“Are you cursing at me?” The dean’s son wanted to erupt in anger, but due to the vast disparity in power, he could only lower his voice. “You better leave, or I’ll call the police.”
Eagle wanted to say something, but Freya stopped him.
Let’s not escalate this any further.
She came to reconcile, not to start a conflict.
“He didn’t do it on purpose. Don’t get agitated. Let me explain to you what happened at that time…”
“What happened at that time is that without my consent, you used an artificial heart still in the experimental stage on my father, causing him to be lying in the ICU, on the brink of death. What do you have to say for yourself?” The dean’s son fumed. “You say you want to save my father? Have you saved him?!”
Freya was at a loss for words.
Indeed!
She wanted to save a life.
But she hadn’t managed to save him.
Even though he’s not dead yet, he might die later!
She looked at the dean’s son. “I did my best to save…”
“I won’t listen!” The dean’s son waved his hand. “Get out, or I’ll have the security guards in the compound kick you out!”
Freya, seeing his stubbornness, knew she couldn’t reason with him and had to leave with Eagle.
Eagle asked, “Why is he being so unreasonable?”
Freya sighed, “Everyone loses their cool when it comes to their loved ones. We can’t blame him; it’s only human nature.”
Eagle fell silent and didn’t speak.
As they left the compound, Freya stood at the gate, feeling a bit lost.
Eagle seemed to sense her dilemma and suggested, “Why don’t we tell Mr. Silverton?”
Freya turned to look at him.
Just stared, not saying a word.
Eagle felt anxious in his heart, “Did I say something wrong?”
Freya said, “No.”
In the current situation, she could only turn to Elijah for help!
Even if she wanted to keep it a secret, she couldn’t, as she had already been sued by others.
She sarcastically remarked, “Isn’t it a rule that when you receive a court summons, you have to submit a defense within fifteen days? Shouldn’t I go back and prepare for it now?”
Eagle listened quietly without saying a word.
Freya raised her foot. “Let’s go.”
Eagle stepped forward, opened the car door, and helped her inside.
As the car started and drove off, Freya didn’t say where they were headed. Eagle looked at her through the rearview mirror, tentatively asking, “Are we going home?”
Freya replied, “No, we’re going to the company.”
The company should have legal counsel.
She needed to consult with a lawyer!
If it comes to a lawsuit, she would have to ask Elijah to help her find a reliable lawyer.
Eagle drove to the company.
Because Elijah had introduced Freya’s identity in the company before.
So this time, everyone treated her with respect.
She wasn’t stopped at the front desk and went directly to the elevator and found Elijah’s office. She knocked on the door.
No one answered.
The secretary walked over and said, “Madam, Mr. Silverton is not in.”
Freya asked, “Where did he go?”
“It’s not work-related, so I’m not sure.” the secretary replied.
Freya frowned slightly.
If it’s not work-related, where did he go?
She took out her phone and tried to call him.
The line was busy.
She couldn’t get through.
She found it strange and casually told the secretary, “I understand.”
After that, she walked towards the elevator.
As the elevator was going up, she waited.
With a “ding,” the elevator arrived on the floor. Just as Freya was about to step in, she saw Evan coming down. She retracted her step. “Evan, do you know where Elijah went?”
Evan shook his head. “I don’t know. Isn’t he in the office?”
Freya was surprised.
Even he didn’t know where Elijah was?!
