Chapter 147: Vera's Little Schemes and Idle Rumors
The curtains were tightly closed, sealing off all the commotion from the outside world.
Vera sat at the dining table, recounting the events of the past few days while she ate the food her brother had brought.
"After Big Sister Freya returned from the Royal Capital, she came to see me every day..." A complex mix of emotions flickered across Vera's face. "She was always pestering me for stories about your past, and she asked for every little detail..."
Vera was actually reluctant to share stories of her brother's childhood with others, as those were precious memories belonging only to the two of them.
But Big Sister Freya was an exception because she was truly kind to her. This warm-hearted Holy Maiden of the Church showed none of the hypocrisy typical of high-ranking figures; she genuinely looked after Vera as if she were her own younger sister.
Of course, Vera was also well aware of Freya's little schemes regarding her brother.
However, she didn't show the same resistance toward her as she did toward her brother's female boss; she had her own little schemes in this matter.
During her time studying with Master Danielle, she had increasingly realized that Hailey Lawrence's identity was far from simple. That so-called official transcendent organization was likely just an excuse from the very beginning...
A bad woman who radiated an aura of darkness and displayed murderous intent at any moment... Vera wouldn't be surprised if she was a major criminal on a wanted list.
