"Where did these come from?" Freya asked, her gaze fixed on the photos Trent had placed before her.
While she harbored no genuine interest in Ashley's personal affairs, the fact that Trent deliberately showed her these
photographs suggested he had something meaningful to convey.
"A business partner gave them to me," Trent replied candidly, making no attempt to hide the truth. "He mentioned someone had
approached him to issue a press statement and fabricate stories based on these images."
Freya's brow furrowed slightly as she contemplated the implications.
She was well aware that Ashley worked as a model.
Unfortunately, Ashley lacked proper motivation and consistently sought the path of least resistance in her career. This approach
had resulted in her limited fame within the industry.
Freya understood that obscurity provided no shield against public scrutiny. Even relatively unknown individuals could suddenly
find themselves at the center of a social media storm. Once that happened, internet users would methodically unearth every
personal detail, right down to their residential address.
"Do you want to return to Alerith?" Trent inquired, noting that she had processed the situation. "There's a midnight flight with
seats still available."
Freya looked at him with genuine confusion. "Why would I?"
"If my assessment is accurate, Kristian already knows about your hacking abilities," Trent explained, having carefully analyzed
Freya's predicament. "The moment Ashley's scandal erupts, you'll become his primary suspect."
"If I suddenly depart, his suspicions would only intensify," Freya responded, demonstrating her clear grasp of
the situation.
Trent studied her face carefully.
Treya provided her definitive answer. "He has falsely accused me numerous times already. Whether I remain here or flee to
Alerith, as long as he harbors doubts, he'll inevitably create problems for me."
Furthermore, she was still waiting for her divorce proceedings to conclude.
Time had once seemed to rush past her, with entire years vanishing in what felt like moments.
Now, paradoxically, each day stretched endlessly, making thirty days of waiting feel like several arduous years. "Would you like
me to track down whoever is behind this?" Trent offered, possessing h-l

Trend's expression revealed germine astonishment

Kristian had gathered with Felipe and Zander, sharing with them the evidence Brera inat uncovered
After listening attentively to Kristian's account, Felipe fasited a mischierus sumie mancaning is characteristic nonchalance. "You

Kristian turned his attention toward him
Felipe elaborated on his perspective, "You mentioned she possesses backing stils. Faricating entence would be elementary for

Kristian replied, "You've just identified the key point yourself the supposedly take enitence las sophistication."
Knowing Freya's meticulous character, if she genuinely intended to falsity evidence, she would undoubtedly create something
impeccable.
The evidence before them contained obvious flaws that invited suspicion.
"What was the police response?" Zander, who had remained quiet until now, finally spoke
“No definitive answer yet. Apprehending the suspect likely presents challenges, Kristian replied, his eyes darkening with
concern.
Ashley's situation had proven far more complicated than he had initially anticipated "Despite having recordings and digital
correspondence, securing a conviction becomes difficult if the suspect insists it was merely a joke.”
"Is this relatively minor matter truly worth summoning us? Felipe poured himself a drink, his mischievous demeanor evident as
he added, "Simply ensure Ashley has adequate security personnel for protection"
From his perspective, Kristian merely worried about the mastermind targeting Ashley again
Zander posed an unexpected question "Are you genuinely planning to divorce Freya?"
Kristian appeared momentarily stunned
Felipe also registered surprise. He raised an eyebrow, draping himself lazily across the sofa before conte
"His true love has returned. If he doesn't divorce Freya, how could he marry Ashley?"
"This isn't some trivial game," Zander remarked, finding Kristian's approach problematic and, as a friend, felt compelled to
address it. "If you're divorcing Freya simply because Ashley has reappeared in your life, I cannot support such a decision."
Before Kristian could formulate a response, Felipe interjected sharply, "Have you completely lost your mind, Zander?"
"In the past, your relationship exhibited remarkable stability, revealing genuine compatibility," Zander continued, deliberately
ignoring Felipe. "Have you truly considered whether your attraction to Ashley stems from lingering memories of the past or
appreciation for who she truly is now?"
Sometimes, he reflected, people clung to relationships not because love remained, but because they valued the emotional
investment they had already poured into that connection.
"Do you know her well?" Kristian suddenly challenged, his voice cutting through the tension.
Zander found himself momentarily disoriented by the question. “What?”
"You claimed Freya and I are compatible. In what specific ways?" Kristian's words carried an unmistakable chill, his deteriorating
mood evident as he continued, "The last two years of our marriage appeared peaceful and harmonious on the surface, but it was
merely an elaborate performance."
Zander's confusion deepened with each passing moment.
Kristian rose to his feet, speaking about Freya with palpable frustration. "Since the moment I mentioned divorce, she has
revealed her true nature, completely contradicting her previous persona."
"Won't you regret it if you proceed with this divorce?" Zander persisted, his compassionate eyes carefully observing his friend's
reactions.
As someone who knew Kristian well, he recognized that Freya occupied a unique
position in Kristian's emotional landscape.
This typically reserved man rarely displayed strong emotions, yet anything
concerning Freya consistently disrupted his composure.
Kristian nearly laughed with exasperation at the question.
For the first time, he confronted the issue directly and retorted, "What possible reason would I have for regret?" "Freya
possesses exceptional qualities," Zander replied simply, unable to articulate his thoughts more precisely. "What you perceive is
merely what she deliberately allows you to see," Kristian responded, his anger intensifying. "My understanding of her character
surpasses any of yours."
Why did everyone insist on suggesting he would experience regret? His comprehension of Freya's nature extended far deeper
than anyone else's.
Zander fell silent, at a loss for words.
Kristian's agitation had visibly increased once again.
"I will experience no regret whatsoever regarding this divorce," Kristian continued,
seemingly addressing both Zander and himself simultaneously.
