NovelGoldChapter 389:
With the message passed, Freya's gaze turned cold again as she looked at Kristian. “Are we going or not?”
Kristian felt a flicker of unease crawl beneath his skin. He knew Freya wasn’t the type to cave in this easily. But
he couldn't quite put his finger on what felt off. On the surface, it all appeared normal.
So, after a moment's pause, he chose to lead her out.
What neither of them noticed was that once they stepped out of the mall, a shadowy figure emerged from a
hidden corner—eyes glued to Freya.
In the car, Kristian and Freya sat side by side in the back seat.
Gerard was at the wheel. When he caught sight of Freya with his boss, he did a double take, as if he'd just
