In the car.

Bradley held Freya and slapped her bottom once more.

"Ouch! It hurts!"

Freya whispered.

"You know it hurts, but still don't know how to behave. If I hadn't come in time today, what were you going to do?"

The man's voice was filled with anger.

When Shadow One came to report that she had gone alone to Selena's studio, he immediately anticipated that something big was happening.

Selena was attached to the Logan family and Lucy's exclusive designer. Lucy would surely be alerted to Freya's antics.

He was worried about her safety, so he put aside his work and hurried over as soon as possible.

When he saw the many guns pointed at her, he panicked and worried that she would be hurt even a little bit.

"If you hadn't shown up, I would have escaped long ago," Freya muttered discontentedly.

Just thinking about the way Lucy looked at him made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Alright, I know you're capable and don't need me to protect you," the man sighed helplessly.

He suddenly missed the Freya from the capital. At least, she would still rely on him.

Now, with her different identities, she was completely out of his control. He suddenly felt a sense of frustration at not being needed.

Freya sat on his lap and hugged his neck. "Honestly, how did you know I came to Selena's studio? Did you send someone to track me again?"

"No."

"Then what about Shadow One. How did she appear so timely?"

"I saw the news. Julia's store was closed off. I knew you were too stubborn to swallow this insult, and would go after Selena to vent, so I had her protect you."

Upon hearing that, her heart warmed.

Clearly, he was so busy, yet he always cared for her.

How fortunate she was to marry such a good husband.

"By the way, honey, you have revealed your identity. I'm worried that the Logan family will go after you." Freya was happy, but still had some concerns.

After all, Bradley had never shown his true face.

Although the Logan family knew where Leonard lived, no one had seen his true appearance.

Leonard's identity was all a disguise.

However, he had now revealed his true face in front of Lucy, and soon Leonard's appearance would reach the ears of the Logan brothers.

This would surely bring a lot of trouble.

"Don't worry, they can't do anything to me." Bradley pinched her cheek and said in a deep voice, "It's actually you. What is your relationship with Julia that you are willing to break ties with Selena for her brand?"

"Just like Ella, we are sisters."

Freya dodged the question with a guilty look.

She could not possibly tell him that Julia was actually her.

Bradley smiled helplessly. He could tell at a glance that she was obviously hiding something.

However, he did not ask further because he believed that she had her reasons for not wanting to be honest.

When she was ready to speak, she would naturally tell him herself.

"Honey, I'm hungry."

Freya clung to him, acting cute.

The man smiled. "Alright, let's go eat now."

…

In the afternoon.

Freya received a subpoena from the court, accusing her of using unethical fabric to harm consumer rights. Apparently, they had evidence.

She immediately called White Fox.

"I told you to withdraw the lawsuit. Why did the subpoena come?" Freya asked.

White Fox was also confused. "Boss, I have no idea. When I went to court to withdraw the case, it had not been processed yet. There was no need to withdraw."

"If it wasn't you, then who was it?" Freya inquired.

"Someone must be targeting you. How many people have you offended, boss?" White Fox replied.

"Too many... I can't even count on my fingers. There's Selena, the King, the Duke, the Princess..."

"Wow, Boss, you've only provoked big shots!"

"Don't waste time and go investigate who did it."

This was originally a play she directed and performed herself. White Fox withdrew the lawsuit, and someone else filed an appeal right after. It did not seem quite normal upon careful consideration.

Who could it be?

Selena?

Lucy?

No, those two had no need to take matters into their own hands. After all, if they were to step forward at this time, the spotlight would inevitably shift to them.

They would not be so foolish as to jump into the fire pit at this moment.

Ten minutes later, news came from White Fox.

"Boss, we have investigated it thoroughly. It is a lawsuit filed by the Deputy Director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. He found toxic substances on your clothes and presented the evidence to the court."

The Industrial and Commercial Bureau?

The Deputy Director who closed her shop?

Freya rubbed her forehead and said, "If the Industrial and Commercial Bureau gets involved, things will become more complicated."

"What do you mean?"

"Julia herself needs to appear. After all, she is the party involved."

"True, Julia is the boss. How do you plan to handle this? Are you really going to court as Julia?" White Fox was not afraid of the magnitude of the situation and smirked.

"No, no, no. Julia is you."

Freya smiled. Of course, she could not appear in person. Since no one had ever seen Julia in person, they could simply find someone to impersonate her.

"What do you mean, Boss? Do you want me to pretend to be you?"

"Ella said she wants me to send you to the entertainment industry. This is a good opportunity to improve your acting skills with a different identity. It's killing two birds with one stone."

"Don't do this, boss..."

The Dark Master's Office.

The man leaned back in his chair with his brows furrowed deeply in thought.

At that moment, the door was gently pushed open from the outside.

"Master, Mr. Clark has fulfilled your request and brought Julia to court. The court summons has been delivered to Madam's hands."

The man pinched his aching brows and asked in a deep voice, "Any news from Madam?"

"Madam has been inside the villa all afternoon and has not left. However, our surveillance cameras detected that she made several phone calls, likely contacting someone to handle this matter."

"I need to know if Julia herself will show up!"

"As far as I know, Julia has been living abroad for a long time. The numbers the lady contacted today are limited to signals in Solterra, not overseas."

Upon hearing that, the man's brow furrowed even deeper.

The reason he had let Mr. Clark continue to be manipulated by Lucy and Selena was to harshly punish those two women.

Of course, the most important reason was that he needed to verify Julia's identity.

He wanted to know if she was who he thought she was.

"You keep an eye on Madam. I need to know for sure if she has been in contact with Julia, and if Julia herself will show up in court."

"I will go and handle it immediately."

As Shadow One turned to leave, he called out to her again.

"By the way, have you got the results from the investigation I asked you to do last time?"

While Selena and Lucy were the troublemakers behind the scenes when it came to this incident with Julia's shop, they were not the ones who sent the people to cause a ruckus.

In other words, there were others who want to harm them.

He would not have mercy on anyone who could potentially cause trouble for her.

"According to the investigation I conducted, the troublemakers were indeed not sent by Lucy and the others. They initially took Julia's store to court, but just before Mr. Clark took action, they suddenly withdrew the application. I have been following this matter closely, but have not found any results yet."

The man frowned slightly and said, "Continue the investigation. I want to know who is instructing them!"

"Yes."
