Chapter 1514 We can make sure that she never comes back, and if she returns, we can arrest her immediately.

That sounded rather tempting to Frieda.

If that were the case, she would finally be able to escape the clutches of Aubree.

Frieda's expression changed visibly.

Jonathan could tell that she was wavering. He seized the opportunity and asked again, “Has she already fled Horington?” Frieda lowered her head and nodded in silence.

When Jonathan saw that, a trace of anger flashed across his face, but he quickly suppressed the rage rising in him.

“Given Aubree's capabilities, there was no way she could have escaped under the surveillance of both the Farwell family and the police. Even with your help, it was still an impossible feat. How exactly did she manage to do it?” Frieda hesitated for a second before answering with a pleading look in her eyes, “Jonathan, if | tell you, can you promise me not to tell anyone else?” Jonathan remained unmoved as he fixed his gaze on his sister.

“Lucian can't know that | didn't inform him that Aubree ran away. He's not going to let me off! Who knows, maybe our entire family would also be affected...” Panic was written all over Frieda's face as she tugged at Jonathan's sleeves.

Jonathan's gaze softened when Frieda expressed worry about their family's situation. However, instead of giving her a direct answer, he merely said, “So tell me, how did she manage to escape?” Frieda took her brother's silence as his tacit agreement and said softly, “She had help from a man. If I'm not wrong, he's the one who was with her at the hotel that day. He seems to be a rather powerful person. He sent Aubree out of Horington on the night of the incident.” Jonathan could feel anger flooding his veins, but he managed to keep a poker face when Frieda looked toward him.

“That's all | know. | have nothing else to tell you even if you continue asking me,” the woman said.

Jonathan furrowed his brows and asked, “When is she coming back?” Frieda shook her head. “I have no idea. | left the room when both of them were talking. When | returned, Aubree was already getting into the car and leaving.” After saying that, she asked Jonathan hopefully, “Didn't you say that you will prevent her from returning?” When Jonathan was sure that his sister had told him everything she knew, he finally unleashed the fury he had been suppressing all this while.

“Are you finally worried that she might come back? You should have taken my words seriously in the first place!” Frieda's eyes brimmed with grievance and nervousness when she saw the sudden change in her brother's attitude.

“Why did you help her? Were you involved in all those things that she had done previously?” Jonathan asked sternly, suddenly recalling some things.

Frieda let go of his sleeves guiltily. Learning her lesson, she decided not to tell him anything else. “No. That's really all. | had no idea what she wanted me to help her with when she came to see me. | didn't expect...” She sounded as if Aubree had also deceived her.

Jonathan eyed his sister suspiciously for some time while she kept her head bowed.

“Make sure this stays between us. Don't you dare ask Grandpa or Mom and Dad for help. | don't want them to collapse from anger!” After an extended silence, Jonathan continued coldly, “It's best for you to stay at home during this period. You're not allowed to step out of the house without my permission!” Without giving Frieda a chance to reply, Jonathan turned around and strode out of the room after saying that.

“Keep an eye on her. Don't let her leave the house without my permission!” Even with the door slammed shut, Frieda could hear her brother speaking to the housekeeper. She felt as if a pail of ice-cold water had been dumped on her.
