Freya paused, her voice filled with uncertainty. "Me? What can | do?"
"You own shares, don't you? Liquidate them and use the proceeds to cover Walter's deficit."
Her eyes widened slightly as she mulled over his proposition.
'My shares... They're my bargaining chip within the Kennedy family. Selling them would leavewith nothing,"
she contemplated internally.
Alexander reclined, nonchalantly toying with a coffee Sebastian, his gaze unwaveringly fixed on her. "Unwilling to
let them go? Then there's nothing we can do. It appears he's not as important to you as you claim." Freya was
conflicted. "But the shares | possess... they're not that valuable."
"Regardless of their worth, they can fill a portion of the gap. We can figure out the rest later, can't we?"
She gnawed at her lip, her expression the epitof anguish. On one hand, she had her stake in the family
enterprise, and on the other, the man she cherished. It was a choice that tormented her.
"I need to ponder over it," Freya confessed, unable to make an immediate decision.
"Take your time, but remember, tis running out," he cautioned. "If you delay, Walter might vanish any day
now, and then you'll lose him forever."
Freya blinked, her determination to sell her shares faltering slightly.
"But who would | sell to? Who can produce that kind of money instantly?" she queried.
"Just give it sthought. | can assist you," Alexander offered.
Freya peered into his eyes, but they were enigmatic, like the depths of a tranquil lake that she couldn't

After a moment of silence, Freya clenched her teeth, shut her eyes, and drew a deep breath, "I'll have an answer
for you by tomorrow."
A smile tugged at the corners of Alexander's lips, but he remained silent.
Freya couldn't remain seated any longer. She collected the heap of documents on the table and rose to leave.
Alexander cautioned her, "Keep this to yourself, Walter included. If Dad gets wind of this, you know the
consequences."
Freya stiffened, her grip on the documents tightening. She then quickly turned and exited the room.
It was past four in the afternoon when Alexander made his way to the office.
Upon reaching his office, Ruby entered promptly, "Alexander."
He skimmed through the files on his desk and casually inquired, "Where's the data on those companies?"
"I had the others compile it. I'll have it brought over," Ruby responded, picking up the inteand dialing,
"Quinn, the files | asked you to arrange this morning? If they're ready, print them and bring them here directly.
Don't send them to me. Alexander needs them immediately."
Hearing Quinn's ncaused Alexander to momentarily pause.
Ruby hung up the phone and said with a smile, "Oh, | just wanted to inform you that Quinn cto work today.
She seemed to have nothing to do, so I assigned her ssimple tasks. It's not good for her to appear so
unoccupied." Alexander's expression remained impassive as he replied indifferently, "That's your department's
concern. You don't need to report to me."
"Alright, | won't report to you in the future," Ruby retorted, glancing at him as he continued to rummage through
his desk, "Alexander, are you searching for something else?" "A box."
