She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 213

Chapter 213 Kristian

Attacked Melvin

"Why are you here?" Gerard asked, his voice tight. He could feel the chill radiating from Kristian, a wave of unease creeping up his spine. "Is that... Ms. Briggs?"

Gerard blinked in disbelief. What in the world' was Melvin doing here with Freya? And Freya... she looked

completely out of it-drunk or something even worse.

"Hand her over to me." Kristian closed the distance with long, deliberate strides, eyes sharp and presence intimidating, every inch of him radiating authority.

"No chance," Melvin shot back. "I've got business with my boss."

"What kind of business brings you to a hotel?" Kristian's tone was biting, a flicker of relief crossing his features

as he realized he'd arrived just in time. "You think I don't know what you're up to?"

Kristian knew exactly how much trust Freya placed in her assistant. And yet, Melvin had tossed it away-for

cash.

Melvin's confusion was written all over his face.

Gerard, sensing the tension twist even tighter, stepped in. "Hold on, Mr. Shaw. Maybe this is just a mix-up?"

"Either walk away now, or I'll have you hauled off to the police station to sort it out," Kristian threatened, his

glare as cold and sharp as a blade.

Melvin stood frozen, caught in the headlights.

If he explained, the cameras would betray him.

If he stayed quiet, he was headed straight for trouble with his boss, no less.

"Call the police, Gerard."

"Mr. Shaw..."

"Call the police!"

"There has to be a mistake," Gerard said, reading the atmosphere and trying to keep the peace. "Melvin's not that kind of guy."

Kristian turned that cutting glare onto Gerard, making him break into a nervous sweat.

All Gerard could do was tug at Melvin's sleeve. "Come on, say something." Kristian kicked Melvin square in the side, not holding back in the slightest.
