Freya clung desperately to Alexander, the man who had pledged never to forsake her. In her hour of need, he
was her sole refuge.
Alexander cast his gaze downwards, meeting the tear-filled eyes of the woman clinging to him. Her trust in him
was unwavering, a fact mirrored in her tearful gaze. After a moment of silence, Alexander's gaze shifted, landing
on Walter who stood to the side. Their eyes locked in a silent duel, filling the room with an intangible tension.
It was a cloud of unease invisible to those outside their circle, yet its presence was undeniable. "Escort these
three out," Alexander commanded, his voice cutting through the tension. Servants promptly ushered the
designated individuals away. At Alexander's further instruction, the remaining staff vacated the room, leaving
only four individuals behind. With the room now devoid of any extraneous presence, Kaitlyn found her voice.
"Alexander, my dear, what is to be done about this situation?" "What to do?" Alexander's gaze returned to
Walter, a small smile playing on his lips. "Why not ask your brother-in-law? He may have a better idea." At this,
Freya turned her attention to Walter.
Walter's eyes flickered, and he chuckled lightly. "Oliver, what advice could | possibly offer? Freya has keptin
the dark about all this. I'm as surprised as everyone else."
"Is that so? Then how did Xavier manage to find these three? I'm quite curious." Alexander's voice was laced

obsessed with avenging his wife and child. It's not surprising he could find those people." Alexander nodded
thoughtfully.
"Indeed. So, brother-in-law, your wife is about to face jail time. Don't you have anything to say about that?"
Walter hesitated, momentarily at a loss for words. After a pause, he admitted, "Honestly, | don't know what to do.
I'd like to hear Oliver's thoughts."

"After all, Freya trusts you more than anyone right now." Neither man was willing to show any weakness,
regarding each other with resolve. Freya was now a double-edged sword; skillfully handled, she could drag the
opponent down with her; mishandled, she could cause her own downfall."Oh, stop beating around the bush, both
of you! Think of something!"
Kaitlyn urged anxiously. "Mom, it's simple," Alexander said coolly. "Either Freya or Dad has to take the fall. You
decide."Freya blurted out, "I can't go in..."Kaitlyn hesitated, torn between her husband and her daughter. The
choice was agonizing. "Mom," Freya called out deeply, appealing to Kaitlyn's maternal instinct.Kaitlyn looked
uncomfortably at Freya."There are plenty of other women out there for him, but only one daughter, "Freya
added.
That line crumbled Kaitlyn's defenses, and she collapsed into her chair, her posture signaling a decision
made.Freya then turned her flickering gaze to Walter as if to say, if he didn't support her, then the identity of the
one betraying her needed no guessing. Walter stared intensely at Freya, his expression showing the faintest
crack."Walter, are you on my side?" Freya asked, her voice shaky.Walter stared at her for a long moment before
finally offering a slight smile. "Of course," he said.
A smirk pulled at Alexander's lips.
"Isn't that what you wanted?"The smile on Walter's face did not quite reach his eyes.
In fact, it flickered with a trace of malice.
Alexander withdrew his hand and walked slowly up to Walter, his own smile in place. "Brother-in-law, take some
care with your wife, will you? Handle it well."
