In the evening.
Freya, who had been occupied with work the whole day, just stepped into the dining room of The Lodge when she heard Nathan losing his temper. "I've long since told you t o keep an eye on him. And now, great. Look at all the trouble he has been causing me every day.
"Does he think that the Snow family hasn't been humiliated enough in Canberra?
"He's in his 30s. Yet, he was still fooled by a woman. If I were him, I would’ve gotten a rope and hung myself.
"He has the audacity to act so unscrupulously just because he's related to the Snow family, huh?
"If you can't keep an eye on him, I'll do it."
Freya took a glimpse at Nathan, who was o n the phone. He looked furious.
The last time Nathan was so furious was when he learned of Ryan’s scandal with another man.
She turned her gaze to Ryan, who was beside her. To her surprise, he had no overtime work today and was back for dinner.
She walked toward him in fear and found a chair to sit on before mouthing at Ryan." Who provoked your dad?"
Ryan's handsome brows raised with astonishment. "Don't you know yet?'
Coincidentally, Nathan hung up and slammed his phone on the dining table in a bad temper. "That b*stard has made me lose my appetite."
"Well, isn't it good that he has finally learned the truth?" Heidi said indifferently, "Everyone else has seen through Sarah except him, so this isn't bad. If he didn't experience this, he might believe what Sarah says when she fools him next time.’
Sarah...
Freya's eyes lit up. She recalled Catherine saying that the fish was about to take the bait and that they were about to make a move. Could that be...
The gossiper in her was burning with curiosity. She directly tugged at Ryan's shirt under the table without caring too much.
Feeling speechless, Ryan gave a light cough. "I thought you knew."
Why was she not there to watch it secretly?
How could have she missed it?
"Ahem. Anyhow, Rodney and the reporters were eventually taken away by the police. Later, after Uncle Jason bailed Rodney out, Rodney went to the villa and beat Sarah up brutally. Sarah was beaten unconscious and sent to the hospital. Luckily, my dad had someone suppress the incident.
Otherwise, the consequences will be grave."
Toward the end of his sentence, Ryan's expression was solemn.
"Beat her up brutally?" Freya gasped." Sarah is his darling. How could he bring himself to beat her up brutally?"
Ryan pursed his thin lips.
Heidi said helplessly, “When Rodney discussed the divorce with Sarah, he even borrowed 50 million dollars from his dad, saying that Sarah agreed to get a divorce if she was given 80 million dollars. In truth, Rodney lied to his dad. He forked out 100 million dollars to divorce Sarah of his own accord and even compensated her with the villa and mansion in Canberra and the States. He wanted her to pay him back, but she refused to do it."
