Chapter 67 Exposing Ashley's Lies

"What were those intimate things?" Kristian inquired, his voice descending to an unprecedented depth and his eyes churning with barely contained emotions.

Ashley positioned herself against the hospital bed, her recently freed hand from the IV drip clenching slightly. "Kristian, I witnessed him sliding his hand inside Freya's blouse."

"Impressive!" Liam exclaimed spontaneously.

Freya glanced his way, her anger momentarily dissolving into amusement at his unexpected comment.

"Why not simply declare we had sex right there in the car?" Liam countered with biting sarcasm. "Your talent for fabricating stories truly stands unrivaled."

"Liam!" Kristian thundered.

Liam curved his lips into a deliberate smile, remembering Freya's reaction as he responded, "What? Did you actually believe it?"

Kristian remained wordless, observing Liam defend Freya giving him an inexplicable constriction in his chest. "Kristian, they might have simply been caught up in the moment." Ashley tugged gently at his sleeve, concern flooding her beautiful eyes. "She might harbor resentment about our relationship, explaining her behavior."

Ashley added softly, "Don't hold it against her."

Freya and Liam maintained their silence, standing motionless as they awaited Kristian's verdict.

Kristian's hands tightened at his sides before he finally asked in a strained voice, "Are you absolutely certain about what you saw?"

"Yes," Ashley confirmed with a nod.

"Is there any possibility you misinterpreted the situation?" Kristian pressed.

"No," Ashley stated with unwavering conviction.

Kristian stood immobile for an extended moment, utterly silent.

The other three could not begin to decipher his thoughts during this weighted pause.

"Kristian, since you're planning to divorce your wife for this woman, why prevent us from being together?" Liam interjected provocatively. "I would treat her with more consideration than you ever did, and Grandpa wouldn't raise objections."

"Silence!" Kristian commanded, his tone glacial.

Kristian's gare shifted to the silent Freya, his emotions enfangled in complexity. "Won't you offer an explanation?"

"Is there truly any purpose?" Freya responded, exhaustion evident in her demeanor.
