My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 917

Freya had indeed committed crimes after marrying into the Chilton family, but before this she had always colluded with Heinz. She thought that as long as Heinz was good to her, everything would be perfectly flawless.

She did not expect that Heinz would tell all these to his parents.

Now that Heinz had been arrested, his parents decided to reveal everything.

To make matters worse, they threatened Freya that if she did not save Heinz, they would expose all the bad things that she had done!

If that happened, neither the Chilton family nor the Stewart family would accept her into their family.

Freya thought about this and could not help but shudder. At this point, she could only compromise.

Hence, she tried to explain things to Thea again in a calm manner.

"Thea, this all must be a misunderstanding! Can you drop the charges against Heinz? We are a family. Can't we solve it privately?"

Thea scoffed, "Oh I heard you clearly, but why can't

I understand a thing you said? Heinz had paid someone to cause a commotion and deliberately released a video to confuse the public on the Internet. If it was only a misunderstanding, how did this blow up? Did someone force him to do it?"

Thea paused and looked at Freya again.

"Or was it you, Freya? Did you order Heinz to do this?"

Freya's body shook as she said, "Nonsense, it wasn't me."

"If it's not you, what misunderstanding are you referring to then?"

With that, Thea turned around and refused to entertain Freya anymore. Heather rolled her eyes at Freya and hurriedly interjected, "Don't go! Freya is not good with words. Tell me, what do you want exactly?" Thea shot a glance at Freya before hinting, "How do you plan to convince me if you don't show any sincerity behind your words?"

Heather immediately understood what Thea meant and quickly ordered, "Freya, kneel down and apologize to your sister immediately!"

Freya exploded with anger. She shrieked, "No way! Why should I kneel to her? She's just an illegitimate daughter. She's just acting up because she married into a wealthy and influential family!" Slap!

Heather slapped Freya after hearing that, warning her, "What did you say? Are you trying to look for death?"

Freya fell to the ground from the impact of the slap, and Heather quickly called for someone to hold her down.

"Kneel down and apologize to your sister now!"

Freya could not move and was frightened by the coldness in Heather's eyes. Ever since young, she had been spoiled and brought up like royalty.

The saying "an empty tin can makes the most noise" described her perfectly.

Now that she had met her match, Freya could do nothing at all!

She could only comply, "Will you let Heinz go?"

Thea recalled the time when she first arrived at the Stewart family. At that time, she was young and naive.

Freya had tricked her into going into the garden, of which Thea really went.

When she got there, she found that the orchids in the garden had been uprooted and trampled into the dirt.

Just when she was hesitating whether to call for someone, Freya had brought her group of lackeys.

The minute she arrived, she immediately accused Thea of destroying their father's precious orchids.

She was very scared at that time and tried her best to explain, but no one would listen to her. In the end, she was roughly brought back to Isaac and was forced to kneel in front of him. That was the first time she felt her very own father's spite towards her.

It was also the first time that she had been framed by others.

Thea suddenly smiled when she thought about this.

"Your apology does seem sincere, but... what if I still say no?"

"Thea Stewart!" Freya gritted her teeth in anger, "How can you go back on your words?"

"Don't call my name!" Thea turned around and shrugged, "How did I go back on my words? I just said that I wanted you to apologize, but I did not promise you anything after you apologized!" Come to think of it, Thea really did not promise her anything!

It was only now that Freya realized that she had been tricked!

"Thea Stewart, I swear that I'll kill you!" Thea sneered, "I'm just doing whatever you did to me ages ago. Have a taste of your own medicine!"

With that, she no longer took heed to their responses and left, slamming the door behind her as she headed into the ward!

Soon, Heather could be heard scolding Freya outside the ward.

"Back then, Heinz told me that he was going to marry the most outstanding daughter of the Stewart family. Why did I believe him? You' re obviously an idiot! A complete idiot!"

Meanwhile, Freya's dissatisfied voice could also be heard in retort.

"You're the one who asked me to do this! Why is it my fault now?"

"What do you mean? Are you saying that I'm the stupid one here? How did the Stewart family give birth to an idiot like you! Come, have someone send her to the police station now! Bring along those pieces of evidence with you, and ask if we can lessen Heinz's sentence by turning her in!"

Upon hearing this, Freya was really afraid.

"Mom! You can't do this."

"Don't call me! I don't have a stupid daughter-in-law like you! Everything happened because of you! So now, you'd better sacrifice yourself for my son!"

The corridor soon quieted down. Thea stood in the same place some while before she turned around.

Harley had been watching her all this while. When he saw that she was finally herself again, he asked gently.

"Are you feeling a little better now?"

Thea shook her head and explained, "It feels strange. I thought that I would be very happy when I saw her in distress, but I'm not. It's not that I pity her either, but the thought of how she used to treat me makes me feel dissatisfied."

"If I had a choice, I would definitely choose to stay with my mother. I would have never gone back with them and lived a life as an invisible person. I could only visit my mom once last time during her funeral!" Harley took her into his arms sadly and comforted her, "Let bygones be bygones. Maybe it's destined for us to get to know each other this way."

Thea did not look at him and sighed, "Oh, are you suggesting that if I had never came, we wouldn't be together? Well, I guess you'll be forever alone in your next life! I've decided that if I ever get another chance, I'd rather die than listen to my mom's advice to follow them home!"

Harley looked at her serious expression, the smile on his face gradually widening.

"It turns out that my precious Thea has already agreed to be with me in the next life! I guess I'm a pretty charismatic husband after all!"

Thea was stunned and realized that she had made a slip of her tongue! She hurriedly turned away and came up with some excuse, "Don't flatter yourself! I wasn't serious about that at all. Didn't you hear me say how I wouldn't want to come here if I had a choice? Even if you wanted to look for me, you would not be able to find me!"

"Then I will go wherever you are to look for you! As long as you're alive, I will be able to find you!"

Thea had to admit that Harley was a pretty good sweet-talker.

However, his words warmed her heart. She decided to just pretend he didn't say anything.

"I don't know if Freya will really be arrested this time. If she really managed to reduce Heinz's sentence by admitting her own wrongdoings, it wouldn't be a good thing for us!"

"No, she won't!" Harley assured Thea.

"The nature of this case is different. They have done bad things, and the evidence is conclusive. Moreover, they have no evidence to prove that Heinz did not commit those crimes. It is impossible for him to reduce his sentence! This time, they are destined to suffer!"
