MainNovelChapter 638:
After one final glance at her, he turned and left with the man, the basement door swinging shut behind them.
The sound echoed, heavy and jarring.
Not long after, Ashley burst in, her face written with alarm. “Why did you lock Freya in the basement?”
“You feeling sorry for her?” Brendan lifted her chin with cold amusement. Ashley froze.

glass aside. “Did K follow?”
“I have no idea.” Natasha dropped herself onto the couch without ceremony.
Brendan raised an eyebrow. “You don’t know?”
“Her whereabouts aren't something | can track.” She poured herself a glass of water. “I still haven't cracked the
virus she buried in my computer and server last time.”
A shadow passed through Brendan's expression, his brows drawing in faintly.
