Chapter 475 Return to Silvercrest City

Chapter 475 Return to Silvercrest City

"Hey, Mrs. Castillo! Long time no see. The sheriff sends his regards," the lead officer greeted Freya with a friendly smile as he walked in.

"Tell your sheriff that what he wanted is already in the usual place," Freya replied, settling onto the couch. "Now, have him get an armored vehicle ready to go to Castillo Hospital and take those machines away. Also, get a police car prepped to head to Castillo Manor. There'll be plenty of perks for you once this is done."

The police quickly took control of Castillo Manor, cutting off all signals and isolating it completely from the outside world.

Donald was anxious and helpless. He had called the police over a domestic dispute, hoping to scare Freya into moving the women used for pregnancies in the hospital, so Michael's people could protect the witnesses. He never expected the police to actually show up, let alone be in cahoots with Freya.

Now, although he had forced Freya to make the transfer, she was using a police armored vehicle, making it impossible for Michael's people to intervene.

Outside Castillo Hospital, Michael and his team had been staking out all night but couldn't find a way to breach the hospital's security system. Even the top hackers from the Johnson Group were stumped, unable to find any vulnerabilities.

They were counting on Donald to force Freya to move the witnesses. When a vehicle approached in the night, Michael felt a surge of excitement. But his excitement quickly faded when he saw what kind of vehicle it was.

Although they had weapons, they were no match for an armored vehicle. They could only watch helplessly as the heavily armed vehicle entered the hospital and then left, unable to do anything but follow from a distance.

"Michael, should we ask Dr. Runyon for help?" Isabella suggested, thinking of Leroy. Despite being just a doctor, the Runyon Family had a strong background.

Michael had previously discussed a potential collaboration with Leroy, but due to past conflicts with the Runyon Family and Leroy's lack of a clear response, he hadn't involved Leroy in this operation.

Seeing Michael's hesitation, Isabella took out her phone. "I'll call him."

Before she could dial, Leroy's call came in.

"Aiden has confessed," Leroy's voice came through as soon as Isabella answered.

"Dr. Runyon, let's not talk about that now," Isabella interrupted urgently. "We're in Silvermist City, following Freya, who has moved the witnesses. But we can't intercept them; she's using a police armored vehicle."

All she could think about was stopping that vehicle to convict Freya. Other matters, especially her biological father's identity, were no longer important after finding Natalia.

"Why didn't you inform me earlier?" Leroy sounded anxious. "Share your location with me. I'll bring someone over right away."

He hung up quickly. As Isabella shared their location, she wondered aloud, "Leroy said he's bringing someone. Who could it be?"

Michael had his suspicions but said nothing. Suddenly, a police car overtook them and forced them to stop. Freya rolled down the window, taunting Isabella, "Isabella, just like Natalia back then, you can't do anything to me. You're both losers."

Isabella clenched her teeth in frustration, but there was nothing she could do.

Michael chuckled and said, "Freya, you really think you can just walk away?"

Freya laughed arrogantly. "Five hundred feet ahead is the dock, controlled by my people. Once we're in international waters, no one can touch us. The Castillo Group shares are in our hands. We can rebuild anytime. If you're interested, you can join us. I quite like your genes!"

Michael cleared his throat and calmly said, "Mr. Castillo, as a friend of Donald's, I suggest you check if the Castillo Group shares are still in your hands."

Marvin, realizing something, quickly made a call. His face grew darker with each passing second until he angrily threw his phone. "That idiot! She sold all my shares!"

"Marvin, I told you to transfer them to me, but you didn't trust me and gave them to that woman!" He kicked Marvin out of the car and ordered the driver to speed away.

Isabella grabbed Michael's arm, worried. "Michael, she got away again. What do we do now?"

Isabella checked her watch and murmured, "It should be time."

Just then, the sound of helicopters filled the sky, and the distant blare of a naval ship's horn echoed. Soon, Freya, the police escorting her, and Marvin were all taken away by a group of soldiers.

"Mr. Johnson, Isabella," Leroy greeted them. "Freya has been taken away. This matter involves national security, so the military intervened. Rest assured, they will face justice."

He hesitated, glancing behind him. Isabella noticed a tall, uniformed man who bore a striking resemblance to Milan. He stepped forward, wanting to shake Isabella's hand, but hesitated, nervously rubbing his hands. "Are you Natalia's daughter?"

Isabella looked at Leroy, a realization dawning on her. Leroy nodded and introduced, "Uncle Sawyer, this is Isabella Taylor, and her husband, Michael Johnson, CEO of the Johnson Group. Isabella, Mr. Johnson, this is my dad's cousin, my uncle, Sawyer Delgado. Aiden said he's your biological father. I used your sample from our hospital to confirm it. You are indeed father and daughter."

Sawyer Delgado nervously explained, "Years ago, I went to my cousin Milan's suite, had a drink, and was drugged. I encountered Natalia, who was also drugged. She was my idol, and we... If you want, you can stay in Silvermist City."

"No need. You don't owe me anything. Just make sure Freya gets what she deserves," Isabella replied, hesitating to reveal Natalia's whereabouts.

As Sawyer and his team left, Michael asked, "You're not going to tell him your mother is alive?"

Isabella looked up at the night sky, where a star in the direction of Silvercrest City twinkled as if calling to her. "If he wants to know, he has the means to find out. We have our own lives, Michael. Let's go back to Silvercrest City."

"Alright, back to Silvercrest City," Michael said, gently hugging her from behind.

A cruise ship sailed across the sea, fireworks lighting up the night sky in a dazzling display.
