Chapter 237
Skylar arched an eyebrow, her voice laced with icy amusement. “Freya, today’s matter has nothing to do with Brada or me, but everything to do with you.”
Skylar shot Freya a pointed look. “Not even a bit surprised to see Jade here?”
“Why would I be surprised?” Freya maintained her composure. “The real exactly are you trying to pull, Skylar?”
Her tone was laced with feigned innocence.

you should recognize this number, shouldn’t you?”
Freya’s fingers dug into her thighs as she snapped, “That’s not my number. How should I know anything about it?”
Carlos’s face darkened as he finished reading. “Skylar, are you absolutely certain about this evidence?”
“Absolutely certain,” Skylar said firmly, “I uncovered all this myself.”
Carlos slammed the printed papers onto the coffee table with a loud thud. His eyes blazing with fury, he glared at Freya and shouted, “Freya!
“After raising you for over twenty years, I never imagined my ‘perfect daughter‘ would side with outsiders and turn against her own sister!
“Freya, why on earth did you do this?”
Freya’s entire body trembled as crocodile tears instantly welled up, streaming down her cheeks in dramatic rivulets. “Daddy, what on earth are you talking about? I truly don’t understand,” she sobbed theatrically.
Freya was still putting up a stubborn front, refusing to admit anything
“Still trying to deny it?” Carlos slammed his fist onto the stack of printed documents, the violent impact making the coffee table shudder dangerously. “The evidence is irrefutable, read it for yourself!”
Freya’s hands trembled as she flipped through the stack of printed papers, shaking her head vehemently. “Daddy, you know me. How could I possibly conspire with outsiders to harm my own sister?”
Carlos remained unmoved.
With a heavy thud, Freya suddenly dropped to her knees, her voice trembling as she pleaded, “Daddy, I really didn’t do it! You have to believe me!”

“Unless Skylar can show some concrete proof, I won’t admit to anything. All she’s got is a location ping. Seriously, what does that even prove?
“I’m innocent! This is so unfair!”
Seeing that Freya stubbornly refused to admit defeat until the bitter end, Skylar coldly demanded, “Hand over your phone.”
Freya had learned her lesson this time. After each message exchange with Jade, she would remove the SIM card, only reinserting it when she needed to contact her again.

Her phone didn’t have that SIM card now, the one she used to contact Jade had already been removed.
Freya jutted her chin defiantly, putting on her most innocent expression. “I’m innocent, nothing to hide. Check all you want, Skylar With that, the thrust a her phone toward Skylar.
Freya said, “Skylar, if you can’t find any evidence, then you’re clearly just trying to frame me. I don’t know why you’d do this to me, but honestly, it truly breaks my heart.”
