The Ex-con Queen Strikes Back novel Chapter 221

Chapter 221

‘Given how much the family values Skylar now, she might even be able to get them to throw me out of the house, Freya thought anxiously.

Just thinking about it made Freya feel her blood turn to ice.

Freya bit her tongue hard, the pain sending

streaming down her face. She sobbed dramatically, “Brada, how could you frame me like this?

A

‘What I just said, that’s not what I meant at all! You totally misunderstood me!‘

Brada’s temper flared. “What nonsense! Sure, my Landishian isn’t perfect, but I know damn well what you meant! I didn’t misunderstand a thing!”

“Brada, I never thought you’d be this kind of person…” Freya sobbed dramatically, wiping away her tears as she ran off.

Brada was left standing there, utterly bewildered.

He really hadn’t done anything to her, so he wondered why she was acting like he’d just bullied her mercilessly

Everyone present knew full well that Freya’s obvious departure was out of sheer guilt.

Yana’s expression darkened.

Freya had been targeting Skylar repeatedly these days. She used to be so well–behaved. Yana wondered what on earth had gotten into her lately.

Yana thought, ‘I really should find time to sit down and have a serious talk with Freya.‘

Carlos was also puzzled by Freya’s inexplicable hostility toward Skylar.

He thought, ‘Could it be that we’ve neglected Freya lately, making her feel left out, which is why she’s been targeting Skylar?”

Carlos sighed heavily.

Harmony at home would bring prosperity. From now on, he decided to treat both daughters equally. If these two kept feuding, there would never be any peace in this house.

Skylar wasn’t particularly bothered by Freya badmouthing her. Ever since her first day back at the Lambert family, Freya had had it out for her. By now, she was used to it.

Skylar thought to herself, ‘Honestly, if Freya’s just badmouthing me behind my back now, that’s practically her being nice.

An awkward silence fell over the room as no one spoke for a moment.

Skylar broke the silence and said, “Dad, Mom, Brada has some matters to attend to. Let me see him out.”

Brada could sense the awkward tension in the room. Taking Skylar’s cue, he offered a polite farewell. “I should get back to work now. I’ll drop by again when I get the chance.”

After saying their goodbyes, Brada and Skylar walked out together.

Brada insisted, “Skylar, I swear I didn’t misunderstand. She was definitely badmouthing you just now.

“Please believe me, I wouldn’t make things up.“/

Skylar turned to him with a gentle smile. “I believe you.”

“Really?” Brada’s face lit up with relief. “As long as you believe me, that’s all that matters.”

Brada was naively sincere, and Skylar genuinely feared that Freya might take advantage of him and hurt him.

Skylar let out a soft sigh. “Brada, there’s a complicated history between Freya and me. I don’t want to drag you into this, so it’s better if you kern you.

distance from me for now.”

Brada’s smile vanished instantly. “Why?”
