Xavier frowned.

He was very familiar with Brady's body. It was impossible to experience mania for no reason at all. Something had to have gone wrong.

Just then, Shadow hurried inside and respectfully said, "Sir, I have sent men to look for Madam. I do not have any news on that yet, but I have the surveillance footage from the villa. Please take a look."

Shadow handed an ultra-thin tablet to Bradley.

On the screen was the scene of Juliet falling off the bed.

Bradley's slender fingers tapped on the keyboard as his eyes were fixed on the screen without blinking, unwilling to miss any detail.

Finally, the video paused at the moment when he suddenly became manic.

Bradley decided to play this segment at a slower speed.

After his episode, he hugged Freya. She was very scared and tightly held onto him, but in the end she used a silver needle to knock him out.

The following scene seemed to have been deliberately erased before finally jumping to the scene of Xavier rushing into the room.

"As you can see, the footage is incomplete. I have instructed someone to try their best to recover the lost data to see if it can be restored."

"Make a copy of the video for me. If you can't restore it, I know someone who can."

Bradley's voice was cold.

Perhaps he had doubts just now, but after watching the video, he let out a heavy sigh of relief.

The fact that the video had been tampered with proved that the missing segment contained important information.

Shadow quickly handed him the copied video. He held the USB drive tightly with a slightly trembling hand.

There was Poppy, the legend among hackers.

Tonight is the Cloudstone Corporation's celebration. Whether or not Cloudstone Corporation could secure a deal with the Austin Corporation depended entirely on Poppy.

As for Lance…

How dare he desire my woman! I won't spare him!

When Bradley thought of the scene where Lance held an umbrella for Freya, he was so jealous that his eyes turned red.

She refused to even visit him. Was it so that she could meet Lance?

Why?

Was it because Lance helped her out once? Was she grateful toward him?

It felt like there was a huge boulder weighing down on Bradley's heart, making it difficult to breathe.

He even felt unusually restless with a burning jealousy that made him feel like he was about to explode.

He uncontrollably pulled out the needle from the back of his hand and was about to get out of bed. His eyes had turned red like a furious beast.

"Bradley, what's wrong with you?" Xavier noticed that something was off with him and stared at him.

Bradley clutched at his hair, unable to control his emotions.

He did not know what was wrong with himself.

He just felt emotions surging in him, even overwhelming his sense of control.

His pupils were tinged with a hint of bloodthirsty aggression as he clutched his head and moaned in pain.

Xavier had never seen Bradley like this. It was far more terrifying than Bradley's previous migraines.

Before Bradley lost control, he had Shadow restrain him and inject him with a sedative.

The man who was as large as a mountain fell unconscious on the hospital bed, but his handsome face was covered in a sheen of sweat.

"Shadow, take care of him. I'm off to the labs."

Bradley's condition was too strange. He remembered after Freya's acupuncture treatments, Bradley's headaches had significantly lessened.

However, he looked crazy today with completely bloodshot eyes and veins bulging all over his body. He looked like a wild and unruly beast.

Everything was so off that he needed to confirm if there was something wrong with his blood sample as soon as possible.

…

When Freya woke up, it was already in the afternoon.

Her head felt heavy, and her entire body felt weak.

She turned to Ella, who was nearby, and asked, "What time is it now?"

"3:00 p.m."

Upon hearing that, she struggled to get out of bed. Then, she patted her foggy head and said with dead eyes, "I'm going to the hospital. Will you take me there?"

She still did not want to believe that Bradley would betray her.

She wanted to hear his explanation. If he told her that nothing had happened, she would still accompany him to the banquet in the evening.

However, if what Juliet said was true, then she had decided she would give up on him and... divorce him.

"Freya, some things cannot be judged by appearances alone. Sometimes, appearances can be deceiving. Still, the heart does not lie. Although I don't know what happened between you and Bradley, I believe his heart is true."

"Ella." Freya's eyes were filled with tears as she said in a choked voice, "H-He seems to have done it with another woman."

"What?" Ella was shocked.

Freya told her everything that had happened recently in detail.

First, it was the appearance of Juliet, then Juliet's pregnancy, and then Juliet's tearful accusations of Bradley and his actions toward Juliet.

Freya poured out her heart, and by the end, she was mentally dazed.

Ella tenderly hugged her and comforted her, saying, "I'll go with you to confront him and get to the bottom of this. If he really did betray you, no matter what his reasons are, it's unforgivable."

"I will divorce him and completely cut ties with him!"

"Can you really... let go?"

Ella could see clearly that Freya had already fallen for Bradley. She had fallen so in love with him that she was even prepared to be with him for the rest of her life.

The mention of divorce at this moment would surely hurt him, as well as herself.

"If he can't fully belong to me, what more do I want from him? He has already done it with Juliet, and that woman will stop at nothing to hold onto him, especially considering Bradley owes her one. Out of a sense of duty, he cannot possibly abandon her."

Freya tightly clenched her fists and raised her head to force back the tears in her eyes.

"I don't want to follow in my mother's footsteps. Bradley was never part of my plans. The whole thing between us is just a farce. Now that I've avenged my mother and reclaimed her company, I have no other ties here."

She had already prepared for the worst, intending to transfer Lawson Group overseas and to leave this land of heartbreak for good.

There were too many secrets about Bradley that she did not know.

Despite having been together for so long, she could count the number of times she had entered his study on one hand.

She did not know what secrets were hidden in the study, nor did she know what plans he made in the hours he spent in there.

Even the people around him were shrouded in mystery.

It seemed that everyone was afraid of him yet resected him. Whether it was Patrick or Xavier, they would obey his orders without question.

Even Sigelac followed his commands.

The strangest thing was Shadow, his bodyguard who moved in eerie ways and at extremely fast speed. He was seemingly different from the usual bodyguard.

Freya knew that Bradley had an earth-shattering secret, and he had his reasons for not telling her.

At first, she had thought things through and decided to turn a blind eye to it.

However, Juliet's presence gave her a sense of danger.

Juliet was not a simple woman.

Freya even had a feeling that Juliet was not just Bradley's savior.
