Chapter 267 Insulting Lawrence To His Face

Kristian waved Lawrence off with a dismissive gesture, silently telling him to move aside, then turned to Freya.

"You should go on ahead. I have a few things I need to settle with him."

"He's nothing but trouble," Freya warned, her eyes narrowing.

Lawrence gave a dry chuckle, slipping one hand into his pocket. "Ms. Briggs, isn't

it a tad impolite to badmouth someone right to their face?"

Freya met his smirk with a cool stare. "And isn't it worse to kick someone when they're already down?"

Lawrence quirked a brow, genuinely intrigued by Freya, who seemed to speak as though she knew him.

"Have we met before?"

"No. We haven't." She had no intention of engaging with him any further.

There was no need to reveal her true identity as K.

"Then why the hostility?" His voice lingered in the air. "Didn't I just save your life?”

Freya didn't respond.

As much as she loathed the idea, he wasn't wrong.

"You think you saved her life?" Kristian suddenly cut in.

Lawrence kept up his easy smile, though he rolled his eyes at Kristian inwardly.

"I was wrong. It was he who saved her."

"You should head back, Freya," Kristian said. A sudden wave of dizziness overtook him, his vision beginning to blur, a sharp ringing rising in his ears. "I'll reach out once I'm better. He still needs a favor from me-he won't just leave me to die."

He nudged Lawrence with his elbow.
