    Chapter 428 Too Arrogant


    They dared not approach any further, and Landon turned the vehicle around.


    Brisa took out her phone and reported the situation to Inken.


    Inken’s voice came through the phone, sounding very serious. “We’ve recently uncovered all of Jamie’s


    background, including all the information gathered by the LEV! He seems to have held the position of


    strategist within the organization, making him the second-inmand. of this terrorist group.


    All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    “However, he killed the organization’s leader, Falcon, a while ago. As a result, he made an enemy of


    ck Hawk, who is Falcon’s younger brother and based in Iternia. ck Hawk certainly couldn’t stand


    by and watch his brother being killed and his legacy taken away by Jamie.”


    Brisa furrowed her brows. “So, you’re saying we’re toote, and Jamie was killed by ck Hawk?”


    Inken’s voice grew more intense. “Don’t let your guard down. Stay on high alert! Don’t stay in Kundin


    anymore, either. We’ve now exposed LEV, and everyone is in the open. Come back to Caltun. It’ll be


    easier to deal with them in our territory!”


    Brisa expressed regret, “I wish I could have taken him down personally. It’s really frustrating.”


    Inken’s voice turned solemn. “Have you ever considered that he might not be dead? Why do you think I


    told you toe back? Faking death is something Jamie has done multiple times before. Remember


    how LEV disappearedpletely after being hunted down by Interpol? It was all part of his n.”


    Landon, who was driving, nodded in agreement. “He might pull the same trick again. This guy is truly


    terrifying.”


    Brisa sighed deeply. “Let’s head back then. Inken, Freya’s back in Caltun now, right?”


    Inken’s voice grew heavy. “She’s not back.”


    “What?!” Brisa sat up straight. Landon also turned his attention to the phone call.


    “But I thought Freya had already escaped and met up with Radley and that Hood guy?!” Brisa


    said.


    Inken exined, “ording to Radley, Matthew has deceived Freya and taken her to Mutrya. We’ll


    discuss the details when youe back. I can’t exin everything over the phone right now. Just know


    that Freya is not in immediate danger.

    A few dayster, at the Kaufmann Residence in Caltun, Braxton had a stern expression as he looked at


    Matthew during a video call.


    “Matthew, if you don’t bring Frey back, our years of friendship will be in vain!” Braxton said, his voice


    filled with frustration.


    Isabe, who was standing nearby, was furious. “Matthew, Frey’s family is here in Caltun, and she has


    us, her loved ones, to support her. Even if she’s going through some kind of rehab, ast you mentioned,


    she should have us by her side. What’s the meaning of taking her abroad alone?”


    Isabe’s fiery temper made her wish she could p Matthew right through the screen.


    However, the person on the other end of the video call remainedposed. “Braxton, Frey has already


    started her rehab at an authoritative institution. These days are the most challenging for her, so she


    hasn’t been in the right state of mind tomunicate with you all. Give her a few more days, and you’ll


    see if she’s doing this willingly.”


    Braxton’s face turned cold. “I know my sister best, and she’s doing this willingly. She just doesn’t want


    us to worry. But, Matthew, aren’t you taking advantage of her in this situation?”


    Matthew, in the video call, fell silent for a few seconds.


    “Braxton, the world is inherently unfair. I just appeared a bitter than Radley. I need a chance to see if


    I can win her heart.”


    Braxton’s anger made his face turn almost purple. “What if you can’t?”


    “It’s okay if I can’t. As long as she lets me stay by her side,” Matthew replied with a smile.


    Braxton shouted in frustration, “Matthew Hood! Do you realize how dangerous your situation is? Inken


    said that Jamie is likely faking his death and hiding. He mighte after Frey. I’m telling you seriously,


    you need to bring my sister back immediately!”


    Matthew’s expression turned serious as well. “Braxton, trust me. I’ve made preparations for this. Even if


    I die, I won’t let any harme to her.”


    Isabe was about to say something when Sylvia approached from the dining room.


    Matthew was somewhat surprised to see Sylvia but remained respectful. “Mrs. Kauffman,” he greeted.


    Sylvia gave a stern look to Braxton and Isabe before turning her attention to Matthew on the video


    call. “Matthew, I understand your intentions, but you must ensure Frey’s safety I won’t meddle in the


    affairs between you young people, but if anything happens to Frey. I will make sure the Hood family


    pays the price”

    Matthew nodded as if he had anticipated this. “Mrs. Kauffman, I will take good care of her. Three


    months, once her rehab isplete, I will send her back.”


    Sylvia nodded. “Three months, but I wonder if Hood Group continues to exist three monthster,” she


    said coldly, casting a disapproving look at Matthew.


    Matthew was aware of the situation concerning the Hood Group. Currently, Monaghant Group was


    taking aggressive actions against Hood Group, even targeting their branch in Vroria. With him not


    present as the CEO, Hood Group was in a precarious position. However, he didn’t want to concern


    himself with those matters now. He believed it was time. to go after his happiness.


    After ending the video call, Sylvia sat on the couch and sighed in relief.


    Braxton, who was by her side, looked at Sylvia with concern. Ever since Freya went missing, he had


    convinced his mother to go on a trip to Vroria. When she suddenly returned two days. ago, both he and


    Isabe were caught off guard. Upon her return, Sylvia immediately demanded to see Freya and


    eventually learned the truth.


    Thankfully, Freya was no longer in a life-threatening situation, as she was undergoing rehab in Mutrya.


    Though she couldn’t return home for the time being, it was much better than not. knowing her


    whereabouts.


    Isabe observed Sylvia and said, “Mom, please don’t worry. Matthew will definitely protect Freya.”


    Sylvia had scolded Braxton harshly the day before, but she hadn’t said a word to Isabe. She was hurt


    that her daughter-inw and son had kept such a big secret from her.


    Upon hearing Isabe’s words, Sylvia let out a long sigh. “This boy, Matthew, is not as reliable. as


    Radley. I don’t want Freya to be with him, but for now, we have no other choice.”


    Braxton and Isabe exchanged nces. “Mom, I thought you used to despise Radley. Have you


    changed your opinion now?”


    Sylvia replied, “When judging people, you have to consider how they handle situations. Matthew is too


    arrogant, thinking he can protect Freya. It’s not a good thing for her. Brax, we still need to find out


    Freya’s whereabouts. We can’t let her stay in Mutrya.”


    Braxton immediately nodded, “Radley’s team has also arrived in Mutrya, but Matthew was well-


    prepared. It won’t be easy to locate him.”


    Meanwhile, on the top floor of a tall medical building in Bexley, Mutrya, Freya sat on a lounge chair,


    basking in the sun


    The lounge chair was ced on the grass, and the entire top floor was arge garden. If you didn’t go


    to the edge, you couldn’t even tell that this was the rooftop of a skyscraper.
