Chapter 123:
Freya’s thoughts raced through possibilities before she reached a resolution. “Regardless of what I say, you’ve already decided I’m guilty, haven’t you?”
“Precisely,” Kristian confirmed without hesitation.
Freya locked eyes with him unflinchingly. “What if I can prove my innocence?”
He remained silent, but his expression and piercing gaze conveyed his unshakable conviction: “You orchestrated this. There is no other explanation.”
“If I prove my innocence, you will sincerely apologize and make appropriate reparations,” Freya declared, finally reaching her breaking point.
Kristian’s voice cut through the air like ice. “Conversely, if you fail to prove your innocence, you will sincerely apologize and make proper amends to Ashley.”
Gerard’s anxiety intensified exponentially. Was this confrontation truly necessary?
Freya broke her challenging gaze with Kristian and calmly addressed Gerard. “May I use your laptop?”
“Give it to her,” Kristian commanded.
Gerard complied immediately.
Freya powered on the device. As the screen lit up, Gerard prepared to share the password.
What happened next astonished him. With just two swift keystrokes, Freya unlocked the system.
Gerard stared at her in utter disbelief.
Kristian’s brow furrowed slightly.
Freya positioned the laptop on the table, adjusted her seating, and began searching for the information.

No one noticed the brief flash of the letter “K” on the screen’s left margin—Freya’s code name, the signature of the “King of Hackers.”
She had avoided using this particular skill.
However, given the circumstances, without uncovering the truth, these false accusations would persist indefinitely.
While Freya conducted her investigation, Frederick remained vigilant. After a sleepless night spent gathering information for her, he had tried to rest but true sleep eluded him. He rose after only minimal rest. Upon seeing Freya’s message, he prepared to respond when suddenly a “K” flashed across his laptop screen. Frederick’s eyes widened dramatically.
Incredible!
Had Freya returned to her operational status?
He reached for his phone, intending to inquire about the situation, but stopped himself mid-action. Freya was clearly engaged in critical work, and any interruption might break her concentration. He couldn’t risk calling.
Yet curiosity consumed him. What extraordinary circumstances could have compelled Freya to resume her activities at this particular moment?
After careful thought, he decided to share this development with others familiar with Freya’s hacker identity.
Frederick typed excitedly, “Attention, everyone! I have momentous news. Freya has resumed operations! The legendary K has returned!”
Greta scoffed, “You’re dreaming.”
