Chapter 1831

The man leading the group of three took a puff on a cigarette, and his gaze landed on the room‘s door
across the hallway. He did not see any light shining through the seams, making it obvious that no one
was there.

He snuffed out the cigarette. “Keep an eye on this whole floor for me and wait for them to come back.
Remember, grab the woman first.”

When the footsteps went further away, Freyja‘s clothes were. already soaked in a cold sweat. She then
realized Colton‘s hand was still covering her mouth, so she gently pushed it off her face.

Colton regained his senses and retracted his hand.

Freyja leaned against the door and sneered. “Do you believe me now?”

Colton did not utter anything. He caught a glimpse of her lacerated palm and grabbed her wrist.

She pulled her hand away instantly. “What are you doing?”

He stared at her. “Your acting skills are just so–so.”

Freyja scoffed. “Didn‘t you just say that my acting skills are so fabulous that I even managed to trick your
brother, and you‘re now saying that my acting skills are poor?” “Why did you buy that thing?”

“What?”

Seeing that his gaze was fixed on the bag she had brought back, Freyja finally came back to her senses
and reacted, then turned her face away and gnashed her teeth. “I grabbed it by mistake.”

‘I grabbed it in such a tense situation, so how would I have the time to focus on what I took?‘



“Grabbed it by mistake?” Colton scoffed and approached her. “I think you‘re just trying to cover your
actions with a lie.”

Freyja pushed him away and went to pack her luggage. “If you have the time to mock me, you might as
well think about how we can get out of this room.”

There were no lights in the room, and the interior dimmed gradually as the sun set and the sky
darkened.

The weather was hot, and the air conditioner was not turned on, so the whole room felt extremely stuffy.

Colton opened the French window, and the sea breeze blew in through the window and made them feel
a little better.

Freyja sat on the couch and could only munch on the snacks she had bought to fill her stomach.

Hearing the crunching voice that was coming from behind him, Colton was a little irritated. He turned his
head and was about to say something when he remembered that he was the one who had thrown her
dinner away.

However, he could not help but think that those people would have found and caught her when they
came back just now if he had not come after her and asked her for an explanation.

“How are things on Nollace‘s side?” he asked her.

Freyja raised her head. “I don‘t know yet. Maybe he’s also trying to figure things out. But no matter
whether they‘re the ones who come back or we‘re to go out, we‘ll be discovered.”

After saying that, she sighed and could not help but complain,” It‘s really bad to encounter this kind of
situation during a vacation, but it‘s even worse to have to stay with someone.”

Colton‘s gaze dimmed. “What did you just say?”



Freyja shrugged and ate a biscuit. “It‘s nothing.”

At that moment, in a hotel near their resort...

Nollace stood in front of the French window and called Edison. Edison told him something, and his
expression turned gloomy in an instant. “Are you sure it‘s him?”

Edison replied, “I‘m sure. He‘s someone who works for Donald, but he colluded with Ken secretly long
ago.

“Otherwise, Ken wouldn‘t have found that you had secret dealings with Donald and chosen to kill Mr.
Reese in order to sow discord between the both of you.”

Nollace did not say a single word.

‘I was still wondering why Ken would have the guts to frame Donald through Jonah‘s death so that
Donald would think that I was the one who challenged him. Everything makes sense now. It‘s because
Ken had placed a spy right next to Donald.

‘However, even up until the moment he died, I don‘t think Ken would‘ve thought that his men would also
be interested in Jonah Reese‘s inheritance.‘

“You‘re to arrange for a group of people to come over and be on standby secretly. It‘s known that they‘ve
sent three men here. I don‘t know if others will be waiting around for a chance to ambush us.”

After Nollace finished speaking, he gave off a gloomy smirk. “By the way, deliver my words to Mr.
Matthews too. I believe that he‘s a pro when it comes to picking out moles.”

He then hung up the call and turned around.



Seeing the figure hiding outside the door, he placed his cell phone on the desk and chuckled. “Someone
was found out when she stole a glance the other day, and she‘s been discovered again while
eavesdropping this time. You‘ve not grown at all, huh?”
