Freya's heart sank. Indeed, the Clark family was one of the very few powerful families in Melbourne. Cathy had offended the Clark family.
"So... So what can we do?"
"I've... informed my uncle to come here." A look of distress and helplessness crossed Ethan's face. Although Wesley was currently his love rival, he had n o choice but to ask him for help in order to save Catherine.
"My uncle has a wide network. He might have a way out."
"Oh, okay." Freya had heard from Catherine that Wesley was interested in her. Sure enough, Ethan had t o rely on his uncle at crucial moments like this.
As Freya gazed at Ethan, her eyes were increasingly filled with disgust. She could not help but mock him." After being dumped by your fiancee, you finally know who treats you the best. You don't find Catherine shameful anymore, huh?"
"Back then, it was my fault. I was blind."
Freya snorted. "The environment in the detention center is really awful. Ever since Cathy was locked in the old manor, she was traumatized by the
experience. We have to bring her out tonight."
Ethan was stunned. "What happened in the old manor? Wasn't she served with great food and drinks there?"
"Is there something wrong with you? Didn’t you see the medical certificate which was shared online? She was terribly abused there, and she almost lost her life."
Freya stared at Ethan as if he was mentally disabled.
"She was locked there for three days with all the windows and doors nailed shut. Not even a ray of light could shine through. The rice she had was stale. She had no blanket and clothes. There was no electricity and water. She couldn’t even contact anyone outside and had almost died in the manor. Fortunately...
Fortunately, we managed to rescue her. By the time she arrived at the hospital, she was nearly dead." 1
Ethan’s body trembled violently.
He had visited the Jones family's house to ask about i t, but that was not what he was told.
