Chapter 253 Ellis Discovered Their Plan

"Is there anything else we need to add?" Freya asked her friends, her tone steady.

Everyone fell quiet, mulling it over. "No," came the collective reply, resolute and assured.

"You've practically covered every angle in that plan of yours-and you've got not one, but two backup plans lined up," Greta said, her voice tinged with admiration. She'd never once questioned the razor-sharp precision of Freya's mind. "There won't be any surprises we haven't accounted for."

"But there's still one thing I haven't thought through," Freya confessed, her words slipping out in a low

murmur.

They had come face-to-face with that man before. They knew the way he moved, the way he thought.

But knowing someone's patterns didn't mean you knew their depths.

Trent leaned forward, curiosity sparking in his eyes. "What is it?”

"The chance that he might try to drag us down with him," Freya said after a small pause, her voice hushed but

unwavering.

"Impossible," someone blurted out.

"He values his own life more than anyone else ever could."

"Whether that's possible or not, it doesn't change a thing now," Cade said seriously, his tone heavy with warning. "If he really breaks and spirals, not even the best-laid plans will hold up."

That man's intelligence matched theirs blow for blow. He was nothing short of brilliant.

Freya gave a slight nod, acknowledging the truth in Cade's words.

"There's something else I don't understand," someone said.

"Go ahead."

"How could Kristian-just a businessman-end up on his bad side?" It was a question that still baffled Freya. "Why would he target Kristian specifically?"

According to Ashley, the man's first plan was to destroy the Shaw Group, make Kristian's empire crumble from

the inside out.

And when that failed, he went straight for the jugular-Kristian's life.

What kind of hatred ran that deep?
