My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1762

Wasn't Freya's happiness stolen away by Stephanie as well?

Zachary was seemingly aware that he was in the wrong, so he lowered his head even more and did not utter a single word.

Would Frey a have fallen for him if she saw his true colors back then?

"Did you really think that finding an outlaw and paying a huge sum of money could keep your hands clean from this?" Freya might be softhearted, but I definitely wasn't. I said, "Since the culprit has been caught, I have many ways to make him speak. He has caused intentional harm, so he'll end up with a jail term of three years at minimum. If the Moore family pressures the court, he will never be able to leave prison within ten years. While you, as an instigator, can only wait to spend your best years in prison."

Stephanie's young beauty was her greatest confidence to keep Zachary by her side. I needed to let her know that she must pay a huge price for hurting Freya.

Upon seeing my resolute expression, a wave of panic flashed across Stephanie's face. She frowned and avoided making eye contact with me. "Let the man go," Zachary pleaded immediately, a tinge of bitterness in his tone. "Stephanie already has a child in her belly. Let's not aggravate this situation even further."

She was pregnant?

No wonder Freya was so decisive in leaving him. It was because of this.
