Chapter 454 Negotiating With Helga

Melodie’s tone was gentle as she talked about Austin Institute, full of nostalgic memories. She chuckled and said, “Speaking of which, my husband and I actually met at Austin Institute.”

With that, she looked up at Darrin with an affectionate smile, and Darrin responded with a grin.

Freya’s gaze briefly flickered as the conversation wrapped up. She pulled Radley aside, away from Darrin and Melodie. Far from the couple, Freya’s expression turned serious. Things have gotten more complicated.”

Melodie, or rather, Danna, wouldn’t be foolish enough to fabricate details about her school. While identities could be falsified, an institution like Austin Institute had numerous students and faculty. Darrin couldn’t possibly ensure that everyone who attended with her kept silent. Moreover, Austin Institute was a renowned school with a diverse student body. It wasn’t just Florinians who studied there; it attracted elites from various countries. Darrin couldn’t possibly silence all of them.

So, there was only one possibility-Melodie had genuinely attended Austin Institute, and the stories about the ivy-covered walkways and the like were true.

Freya shook her head. She used to harbor a deep hatred for Danna. Even though time had passed, she still held a strong aversion toward Danna. However, she no longer felt the kind of heartache that would prevent her from thinking rationally. “No need. Our goal today is about Wonder Aroma. I need evidence. As for Danna, we don’t need to deal with her right away.

If Danna intended to settle in Caltun, there would be plenty of time for further investigation.
