MainNovelChapter 401:
Shaking off the initial shock, he steadied his voice and answered the call.
Freya leaned in, her voice a calm cascade, betraying no hint of urgency.
“Your ex wants to kill you. Are you willing to cooperate?”
Kristian stiffened, a flicker of shock flashing across his face.
Ashley, too, froze mid-motion, her eyes wide with disbelief.
The stunned expressions they wore were nearly mirror images of each other.
“Why would you want to kill me?” Kristian asked, his brows knitting together in confusion.
Gerard, who had been calmly going over sreports nearby, suddenly froze—his face drained of color, panic
creeping into his eyes. What the hell was happening? Freya wanted to kill Kristian?
“It’s not me,” Freya corrected smoothly, the cool timbre of her voice cutting through the mounting chaos. “It’s
your ex-girlfriend. She's plotting to stab you, hoping it'll land her in prison.”
That revelation struck a chord in Kristian, a nflashing through his mind like a neon sign. “Ashley?”
“Mm-hmm,” Freya affirmed.
“Not cooperating,” Kristian’s voice cut through the air, sharp and resolute.

Freya arched an eyebrow, her tone skeptical. “And why exactly would | do that?”
“If | don’t succeed, you'll be his next target,” Ashley replied, her voice tinged with urgency. She understood the
stakes all too well. “Living under his thumb is like being trapped in hell—every waking moment is a relentless
torment. Believe me, even you wouldn't last.”
Ashley’s past was a shadow that lingered in her nightmares. She was haunted by visions of serpents and chilling
scenes that played over in her mind, a constant reminder of the man whose very memory could make her skin
crawl and her body shudder with uncontrollable dread. Previously, this man had shown an unsettling interest in
Freya. Ashley knew that if she failed this time, he would certainly turn his malevolent attention toward Freya.
With a scrutinizing gaze, Freya observed Ashley, searching for any hint of a lie but found none.
Resigned, she retrieved her phone
and pulled up her chat with Trent.
