Chapter 486:
Ashley’s nerves were already fraying when the call cin.
Remembering what Freya had told her earlier, she grabbed a different phone and started recording before

“Hello.”
The phone she was speaking into had been rigged by him. If he suspected she was recording, he'd know.
She had to use another device.
“Keep a close eye on Kristian and Freya's relationship for the tbeing,” the man’s voice cthrough slowly,

But Ashley picked up at the last second. “Hello.”
Since she'd answered, Freya got right to the point. “Has he contacted you?”
Ashley’s heart nearly stopped. What was happening? Why did it feel like everyone was watching her?
