Chapter 48 Don't You Think I Deserve An...

Greta scoffed, "You're dreaming."

"Impossible," Riley countered.

Trent leaned back in his chair. "You might as well take a nap while you're at it."

Skepticism radiated from the entire group.

In their collective judgment, no earthly problem would ever compel Freya to deploy her hacking abilities as a solution.

Even if such a situation arose, they believed she would immediately contact authorities and step aside for an official investigation.

Frustrated by their doubt, Jackson fired off another message, vividly detailing the scene he had just witnessed. Meanwhile, Freya's research triggered a cascade of windows across her computer screen, each filled with intricate lines of code.

The high-performance machine whirred loudly, cooling fans straining under the processing demands.

Gerard stood transfixed, his eyes wide as he stared at the incomprehensible data streaming across the screen. Admiration welled within him.

His suspicions had proven accurate! Freya was indeed an extraordinary hacker.

Gerard whispered, barely containing his excitement, "I told you she was a hacker, but you dismissed my theory." Kristian's dark eyes revealed nothing, yet his shock matched Gerard's.

The longer he observed, the more intense his gaze became. Despite sharing two years of marriage, he had never uncovered her technological prowess.
