Kristian's gaze lingered on Gérard's ceaselessly moving mouth, fighting the urge to silence it permanently.

He understood Freya would never resort to such tactics herself; he simply couldn't fathom why his wife had

concealed her hacking abilities all this time.

As her husband, this revelation blindsided him completely.

Witnessing Kristian's genuine irritation, Gerard joined the interrogation. "Ms. Briggs, why have you never

mentioned your hacking expertise?"

"Why should 1?" Freya countered simply.

"It could impress everyone," Gerard remarked.

Both Freya and Kristian stared back, utterly dumbfounded.

"Just a joke." Gerard recognized the awkwardness of his comment and adjusted

his glasses nervously. "It merely seems unfortunate that such remarkable talents remain unacknowledged."

"It doesn't need to be acknowledged." Freya dismissed his concern with indifference.

The fascination struck her as somewhat childish.

In her younger years, she had shared Gerard's perspective-believing individuals who cracked cases with mere

keystrokes possessed an enviable coolness.

Back then, she had dreamed of mastering these skills and becoming a formidable hacker.

As she matured, however, that romanticized vision gradually dissolved.

The information she uncovered through her abilities remained equally accessible to law enforcement, military

intelligence, and various government agencies.

By middle school, her capabilities had already reached exceptional heights, and her mentor had subsequently

withdrawn from the digital realm.

Perhaps driven by adolescent defiance or a fierce moral compass, she had investigated numerous cases

independently, forwarding her discoveries to authorities.

Delving deeper into this world revealed its most sinister corners. She stumbled upon an international site-that

notorious digital underbelly known as the Dark Web. There, she witnessed horrors and atrocities that shattered

her innocence, confronting the reality that certain individuals existed with less humanity than hell's own

demons

Following these discoveries, she semi-retired, occasionally assisting police with particularly challenging

investigations by anonymously providing crucial information.

Eventually, she recognized that whatever she discovered remained within their investigative capabilities as well

prompting her gradual withdrawal.

"It's complete," Freya announced, snapping from her reminiscence as she noticed the screen's progress.

indicator reach 100%.

She opened the newly created folder on the desktop. "The actual circumstances behind Ashley's accident are

contained here. See for yourselves."

She tilted the laptop slightly toward the men.

Gerard took control of the mouse and methodically examined each file. The process consumed an entire hour as

he absorbed all the information.

After reviewing the final document, disbelief washed over him. "This schdemonstrates extraordinary

meticulousness. A mere automobile accident conceals such an intricate conspiracy."

What astounded him most was Freya's remarkable capability.

Within such a compressed timeframe, she had obtained recorded conversations

between the orchestrator and accomplices. It was truly impressive.

"Sir, Ms. Briggs clearly had no involvement in engineering the accident," Gerard, now openly admiring Freya,

declared. "Once we deliver this evidence to authorities, her nwill be cleared immediately."

"You accept everything she presents without question?" Kristian's voice carried an icy edge.

Gerard's confusion was evident. The evidence lay plainly before them-what grounds existed for skepticism?

"Have you forgotten her hacking credentials?" Kristian maintained his frigid stare at Freya, his demeanor chilling

as he added, "Wouldn't fabricating evidence and manufacturing recordings prove trivial for someone of her

abilities?"

"You..." Gerard faltered, words abandoning him.

Kristian's dismissal cut through the room with surgical precision. "Not everything presented before you

constitutes legitimate evidence. There exists a concept known as falsification."

Freya maintained her composure, refusing to display agitation. "If an apology exceeds your capabilities, simply

acknowledge that fact. Baseless accusations serve no constructive purpose."

"Do you think being a hacker makes you special?" Kristian advanced toward her with calculated strides, hand

concealed in his pocket as he declared, "I don't believe what you're saying or any of your so-called discoveries."

Freya responded sharply, "Your belief or disbelief remains entirely irrelevant to my concerns!"

Her primary objective in uncovering this information had been twofold: clearing her reputation with law

enforcement and facilitating their pursuit of the actual orchestrator.

Without warning, Kristian reached forward and seized her chin.

This time, Freya abandoned all restraint.

She grasped his wrist with lightning efficiency and delivered a powerful kick.

The unexpected counterattack caught Kristian completely unprepared.

Gerard observed with undisguised admiration. Freya demonstrated remarkable capability!

"If you touchagain, I'll dislocate your arm." Freya's gaze turned glacial, refusing to moderate her response

toward those who demonstrated such foolishness.

Kristian's jaw tightened visibly. "Try it if you dare."

"Sure," Freya replied without hesitation.

As she prepared to advance, Gerard intervened swiftly, positioning himself between the combatants while

addressing her urgently, "Please reconsider your actions. He deliberately provokes you to react inappropriately.

Security surveillance operates throughout this area. Documentation of your response could provide him grounds

for allegations of intentional harm."

Kristian's forehead pulsed with visible veins of frustration. Gerard really needed a harsh lesson!

"Surveillance systems prove wholly inadequate against my technical expertise," Freya declared, indignation

evident in her tone.

Gerard paused momentarily.

Her assertion was undeniably accurate.

Recognizing his idol faced no genuine jeopardy, he promptly stepped aside, even offering encouragement.

"Proceed as you wish. Should he sustain significant injury, | shall summon medical assistance without delay."

For the countless tthat day, Kristian contemplated Gerard's immediate

termination. "Have you not departed yet?"

Gerard's expression reflected genuine confusion.

What destination did Kristian expect him to pursue?

"Regardless of this evidence's potentially fabricated nature, law enforcement requires explanation." Kristian

intended to resolve this situation personally with Freya and commanded, "Attend to that matter immediately."

Gerard cast a concerned glance toward Freya.

Kristian's frustration intensified exponentially.

Given Freya's demonstrated skills and evident temperament, could he truly inflict

any meaningful consequence upon her? Had Gerard completely forgotten who was paying his salary?

"Ms. Briggs enjoys considerable esteem from your grandfather. Exercise prudence in both speech and action."

Gerard collected the laptop, adding pointedly, "Furthermore, this constitutes

authentic evidence rather than fabrication"

Kristian's gaze communicated volumes.

Gerard hastily left with the laptop.

Before taking his position behind the wheel, he transmitted a message to Freya "Ms. Briggs, should my boss

exceed reasonable boundaries, please notifyimmediately, and | shall contact his grandfather."

After sending this protective offer, he realized he hadn't yet shared his excitement with others.

His friend responded, "My boss demonstrates similar talents."

Gerard countered, "My employer's wife additionally displays exceptional combat
