From where Freya sat, the face of the man remained a mystery, but the voice and silhouette left no room for doubt-it was Edwin.

The last encounter at the hotel had been carefully orchestrated by Freya. She had hoped that by provoking Edwin, he would take the bait and give her the perfect opportunity to expose his wrongdoings.

That way, she could gather the evidence needed to send him behind bars.

But so far, nothing had gone awry.

"Melvin," she called out, her voice steady.

"At your service," came the prompt reply.

"Do you think your outfit today is fit for showcasing your fighting skills?" Freya asked, her mind already spinning a plan.

Melvin, who knew her intentions better than anyone, understood immediately. Without hesitation, he answered, "Yes."

When Freya gave an order, it was as good as gospel, no matter the circumstances.

Freya nodded, feeling reassured. "Good."

They finished their meal at a leisurely pace, and when the time came to pay, Freya raised her voice slightly, intending to catch Edwin's attention and set the wheels of his plan into motion.

Just as she expected, as soon as she spoke, both Edwin and Vivien turned their heads toward her.

Freya's voice was unmistakable, clear and melodic. Vivien, having heard it just moments ago, recognized it immediately. Edwin, too, remembered it all too well- the same voice that had echoed in the confines of the hotel room, the one that had driven him to near madness.

Sure enough, as soon as Freya finished paying and made her way to the door, Edwin approached her and Melvin, a smile playing at the corners of his lips. "Well, well, if it isn't Ms. Briggs?"

Freya barely glanced his way, deliberately ignoring him as though he were a shadow passing through the room.

"Uncle Edwin, do you know her?" Vivien couldn't hide her confusion, her brow furrowing as she spoke.

"Who exactly is this woman?"

"More than just knowing her," Edwin responded with a touch of smirk, "I was the one who facilitated her... affair with Mr. Shaw." He hadn't heard the whole story of what had transpired at the hotel after he left, but he was sure of one thing: a woman like Freya wouldn't escape the attention of Kristian.
