him to return the stolen funds," Wayne instructed. "Understood," Alexander replied.
With a dismissive wave of his hand, Wayne said, "That will be all. Bring Walter to me."
Alexander acknowledged with a slight nod before turning to leave the room.
Meanwhile, Walter was downstairs engaged in conversation with Freya. Upon seeing Alexander descend the
staircase, they both rose to their feet. Freya was particularly anxious, fearing that Walter might have been
expelled or, even worse, imprisoned. Such an event would shatter her romantic fantasies.
"What's going on, Alex?" Freya inquired.
"Walter, Dad wants to see you in the study," Alexander relayed.
Freya's heart fluttered with apprehension as she clutched Walter's hand. "Are you certain everything's okay?"
she asked. She had accidentally overheard their father's phone conversation earlier, which had left her feeling
uneasy. Walter offered her a reassuring pat on the hand. "It's nothing. I'll be right back, don't worry." With that,
he withdrew his hand and ascended the staircase.
"Alex, you must help Walter. He's been nothing but loyal to the company for years, never faltering in his work, as
you well know," Freya implored, her eyes pleading.
Alexander glanced at her impassively. "Don't worry, he won't be in trouble for now."
"For now? What does that mean?" Freya pressed.

Freya behind.
In her anxiety, Freya paced the room restlessly, repeatedly reaching out to Kaitlyn for support, much to the
latter's annoyance. Kaitlyn's perspective was simple: as long as her son was safe, she had little concern for
others.
Half an hour later, Walter reappeared downstairs. His expression was unchanged, giving no hint of what had
transpired in the study. Freya quickly approached him, asking, "How did it go?"
"I need to step out for a bit. I'll fill you in when I return," Walter replied with a smile. He affectionately ruffled her
hair before departing.
A baby's cry soon distracted Freya, leaving her no choice but to attend to her son.
As soon as Walter was out of sight, his smile evaporated. He found a secluded spot and pulled out his phone to
make a call. The call was answered promptly, but the other end remained silent, seemingly waiting for Walter to
initiate the conversation.
"You moved that quickly? The investments in those firms, have you drained the funds?" Walter asked.
There was a brief pause before the voice on the other end replied, "Would you believeif | said it wasn't me?"
