Chapter 160 I'll'Cooperate

With You

Once the conversation was over, Ashley prepared to leave.

Kristian provided her with an excuse and instructed her on how to report back to that man.

He watched her retreating figure, a cold warning in his tone as he spoke. "If you ever harm Freya again, I will personally ensure you end up in prison."

"Understood,” Ashley responded, a weight lifting from her chest.

For the first time in what felt like forever, she could breathe easier. Guilt and anxiety had been her constant companions, haunting her late into countless nights.

But now, with this confrontation, she felt a quiet relief.

In order to avoid disrupting Freya's plans, Kristian reluctantly played along with Ashley, staging a scene where it appeared she had been cast out of the Shaw Group building.

He glanced at the address Freya had sent him, a moment of contemplation flickering in his mind before he set off

By the time Freya and Kristian finally met, it was already noon.

To keep their conversation private, Freya had chosen a secluded spot.

As they sat down, Kristian wasted no time, recalling Ashley's earlier words. "Ashley mentioned you're planning to go undercover around that person?"

"Yes"

"Wouldn't it be better to report it to the authorities?" Kristian asked, his voice tinged with concern.

"It won't work," Freya replied, fully aware of the man's identity and nature. "He won't come back to the country unless it's absolutely necessary."

Kristian's brow furrowed instinctively.

Freya pulled up a photo on her phone and handed it over to him. "Do you recognize this man?"

The man in the photo was the one manipulating Ashley, the very person Freya was determined to confront.

Kristian studied the image, his eyes narrowing as he pondered. After a few moments, he shook his head. "I

don't know him."

“He's the one manipulating Ashley," Freya explained. "The first time, he had her steal Shaw Group's trade secrets. The second time, he intended to kill you."
