Chapter 252 A Will
Gerard was stunned, frozen in place by the sheer weight of what he'd just heard.
He wanted to speak up, to say something, but the fear of Freya overhearing held him back. Instead, he quietly
repositioned Kristian's hand.
"Wait for me-I'm heading over now," Kristian muttered anxiously.
"Just listen first," Freya urged over the phone, her voice calm but firm. "Don't rush into anything."
Kristian's heart thundered in his chest, breath coming quicker. "Go on."
"lI won't be in danger if I'm taken. The one they're after is you," she explained, laying things out clearly. "Once I'm
taken, he'll definitely reach out and demand that you csave me."
She hadn't expected things to spiral this fast.
She couldn't begin to guess what that man was planning.
"You can't be taken away," Kristian said, his voice laced with dread.
"I have to. It's the only way to make our plan work." Freya detailed her strategy to
Kristian in full. "But there's one thing | need you to remember."
"What is it?"
"Trust me," she said softly.
Kristian fell silent, his thoughts spinning.
Freya stared down at the plans marked A, B, and C, the weight of it all sinking in.
"I know it's hard for you, but whatever happens, | need you to follow my lead and always trust me."
"Will you be in danger?" That was all Kristian could bring himself to ask.
"No," Freya answered flatly. "But that man might try to scare you with fake information. | need you to promise
you won't give in."
Kristian's head was already in chaos.
The fever he hadn't quite shaken off made everything feel heavier, and now this-it was too much.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Freya. He just couldn't bring himself to leave Freya with that mysterious man.
"Kristian, are you listening?"
"lam."
"Will you trust me?" she asked again.

Chapter 252 A Will
"1 will."
"All you need to do is confront him and buytwo days. I'll take care of the rest.
My friends are backingFreya tried her best to make it all crystal clear.
Kristian could barely form the words. "Okay."
"Just trust me," Freya repeated.
"1 will."
He didn't even know how the call had ended.
Freya was about to walk into danger, and he was powerless to stop it.
He wanted to intervene, but doing so would déstroy her plan. But if he didn't... what if something went wrong?
His head swam with thoughts.
After wrestling with himself for what felt like forever, he picked up his phone, found
a number, hesitated, then hit call.
After a few rings, the voice on the other end answered with a playful edge. "Mr. Shaw? What's got you calling
"Does your offer still stand?" Kristian asked, straight to the point.
"Of course."
"If you helpwith one thing, I'll accept your terms." Kristian's face was all business, his tone colder than ever.
"But if you screw up, the deal's off."
"No problem. Just tellwhat needs to be done."
Kristian offered a silent apology to Freya, then laid out his request and what he needed in exact terms.
The person on the other end of the phone agreed instantly.
The call ended.
Kristian set the phone down.
It felt hot-whether from the call or his feverish skin, he wasn't sure.
"Sir..." Gerard was watching him closely, sensing something was off.
"Get Colson White here," Kristian ordered, his gaze dark as night. "Tell him to cnow."
Gerard had no idea what Kristian was planning, but he didn't question it and went to contact Colson, the lawyer.
Half an hour later, Colson walked into the hospital room.
Seeing Kristian hooked up to an IV, his brows rose. "You're actually sick?"
"Let's get straight to it," Kristian cut in, wasting no time.

Chapter 252 A Will
Colson sat down, placing his briefcase beside him.
Gerard, realizing a serious conversation was about to unfold, quickly grabbed water for them.
But when he returned and saw what Colson had pulled out, his eyes went wide.
Was that a will?
Gerard's mind reeled. "Why are you drafting a will all of a sudden?"
"It's nothing serious," Kristian replied, voice faint and lips barely moving. "It's something that needs to be done
eventually so why not now?"
Gerard was completely shocked. Kristian didn't even have kids, and he was already thinking about a will?
Even though it baffled him, Gerard knew better than to pry too much.
What shocked him most was seeing that Kristian had divided his assets-half for Freya, and the rest for Isaac
and Melinda.
An hour later, Kristian signed the documents.
Everything was finalized.
Once Colson left, Gerard couldn't hold it in any longer. "Did something happen?"
Was it tied to that call from earlier?
"You didn't make a life-for life deal with that person, did you?" The very idea
made Gerard shocked to the core.
If that was the case, he needed to stop him.
"Use your brain," Kristian
said flatly, clearly unimpressed. "If it were a life-for-life deal, | would've just made
it with the one kidnapping Freya. Why go through all this extra trouble?"

"Then why..."
"It's just future planning," Kristian answered simply.
Gerard's lips twitched. Since when did a will becpart of future planning?
Kristian paid no attention to his expression. The IV was finished, but he stayed seated on the bed.
His phone was fully charged, just in case that person tried to reach him once Freya was taken.
He had made a deal-to give Freya an extra layer of protection.
Whether her plan had holes or not, this way, she'd be safe.
Gerard suddenly recalled something important, panic creeping into his voice. "Did
you say someone kidnapped Ms. Briggs?"
"No."
"But you did."
It was just a what-if situation," Kristian muttered, barely moving his lips. The
conversation was over "From now

on, forget everything you heard and saw."
“But L.......” Gerard was genuinely worried.
He deeply admired Freya. If anything happened to her, it would be a disaster.
Kristian didn't budge. "Leave. | need rest."
Gerard had no choice but to quietly leave and sit outside in the hallway.
He thought about calling Melvin, but he didn't want to mess up Kristian's plan.
He kept wavering-unsure if Freya was truly in danger or not.
Meanwhile, Freya had already arrived at Anita International to meet with Trent and Frederick.
Right after finishing her call with Kristian, she brought them to the most secure
meeting room, locked the door behind them, and then called her four friends
overseas.
Once the group video call connected, Freya began laying out the details of her
plan.
