Chapter 357:
“No way,” Frederick exclaimed almost instinctively, his hands spreading in a gesture of refusal. “If | were to do
that, it wouldn't just be Freya who'd never forgive me—our common friends would see it as a betrayal as well.”
His thoughts turned to Freya, her kindness and loyalty vivid in his mind. How could he betray her? He would
never do that.
“If you reconsider, I'm prepared to offer ten million dollars,” Kristian declared, eyes locked on Frederick with
quiet determination.
Frederick shook his head firmly, not a trace of hesitation in his voice. “This isn’t about money. I'm Freya's friend
—and friends don’t sell each other out like that.”
Kristian leaned in slightly, his expression unreadable. “I'm not asking you to betray her. | just want to understand
her better.”
Frederick's brows pulled together, his tone turning serious. “But she doesn’t want you to understand her. She
doesn’t even like you. To her, whatever this is—it feels like you're invading her space.” He spoke with an
unshakable earnestness, the kind that only cfrom someone young and fiercely loyal. “Being chased around
by someone you can’t stand? That's not flattering—it’s exhausting.”
Kristian’s eyes flashed with a hint of frostiness, his expression hardening.

rare sight to see someone push back against Kristian’s intimidating presence so boldly.
“And why did you believe she can’t stand me?” Kristian asked, his voice sharp as a blade, cutting through the
tense air.
“She's blocked all means of contacting her. Isn't that message clear enough?” Frederick's heart raced with
nervousness, but his belief in Freya's support gave him the courage to carry on. “Freya rarely cuts people off. If
she’s gone to that extent with you, it clearly means she wants nothing to do with you.”
Kristian’s eyes narrowed, a storm brewing behind them. “She's already unblocked me.”

Frederick paused, momentarily thrown off.
After a brief moment to gather his thoughts, he responded with calculated indifference, “That simply means
you're now insignificant to her. She doesn’t care enough to even bother blocking you anymore.” That one
sentence hit Kristian like a sucker punch straight to the chest. He remembered Freya's face as she unblocked
him, her expression devoid of emotion, her voice icy as she declared it done. That cold, detached demeanor
seemed to signal she was severing ties, wanting nothing more to do with him.
“Fifty million dollars,” Kristian stated, raising the offer without hesitation.
Frederick's response was steady, betraying no hint of temptation. “I've already said—it’s not about the money.”
“One hundred million,” Kristian countered swiftly, his voice firm.
“I can’t betray Freya,” Frederick reiterated, his loyalty unwavering.
“One billion,” Kristian said, his tone now bordering on desperation.
