NovelGoldChapter 474:
Kristian took her silence as a confession. “If you've really moved on, why did you choose the punishment after
Liam asked you to call him?”
“Think what you want. | know where | stand,” Freya said, not in the mood to explain.
If she admitted Kristian was her first love, he'd either think she was still stuck in the past or just pretending.
Either way, what was the point?
Not wanting to waste another second, Freya used Lionel’s birthday as an excuse. “The banquet’s about to begin.
If you keep standing here with me, you'll miss your grandpa’s celebration.”
“I won't let you get involved with Cyril,” Kristian said as he walked off, still wondering if Freya had feelings for
Cyril.
Once, he'd have sworn she didn’t.
But today, she tried to exchange numbers with Cyril—something she rarely did with strangers.
Freya didn’t respond.

do with falling for a handsface. She wondered if she could ever break that pattern—or if she'd always be
one temptation away from a mistake.
Still deep in thought, Freya took out her phone and hesitated before dialing. She needed help making a choice.

Trent immediately picked up on the tension. “What's bothering you?”

“I don’t want to get tangled with Kristian again,” Freya said honestly. She always spoke freely with Trent. “Once
I'm back, | want Alan to cut off any new deals with Shaw Group.” She didn’t care about the existing ones.
Trent glanced away from his papers and adjusted his glasses. “Do what you think is best. And as for that person
—you can still work with Kristian.”
“I can’t,” Freya said. She wanted space, not more ties.
“You can handle anything,” Trent said reassuringly.
If it had been anything else, he might have told her to walk away. But he knew how much Freya wanted to bring
that man down—the one who nearly destroyed their team.
If he told her to step back now, she'd regret it.
So Trent made the call for her, knowing she just needed someone to steady her.
Freya felt a lot calmer. “Alright.”
“Did you two argue again?” Trent asked.
“Yeah,” Freya replied, brushing it off.
