?Chapter 329:


    Vivien’s face contorted in shock as realization dawned. “You mean she’s involved with him in that way?”


    Edwin nodded solemnly, as if delivering a cold, hard fact. “Yes.”


    Vivien recoiled, her mind racing. “But he’s too old for her!” Her voice was harsh, yet there was genuine confusion beneath the surface.


    “In their line of work, financial incentives tend to trump age differences,” Edwin mused, studying Freya’s face. She was undeniably attractive. “Honestly, even if he were seventy, I wouldn’t be surprised if she made a move on him.”


    Vivien recoiled in disgust.


    Freya had been listening intently, her face unreadable. When they finished speaking, she turned to Melvin and calmly asked, “Done recording?”


    “Yes,” Melvin replied, his tone as professional as ever.


    “Good,” Freya said. “Tomorrow,pile the evidence and file awsuit against Edwin Newman for defamation and libel. We’ll pursue criminal charges.”


    Melvin nodded, his expression serious. “Understood.”


    Edwin’s face fell. If Freya was indeed involved with Hugh, then taking him to court would be an open-and-shut case. He couldn’t let that happen.


    “I didn’t nder anyone!” Edwin protested, stepping forward to block their path, his voice rising. “Everything I said was the truth!”


    Freya didn’t spare him another nce. Her voice sliced through the air, sharp and resolute. “Tell that to the judge.”


    With that, she turned and walked away, her steps purposeful. She was sure Edwin would send someone to follow her, but she was waiting for the perfect moment to strike. She believed it would only strengthen her case.


    “Stop right there!” Edwin called, trying to catch up, but he was too slow. Vivien, still confused, asked, “Uncle, why are you so upset? If it’s all true, let her sue.”


    ???????? ?????? ?????????????? ????????: g???????ν????????????


    Edwin’s face twisted with panic. “You don’t understand. Without evidence, it’ll look like I’m lying!”


    He had no idea whether Freya and Kristian were involved, nor did he know if Freya had anything to do with Hugh. He remembered her mentioning she had once been Ethel’s bodyguard, and it was possible that Hugh had fired Vivien because of Ethel’s influence.


    Flustered, Edwin knew he couldn’t just sit back and wait to be sued. Thinking quickly, he told Vivien he had something urgent to attend to, then made a call to track Freya’s car and gather reinforcements.


    Meanwhile, Freya and Melvin drove at a leisurely pace, fully aware they were being followed. The tailing group exchanged whispers.


    “Who are we following for Mr. Newman?” one of them asked.


    “Could it be someone important?”


    “I think that car alone is worth a fortune.”


    “Should we keep following?”


    “Yes!”


    Freya, ever calm, finally spoke. “We’re not going back to thepany today. Let’s head to the residence I rarely stay at.”


    “You were at thepany for less than an hour today,” Melvin pointed out as he steered the car.


    Freya paused, contemting. “I’ll make sure to stay a full day tomorrow.”
