Chapter 149 The Returned Pendant

Freya abruptly lifted her gaze to meet his.

She held Sawyer's gaze for a prolonged moment before he finally murmured, "I appreciate the compliment."

Sawyer erupted into laughter, his mirth quickly replaced by a solemn expression as he turned his attention back to Freya.

"My elder brother has confined our mother to the East Saeville Nursing Home, and I'm left with no choice but to be under his control in Saeville. Nathaniel ensnared my father in a trap. My father's demise is directly linked to him."

"My elder brother traded you to Nathaniel for half of East Saeville, you despise him too, don't you?"

"Somewhat," Freya responded icily.

Sawyer's smile returned, a pang of regret suddenly hitting him for no apparent reason. It was a shame that such a beautiful woman had to endure such a fate.

In his efforts to get closer to Freya, he had gathered a wealth of information about her. It was said that before the Gomez family's downfall, she was a vibrant and humorous woman. Her smile was a constant companion, regardless of who she was with.

She had lived a life of joy for the past twenty years, a joy so profound it seemed to have exhausted her ifetime's quota of happiness.

What do you expect me to do," Freya asked with a bitter smile, "What can I possibly do?"

Sawyer fixed his gaze on Freya, "You provide the inside information on the Technologent Group, and in eturn, I'll share the Lloyd family's secrets with you."

'reya's brow furrowed deeply, "Mr. Lloyd Jr., stealing a company's inside information is a crime. If the ffense is severe, it could lead to a life sentence, do you comprehend that?"

Moreover, if you bring Nathaniel down, the Lloyd family will be the only ones to benefit, not you."

awyer's smile didn't waver, his eyes glinting coldly, "As long as what Nathaniel possesses ends up with me, ne Lloyd family will inevitably fall into my hands."

reya chuckled lightly, "A swindle with nothing to offer?"

awyer grinned, "It's understandable that you'd think that way, but once the task is accomplished, you can build the Gomez family's Omnilert Group. We'll sign a contract at the notary's office, and the finances ill be split equally."

so... You might want to take a look at this," Sawyer produced a USB flash drive, "I believe you'll replace its ontents intriguing. Take a look, then decide whether you want to collaborate with me."

emember, before Nathaniel crossed paths with you, his past was meticulously erased, but his misdeeds ere too numerous to be completely wiped away."

espite his legitimate business dealings in recent years, the discovery of certain secrets could spell

disregarded humanity in Sacville and imprisoned you to torment you, he's still human. Not a god."

"Being human, he has vulnerabilities. His past isn't clean, and he fears exposure. Just take a look at what's inside, and you'll understand."

Freya clutched the USB flash drive, slowly rising to her feet to face the young man before her, "He harbors resentment towards our Gomez family. How could he willingly divulge such a crucial secret to me? It's even more improbable for me to obtain the core information."

"You place too much trust in me, I fear I might let you down."

Sawyer smiled, "Freya, aren't you aware that everyone in Saeville knows Nathaniel is madly in love with you, and you're the only one playing ignorant."

Freya's expression shifted, she took a deep breath, gripping the USB flash drive tightly.

She felt it was time to leave. Besides, Nathaniel's men had probably already reported to him that they had lost track of her today.

She was well aware of Nathaniel's ruthless methods, which were truly terrifying.

Just as Freya was about to depart, Sawyer halted her once more. His slender fingers held a rather unremarkable cord. The cord was frayed, and a glass pendant dangled from it.

This trinket appeared cheap, reminiscent of a school kid's aesthetic.

The glass pendant was fashioned into a skull, and the cord was a worn leather one.

Freya was genuinely taken aback when she saw this item. She had assumed it was lost, but surprisingly, it was in Sawyer's possession.

"It fell out of your pocket back then," Sawyer explained with a smile, "I was preoccupied with rescuing you at the time, and planned to return it to you later, but it slipped my mind."
