Secret Scion

Mikaela nodded and then said, "Freya doesn't show you much respect, does she? You're being so kind to invite them along, but they still rejected you. They're so short-sighted. That suits her personality I suppose. What you don't know is that Freya's a very proud woman since she's the Sullivans' next matriarch. That's why she wouldn't take anyone seriously. I think she's around 25 or 26 this year? She's never had a boyfriend, and she even said that there are few men in Rollinsford that suit her. So arrogant, don't you think?"

"Never had a boyfriend?" Garrett said as he raised an eyebrow.

"I know, right? I suspect that she's still a virgin right now," Mikaela said as she blushed slightly. Garrett put down the bowl and then wiped his mouth with a napkin. Virgins were quite rare in recent times, especially some women from some of the larger households. While they looked cold and conservative, they were extremely liberal.

Very quickly, a plot began to form in Garrett's mind. He formed a wicked smile and said, "We'll know if she's a virgin once we try her, right?"

Mikaela heard from Radley that Garrett was someone quite promiscuous. A few nights ago, Garrett had spent an entire night in a private clubhouse. Mikaela intentionally made Garrett interested in Freya so that he would want to drag her into his bed.

She did not know why, but Mikaela had always hated Freya. Even when they encountered each other, the two of them would rarely converse.

Since there was finally a chance to get vengeance, Mikaela would not let this chance pass her by. Perhaps others would not be bold enough to touch Freya, but Garrett would.

When Mikaela saw the possessiveness in Garrett's eyes, she knew that she had succeeded.

Freya did not realize that she had already become Garrett's prey.

A few days later, the Sullivan youngsters began to get assaulted continuously. They were all quite

brutal. While it did not cost them their lives, they had to be hospitalized.

In the short few days, at least four of Freya's siblings had already been hospitalized. While the household had launched their investigations, they could not catch the culprits.

Freya knew who was behind all of this. However, she had no evidence, so even she could do nothing.

One afternoon, after Freya had left the hospital, two honks came from across the road. She turned to look at it and saw Mikaela waiting inside a car with a pair of sunglasses on. Mikaela was looking at Freya with a smile.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Freya then walked over and asked, "Ms. Leonard, are you here for me?"

Mikaela then nodded with a smile and said, "Garrett wants to see you. That's why I'm here to pick you up."

"I'm sorry, but I have no time," Freya said. With that, she was ready to leave.

"It seems like there aren't enough of you Sullivans getting hurt. Otherwise, you wouldn't have refused, right?"

When she heard that, Freya became furious as she said in an angry voice, "Garrett's someone with a reputation to uphold in the Capital City. I never thought that he would use such a low tactic. He's despicable!"

However, Mikaela was unfazed as she said with a grin, "Ms. Sullivan, have you never heard of focusing on the big picture? While you think that he's despicable, I feel that that's him being clever. He's making the Sullivans worry, worried that more of them might end up in the hospital again after getting beaten up. Anyway, I'm just here to send you a message. It's up to you whether to follow me or not."

Mikaela was clear. If Freya refused to see him, then more of the Sullivans would get hurt.

After giving it a thought, Freya had no choice but to agree.

"Where is he?" Freya asked as soon as she got into the car. She was suspicious that Garrett was looking for her again.

"Weiss Restaurant," Mikaela said.

Freya had heard about the restaurant, and she knew that the daughter of the restaurant's owner Candace seemed to be quite close with Noelle.

When Mikaela was not paying attention, Freya quickly sent a short message to her police friend saying that she was in an emergency and would need support.

After about a few dozen minutes, Mikaela parked her car in the restaurant's carpark. They then walked directly into a private room. When they were outside, Mikaela knocked on the door and said, "Garrett, Ms. Sullivan is here."

"Come in."

When they entered the private room, Freya looked at what was happening inside. Only Garrett was inside alone. No dishes had been served, but Garrett was already drinking.

"Have a seat, Ms. Sullivan." Garrett scanned Freya's physical appearance. While she was only somewhat beautiful, she had a very good body. It was shaped like a pear, and she was very well- endowed. Most importantly, Mikaela said that she was still a virgin.

Freya was wearing very simple clothes. She was wearing a patterned shirt and a short, denim

skirt. Her two long, beautiful legs were especially fair and smooth.

"Why are you looking for me?" Freya did not notice the thrill of the hunt in his eyes.

"No need to be in such a rush. Let's eat. Mikaela, tell them to serve the dishes," Garrett said with a smile.

Mikaela was very clear about what Garrett wanted. However, she said nothing. When she heard what Garrett said, she nodded and left.

After a short while, dozens of dishes were served on the table. Garrett raised his fork and began eating first.

Time slowly passed by as the sun began to set. The lamps in the restaurant's garden had also begun to light up, creating an atmosphere that was away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Mikaela's phone began to vibrate. She gave it a look and realized that it was a message from Radley.

Mikaela replied with an emoticon meaning 'ok.'

After reading that message, Mikaela then put away her phone, raised a glass toward Freya and said, "Ms. Sullivan, I hear that you'll be the Sullivans' matriarch soon. I would like to congratulate you in advance."

"I've already had enough. If I have anymore, I'll get drunk. Master Schmidt, let's just get down to business, shall we?" Freya did not accept the toast. She simply glanced at Mikaela, and then turned to Garrett.

Mikaela had already raised her glass and did not expect Freya to show her such disrespect. She instantly became furious. Well, let's see how arrogant you'll be later!

She then put the wine glass back onto the table.

Garrett then said with a smile, "Nothing special. I just want to ask you if the Sullivans will still remain neutral?"

"My grandma has always been the one making such household-wide decisions. Master Schmidt, you should really go speak with my grandma, and not someone like me who can't make the decision," Freya said to him directly.

When Garrett heard the answer, the smile on his face became even brighter. However, Freya was becoming much more nervous.

"Unfortunately, I have no interest in old women. Even if I have to discuss business, I would rather discuss it with young, beautiful women."

Despite Freya's good self-control, even she was triggered by what Garrett was saying. She then said in a cold tone, "Master Schmidt, even if you wouldn't show any respect to my grandma, there's no need to humiliate her."

"Isn't she an old woman?"

"You..." Freya gritted her teeth angrily and stared at Garrett coldly. After a moment, she then said, "It seems like we really have nothing to talk about. Goodbye!"

Freya grabbed her purse and wanted to leave. However, when she reached the door, she stopped and then said, "While the Sullivans are not nobility, we also deserve to be respected. I believe all the incidents that have happened to us for the past few days are your doing. I hope that this will stop immediately, otherwise the Sullivans will retaliate at will!"

Meanwhile, Garrett simply looked at her with a playful smile. He did not even bother to stop Freya. However, when she opened the door, she noticed that there were several men with cold expressions waiting just outside.

"Ms. Sullivan, Master Garrett has yet to give you permission. You should stay here." The men were the elites that were preparing to assassinate Asher.

Freya's heart sank. The dinner was nothing simple after all. Luckily, she did not trust him fully. "What's the meaning of this?"

Garrett directly said, "Nothing much. I like you, Ms. Sullivan. So I want you to stay here with me for a night."

Even a fool would realize what Garrett wanted after saying that.

Meanwhile, Freya was shocked that the scion from the Schmidts would be so despicable.

In that instant, Freya's face flared up, but her eyes were filled with hatred. She said coldly, "I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in you. Get out of my way!"

However, as much as Freya wanted to push those men and leave, they were completely unmovable no matter how much strength she used to try to push them away.

At this time, Mikaela smiled coldly and said, "Freya, Garrett heard that you've never had a boyfriend, so he wanted to have a taste of you. It's your good fortune to be able to serve him, so know your place and give in."
