She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 655:

She had once sold a highly secure phone system to five individuals.

Could Kristian be connected to one of them?

“Are you certain the person he contacted isn’t K?” Brendan pressed.

“Positive,” Natasha replied without hesitation. “If it were my mentor, she’d likely communicate through text.”

“Look into everyone she sold that system to. Find out who they are,” Brendan ordered at once. “When you’ve got names, give them to me.”

Natasha was speechless.

Brendan arched a brow. “Why aren’t you searching?”

“I can’t dig up anything about my mentor,” Natasha answered candidly. “No one can trace her transactions.”noveldrama

Brendan regarded her silently, swirling the wine in his glass. After a while, he seemed to accept it.

“If we can’t find her, then so be it. Once we get to Sweet Island, whether she shows up or not won’t change anything.” By then, his attention would be focused on executing his plan.

Even if K did appear, she wouldn’t be able to stop him.

“Natasha.” Brendan set down his glass. “Come with me for a moment.”

Natasha stood and followed him out to the deck. She leaned on the railing, letting the wind clear her mind, and asked, “Why did you bring me here?”

“When we get to Sweet Island, take a yacht and leave,” Brendan said, eyes fixed on the open sea. No one could guess what he was truly thinking. “I’ve already arranged everything. Whatever happens next won’t concern you.”

“Can I take Freya with me?”

“No, you can’t.”

“Alright.” Natasha didn’t argue or press him further. That was exactly why Brendan had kept her around all this time.

Ashley stood at a distance, watching them near the edge of the ship, biting her lower lip. Finally, she managed to get Freya alone for a moment.

“Freya… I’m sorry.”

“You did well,” Freya murmured, just loud enough for her to hear. Even in that kind of situation, Ashley had still thought of her. That was rare.

Ashley’s eyes went red instantly. She was afraid Brendan might set his sights on Freya and eventually uncover who she really was.

“If things get dangerous, don’t worry about me. Just go,” Freya instructed quietly. She didn’t know what she was walking into, but she wouldn’t let Ashley get caught in it.

“What about you?” Ashley asked.

“I’ve got someone who’ll help,” Freya assured her.

Ashley still felt uneasy but knew better than to argue.

Freya had already thought about taking Brendan down right here on the ship and forcing his crew to reroute toward her friends. It would be clean and efficient.

But then she thought of Brendan’s nature.

He’d sooner blow up the ship than let anyone foil his plans.

Time dragged its feet and flew all at once, thick with a tension that clung like fog—an uneasy anticipation that refused to lift.

While they were still at sea, Brendan made a call to Kristian, instructing him to head somewhere discreet, where someone would guide him to Freya.
