"Where did these cfrom?" 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 fwithin 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, inteusers 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 1?"

"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 bechis 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 accusednumerous times already. Whether | 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.

Thad 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 liketo track down whoever is behind this?" Trent offered, possessing h-I

Kristian turned his attention toward him

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 strivial 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, | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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.
