Chapter 18

When Charles heard what I said, he gave a bitter smile. "Well, you're not wrong about that. So tell me, what do you need me to do?"

I quickly gave him the address of one of Freya's lovers.

Freya had only herself to blame for being so reckless. She now had three or four regular lovers.

And even these spots were constantly being rotated.

But there was one guy Freya had been messing around with for quite a while.

Kilian had already warned her several times before, but Freya showed no signs of restraint.

Even though she kept saying that Virio was the only one in her heart, and packaged herself as a harmless angel, only we knew just how disgusting and dirty she really was in private!

I gave Charles the address of that apartment.

Charles moved quickly. After hearing what happened to me, he immediately sent people to remove the jewelry from my car and hide it in Freya's lover's apartment.

"That's it? I thought your revenge would be more intense," Charles said, somewhat surprised after hearing my plan.

My revenge was simply to transfer the jewelry to that person's apartment, but I didn't provide any clues, as if the matter ended there.

I shook my head. "Since Freya already made an anonymous report, when they don't find the jewelry in my car, they'll definitely investigate related people and matters."

"Freya and I are family, so in this situation, the most likely target of investigation would be our family."

I believed their forces should be able to track down that batch of transferred jewelry pretty quickly.

But there was something I couldn't figure out, so I asked Charles, "If Freya wanted to frame me, she could have used many different methods. Why specifically jewelry?"

"Because this batch of smuggled jewelry is actually connected to Camorra. And to several other forces as well."

In short, this batch of jewelry was something many people were fighting over. Although not priceless, it represented a shift in power behind the scenes.

"Freya's choice of this jewelry was probably calculated. She wanted to frame you, perhaps to confirm your relationship with Mr. Soren."

After all, Freya had already been in contact with Camorra before.

Understanding this, I sneered. "She really spares no effort to deal with me!"

Charles smiled. "So you're just waiting for them to naturally investigate this?"

"Yes, but after hearing all this from you, I think maybe I should give them a little push."

An hour later, I had someone secretly deliver the information I had to Killian.

Learning that Freya was keeping men on the side was enough to make Killian furious, especially after checking all of Freya's spending records recently.

He threw a huge fit at home.

When I got home, I happened to hear their argument.

Freya's crying was particularly obvious. "I didn't do that. I don't even know that person. Why would I help him?"

"Then how do you explain that this batch of jewelry has your fingerprints on it and was sent to your lover's apartment?" Killian's voice was very loud.

Freya froze for a moment and blurted out, "What smuggled jewelry? Shouldn't that be in Elvira's car?"

The moment the words left her mouth, she quickly covered it.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Killian had already figured out that the whole thing was orchestrated by Freya.

I pretended I hadn't heard anything and walked past them both.

But as I went upstairs, I heard Killian's suppressed roar. "If you're going to frame Elvira, at least wait until the project stabilizes!"

Look at that, this was my uncle.

At such a dangerous time, Freya was concerned about losing face, while Killian only cared about profits.

I went upstairs without changing my expression, lifting my skirt, my heart cold.

They had no family affection left for me, only scheming.

And I didn't need to consider their feelings anymore.

From that day on, I could feel that Freya's actions had calmed down a bit.

Maybe it was because of Killian's warning.

Anyway, I rarely ran into her at home.

But according to various messages Sebastian gave me, Freya hadn't been quiet these past few days. She frequently went back and forth to one of her lover's apartments.

It was that man who had been framed.

Sebastian also sent me several photos.

In the photos, Freya was holding that man's arm with a smug smile on her face.

"I heard that to win back this lover's heart, she spent several figures?" I asked.

Actually, to say I felt nothing hearing about my sister doing this would be a lie.

Sebastian nodded. "Apparently, she's planning to get him a better apartment. Though I don't understand why she would keep a man like this."

I couldn't understand it either.

In my view, if a man couldn't help my career, then he was useless.

In this regard, I had inherited my uncle's nature.

Profit above all, absolutely ruthless.

Virio was already an exception in my life.

I shook my head. "I don't really care about these things. I just want to know if she's been doing anything against me lately."

Sebastian shook his head, but then said, "Freya seems to have contacted a hitman recently. I suspect it's related to you."

Hearing this, I laughed.

I felt Freya was even dumber than I thought.

Right now, I was an invaluable asset to the entire family.

Virio protected me without hesitation, stood by my side, and made everything very obvious.

Under these circumstances, Freya still wanted to send a hitman after me?

Did she really plan to kill me?

Too bad for her, I not only had Virio on my side, but also Sebastian.

I was no longer the helpless Elvira they used to manipulate.

Just half an hour after Sebastian told me this, Virio called me.

We rarely contacted each other directly, so hearing his voice surprised me. "Mr. Soren? Why are you calling me at this time?"

"I've caught someone here. Do you want to come take a look?" he said.

I readily agreed.

Half an hour later, Charles came to pick me up, and our destination was one of Virio's underground operations.

Unexpectedly, it was an above-ground building.

And it was at the corner of a busy alley.

"He built this place so openly, isn't he afraid of being discovered?" I couldn't help but gasp as I entered with Charles.

Virio was even more mysterious than I had imagined.

So far, he had done many things that challenged my understanding.

What was before my eyes was just one of them.
