Chapter 2014

The police rented a boat from a nearby fisherman to salvage the corpse ashore, brought forensics to
the scene for identification and evidence collection, and bagged the body. Edison fought through the
crowd and frowned.

“Has the identity of the body been confirmed?” The detective turned to look at him.

“It‘s Bear.” Edison was startled as the zipper of the body bag was slowly pulled down. That pale and
slightly swollen face was indeed Bear‘s. ‘Bear has really died.‘ del

The detective got up and said earnestly, “We‘ve only found the suspect‘s body so far, but we won‘t give
up on the search and rescue.”

Edison nodded and sent the text message to Colton.

As soon as Colton arrived at the company, he received a text message from Edison saying that Bear‘s
body had been recovered, but Nollace‘s whereabouts were still unknown. He placed the phone on the
desk, leaned back in the chair, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and muttered to himself, “He should still
be alive... right?”

‘He‘d better be still alive. Otherwise, I really don‘t know how to explain this clusterf*ck to Daisie.‘

At this time, he received a call from the nanny. The nanny told him that Freyja had answered a phone
call and had gone out.

Freyja came to the pier by car, and sure enough, she saw Deedee sitting alone on a bench.

“Deedee!” Freyja ran straight up to her and pulled her up.



“Are you hurt? Where have you been all night? Why didn‘t you return to the villa? Don‘t you know that
I‘m worried to death about you!?”

Deedee had actually run so far away by herself. If she had not taken the initiative to call her, she would
still be extremely worried that something bad had happened to her.

Deedee lowered her head and tightened the hands that were grasping the hem of her clothes.

” I don‘t want to go back...” Freyja took a deep breath and calmed her tone.

“Deedee, don‘t act up and be angry with me, okay? Now listen to me and come back with me.”

She took Deedee‘s hand, but Deedee broke her hand free and started crying.

“I said I don‘t want to go back! If I go back with you to that uncle, you won‘t want to keep me anymore,
so I don‘t want you to go back!” Freyja was stunned.

‘Did she overhear what I said the other night? Has what I said affected her this much?‘. Deedee had no
sense of security and lacked parental love since the day she was born. And Freyja was the only person
that she wanted to rely on.

The thought of sending her back to the Pruitts had undoubtedly made Deedee feel bad.

Freyja leaned over and placed her hand on her shoulder.
