Bradley remained silent, continuing to step forward.

Freya, unwilling to give up, suddenly kissed his neck and said, "Honey~"

The man remained expressionless.

At this moment, his mind was filled with thoughts of the assassination attempt. This was his territory, yet someone dared to target Freya right under his nose. This made him suspect if those people were behind it.

"Bradley, Leonard, Honey... Dear." Ignored by him, Freya tried to act cute.

Even she felt a chill down her spine, but the man remained aloof, clearly not taking her words to heart.

"Bradley!" Freya finally got annoyed, glaring at him with puffed cheeks.

Only at this moment did Bradley come back to his senses, gazing deeply at her for a long time.

"Freya, how did you lure those people out?"

Upon hearing this, Freya furrowed her brows and said, "I had just left the store when those people started following me. Do you know who they are?"

Bradley shook his head, "I don't know yet, but Lance has already sent someone to investigate. I believe we will receive news soon."

Freya nodded in agreement and then shifted the conversation to the matter of the laboratory, "Let's not talk about that for now. Will you agree to the laboratory?"

She had used her wit to play a game of cat and mouse with him. But instead of getting his compromise, she had inadvertently invited trouble. This matter was indeed very strange.

Freya felt that it was time to look into it more deeply.

"Let's go home first and talk there. It's not safe here," Bradley said as he carried Freya to the car, then walked around to the other side to open the door and get in.

...

Back at the palace, Freya immediately called The White Fox to investigate the assassination attempt near the market today.

This matter seemed simple on the surface, but she had a vague premonition that the other party had planned it in advance.

At the same time, in the study.

Bradley also contacted Lucas for the first time to understand the recent situation in the southern country.

"During this time, a group of foreign nationals, to be precise, a group of women, arrived in the southern country."

Lucas explained the situation to him, and the more he heard, the more grim Bradley's face became.

"Do you suspect that these people are behind this?"

In fact, Lucas had suspicions before, but since the appearance of these people, there have been frequent riots in the southern country. That is why he urgently asked Bradley to return to inherit the throne and stabilize the situation.

Unexpectedly, even after Bradley returned, these people still behaved recklessly and dared to target Freya.

"Freya said that she was targeted after leaving the brand store, and at that time a group of wealthy ladies happened to be in the store. I had the Blue Book investigate the store's surveillance and found that these wealthy ladies were accompanied by many bodyguards."

Bradley, being so vigilant, immediately had the Blue Book handle the matter after the assassination attempt.

Moreover, this time they captured many live suspects, and extracted a lot of information from the bodyguards. They were hired by a wealthy lady to help her assassinate the owner of the Julia store.

This makes people feel incredible. Not only does the other party know Freya's whereabouts, but also knows that she is the founder of the Julia brand, and now even attempts to assassinate her at her doorstep. What is the background of the other party? "Shaotang, start investigating the origins of these people as soon as possible," Bradley had a hunch that if the other party failed once, they would act a second and third time. This time Freya managed to escape by a narrow margin, but who knows if she will be so lucky next time. "Don't worry, leave this matter to me," Lucas said. After hanging up the phone, Bradley sat on the genuine leather chair, tapping the desk with his slender fingers, considering countless possibilities in his mind, all of which he ultimately rejected. Although Freya's enemies were supposed to be mostly dealt with, why are there still people foolishly attempting to assassinate her in the southern country? The more Bradley delved into it, the more he felt something was amiss. According to Lucas, these people appeared several months ago, and since then there have been frequent riots in the southern country.

This made Bradley have to doubt that the other party created these disturbances, all for the purpose of luring the two of them back to the country.

In this case, it really is a well-planned strategy.

Bradley sat for a moment, got up and left his seat, walking towards the dungeon.

After Freya instructed White Fox to investigate the assassination incident, she immediately brought out the computer, directly infiltrating the surveillance network of Julia's store.

Pulling up the surveillance video from the time when she had the accident, Freya discovered many problems.

As soon as she appeared, unidentified men inexplicably appeared around the store, followed by a group of noble women.

Freya temporarily paused the video, enlarged the faces of several noble women, all of them were unfamiliar faces, but she clearly saw a tattoo of a spider lily on the neck of ying of the noble women.

The spider lily is a flower species revered as a sacred item in the Holy Rock Kingdom.

If Freya remembers correctly, women of the royal family in the Holy Rock Kingdom will have spider lilies tattooed on them.

However, the positions of the tattoos are different depending on the rank, and the colors are also distinct.

Master, as the queen of the Holy Rock Kingdom, the amaryllis is embroidered on the back of the neck, symbolizing royal authority with its golden petals. In the video, the noblewoman has embroidery on her neck with black petals, indicating that she is just a common guard. Why would people from the Holy Rock Kingdom appear in the Southern Territory? And why would someone role-play as a noblewoman and go to Julia's store to spend money? Freya speculates on these questions in her mind but cannot figure out the motives of these individuals. The more she thinks about it, the more her head hurts, so she decides to give up and let her brain rest for a while. Suddenly, there is a commotion outside, and Freya hears a familiar voice. She gets up from the bed and walks out of the room. Standing on the second-floor balcony, she sees a small figure playing with Freya on the crib. "Matthew!" Freya calls out with a smile. Matthew looks up, sees Freya, and excitedly exclaims, "Mommy," then rushes up the stairs like a bird about to take flight.

Freya opened her arms and embraced Matthew happily, planting a kiss on his rosy little face. "Our little boy is growing taller and more handsome," she exclaimed.

In response to his mother's praise, Matthew grinned widely. "Mommy is getting more and more beautiful too," he replied.

Well, it's worth all the trouble. So sweet!

Freya ruffled Matthew's soft hair, then carried him downstairs. "Tell mommy, is school fun?" she asked.

Initially, it was Freya's strong insistence that convinced Bradley to allow Matthew to attend school. She had thought the child might have trouble adjusting, but instead, his personality had blossomed even more after starting school.
