Freya circled around the old mansion, unable to help but marvel at the grandeur and wealth of the Austin family.

With an area of tens of thousands of square meters, the design of the buildings and pavilions was exquisite, giving a sense of being in a royal palace.

Most importantly, the old mansion was backed by a mountain and faced a lake, surrounded by beautiful scenery with mountains and water. Living here was truly a luxury.

After strolling for nearly thirty minutes, Freya felt a tad fatigued and settled onto a nearby swing for a break.

A gentle breeze tousled her long, silky hair, while butterflies flitted among the blossoms, creating a picturesque setting.

James emerged not far off, silently observing her with a warm and graceful smile.

Over three years, she had matured significantly, exuding even more charm.

Just as he was about to approach, another figure hurriedly reached her first.

Freya glanced up at the newcomer, her expression indifferent as she coldly remarked, "What, do you think I was too lenient earlier and want another round?"

"Freya, you..." Lola seethed with anger, feeling as if her heart, liver, and lungs were all in pain. This audacious little minx was too arrogant.

"Who do you think you are? If you have nothing important to say, just leave and don't spoil the environment in front of me." Freya couldn't be bothered with her, so she swung her legs, causing the swing to sway.

As a child, she adored swinging on the swing, with her mother pushing her from behind. She always felt it wasn't high enough and kept asking to go higher.

There used to be a swing in the Lawson family's backyard, but ever since Lola and her mother arrived, they disliked it taking up space and simply moved it out, tossing it away.

Everything her mother gave her either ended up being claimed by Lola or thrown out as trash. Freya couldn't find a trace of her childhood in that house anymore.

Freya couldn't find a trace of her childhood in that house anymore.

Seeing her being ignored, Lola's eyes trembled with anger. "Freya, haven't you noticed that you've lost something?"

Only then did Freya look up at her. Lola held a wolf tooth whistle in her hand. Wasn't that her whistle?

Her heartbeat quickened, and she abruptly leaped off the swing, reaching out to grab it. "Lola, return that whistle to me."

"Return it to you?" Lola smirked victoriously. "If you're brave enough, come and take it yourself!"

With that, she dashed off quickly.

Freya watched as Lola disappeared into the distance and without a word, chased after her.

Ever since Arthur regained his sight, Freya had kept the whistle with her. She didn't know why, but this morning she felt compelled to wear it. Little did she expect it to fall off during the altercation with Lola just now.

This whistle held significant importance to her and must not be lost!

Observing the two figures running off into the distance, James was about to pursue them when his phone rang.

"Mr. James, urgent documents at the company require your personal signature. They've been sent to your office,"

The assistant's voice came from the phone.

James furrowed his brows, glancing at the disappearing figures. "Understood. I'll return to the company immediately."

He wasn't concerned about Freya's suffering. This girl was more capable than he had anticipated. If Lola provoked her, she wouldn't have a pleasant outcome!

Lola led Freya to the back mountain. Thanks to her height advantage, she excelled in physical education at school and ran swiftly.

Upon reaching the entrance of the back mountain, Lola tossed the wolf tooth whistle into the wilderness and taunted Freya.

"Do you dare to retrieve it yourself?"

Freya clenched her fists, giving her a cold stare. "I'll deal with you later!" With those words, she charged into the entrance of the back mountain.

At that moment, Lola signaled for a bodyguard to block the entrance.

"Let's see if you have the courage to come back and confront me!"

Lola clapped her hands triumphantly, sent a message to Ethan.

"The matter is settled."

After the message was sent successfully, she arrogantly departed, leaving the bodyguard stationed outside.

Meanwhile, Freya ventured into the back mountain to search for the wolf tooth whistle. Fortunately, it wasn't too far, and she quickly located it.

As she picked up the whistle, she heard noises coming from the entrance. Raising her eyebrows, she noticed the entrance she had just entered was now sealed off.

Seemed like another trap.

Hmm, interesting.

So, bringing her to the back mountain was to offer her as prey to wild beasts?

Freya fastened the wolf tooth whistle around her neck and intended to call Bradley, only to realize she had left her phone behind.

"Well, since I'm already here, I might as well pay a visit to an old friend!"

Freya chuckled and ascended the mountain.

Meanwhile…

Bradley and Mr. Austin had just finished discussing company matters.

Upon exiting, he inquired of Frederick, "Where's Freya?"

"Madam mentioned she wanted to take a stroll and has been out for more than an hour. She'll probably return soon."

Bradley nodded, intending to call Freya, but he heard her phone ringing nearby.

Tracking the sound, Bradley found her phone in the room.

How absent-minded!

She didn't even bring her phone with her when she left. Didn't she realize he would be worried if he couldn't locate her?

"Escort me to her."

Bradley maneuvered his wheelchair towards the elevator, and Frederick assisted him in pressing the button to descend to the garden.

…

Meanwhile, in the back mountain.

Upon her arrival, Freya unleashed herself and darted through the forest with swiftness.

This mountain, known as Titan Mountain, was the largest range in the entire Titania Kingdom, linking the two cities in the north of the capital.

On the opposite side of the mountain lay the village where Freya resided, named Luiville Village.

Luiville Village faced the southern sea and bordered Titan Mountain to the north. During her countryside days, Freya would climb this mountain daily to harvest grass for the pigs, forging many friendships over time.

Climbing a large tree, she blew the wolf tooth whistle.

Before long, the echo of wolf howls emanated from the distance, followed by the sound of galloping.

Observing from her elevated perch, Freya witnessed a white wolf leading a pack of gray wolves charging towards her.

The forest reverberated with the howls of wolves, reaching the ears of those within the old mansion as well.

Suddenly, Bradley caught wind of the wolf howls and signaled Frederick to halt. His gaze narrowed thoughtfully.

Frederick was also startled and said hurriedly, "Wolves come out at night, but there are wolves howling in broad daylight. It's so strange!"

"Quickly dispatch someone to locate Madam!"

Freya had left her phone behind, and he couldn't locate anyone in the garden. The distant howling of wolves added to his growing unease.

Frederick instinctively grasped his apprehension and promptly organized the guards to search for her.

Meanwhile…

Ethan and Lola engaged in their usual teasing.

Afterwards, Lola grinned triumphantly, "I've done so much for you, yet all you do is tease me. Is there any other reward for me?"

"What do you want?" Ethan pinched her. The sparks of affection still lingering in his eyes after the tenderness.
