Chapter 715:
He knew Kristian well. There was no telling what kind of mess that would stir up.
But Freya wasn't just anyone. She was K, someone with a reputation Lawrence couldn't afford to antagonize.
A migraine started to bloom behind his temples.
After weighing his options, he gave her an alternative. “How about this? | can show you Kristian’s medical
reports, but | can’t let you visit him.”
“I don’t need to,” Freya replied coolly, phone in hand. She didn’t want to make things difficult for him. “Ellis
Lambert will see him.”
Lawrence froze. Could it really be the Ellis Lambert he knew?
Lawrence didn’t say a word on the other end of the line, so Freya asked again, “Is Kristian awake now?”
“He woke up for a little while this morning, but he’s out cold again.” Lawrence was fabricating the story as he
spoke. There was no chance he'd tell her what was really going on. “I'll give you an update once his condition
evens out. Maybe you can swing by then?”
“You're hiding something from me.” Her voice was steady, unshakably certain.

He knew better than anyone—K was no ordinary person.
“How could | be?” His tone stayed calm, not a hint of tension in it. “If my word's not good enough for you, you're
welcto dig into it yourself. Someone with your talents wouldn't have any trouble finding the truth.”
Freya didn’t say anything.
Lawrence's palm was damp with sweat where it gripped the phone. He was playing a risky game, banking on the
chance that Freya wouldn't resort to hacking that easily.
The K he knew wouldn't pull those tricks unless the situation was truly dire. But if she did, she’d unravel
everything in seconds.
“How's he healing from the injuries?” she asked instead, dropping the earlier subject.

“The stitches cout tomorrow. He's doing fine.” Lawrence didn’t bother hiding this part from her. “No need to
worry. I'll make sure he’s looked after.”
“I'll cover,” Freya said.
“What?” That caught Lawrence off guard.
Why was she still coming?
“I'm just going as a representative of his family to check up on him,” Freya explained. “Kristian’s father needs
regular updates on his condition.”
“Alright,” Lawrence agreed, trying to sound casual.
After the call ended, Freya and Ellis made their way straight to Lawrence's medical facility.
Lawrence, meanwhile, got busy making a few swift arrangements.
