NovelEnglishChapter 1498:
The question caught everyone off guard.
Freya felt a jolt in her chest. But as always, she stayed composed and casually asked, “Why would you think
that?”
“I saw her car parked outside—the sone she drove earlier today,” Melvin explained, his thoughts now
spinning. A part of him even started wondering if Hugh adopting him had something to do with Jessica.
“The white coupe?” Freya asked, her tone cool.
“Yeah,” Melvin said with a nod.
“That was Jacob's,” Freya said flatly, lying without missing a beat.
Melvin didn’t question it—Freya wasn’t the kind of person he believed capable of lying to him. “Alright then.”
He exchanged a few final words and walked out. Once he got in his car, he gave Jessica a call.
When she saw his nflash across the screen, her nerves flared up. “It's Melvin.”
“He probably thinks you need a ride,” Freya guessed. “If he asks about it, just say Jacob's car broke down and
you lent him yours.”
“Got it,” Jessica said with a nod.
She let it ring a few more times before finally picking up.
Just like Freya predicted, Melvin's first words were, “Where are you?”
“I'm still shopping with Haley. What's up?” Jessica didn’t hesitate to drag her best friend in as backup.

drove. “Wantto swing by and pick you up?”
“No need. Harley's drivingback later,” Jessica answered smoothly, then added, “I lent my car to my uncle
Jacob. His broke down and had to get towed.”
“Alright.” Melvin didn’t suspect a thing.
If it had been anyone else, he might've doubted it.

But when it cto Freya and Jessica, he never second-guessed them—their words were law in his heart.
After ending the call, Jessica turned to Freya and Hugh, said she'd see them tomorrow, and got ready to leave.
“Ill have someone drop you off,” Freya said as Jessica slung her purse over her shoulder.
Jessica's first instinct was to refuse.

“Alright. Thanks for the ride,” Jessica gave a polite nod, keeping her tone light.
After meeting up with Haley, the two wandered aimlessly through the streets.
