The President’s Mistake A Tale of Love and Regret

As a result, Frey bypassed conventional discretion and directly mentioned her brother's situation to Sawyer.

Sawyer was aware of the tragic details surrounding Frey's brother.

It was rumored that he had some connection with Nathaniel, though such claims were unverified.

However, Sawyer had gathered information indicating that Frey and her mother had been involved in a severe car accident on their way to the airport.

The accident left Frey's mother paralyzed, and her younger brother disappeared without a trace.

Moreover, this incident took place in Pontenero. Given that Frey claimed to have seen her brother here, Sawyer found it implausible that a young child could have made it to Pontenero alone.

Taking a deep breath, Sawyer asked, "Could it be that you're under so much mental strain that you're mistakenly seeing your brother in someone else?"

"Saeville and Pontenero are worlds apart..."

Sawyer trailed off, noticing the displeased expression on Frey's face.

Frey took another breath and continued, "That boy who stole my bag looked exactly like an older version of my brother."

"He seemed surprised to see me."

"If I had mistaken him for someone else, why would he still recognize me?

Despite the robbery, why did he hesitate when he saw my face?"

Frey's recounting of the event revealed the depths of her anguish.

The collapse of the Gomez family, compounded by Killian's harsh treatment of the Gomez family, left her feeling responsible.

She blamed herself for bringing a "demon" into her family, resulting in its destruction.

She mourned her father's suicide, her mother's vegetative state, and her brother's disappearance. Even a sliver of hope was worth all her efforts.

Seeing the sweat forming on Frey's brow and the intensity of her focus, Sawyer's expression shifted from playful to serious as he listened intently.

Frey's frustration from the previous night's encounter with Nathaniel fueled her determination. Though it pained her, she knew she had to press on.noveldrama

"How can help you?" Sawyer asked, shedding his earlier nonchalant

Frey retrieved her phone and showed him an electronic contract. It was a property transfer

agreement, promising a substantial fee to Sawyer upon his signature.

Given their past cooperation, Frey knew Sawyer's account details.

"What's this about?" Sawyer asked, surprised that Frey was offering not just a favor, but a financial reward.

Frey met his gaze and said, "It's just a gesture of my sincerity."

"I know you're not as refined as you seem in Pontenero. There must be people of yours scattered across these chaotic, smoky streets."

"The Truenian boy doesn't appear to be a solitary thief. I wonder if other criminal groups are involved."

"I need you to help me locate my brother. You're more familiar with this gray area than I am, and you can navigate it better. If I find my brother, you'll receive an additional financial reward."
