MainNovelChapter 480:
Freya knocked on the door when he didn’t reply.
She knocked again. And again. For two whole minutes. Inside, Kristian battled with himself.
Finally, when he could barely hold on, he ground out, “Are you ready to deal with the consequences if | open this
door?” If she was going to insist, then he wouldn't stop.
“Just open the door. Stop wasting time,” Freya said, her brows knitting together.
At that, the bathroom door flung open. Kristian stood there in a loose bathrobe, breath ragged, eyes blazing with
heat.
The second he saw Freya's delicate, flushed face, something inside him snapped.
He took a step forward, mind blank except for one raging impulse.
But before he could act, Freya struck hard at the back of his head. There was a dull thud, and Kristian crumpled
to the floor—unconscious.
After dealing with the immediate danger, Freya hoisted Kristian onto the bed with a firm but careful touch.
Right up until the moment he lost consciousness, he never once suspected that she'd lured him in just to knock
him out cold and quietly eliminate him as a potential threat.
For Freya, the top priority now was to hunt down the source of that intoxicating scent and the signal jammers
planted around the room. If she stayed here too long without doing so, she knew full well that she'd eventually

Letting Kristian continue his cold shower might've worked—assuming he kept his composure. But if he snapped
and cout mid-meltdown, she'd have to waste more energy just to knock him out again. It was far wiser to
handle the situation early and keep herself safe. Over the next hour, Freya combed through the room with
painstaking care.

Her diligence paid off. She discovered four separate sources of the strange scent—hidden inside the TV, the
speaker system, and other gadgets with vents or heat outlets. Once she cracked them open, it was obvious
they'd been tampered with.
As for the signal jammers, there were three in total.
Whoever had set them up had done an impressive job hiding them. If Freya hadn't found the placement of a few
decorations suspicious, she never would've guessed their true nature.
Thankfully, she found no hidden surveillance devices.
Once those concerns were handled, she used a damp towel and tissues to seal off the scent and shut down the
jammers.
She then double-checked every piece of equipment to confirm nothing was being remotely accessed. At last, she
sank into the sofa for a brief moment of rest. With a few quiet moments to herself, she began putting the puzzle
pieces together.
