Chapter 1854

Of course, Patrick also understood that their statuses were different now. She was a princess and the
pearl of the Lynch family, whereas he was just the fallen Young Master of the Jackson family.

“Patrick, let’s go.” Linda tugged at Patrick apprehensively.

Since Rebecca was dead, she did not dare to provoke Freya and Rodney anymore.

“What? Why are you running when you see me?” Rodney’s lips curled into a sneer. “Weren’t you quite
happy throwing in your lot with Rebecca? Oh, by the way, that friend of yours was also found to be a
fraudster, and her entire family had gone to jail. It was a huge fraud involving hundreds of billions. I
remember you had a really good relationship with her back then. You weren’t dragged into it, were
you? Did the police investigate you?”

“No, I didn’t…” Linda panicked, and her face turned white as snow. “ I’m not familiar with Rebecca at
all.”

“Not familiar?” Rodney smiled wickedly. “That can’t be. Back then, Rebecca even introduced you to the
former prime minister’s grandson and saved Patrick out of jail. But you’re saying that you’re not familiar
with her? Do you think I’m stupid? I think you must be a fish that slipped through the net, so you have
to be caught and put on trial.”

Then, he took out his phone.

Linda looked at Patrick pleadingly. “Patrick, I really didn’t know. You have to help me. I was cheated by
Rebecca. I only did it because I wanted to save you. Freya is just there, so please help me beg for
mercy. I don’t want to go to jail. I’m innocent.”

Patrick could not refute it. He had to admit that he only got out of jail because of Linda’s help.



He looked up at Freya with a complicated gaze and walked towards her.

However, just as he took a step, Rodney stopped him.

“What are you doing? Are you planning to harass my wife?” Rodney warned coldly, “Get lost.”



Patrick’s face reddened in embarrassment, but he could not stand Linda’s bitter pleading. Hence, he
forced his way through. “Freya…”

He went to her side and looked at her face up close.

Only then did he realize that her face was a little rounder than before, but she seemed much more
radiant. Her skin was excellent, and even the aura she exuded was different from what it used to be.

The difference between them now was like the difference between heaven and earth.

“Do you need something?” Freya looked at him calmly, her gaze flat.

Patrick’s heart suddenly flooded with pain, and he was suddenly at a loss. “I…”

“He wants to plead for mercy on Linda’s behalf. ” Rodney walked over lazily. “Didn’t Linda get along
well with Rebecca? Rebecca was suspected of fraud, so it’s standard procedure to investigate her
friends too. But Patrick can’t bear to let Linda be investigated.”

Patrick panicked. “That’s not it. I just…”

“So you’re here to plead for mercy on Linda’s behalf?” Freya interrupted him and stared at him with her
dark eyes.



Patrick felt a lump in his throat. In the end, he could only nod stiffly. “I admit that Linda might have done
a lot of bad things to you. But when it comes to Rebecca, Linda might really…”

“Might? Really?” Freya smiled pensively. “ President Jackson, you know Rebecca is involved in a huge
national-level fraud. Are you still trying to vouch for Linda? Have you ever thought of what you’ll face if
you’re wrong? Have you thought about your parents? When you were in prison, your parents ran all
around trying to help you. They even knelt at the entrance of the Lynch residence. You’re not young
anymore to be so immature.”

Patrick’s handsome face turned pale.

In the past, he always felt that Freya was not sensible and liked to kick up a fuss without reason.

Now, in her eyes, he was so immature that he looked like an idiot.

Freya said faintly, “In fact, even if Linda is investigated, she won’t necessarily go to jail. As long as she
didn’t do anything, the police can’t do anything to her. But if she’s suspected of it, it’s only natural that
she goes to jail, isn’t it?”
