She Took The House The Car And My Heart novel Chapter 112

Chapter 112 Giving Ashley

A Chance

Before the man could plead, an intense pain shot through him, making him scream.

He fainted from the agony.

The man wearing the khaki coat turned ghostly pale, instinctively lifting his hands to shield himself.

That last hit had definitely destroyed his companion, and he couldn’t afford to share the same fate.

“I know I messed up. I swear I won’t do it again. Just let me go,” he begged in utter terror, ready to agree to anything.

“How many women have you hurt?” Freya asked in a cold tone.

Terrified of more harm, the man falsely claimed, “It was all just talk; we never actually did anything. This is the first time.”

“If you don’t confess the truth, then I’ll have to- Freya began.

I’ll speak! Please, I’ll tell you everything!” he cut in, his forehead slick with sweat.

Freya stood firm, brandishing an iron rod, as the other man lay out cold, bleeding slightly.

In fear, the man admitted, “Only four or five, but I promise we didn’t kill them, we only-” Freya cut him off with a sharp kick.

They were despicable monsters.

Pain surged throughout the man’s body, overwhelming him until he blacked out.

A loud clang reverberated when Freya tossed the iron rod to the ground.

Ashley, having seen it all, shook uncontrollably. She never thought Freya could be so imposing.

“Why are you just watching? Call the police,” Freya said, her voice as calm as ever.

“Why… why should I?”

Freya responded, “Apparently, I’m not with my phone.”

“Oh, okay.” Ashley’s mind hadn’t caught up, but her hands automatically reached for her phone.

At the dial screen, she paused and swiftly turned the screen off. Her body turned stiff as she said, “No… I can’t call the cops. They’ll turn on me.”

“You’re afraid of getting caught?” Freya’s gaze was piercing and clear.

“Yes,” Ashley said hesitantly. She couldn’t afford to get caught.

“You’re afraid of getting caught, yet you hired them to kidnap me? It’s clear now that you have no morals,”

Freya remarked as she made her way toward the exit, leading to a slightly overgrown field.

Ashley bit her lip, keeping her gaze lowered, too afraid to respond.

She trailed behind Freya, aware that Freya wouldn’t just forgive her.

“How’s the injury on your back?” Freya asked.

“Huh?”

“The injury you sustained when you got in the way,” Freya said casually.

She couldn’t make sense of Ashley’s behavior.

“It’s… it’s okay,” Ashley managed to say.

Her lips were pale, and she was clearly in discomfort, but she struggled to admit it. “Please, can you not turn me in? I’ll do anything.”

“Who made you do this?” Freya asked directly.

From their previous encounters, Freya knew Ashley had a questionable character but didn’t seem likely to engage in criminal acts.

Something seemed off.

“Nobody…” Ashley faltered, “I just wanted leverage over you, in case I ever needed money to use against you.” Freya was dumbfounded by such a weak excuse, choosing not to challenge her lie.

She nonchalantly took Ashley’s phone, unlocked it, and when asked for a password, she chose to dial an emergency number.

“What are you doing?!” Ashley exclaimed in alarm.

“If you won’t be honest, I’m calling the cops immediately,” Freya threatened. “Kidnapping is a serious crime. If you want to risk a life behind bars, continue hiding the truth.”

“Don’t!” Ashley’s demeanor reverted to her former self.

Watching her changing expression, Freya probed, “Still unwilling to speak?”

“I’ve told you all I can,” Ashley declared and took a deep breath. Her face displayed a torrent of emotions.” “What else do you want from me?”

“Then I have no choice but to involve the police,” Freya concluded.

“You can’t!” Ashley snapped.

If the police got involved, she was confident she wouldn’t end up in jail because that person had ways to free her. However, once released, she would face consequences far worse than hell.

Freya remained resolute, and Ashley was unable to get her phone back or sway Freya’s decision.

<Chapter 112 Giving Ashley A Chance

Ashley knew that if Freya had truly intended to call the police, she would have done so already instead of prolonging the conversation here.

“I don’t understand what made you forsake your basic decency, Freya expressed, baffled by Ashley’s behavior.

“Had you not let me escape, shielded me, and prevented them from killing me, I would have believed you were completely evil.”

Freya was never forgiving toward those who were truly evil. But Ashley’s behavior was perplexing.

“Do you have family?” Freya changed the subject abruptly.

Ashley was taken aback. “What…”

“Family,” Freya reiterated.

“Yes.”

Upon hearing this, Freya handed back the phone to her and walked away.

Ashley was left feeling that Freya was a mystery, never fully understanding her motives. “What are you going to do?”
