Chapter 755:
“Didn’t you say she wouldn't pry?” Kristian’s voice was heavy with insinuation, his words drawn out with a hint of
accusation.
Gerard was quick to defend himself, the words tumbling out in a nervous rush. “It’s a misunderstanding! It’s not
what you're thinking,” he assured, his voice tinged with urgency. “Normally, when you receive such a message,
the natural response is to inquire about the discussion’s content.”
Kristian considered calling him out on his bluff but paused, realizing Gerard might actually be making sense.
He extended his hand imperiously. “Giveyour phone.”
“But...” Gerard's protest was feeble.
“Hand it over,” Kristian stated firmly.
“Please, just don’t send anything odd,” Gerard pleaded under his breath, his reluctance clear as he handed over
his phone with trepidation.
In that moment, a chilling thought struck him. Was Kristian exhibiting signs of a split personality? The man
before him seemed utterly transformed, his demeanor unnervingly peculiar.
Kristian paid no mind to whatever wild thoughts were swirling in Gerard's head. Instead, he kept tapping briskly
on the keyboard, his fingers moving with casual ease as he fired off a message. “He was asking about your
history with him. Since his mental maturity is stuck at a five-year-old’s level, | figured Id spare him the details
about your marriage and divorce.”

Freya responded with a curt, “OK.”
Another message popped up on her screen. “Ms. Briggs, | find myself in need of a small favor.”
“Go ahead,” Freya typed back, her curiosity piqued.
Kristian’s message continued with a tinge of concern, “I believe Mr. Shaw might be harboring sdeep
insecurities. Just earlier, when | informed him that you two weren't actually related by blood, his expression
crumbled as if he'd been left utterly alone in the world. Could you perhaps offer him a bit more of your
attention?”

Out of the corner of his eye, Gerard caught a glimpse of the message. His gaze fixed on the screen, a mix of
shock flickering across his face as he pondered Kristian’s audacity.
Was this really an act Kristian would stoop to?
“Mr. Shaw,” Gerard felt compelled to confront the issue. “Don’t you think this sort of manipulation is
inappropriate?”
Kristian merely glanced over, his expression untroubled. “What's wrong with it?”
Gerard countered with a frankness that brooked no argument. “Deception is the very thing she despises most.”
