A Fallen Heir’s Redemption By ( Lucian and Freya )
Chapter 61

Chapter 61 Reaching Out to an Old Classmate

Ten minutes later, Lucian and Freya were together at home.

“Are you insane?” Freya couldn’t believe what Lucian had just told her and was visibly upset.

Lucian remained calm, his smile still intact. “You should know me well enough by now. I always think things through before I act.”

“Stop Gray family from going public? And you think you can do it alone?” Freya’s tone was incredulous. “Do you even realize how many major corporations are backing the Gray family? And all you did was make a grandiose statement that you’d publicly commit suicide if they went public. Is that your idea of thinking things through?”

“Well, as long as I don’t give them the nod, they can’t go public,” Lucian nodded solemnly.

you think

“Who do exasperated.

you are, the almighty Infernal War G od?” Freya retorted, clearly

“I am the Infernal War G od,” Lucian replied co olly.

“Ugh!” Freya’s temper flared at his response. She slammed her hand down on the table and snapped, “Lucian, can’t you speak sensibly? Even if you don’t care about yourself, you should at least consider Minnie and me. You promised to stay and take care of Minnie. Are you going to break that promise again?”

“I really do have a plan,” Lucian replied softly, unsure of how to explain himself.

Annie and Frank stormed into the room, having overheard the argument. Annie was particularly incensed, her face red with anger as she pointed at Freya and yelled, “Freya, don’t listen to that jerk. He’s nothing but a fool.”

Upon hearing the news, Annie and Frank rushed back home in anger. They couldn’t believe that just when their lives had started to settle down, Lucian had stirred up such a huge mess by taking down Marcus with the Grim Reapers. It was like poking a hornet’s nest, especially now that the Gray family was at the height of their power in Sioux. Killing Lucian would be child’s play for them.

Lucian could only sit on the couch and sigh.

In the next moment, Freya stood up and went to the bedroom to pack Lucian’s things. She said, “You should go into hiding for a while until the Gray family goes public. Wait until the heat dies down and then come back. Please, don’t act recklessly.”

“Okay, I agree,” Lucian nodded, willing to follow Freya’s suggestion.

If Lucian didn’t agree, it would only make Freya and the others more anxious, so he nodded in agreement.

“If anything happens outside, call me immediately. I’ll keep an eye on things here. Don’t come back until I tell you to,” Freya said to Lucian with a serious expression.

“Yeah, I understand.”

Lucian nodded and left the villa with his luggage.

After Lucian left, Freya let out a sigh and went back to the bedroom. She had used all her connections and resources to investigate the several major enterprises supporting the Gray family’s IPO, all of which were well-known families in the neighboring city.

She had made up her mind to contact these families and try to persuade them to give Lucian some leeway and help him plead with the Gray family.

After all, it was Lucian’s father who had established their connection with the Gray family in the first place.

Freya hoped that they would help Lucian just this once, as a favor to his late father.

But when she contacted one of the families that supported the Gray family’s IPO, they didn’t even give her the time of day. In their eyes, Freya was just a small-time player with no right to speak to them, let alone ask for their help.

In the end, Freya had no choice but to turn to an old classmate, Jared!!

He was the head of the second-tier family in Sioux, the scion of the Lisbon family. Although they were only the second-tier family, once the Gray family went public and joined the ranks of the great families, the Lisbon family would be promoted to the first-tier family, making them a force to be reckoned with.

If Jared was willing to help, perhaps it could save Lucian’s he

“Hey, is this Jared It’s Freya. Can I ask you for a favor? Freya bad obtained Jared’s phone number from another classmate and called him directly

Oh, it’s you. Freya Do you need me to come to you or do you have something you want to talk to me about? Jared asked, aware of Freya’s physical disabiling

“No need, I can come to you. I’m already recovered Freya replied

Recovered? Jared sounded surprised and excited at the same time. Then come to Jolly Java Cafe.

Thirty minutes later. Freya arrived at Jolly Java Cat and found her old cusNTAR Jared

Jared was dressed in a sleek suit and wore gold-rimmed glasses that made him look refined and cultured. However, when he looked at Freya, his eyes were filed with unsavory intentions. He never expected Freya to have recovered from her disability, let alone become even more beautiful than before.

Before, Jared had no interest in Freya, but now he was immensely intrigued by her. He believed that making Freya his woman would be the happiest thing in the world.

Back in school Jared had feelings for Freya, but Lucian beat him to the punch. Because Lucian was the second son of the Gray family, Jared didn’t dare act recklessly and could only hide his feelings deep inside. Now, the perfect opportunity had presented itself.

Jared, you know about my husband Lucian’s situation, right” Freya asted, not wanting to be too direct but assuming that Jared had heard the news.

Jared nodded lightly and said. “Indeed. I heard about it. Lucian is boasting about stopping the Gray family from going public. It almost made me laugh out loud. An abandoned kid like him dares to try and take on the almighty Gray family? That’s just foolish. To be blunt, with the Gray family’s resources, they could easily crush Lucian like a bug.”

Although his words were harsh, they were the truth.

Freya’s plea didn’t seem to anger Jared, but she could sense his hesitation. “Can you

please talk to your father and ask him to intercede with the Gray ferilky for me? They could show some leniency since Lucian’s father has made siglticme comeravon to their success,”

Jared was caught between a rock and a hard place. While the Lisbon Savally hard made some strides over the years, they were still no match for the Grey family, Furthermore, with Lucian’s outrageous behavior, it seemed like there was no hope for him. But as he looked at Freya’s stunning figure, he couldn’t resise and swallowed hard before saying, “Sure, I’ll see what I can do?

Freya was overjoyed at the news. “Really? Thank you so much

“I’ll

“You were my classmate. How could I say no?” Jared replied with a smirk. “Til talk to my father and see what he can do. But for now, how about we go to my villa and have a glass of wine? I just brought back two bottles from oversat

“Today won’t work, my daughter is home alone and I’m worried, Freya declined.

“Alright,” Jared didn’t push it, he said, “In five days, the Gray family will be going public, So, come to my villa then. I’ll contact many people to help plead for Lucian.

You must come,”

“Okay, thank you,” Freya said her thanks and left.

Jared watched Freya’s departing figure through the window, his eyes darkening with a hint of malice. He snorted and said, “What a foolish woman. Now that Lucian has offended the Gray family, no one can save him. When Lucian dies, you will be mine,

haha,”
