Chapter 47 I've 'Gravely Underestimated You

"Are you certain you want me to look into this matter?" Frederick asked, his voice

laced with hesitation after hearing her request.

Freya responded with unwavering conviction. "Yes."

Though confused by her insistence, Frederick nodded. "I'll handle it."

"Forward me any information you discover," she instructed.

"Of course."

After concluding their conversation, Freya set her phone aside, pulled the blanket over herself, and drifted into sleep.

The following morning, she awoke to a message from Frederick, which read, "I spent the entire night investigating but found nothing significant. The only woman who approached him appears to be a friend of Felipe Yates's."

Freya typed back simply, "Understood. Thank you."

She decided against calling for additional details.

Frederick had undoubtedly been awake all night and was likely resting now. A call would certainly disturb his sleep.

She had believed that by discreetly following Kristian here and maintaining a low profile, nothing more would transpire. However, she had underestimated certain individuals' capacity for creating conflict.

Freya had just completed her breakfast and was searching for a charger when Kristian stormed in from outside. Gerard trailed behind him, his face a complex mixture of emotions.

Kristian radiated an icy detachment, his eyes piercing like steel blades.

He strode directly toward Freya, his tailored suit emphasizing his towering frame. Before she could react, Kristian seized her by the throat and thrust her against the wall, hatred blazing in his eyes.

"Freya, I was so wrong about you. When you firmly denied everything at the hospital, I believed every word. Is this how you repay my faith?"

His grip tightened mercilessly.

Sensing imminent danger, Freya instinctively kicked him. The impact forced him to release her neck.

She doubled over coughing violently, distinct finger marks visible on her fair, slender throat.
