Chapter 372 Can’t Figure It Out
Frem Closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “Since they have already planned such a detailed escape route,
there’s no way we can catch up to them in a short time. We can’t keep playing catchup with them. We must find a
way to get ahead of them.”
As she spoke, Freya’s body swayed.
The recent series of events had exhausted her both physically and mentally. On top of that, she had performed
intensive work today. The exhaustion was getting to her.
Inken nodded. “Let’s discuss this tomorrow. You need to go back now.” His tone was stern, his attitude firm.
Seeing that Freya was unwilling to leave, he turned to Radley. “Could you please take her back and let her rest
properly?
Their gazes met, and Radley nodded. “Alright.”
Seeing that he was about to get up, Freya softened her attitude and relented. She nodded. Then I’ll go back first.
Notify me immediately if there’s any news.”
Freya followed Radley into the car, and as the car drove on the road, she sat silently in the back seat.
The moment she closed her eyes, all she could see were images of Eugene being shot in front of her. The warm
blood had long been wiped away, but the scorching heat seemed to still linger.
Radley sat beside Freya and reached out to hold her hand.
He looked up at Connor in front and said, “Head back to Smalzot Yard.”
The car changed its direction, turning toward the road to Smalzot Yard instead of Kaufmann Residence.
Freya turned to look at Radley, her eyes filled with confusion.
“Your mother is currently at the hospital with Jolly, and Braxton hasn’t been staying at Kaufmann Residence
recently. I’m worried about you going back home alone,” Radley explained.
Freya nodded and turned her gaze toward the night scenery outside.
After a long silence, she finally spoke. “Brisa hasn’t been found yet, and Eugene is gone. Radley, I’m exhausted. I
even thought about handing over the Compendium of Medical Wisdom to them. I don’t want to involve more

But if she handed it over to them, and they got what they wanted, she would have no way to seek revenge for the
ones who had passed away.
Benjamin, Eugene, the kidnapping case, the car accident, and the arson incident at Kaufmann Residence…
Freya’s hand tightened, her nails digging into Radley’s fingers.
Her teeth trembled slightly, and amidst her sorrow, there was a deep, underlying hatred. “Why? Why did they do
this? What is the meaning behind those golden thread patterns?”
Radley lowered his gaze, his hand that was being held unmoving. As he watched his beloved person being troubled
by these matters, a cold killing intent surged in his heart.

He gently pulled Freya into his arms, his voice deep and filled with the power to calm one’s nerves. “Don’t worry,
I’m sure this matter will be resolved soon.”
Freya fell silent for a moment “Today, they could have targeted me as well, but they didn’t.”
She was shielding Eugene’s body at that time, like a sitting duck.
After shooting Eugene, they had plenty of time to shoot her as well, but they didn’t.
The man standing on the rope ladder was wearing a mask, but she could feel his eyes on her.
Freya’s hand trembled. “I want to investigate every single person who has been associated with the Kaufmann
family
The car had arrived at Smalzot Yard, and Radley took Freya to the second floor.
He gave up the master bedroom and sat in the room, accompanying Freya for a while.
Freya seemed to be trapped in a nightmare, furrowing her brows and murmuring about who it could be. She tried
to unravel the mystery, starting from the first car accident.
“The first car accident happened shortly after I won the bid for the Compendium of Medical Wisdom. They were
ruthless back then, and then I met you…”
Freya contemplated. The time when she began to feel that something was amiss was during Benjamin’s accident.
At that time, they stopped targeting people from the Kaufmann family and instead began targeting those around
her.
Even when Jovius was kidnapped later, Radley said that they didn’t harm him. He even said Jovius would have been
safe even if he wasn’t the one rescuing Jovius.
But before and after Benjamin’s matter, she didn’t seem to have made any new friends.
Freya furrowed her brows. She couldn’t figure it out, and she felt like punching herself in the head.
“Why can’t I figure it out-”
A hand reached out and grabbed her. Freya looked up to see Radley staring at her seriously.
“If you can’t figure it out, then don’t think about it. You won’t solve anything like this. Take a break first.” Radley’s
voice was gentle.
Freya pouted, all the sadness and grievances of the day surging within her. Tears welled up in her eyes. “But
Eugene-
Radley’s heart ached. Eugene was already gone, and he didn’t know how to comfort Freya.
“Eugene’s death will definitely be avenged,” he whispered soothingly.
Freya wiped away her tears, forcing herself to calm down.
But as she calmed down, she realized how close she was to Radley. When she looked up; she met his pair of eyes
that were as dark as ink.
Freya’s heart thumped suddenly, and she had originally wanted to push Marley away Bear when her bed

Only when someone was watching over Jovius could she feel at ease

You must be tired today. You should go back and rest.
After Radley left, Freya went into the bathroom to take a shower, her eyes lowered, still looking lethargie
Seeing her friend die in front of her was a traumatic experience,
In the following days, the forces that had been lurking in Caltun began to surface.
The Kaufmann family, the Monaghan family, and an organization unbeknownst to the people had all come to light
in Caltun, and the city was being searched.
Freya reported the news of Eugene’s murder to the police.
The police had already started investigating, as there had been a series of mysteries surrounding the Kaufmann
family, such as car accidents, arson, and kidnappings, but they had been unable to find the culprits.
Later, the Kaufmann family took matters into their own hands and started their own investigation. So, the police
turned a blind eye to that.
A week passed without any progress, and Freya stayed a Smalzot Yard for the whole week.
She informed Braxton of her safety and then kept track of the progress of the investigation daily. She also searched
for clues online.
At half past eleven in the morning, there was a knock on her door.
The maid’s voice sounded. “Miss Kaufmann, Mr. Monaghan is inviting you to have lunch downstairs.”
“Got it,” Freya replied.
Throughout the week, Radley returned every day at noon to have lunch with her.
The Monaghan Group had also been busy during this week, having terminated the employment of several senior
executives. Mr. Zuckerberg, who was originally a shareholder, sold all his shares to Radley at a low price and left
the company in a dejected manner.
Caltun was getting more and more chaotic during this period, which was supposed to be the busiest time for the
Monaghan Group.
Nevertheless, he still managed to find time to come back and have lunch with her every day.
