Chapter 693:
Without knowing why, Lawrence followed him. He was well aware that Jacob didn’t like him, but he couldn't seem
to hold himself back.
“If, as Hugh Briggs’s daughter, she doesn’t cut it, then how about K?” Jacob threw the line out with casual ease
as he neared the base’s entrance, glancing over his shoulder.
Lawrence froze mid-step.
A sharp unease tightened in his chest. He asked, carefully, “You mean Freya is K?”
Jacob didn’t answer, but the look in his eyes gave him away. Lawrence’s thoughts spun out of control.
Was this skind of absurd joke?
“K is practically elusive—how could Freya possibly be her?” Lawrence felt his entire sense of reality shift. “Isn't K
supposed to be a total shut-in? Always holed up indoors, glued to a screen?”
With that kind of money behind her, why on earth would Freya ever need to hack anything?
A girl born into that kind of wealth would've spent her childhood drowning in etiquette classes and piano lessons
—how would she even find the tto beca hacker?

Jacob didn’t dignify the question with a response. He walked away with long, determined strides, making it clear
he had no interest in conversation. Lawrence rushed after him. He couldn't let Jacob disappear before he had
answers.
Just as Jacob slid into the driver's seat and reached to close the door, Lawrence swung open the passenger side
and slipped in.
“Get out.” Jacob shot him a look that could've frozen steel.
Lawrence felt the chill in his bones but shamelessly stayed where he was. “Just a couple of questions. Once |
understand, I'll leave. | swear, | won't bother you again.”

Jacob’s demeanor stayed icy, a wall that warned people to keep their distance.
“So, that night... it was Freya who took you to the hospital?” Lawrence had meant to ask something else—
something more direct about Freya's identity—but that’s what ended up slipping out.
Jacob said nothing.
In that moment, all of Lawrence’s swirling emotions quieted.
Everything becpainfully clear.
He had misunderstood. Jacob was still single.
“How did you find out Freya's K?” Lawrence tried again.
“That's none of your concern,” Jacob said.
Lawrence fell into silence.
Jacob was still as distant and impenetrable as ever.
“She askedto pass along a
message—if you're hiding anything
from her and she lrg can
forget akoat yefin any of those
custom devices you've been begging
for.” For once, Jacob said more than
expected. “And she'll blacklist you,
too.” The content is on
