Chapter 439 Let Her Discover What Human Nature Is Really Like
Radley glanced at Freya, who appeared worried, and a slight smile formed on his thin lips. “You don’t need to concern yourself with these trivial matters. I can handle it.”
“And how do you plan to handle it? Are you going to abandon Baxter in a remote mountain without any cellphone signal?” Freya chuckled.
“Well, that’s not entirely out of the question.”
“It’s not a feasible solution. By doing that, you will only make Hannah sad. We need to let her discover what the world and human nature are really like on her own; that’s what true growth is.” Freya shook her head.
“Being with you and you being happy is all I ask for.” Radley gazed at her affectionately.
“I am happy right now.” Freya smiled.
However, another matter soon crossed her mind, causing her brows to furrow.
“While Hannah’s situation is urgent, what about Jamie? Have there been any new developments in the investigation?”
Upon returning. Freya received news of Jamie’s death in the explosion. However, knowing Jamie’s cunning nature, she couldn’t easily believe that he had died.
“The preliminary investigation suggests that Jamie’s death was a result of internal conflict within the LEV organization. Jamie killed the previous leader of the organization, codenamed Falcon. The person seeking” revenge this time is Eagle’s brother, Black Hawk.”
“As long as this organization is not completely eradicated, we cannot consider ourselves safe.” Freya pinched her brow.
Especially considering the high possibility that Jamie is still alive, the peaceful days could crumble at any moment.
With that, Freya turned to Radley and asked, “How is the research on The Compendium of Medical Wisdom progressing?”
“After using it at the auction to contact the members from the LEV organization, I had Connor send The Compendium of Medical Wisdom to Mutrya. Over there, there’s an advanced device that, when used for X-ray examination, reveals that there is an interlayer every four to five pages at the back of the book, where you can find those extremely thin gold threads.
“All the patterns on the gold threads have been deciphered, but we still don’t know their purpose.” Radley frowned.
Hearing that, Freya nodded. She was now certain that the other party must be after these patterns.
Considering that this book was from the Middle Ages, during that time, some patterns…
Freya’s mind became a bit chaotic. “Let me examine them when I get back. Send me those patterns by then.”
However, Radley didn’t want Freya to be concerned about it since she had just escaped death and returned. after going through detoxification of the Icy Sea.
He refused to let Freya take any more risks, but knowing Freya’s personality, he nodded in agreement.
After their conversation, Freya didn’t stay long at the Monaghans’ mansion.
Radley accompanied her back to the Kaufmann Residence, as they had plans to attend a gathering at Trinity Club later that evening.
Shortly after Freya returned home, the staff from the Monaghans’ mansion delivered the jewelry there.
Freya instructed the butler to store all the jewelry in the warehouse and keep a close eye on it. She didn’t actually want Hannah’s jewelry as they would eventually have to be returned.
After resting at home for a while, Freya changed into a different outfit and drove to Trinity Club as the time for the gathering approached.
Since Trinity Club was owned by Chris, the staff there were already familiar with them. When they saw. Freya, they immediately led her to the private room where they usually gathered.
Inside the room, Chris and Mikael were already present
Freya was surprised to see Poppy and Regina. Mikael’s case was understandable, but Chris, who frequently changed girlfriends, had since been in a long relationship with Regina. He seemed serious about it this time.
Freya remembered that Regina had shown hostility toward her in the past, so she smiled and sat on the sofa opposite the four of them.
“Freya, it’s been a while. Do you miss me?” Chris grinned mischievously.
Hearing that, Regina frowned as she glanced at Freya, who ignored him and turned to Mikael. “Mick, it’s been a while.”
Mikael nodded. “Chris and I heard the news when you returned from abroad. We originally wanted to visit you, but Radley kept stopping us, saying that you needed rest due to poor health. How are you recovering now?”
“I’m doing fine now. I heard from my family that both you and Chris have been helping out during the time I went missing.”
Freya smiled and then turned to Chris.
“My brother told me that you went back to Vroria just to help us out. It must have been tough.”
Upon hearing that, Chris leaned back on the sofa and put on a somewhat exaggeratedly miserable expression. “It’s good that you know. I usually try to avoid my grandfather, but for your sake, I went back and almost didn’t make it back this time.”
Regina, who was next to him, frowned slightly and spoke in a gentle tone. “Chris, your grandfather only wants what’s best for you. He would want you to take over the Holland Family’s company as soon as possible.
Since Regina spoke, Freya decided not to engage in further conversation with Chris.
Mikael and Poppy could sense Regina’s attitude toward Freya, so they engaged in casual-conversation with her about recent events, creating a cheerful atmosphere.
“I heard from Radley that you organized this gathering at the last minute. Is it because of Hannah’s boyfriend?” Chris interjected.
Freya nodded and briefly explained the background of Hannah’s boyfriend.
“I don’t think he’s a good guy, but Hannah is infatuated with him,” Freya said helplessly. “Considering that you don’t seem like a good person as well, Chris, it would be best if the two of you could keep him in check.”
Chris immediately became unhappy., “What do you mean I don’t seem like a good person?”
Mikael frowned and looked displeased. “To keep someone in check, you need someone who is also tactful. From what you’re telling me, this Baxter seems like a bold ruffian, and for him, being with
Hannah is a life-changing opportunity, and I doubt it will work.”
“Just tie him up and scare him. That should do the trick! Chris raised an eyebrow and cast a disdainful look.
“Absolutely not,” Freya quickly interjected. “If it were that simple, Radley and I would have taken care of it. Why would we burden you two? Hannah is very protective of Baxter now and is afraid that someone. might harm him. If he comes over later, you two need to at least be friendly to him on the surface. Otherwise, I’m afraid it will trigger Hannah’s rebellious mindset. The more poorly you treat Baxter, the more she will cherish this love.”
“Exactly. But Freya, you’ve underestimated a person’s greed. For families like the Monaghan family, even a small leak could be something Baxter is willing to fight for…” Mikael nodded.
“I understand. Let’s meet him first and then decide.” Freya sighed softly.
As the three of them were chatting, there was a commotion outside the door. The waiter pushed the door. open, and Freya looked up to see Radley walking in from outside.
Soon after, Baxter and Hannah followed.
Noticing that, Freya smiled. “Hannah is here. Did you come with your brother?”
“No, we just happened to run into each other in the elevator.“
The next moment, Hannah walked in while holding Baxter’s arm, and there was a sweet smile on her face. She then began introducing everyone in the private room to Baxter.
