Chapter 46

Killian even gave me a hug at that time.

Looking back now, realizing it was all his doing, my skin crawls.

So when he gave me that warm hug, what kind of mocking expression must have been on his face?

My father was killed by him, my wonderful life was destroyed by him...

Yet he could hold me in his arms without any guilt, telling me it was okay, that he would take care of me from now on.

Thinking back, I couldn't help clenching my fingers. "I think I know where the real will is."

Virio looked at my determined expression and said without hesitation, "It's okay. Even if you're not sure where it is, don't feel pressured. I'll have my people help you find it."

I couldn't help throwing myself into Virio's arms.

Virio and Luca looked at me in surprise, probably thinking I was crying over my father's death.

Only I knew I was regretting why I had trusted Killian so easily back then!

If I had known earlier that he was the real murderer of my father, I probably would have found a dagger that day and stabbed it straight into his heart without hesitation!

After deciding to search for the real will and collect copies, Virio and I quickly made a plan.

This plan required me to go back home to confirm the location of the will, while Virio would do some things outside to support me.

I was worried this will was equally important to Killian, so he must have taken precautions.

Once the will went missing, he would definitely notice quickly.

But what reason should I use to go home now?

After thinking it over, I finally decided to find an opportunity.

When I moved out last time, things didn't end well between us.

What's more, at the family meeting, both Killian and Freya hated me to the core.

If I went back now, it would be hard to even get out. They might also know I must have some special purpose for going back.

I might as well say I needed to go home to get a document for my collaboration with Virio.

No time to waste. After we finalized the plan, I took action the next day.

The next day, Virio had someone ask Killian out, saying they wanted to discuss a collaboration.

I went home under the pretense of getting documents.

Unexpectedly, when I got home, I noticed Freya was there too.

I had thought that when Killian said he would ground her at the family meeting, it was just an empty threat.

Who knew she was actually at home.

But this obviously affected my plan.

With Freya at home, she could discover me entering Killian's room at any moment.

So I could only send a message to Virio.

Soon, the doorbell rang. Virio used the same trick, appearing at my door again, using Freya's attraction to him to help me.

Sure enough, I had just returned to my bedroom when I heard noise outside. Freya opened the door without thinking and went to let Virio in.

Standing upstairs, I watched as Freya floated downstairs like a butterfly to the door. When she saw it was Virio, her face lit up with delight. "Mr. Soren, what brings you here?"

I sneered upstairs. My eyes met Virio's, and he nodded slightly at me, then looked away casually.

I quickly turned and went to Killian's room.

At the same time, I thought coldly that Freya still hadn't learned her lesson after so many tests.

Now, whenever Virio was around, she would fall for it without hesitation!

Anyway, I didn't have much time, but surprisingly, after I entered Killian's room, everything went more smoothly than I expected.

When I carefully searched through the nightstand and finally got my father's will, I was so excited I almost jumped up.

And Killian seemed completely unaware - he never came back the whole time.

I took the will back to my room. To avoid making Freya suspicious, I deliberately stayed a while longer and packed a suitcase.

Although all the necessary items had already been moved out, looking at this room now, I still had mixed feelings.

I tucked the will under a piece of clothing and took it out in the suitcase.

When I left, Virio was no longer at the door.

Freya sat on the sofa, mocking me. "Well, Elvira, what are you doing back here all of a sudden?"

"Don't tell me Mr. Soren dumped you, so you came back home?"

I couldn't be bothered with anything Freya said. I just packed my things and left.

But Freya hurried after me and grabbed my suitcase. At that moment, my heart skipped a beat!

I thought she had discovered something, but the next second she sneered and said, "Let me tell you, Mr. Soren was just here, and I had a pleasant conversation with him. I think he's more interested in me than in you."

So she was just showing off to me.

I paused, turned around and said to her, "Do you think Virio would still be interested in you after your affairs with all those men got exposed?"

Freya froze, just as I expected.

I continued walking with my suitcase, only hearing her shouting furiously behind me, "Don't think I can't do anything to you just because you know about my affairs!"

"How long can Mr. Soren's favor last? He's just impressed by your previous rebellion. Do you really think he'll still treat you well once he knows everything you've done at home all these years? Don't forget, our two families are enemies."

Listening to Freya's impotent rage, I had no reaction and just kept walking.

Even Killian could choose to cooperate with Virio privately for profit, so why couldn't I?

What they valued from start to finish was nothing but money and power.

Besides, my relationship with Virio wasn't what Freya imagined.

We had already opened our hearts to each other...

But Freya's reminder kept echoing in my ears.

What was I to Virio?

I knew I couldn't judge our relationship by normal standards.

I was lost in thought on the way back.

The next day, I learned that Killian knew about the missing will.

Because his reaction was way too obvious.

Even though he wasn't at home, he sent people to search my room in a big way.

When Virio told me this news, I was lazily sitting on the sofa, drinking a glass of red wine.

What I took from Killian's room was indeed the original will.

I had already had a professional lawyer verify it.

But I wasn't planning to announce this news publicly yet.

I wanted to let Killian guess what I would do next. In this uncertainty, he would definitely waste his energy and lose his temper!
