“By the way, are you going to tell Liam? Let him know what his dear father tried to do,” Lily added.
Freya replied, “He’ll find out.”
Lily blinked. “What do you mean?”
Freya chuckled. “Guess why I asked you to make the call instead of doing it myself?”
Just as Freya had expected, the paparazzi have a sharper nose than official media. By that afternoon, news of Lily, the concerned citizen, reporting a drug den was all over the internet.
Lily’s fans praised her for being “upright and brave” and “smart and decisive.” Some even called her “the Sairo Branch of the community watch group.”
Lily’s popularity soared, all positive. Due to her fame, the story spread like wildfire online. By evening, an official statement was released.
It read, [Following an investigation, eight men, including David, were instructed to assault a specific woman and record the evidence in exchange for money for drug use.
[The police had placed these individuals in detention, and the case was pending further investigation.]
Under that post, tons of folks just checking out the drama kept commenting, [Who’s the mastermind?], [Instructed by whom?], [Is the girl okay?].
The official account skipped the first two questions and answered the last. [That girl did not show up and was not harmed. Please rest assured.]
Lily rolled her eyes. “Right next to your room, clearly targeting you. Even Liam isn’t dumb enough to miss who’s behind this.”
Freya scoffed. “So what? Joseph is still his father. Is he going to jail his dad for me?”
Lily rubbed her chin. “I guess not.”
‘That’s it. When it comes to choosing between parents and a woman, no matter what a man says, he’ll always choose his parents in the end, Freya thought.
But Freya didn’t blame him. Even at their most in love, if forced to choose between saving Liam or her parents from drowning, she’d have chosen her parents too.
But Freya never got that chance. Her father died miserably in prison, and her mother passed away from despair. She didn’t even have the right to make that choice.
Lily’s phone rang. She glanced at it and asked Freya, “It’s Liam. Answer it?”
“Go ahead. I want to hear what he has to say now,” Freya said.

Lily put it on speaker. Liam’s voice came through. “Lily, are you with Freya right now?”
“I’ve got you on speaker. Go ahead, Freya can hear you,” Lily said directly.

Liam took a deep breath, sounding exhausted. “Freya, I’m sorry. I didn’t know my parents would-”
Freya cut him off. “Mr. Grant, I’ve heard that line too many times. Save the useless crap.”
Liam was taken aback. He gave a bitter laugh and sighed. “I’ll probably be stuck in Haventon for a few days, I can’t come to you.
“But Ryan is there. I’ve asked him to look after you. Call him if you need anything.”
“Are you sure he’ll be willing to look after me?” Freya asked.
