StarNovelChapter 176 An Unexpected Reunion.
Jacob didn't need a second thought to discern who was behind it all.
Nathaniel's obsession with Freya had escalated to the point of madness and paranoia.
Upon realizing that Freya was slipping from his grasp, he concocted a ruthlessly cunning plan.
When Jacob's grandfather had purchased the castle in Europe years ago, it was Nathaniel who had facilitated the transaction. The previous owner had been a tough negotiator, forcing Nathaniel to step in and finalize the deal. Naturally, if there were any hidden intricacies regarding the castle's sale, Nathaniel would be the one privy to them.
Jacob and Nathaniel had once been as close as brothers, so Jacob had little reason to be suspicious. Nathaniel had always been a reliable ally, someone he could count on when things went awry.
Jacob had never imagined that Nathaniel would betray him. He even began to suspect that the catastrophic car accident was Nathaniel's doing.

After finally shaking off Nathaniel's henchmen in Europe, he returned to Saeville.
But he hadn't anticipated this...
Jacob gazed at Freya's surgically altered face. Despite Nathaniel's despicable actions, he had to admit that the plastic surgeon he had hired was exceptionally skilled. Her face was almost identical to how it had been three years ago.
If he had to pinpoint any specific changes, it was that she was noticeably thinner, which lent her an endearing vulnerability.
Jacob moved towards Freya.
Upon seeing him, Freya instinctively started to approach him as well. But Nathaniel held her back, his grip on her wrists painfully tight. She halted, turning to stand behind him.
Jacob was about to reach out to Freya, but he slowly withdrew his hand, fixing Nathaniel with a chilling glare. Jacob had only arrived in Saeville three days prior. His first order of business had been to find Freya.
Freya and her friend Peyton had vacated their old condo. They had moved out.
The landlord had already leased the unit to a family of four who were conducting business in the city. Jacob was thrown into a panic.

Nathaniel had imprisoned Freya in the Newport Villa coercing/ into signing a contract with Technologent Group. If she were to breach it, she would be liable for an astronomical penalty.
Now, Freya was Nathaniel's lover by night and subordinate by day. She was trapped in a precarious situation, caught between being a lover and not being one.
For someone as proud as Freya, this was a relentless torment.
Alexander had even tactfully informed him about the helicopter incident..
To the elite of Saeville, it might have been just another dalliance for Nathaniel. But Jacob knew what it meant to Freya.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe stared intently at Nathaniel, walked past him, and enveloped Freya in a tight embrace.
She could feel the waves of anger and other emotions roiling within him. It felt like a poignant reunion of old friends who had deeply missed each other.
In fact, Jacob's embrace was so tight that Freya found it slightly suffocating.
"It's been a while, Fay!" His voice was choked with emotion.
"It's been a while, Mr. Rivera," Freya responded.
Freya had more to say, but Nathaniel had already pulled her away from Jacop's arms.
It took a moment for Jacob to regain his composure. Then he turned to Nathaniel with a sly smile: "I heard you're getting married soon, Mr. Morgan?" "Congratulations!" As he spoke, his gaze involuntarily drifted towards Freya.
Freya was beginning to feel overwhelmed. Jacob's sudden return, his alliance with Alexander...It only served to further complicate an already complex situation. Send Gifts 238 Balance: X
