Chapter 25 Testing Freya

The burden of being the Briggs Group successor weighed heavily on Freya's shoulders. She yearned simply to find genuine love-someone who cherished her for herself-so they could build a life together through their own achievements, not inherited wealth.

Even without her successor title, Freya's social standing matched Kristian's perfectly.

She wanted their marriage to conclude just as it had begun-with her identity stripped down to simply being.

Freya.

Having made this decision, she resolved to inform Hugh immediately.

If she delayed, Kristian's introduction tomorrow would certainly catch Hugh off guard, potentially exposing her

secret.

"W-What?" Hugh stammered, visibly shocked, his mind temporarily unable to process her words. "Why would he bring you to meet me?"

"He intends to verify my identity," Freya stated matter-of-factly.

In reality, this wasn't Kristian's true motivation.

His actual purpose was to discover whether Freya would contact Hugh after learning about the meeting.

If she reached out to Hugh, it would confirm their relationship.

If not, he would dismiss her claims as mere fiction.

After speaking with Hugh, Freya checked her inbox and discovered two emails.

The first one read, "I request your assistance in examining call records for a number to determine if it has recently communicated with Hugh Briggs of the Briggs Group." The second email contained her own number.

Freya nearly laughed at the irony. Kristian had unwittingly asked her to investigate herself.

Her spirits lifted slightly as she swiftly replied, "Checked. No contact."

She harbored no concerns about Kristian employing additional hackers for verification.

Her contact information remained securely encrypted, rendering it untraceable through illicit methods.

Upon receiving her email, Kristian placed a verification call, which yielded identical results-no contact detected. This discovery deepened his contemplation of the situation.

The following afternoon found Freya still at the hospital, engaged in conversation with her sister, absorbing fascinating stories from the past two years.

Their discussion eventually turned toward Kristian.
