Freya had indeed committed crimes after marrying into the Chilton family, but before this she had always colluded with Heinz. She thought that as long as Heinz was good to her, everything would be perfectly flawless.
She did not expect that Heinz would tell all these to his parents.
Now that Heinz had been arrested, his parents decided to reveal everything.
To make matters worse, they threatened Freya that if she did not save Heinz, they would expose all the bad things that she had done!
If that happened, neither the Chilton family nor the Stewart family would accept her into their family.
Freya thought about this and could not help but shudder. At this point, she could only compromise.
Hence, she tried to explain things to Thea again in a calm manner.
"Thea, this all must be a misunderstanding! Can you drop the charges against Heinz? We are a family. Can't we solve it privately?"
Thea scoffed, "Oh I heard you clearly, but why can't
I understand a thing you said? Heinz had paid someone to cause a commotion and deliberately released a video to confuse the public on the Internet. If it was only a misunderstanding, how did this blow up? Did someone force him to do it?"
Thea paused and looked at Freya again.
"Or was it you, Freya? Did you order Heinz to do this?"
Freya's body shook as she said, "Nonsense, it wasn't me."
"If it's not you, what misunderstanding are you referring to then?"
With that, Thea turned around and refused to entertain Freya anymore. Heather rolled her eyes at Freya and hurriedly interjected, "Don't go! Freya is not good with words. Tell me, what do you want exactly?"
Thea shot a glance at Freya before hinting, "How do you plan to convince me if you don't show any sincerity behind your words?"
Heather immediately understood what Thea meant and quickly ordered, "Freya, kneel down and apologize to your sister immediately!"
Freya exploded with anger. She shrieked, "No way! Why should I kneel to her? She's just an illegitimate daughter. She's just acting up because she married into a wealthy and influential family!"
Slap!
Heather slapped Freya after hearing that, warning her, "What did you say? Are you trying to look for death?"
Freya fell to the ground from the impact of the slap, and Heather quickly called for someone to hold her down.
"Kneel down and apologize to your sister now!"
Freya could not move and was frightened by the coldness in Heather's eyes. Ever since young, she had been spoiled and brought up like royalty.
The saying "an empty tin can makes the most noise" described her perfectly.
Now that she had met her match, Freya could do nothing at all!
She could only comply, "Will you let Heinz go?"
Thea recalled the time when she first arrived at the Stewart family. At that time, she was young and naive.
Freya had tricked her into going into the garden, of which Thea really went.
When she got there, she found that the orchids in the garden had been uprooted and trampled into the dirt.
Just when she was hesitating whether to call for someone, Freya had brought her group of lackeys.
The minute she arrived, she immediately accused Thea of destroying their father's precious orchids.
She was very scared at that time and tried her best to explain, but no one would listen to her. In the end, she was roughly brought back to Isaac and was forced to kneel in front of him.
That was the first time she felt her very own father's spite towards her.
