Chapter 256 You Can Lean

On Me If You Want

Though Natasha often lent Brendan a hand with affairs elsewhere, she knew the layout of his house like the

back of her hand.

She arrived at the basement door, punched in the password, and stepped inside without hesitation.

Her purpose was simple: to help Freya deal with those snakes. After all, Freya wasn't just Kristian's ex-wife- Natasha's mentor would be visiting soon, and if fate played its cards right, perhaps a small act of kindness

would earn her some favor.

But the moment she stepped in and took in the sight before her, she froze. Her jaw nearly hit the floor as she

stared at the basement.

One step at a time, she descended the stairs, her eyes widening at the heap of lifeless snakes. "You did all this?"

Freya cast her a glance but kept her silence.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Natasha asked, clearly puzzled.

"Is there anyone else in this basement besides me?" Freya replied coolly. She didn't know who this woman was, and in a place like this, words were more dangerous than silence.

Loose lips sink ships-especially in murky waters.

Who was to say this woman wasn't one of Brendan's subordinates?

"There's no need to be so bristly with me," Natasha said, lowering herself onto the stairs. Her long hair framed her delicate face, making it appear even smaller. "I'm nothing like the man you met today."

Freya gave her another look, the same thought crossing her mind for the

umpteenth time-did this woman really take her for a fool?

This woman walked in freely, used a password to get inside, and then had the gall to claim she wasn't with

that man.

"He helped me once," Natasha added, her gaze thoughtful. "Now I'm just repaying

a debt." Natasha found Freya striking-so much so that she had the sudden urge to pinch her cheek.

And before she could think better of it, she stood, walked over, eyes twinkling with mischief, and gently pinched Freya's cheek.

Freya blinked, stunned.

She opened her mouth to speak, but Natasha cut in with a grin. "Your skin is so soft."
