NovelOnlineThe Green Flamation forum’s gathering took place at a venue arranged by Freya. It was held at the same restaurant as last time,
especially since it possessed a secluded courtyard that had been completely. reserved for the occasion.
She had also informed the other three in advance that she would be bringing Radley along, so as to not catch them off guard.
So, Radley drove her to the courtyard to attend the gathering.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Freya noticed Brisa arguing with Landon. The stone table in the courtyard cracked loudly
at the force of her palm striking the table in her frustration.
The clearly angered Brisa demanded with a snarl on her face, “Who spread the rumor that I’m dating. you?”
Landon had an innocent look on his face as he defended himself, crying, “Grandma! It wasn’t me who spread it. Why are you
taking it out on me?”
Although he was pleading his case, he continued to dodge her attacks, displaying surprising agility.
Freya and Radley exchanged glances at the sight. Finally, he smiled and said, “I didn’t know your had such skills.”
-Brisa looked up and saw Radley and Freya approaching. So, she tossed her whip aside with a huff.
“Frey, I missed you,” she exclaimed as she eagerly ran over. assistant
Brisa hugged Freya tightly, causing Freya to feel a surge of affection for the woman. “It’s been so long. I know you’ve been hard
at work, running around for my sake.”
“Oh, what nonsense!” Brisa smiled as she retorted, “We’re like sisters from another missus. I would do anything for my sister.”
Landon weakly added, “What about me?” Alas, he was promptly ignored without much fanfare.
The five of them sat down around the table. Brisa couldn’t help but glance at Radley and looked behind him. “Your assistant isn’t
here?”
Radley was a little surprised by her question. “He went to the branch office to handle some matters.”
“Tsk, typical capitalist,” Brisa whispered.
Freya looked at Radley as Brisa wasn’t exactly quiet. They exchanged a meaningful look, wherein Freya’s eyes held a sly glint to
them as she signaled toward Radley to look at Brisa.
Before they had reconciled, Brisa had pretended to be her assistant. As a result, Brisa had spent quite some. time around
Connor. Things had escalated rather quickly when Connor deliberately punctured her car tires when the two of them were at
odds. It seemed that, at some point, she had taken an interest in Connor.
Radley considered the task he had given Connor before sending the man a simple text during the meal.
His message was succinct. ‘Miss Trujillo wants to see you. Finish your work at Hartterre and return as soon. as possible.
Brisa’s face flushed crimson as she grumbled, “I didn’t ask to see him.”
Freya didn’t bother muffling her good-natured chuckle as she responded, “I know. It’s just that Radley doesn’t want to be labeled
as a relentless capitalist, you see. Why aren’t you satisfied with his arrangements? You don’t want Connor here, but you also
want him here. Make up your mind!”
Brisa gritted her teeth in frustration. “Freya Kaufmann, are you in cahoots with Radley now?”
Freya simply beamed and retorted, “Then, you should find a man yourself and get yourself a partner, no?”
The dishes were served one after another as they exchanged pleasant banter. As they dug into the meal, they started talking
about Jamie.
Inken’s eyes darkened as he remarked sternly, “Although his IP address is hidden, there are still traces to be found as long as he
makes another appearance. I’ve been tracking him down these past two days, and the last place where the IP disappeared was
Iternia.”
“Itemnia? That’s where the headquarters of LEV is located,” Freya’s expression turned grave. “According to our investigation,
Black Hawk was in charge of them. After Black Hawk’s death, Jamie took over many branches. Now that he’s there-
Radley’s face turned cold at the implications. “It means he has already dealt with Black Hawk and has successfully taken over
during the power grab.”
Brisa frowned as she considered their current situation. So, this time, Jamie is likely to be seriously injured. However, it’s also
possible that he gained all of LEV’s power through this internal war. If it’s the latter... This is going to be troublesome.”
Landon added in his two cents, chiming in, “But if that’s the case, knowing Jamie’s usual modus operandi, he should be doing his
best to hide while waiting for the perfect time to strike. Going to Freya’s live broadcast to provoke her doesn’t fit his usual style.”
Freya pursed her lips. The more she thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.
“Edward is dead, and I escaped his clutches. There’s a chance that Jamie blames me for Edward’s death.” Freya muttered. “If
that’s the case, Jamie might be planning to come after me with everything he’s got. The grief of losing his brother could have
driven him mad!
Everyone fell silent as they thought of the possibility. Radley looked at her and murmured gently, “I’m here for you.”
A smile appeared on her face as she nodded.
“I’m not worried about myself right now. I’m more concerned about the people around me. I have too many people I care about.
Jamie is a master manipulator. He managed to capture me by using Brisa as bait. Who knows who he will target next?”
Then, she furrowed her brow as she listed Jamie’s possible future victims. “My master, the Kaufmann family, the Monaghan
family, and even you guys.”
Brisa remembered what happened last time and clenched her jaw in resentment. “Don’t worry. I won’t let myself be one of his
Jamie was responsible for Eugene’s death, he has been frothing at the mouth to catch him. It definitely didn’t help matters when
Jamie managed to slip through his fingers. last time.”
Freya nodded. “I managed to persuade my mother to take a trip to Vroria. I feel more at ease as long as she’s under my uncle’s
care. Unfortunately, Izzy is pregnant right now. So, my mother will definitely stay to take care of her. Plus, it’s not convenient for
Izzy to move around.”
Then, she continued, “As for my master... Well, he does like to put on a front that he doesn’t know what’s going on. However,
he’s a sly one. Although I did try to trick him into going on a trip to Lagresh, I know for a fact that he saw through me.”
Eventually, she sighed wearily and muttered, “The Monaghan family has been going through some issues recently. So, it’s going
to be hard for us to keep an eye on everyone. Once we focus on one person, it gives Jamie an opportunity to take advantage of.”Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
The issue with the Monaghan family was that Hannah had run away from home. Besides, she couldn’t possibly lock Hannah up
until the coast was clear. Even though it was a very tempting solution, there was no way she could do that. All in all, this was a
mess of the highest caliber.
Freya felt as though her brain might just melt out of her ears at this point.
Inken pursed his lips and suggested, “Regarding your master, Jakob and Michael are taking care of him. Mr. Monaghan’s people
are looking after the Monaghan family. Your brother is here to take care of the Kaufmann family. So, there’s no need to worry,
and you know that The Green Flamation forum has me.”
Inken’s expression turned stoic as he continued. “If Jamie tries to harm anyone from The Green Flamation, forum again... I don’t
care how many men he has under his beck and call. I will ensure that he regrets ever making that decision ever again!”
Landon nodded and added. “Based on our previous investigation, the reason why the LEV is so difficult to deal with is because
they have been undercover for many years, accumulating all their strength for those few attacks. Strictly speaking, they aren’t
exactly difficult opponents to deal with under normal circumstances.”
The three of them agreed on a plan after exchanging every scrap of information they had in hand.
Brisa decided to follow Freya and offered, “I’ll accompany you to the Kaufmann family. I can keep an eye out for Isabella as long
as I’m there.”
Freya gladly agreed to her proposal. “Sure, having you at home will put my mind at ease.”
The four of them left one after another. Radley drove the car while Freya and Brisa sat in the backseat.
When they arrived at Freya’s home, she got out of the car and bid farewell to him, saying, “Be careful on your way back.”
He gazed at her with deep eyes before glancing at the tall lamppost nearby and nodded in acknowledgment.
Then, Freya brought Brisa back to the Kaufmann family.
Isabella was in the know of Brisa’s true identity. However, that couldn’t be said for Sylvia, as she only knew that Brisa was an
heiress of substantial standing in Capital.
So, when she caught sight of Brisa, she smiled and teased, “Are you running away from home again?”
Brisa’s face betrayed a hint of surprise as she promptly replied, “Madam Sylvia, this time I left with my father’s permission.”
