Chapter 2014 The police rented a boat from a nearby fisherman to salvage the corpse ashore, brought forensics to
the scene for identification and evidence collection, and bagged the body. Edison fought through the crowd and
frowned. “Has the identity of the body been confirmed?” The detective turned to look at him. “It‘s Bear.” Edison
was startled as the zipper of the body bag was slowly pulled down. That pale and slightly swollen face was indeed
Bear‘s. ‘Bear has really died.‘ del
The detective got up and said earnestly, “We‘ve only found the suspect‘s body so far, but we won‘t give up on the
search and rescue.”
Edison nodded and sent the text message to Colton.
As soon as Colton arrived at the company, he received a text message from Edison saying that Bear‘s body had

the chair, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and muttered to himself, “He should still be alive... right?” ‘He‘d better be
still alive. Otherwise, I really don‘t know how to explain this clusterf*ck to Daisie.‘ At this time, he received a call
from the nanny. The nanny told him that Freyja had answered a phone call and had gone out.
Freyja came to the pier by car, and sure enough, she saw Deedee sitting alone on a bench.
“Deedee!” Freyja ran straight up to her and pulled her up. “Are you hurt? Where have you been all night? Why
didn‘t you return to the villa? Don‘t you know that I‘m worried to death about
you!?”
Deedee had actually run so far away by herself. If she had not taken the initiative to call her, she would still be
extremely worried that something bad had happened to her.
Deedee lowered her head and tightened the hands that were grasping the hem of her clothes.” I don‘t want to go
back...” Freyja took a deep breath and calmed her tone. “Deedee, don‘t act up and be angry with me, okay? Now
listen to me and come back with me.” She took Deedee‘s hand, but Deedee broke her hand free and started crying.
“I said I don‘t want to go back! If I go back with you to that uncle, you won‘t want to keep me anymore, so I don‘t
want you to go back!” Freyja was stunned.
‘Did she overhear what I said the other night? Has what I said affected her this much?‘. Deedee had no sense of
security and lacked parental love since the day she was born. And Freyja was the only person that she wanted to
rely on. The thought of sending her back to the Pruitts had undoubtedly made Deedee feel bad.
Freyja leaned over and placed her hand on her shoulder. “Deedee, are you blaming me for sending you away?
Sorry, I didn‘t consider your feelings. “But Deedee, I intend to send you back to your grandfather not because I
despise you and no longer want you to stay with me. Your daddy is one of the Pruitts, and that makes you one of
the Pruitts too. So I believe that your grandfather will definitely take good care of you. At least you won‘t feel as
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmaggrieved as when you‘re living with me, just like how you‘re feeling now. Your grandfather loves you as much as I
do too.” She stroked Deedee‘s cheek. “I have a great responsibility for who you‘ve become. I‘m sorry.” ‘Since I
started raising Deedee, both of us have been closely knitted. I‘m not her mother, but I have to take on a mother‘s
responsibility. But alas, I‘ve failed to fulfill my responsibility.’ She even wanted to send Deedee back to the Pruitts in
consideration of Colton and the Goldmanns. She was too selfish. Seeing her bloodshot eyes, Deedee felt slightly
shaken deep down. She did not want her aunt to hate her. She only wanted to live with her aunt. She pursed her lips
and said, “Aunty Freyja... It‘s actually Grandma‘s—” Before she could finish her sentence, Deedee‘s collar was
pulled by a man who suddenly appeared behind her, and she was thrown to the ground. Freyja‘s pupils constricted.
“Deedee!” Four men blocked her way. Sandy calmly walked out from behind those men with a lit cigarette and
glanced at Deedee, who fell to the ground and trembled out of rage. “What a useless piece of sh*t! She becomes
soft–hearted so quickly.”
