exactly, but Theo has been chasing after me for a while. I keep him on a leash, and he follows obediently. With someone from the Fischer family backing us up, we donโt need Andrew at all.โ
Freya nodded slowly. โIf Theoโs willing to help, then this should be much easier to pull off with the Fischer familyโs name behind you.โ
Emily looked smug. โExactly! Dad and Logan always think Iโm just a spendthrift who canโt accomplish anything. Well, when real trouble hits, I wonโt be dead weight! Just wait and see! Iโm the one whoโs going to solve Hannahโs problem. Counting on Andrew is completely pointless. Thereโs no way he can catch someone from Special Ops like Hank. If they actually meet, heโll probably just wet himself with fear.โ
Freya frowned. โEmily, whatever you think of him, Andrewโs character isnโt in question. You donโt have to trash him.โ
Emily folded her arms, clearly annoyed. โIโm not trashing him. I just hate his attitude. The way he talked down to us earlier? Calling us stupid? Acting like we donโt matter? Because of him, Dad even slapped me! When have we three sisters ever been hit? Never!โ
She hissed, โSo yeah, Iโm pissed. I donโt like how Andrew acts like the Keller family needs him to survive. Iโm going to prove we can get justice for Hannah without him. Iโll make Hank pay and show Dad exactly what Iโm capable of!โ
Her voice grew louder, more arrogant, as her expression turned cold and superior.
Freya let out a silent sigh.
The Keller familyโs three daughters could not be more different.
Chapter 1815
Hannah was known for being shallow and obsessed with status, with no real backbone. However, since she was the youngest, George always spoiled her, and Logan looked after her constantly, so she ended up pampered and delicate.
That was exactly how Hank found an opening to take advantage of her.
On the other hand, Freya was gentle on the outside but strong-willed within. Among the three sisters, she was the most clear-headed and rational. That was why she focused entirely on her career. She knew that for women, true power came from strength, not charm.
Meanwhile, Emily was just as ambitious, but her reach always exceeded her grasp. She had lost over a billion dollars in failed ventures. Moreover, in front of George, she always acted stubborn. She believed that as the eldest sister, she needed to maintain her authority.
However, things blew up in her face every time, and she would come back defeated.
Now that she wanted to personally hunt down Hank, Freya was worried something might happen to Emily.
