HappyNovelChapter 530:
“Go on,” Kristian responded, keeping his reply brief, as always.
“Melvin was bribed with close to one billion dollars,” the man continued, his voice crisp and urgent. “He's
planning to drug Ms. Briggs tonight and take her to a hotel room where four dangerous men are waiting.”
The frost in Kristian’s tone turned to ice. His gaze sharpened like a blade. “Givethe address and room
number.”
“It's the hotel where you're dining tonight, Room 2309,” the man replied quickly.
Kristian was about to hang up and storm out when the voice added, “We don’t know if there are any cameras in
the room.”
“Understood.”
Kristian’s voice was like ice. He ended the call and stood abruptly, walking away without a word to anyone. No
one dared to make a sound in his wake.
Even if someone had a complaint, they swallowed it. In this world, Kristian’s word was law, and no one wanted to

Gerard, watching Kristian leave without so much as a glance back, forced a bitter smile. He had no choice but to

ahead of the storm, he asked, “Was there something urgent you had to take care of?”
Kristian didn’t reply. Instead, he strode directly toward the door of the private room Freya and Melvin had gone
into earlier. Without hesitation, he raised his foot, clearly about to kick the door open.
Gerard caught him just in time.
“You can’t do that!” he blurted, panic creeping into his voice. He had jumped to conclusions, assuming Kristian
was acting out of jealousy over Freya dining with Melvin. “If you barge in like this, Ms. Briggs is going to hate you
even more than she already does!”
“As if she’s ever liked me.” Kristian’s voice was flat, edged with bitterness.
Gerard stood there for a moment, stunned. Well, at least Kristian had sself-awareness.
Still gripping Kristian’s arm, Gerard tried to reason with him. “Letknock first. Just wait here, alright?”
Kristian’s brows furrowed, but he didn’t object. Gerard sighed and knocked on the door, feeling a swirl of mixed
