Chapter 603 Now that the Bennett Group has gone bankrupt , Caspian originally wanted to sell Sophia for a posthumous marriage in exchange for resources , but it turned into a joke .
Im afraid there wont be any buzz about her for a while , Selalu said .
Freyas interest was immediately piqued when she heard the words posthumous marriage .
Speaking of that , I wonder if this thing really works .
How can a living person marry a dead one ? Will a dead person even know that they are married to a living person and show up at their door at midnight ? It is said that the living and the dead have different paths .
How does a posthumous marriage work ? Will the living person consummate the mamage with the dead ? Freya rubbed her wrists excitedly .
She was energized when the topic was brought up .
Freya used to think that these were just superstitions , so when Odalys mentioned that Sophia was almost forced into a posthumous marriage , the was beyond stunned .
Freya was disappointed that she had left too early yesterday , resulting in her missing out on a good show Im also puzzled .
If you bind the birthdates of the living and the dead together , can they really become a couple ? Selahs eyes also sparkled when she talked about it … As the two were gossiping .
Freya turned her head and saw Francis sitting quietly at one side .
She quickly tilted her head at Selah , who followed her gaze and stared at Francis for a long time .
Francis , are you alright ? That was a great take just now Selah quickly tried to strike up a conversation with him Francis snapped back to reality at Selahs voice .
He quickly walked out .
After making sure that no one was outside the dressing room , he closed the door and said worriedly .
I went to the bathroom to answer a call earlier and sensed someone cavesdropping outside .
But when I came out , no one was outside .
Im afraid someone in the crew is watching us Hearing this , Stellan quickly got up .
He glanced around the dressing room .
Freya and Selah also became nervous , The group silently exchanged looks and then started searching in different directions .
Stellans eyes fell on the trash can beside him .
He reached over and grabbed the garbage bag , pulling it up , and the others gathered closer , staring intently at the bin ..
A red dot was blinking on the edge of the trash can .
Freyas eyes instantly turned red .
She gripped her phone tightly and suddenly grabbed Selah .
What are you trying to do ? Let go of me , she said .
Hub ? Im not trying to do anything Selah was al as also startled .
Seeing this , Stellan gave both of them a look and said , Stop fighting , both of of your At his words , Freya quickly kicked the trash can and said , Damn it , Ive had enough of you As if I havent had enough of you ! Im going to end you today , Selah said .
The two turned around in tacit agreement , grabbed a bucket of water nearby , and threw it at the trash can The water spilled out , drenching the trash can and hitting the listening device , A faint electric crackling sound was heard .
Water enveloped the listening device , and after the red dot flickered a few times , it went out Is it broken ? Selab asked in a low voice .
Freya held onto Selahs arm , obviously frightened Yeah , it should be broken , Stellan squatted down and checked .
Franciss face was ashen .
His mind was replaying scenes from earlier .
I remember the trash can was replaced this morning .
The cleaner said the trash can was full and took it away .
When he brought it back , it was this color .
I glanced at it , and he explained that the old one 1/3 198 Chapter 603 was broken, so he replaced it with a new one , Francis said .
Stellan rubbed his temples and sank into a chair nearby .
It seems this listening device was planted when the trash can was changed this morning .
Its a good thing we didnt talk about anything important .
otherwise , wed be in big trouble , he said in disbelief .
Selah pulled Freya back a few steps os and searched the dressing room again .
Only after confirming there were no more listening devices did they both sigh in relief and collapse onto the floor .
Freya , its a good thing youre quick witted .
You started an argument with me , making them think we were having a conflict , and then things and destroyed the listening device .
Theyll definitely be confused , but they shouldnt be suspicious .
smashed It seems we are being watched .
Someone in the production crew is keeping an eye on us , Selah said .
Francis was silent for a moment before telling them about his phone call with Odalys .
Therefore , its possible that I am the target , not you .
The safest thing for you now is to keep your distance from me .
They are coming for me At noon .
I want all of you to leave after you put the talismans in my room.
I will take care of the rest , Francis said .
He did not want to implicate others .
Nearly all of the recent troubles including the Devils Triangle incident , were directed at him .
It would be great if Lee were here , Selah suddenly remarked .
When Lee was mentioned .
Stellan said , Theard that during an investigation , Lee encountered the drug trafficker from before .
He gave chase into the woods and then disappeared .
The police have been searching for Lee .
but they still havent found any trace of him .
Freya was a little surprised .
Why did Lee suddenly go missing ? Freya was in disbelief .
Lee was a highly respected and capable police officer Stellan said , You guys are aware that Finnian was working with people from the dark web yesterday , planning to harm Lees family , right ? But the plan was folled by Odalys , who saved them .
probably going to die soon .
So Finnians plan was ruined and he got arrested .
I heard that after his arrest , his body started to rot , , and hes pr His words were like a bomb , leaving everyone stunned .
Lee is in charge of many cases in Crownridge , including some major ones , and his investigation was always thorough .
With him missing now many cases in Crownridge would become cold cases .
If something happened to him , no one would know the inside story of the case .
Even if someone took over , he couldnt possibly figure out the details of the case in a short period of time , which would only add to the polices workload .
So no matter what happens , the police may not have the manpower to investigate , Freya interjected .
Stellan nodded .
His parents were both businessmen , so he was always quicker than others to catch rumors .
Stellan said , I suspect that Lees incident is also a sei like its not possible now Selah fell silent .
a setup , but theres no word from the police .
Previously , we could cooperate with Lee , but it seems They even dared to attack the family of a police officer , it seems that it is a foreign force at work .
Didnt Windsor stay abroad for three years before coming back ? Selah suddenly said .
The moment she mentioned Windsor , everyone recalled the figure they had seen at the nightclub the night before .
From the way Windsor was strangling Sophia , no one could tell that the two of them were actually having an affair .
Its messed up , it feels messed up .
Freya shook her head quickly .
Stellan exchanged glances with Francis , and both of them said almost in unison .
Could all those people who were watching us be related to these people ?
