She Took The House, The Car, And My Heart

Chapter 235 How Did You

Find Out

Josiah just couldn't figure it out-he kept watching Freya in silence, waiting for her to say something

The more he tried to guess, the more ridiculous his thoughts became,

"Let's talk after lunch," Freya murmured, trying not to ruin his appetite. "It's nothing urgent."

"If you don't tell me, I'll just keep overthinking," Josiah said with a sigh, putting on

a tic flair. "When something's on my mind, | lose my appetite. Might not even want lunch."

Freya was suddenly at a loss for words. Quite the performer.

She chose not to drag it out any longer and spoke plainly. "It's about Norah."

"Norah?" Josiah's whole demeanor shifted in a heartbeat.

He instantly recalled the conversation he'd had with Kristian a few days ago. Could they possibly be talking

about the sthing?

Freya nodded. "Right."

She got up and pulled sdocuments from her bag, handing them to Josiah after steadying herself. "She's

made quite a few mistakes. Just... please don't be upset when you read through them."

Josiah took the documents and began to read, his expression calm and unreadable the whole time.

He didn't even say a word, just silently flipped through every page.

The more quiet he became, the more anxious Freya felt, fearing he was bottling everything up inside.

"| found out about this a few days ago," Josiah said, his voice steady, not angry- just heavy with a quiet

seriousness. "It's my fault and my son's, for not raising her properly. It's brought you far too much trouble."

Freya blinked, caught off guard.

She quickly gathered herself and asked, "How did you find out?"

until now, only she and Melvin had known. And Melvin would never have gone to Josiah with it.

Josiah looked at her, emotions flickering in his eyes, before he finally said, "Kristian cto seea few days

ago and brought it up."

"Kristian?"

"Yeah."

Freya's thoughts scattered slightly. How had Kristian learned the truth?

"When he left, he askednot to confront you about it and apologized. Said he'd make sure Norah paid for

what she did."

Josiah still couldn't wrap his head around why the two of them ad divorced.

Wasn't Kristian thoughtful when it cto Freya?

Freya's eyes widened.

Josiah went on, "I planned to discipline Norah, but she vanished without a word- took a flight abroad on the

night of the third. Nobody's been able to reach her since."

Upon hearing that, Freya remembered seeing Norah outside the Briggs Group building not too long ago. Was she

afraid of facing her? And she ran off in advance?

"Freya," Josiah said, sounding remorseful.

Freya answered softly, "Yes?"

"I'm sorry for all the chaos my family has caused. If I'd known sooner about her reckless behavior, | would've

corrected it." Josiah wasn't one to make empty promises. "I've already told Brady about it. Once she's back,

we'll definitely take action."

"You don't need to apologize. The blame's hers-not yours," Freya reassured him, seeing that his mood was

holding steady.

Josiah genuinely meant every word. Freya believed him.

In truth, Josiah felt deeply disappointed-he never imagined his granddaughter would turn out like this. Norah

must have been far too coddled.

"Josiah," Freya said, bringing up another issue.

Josiah had always treated her with kindness. "Go ahead, say what's on your mind."

"If Norah ever tries to cafteragain, and I'm certain it's her... | might retaliate directly," Freya warned

him, laying her intentions bare.

Norah was too calculated in her moves, always covering her tracks.

Because of that, Freya felt she had no other choice but to handle things herself.

"Do whatever you have to," Josiah said firmly. "You've got my full support."

If his son tried to defend Norah, he would step in himself.

If only Norah's father had raised his child with the sdiscipline Brady had, she wouldn't be like this.

Mack might be playful, but he understood boundaries and wouldn't cross the line into anything unlawful.

"If it's something minor, go to Mack. Brady's been going easier on him since that last training." Josiah added.

He left out the most important part.

Now that Ellis had retired, if Freya were ever mistreated, he'd be the first one to step in.

Freya replied, "Alright."

With that matter settled, she felt a small sense of relief

Noticing they hadn't started lunch yet, Josiah invited Freys to a gof chess.

Before they began, he sent a message to Ellis. "If you don't show up soon, freya mira lane

Ellis, busy playing chess with a circle of retired old-timers, glanced at his phone. "Hold her there. I'll cafter

this round," he texted back

"Ellis, it's your turn-why are you staring at your phone?"

"Con, move already."

"I'm next, don't even think about skipping me."

"Has Ellis actually improved all these years?"

"What's the point? No one's ever pushed him hard enough.”

"This one's a genius."

The group of older men chatted animatedly.

Draped in a long black coat, Ellis gave a faint smile. "Once we finish this round,

you old fogies better head back for lunch. Don't keep your wives waiting"

"It's nearly noon already!"

"Tflies. We've only played two rounds."

"I don't care-I'm first after lunch."

"Nope. It's my turn."

The group bickered lightheartedly.

Ellis's eyes were deep and intense. His elegant fingers danced across the chessboard with precision and grace.

He sped up his pace, curious to see how Freya would react when she saw him. Back at Josiah's place, Freya

focused fully on the chessboard, aware that when he played seriously, he was no

easy opponent.

Twenty minutes ticked by. Their greached a tense, pivotal moment, just as Ellis finished his own match.

Freya and Josiah were so locked into their game, they didn't notice the tall, striking man in a black coat and

combat boots walking quietly along the garden

path.

Freya leaned in, checking Josiah's piece.

Right then, Ellis cto a stop behind her.

His mesmerizing gaze swept over the back of her head, then dropped to the chessboard, a faint smile curling on

his lips.

Freya sensed someone standing behind her but thought nothing of it, assuming it was someone from the
