?Chapter 551:


    “No,” Freya said. “Not?”


    “Because you’re my… treasure.”


    “Pfft!” Farrah couldn’t help it. She burst intoughter.


    Freya looked at her, confused. “Did I say something weird?”


    “No, not weird,” Farrah said, poking Freya’s cheek with a teasing smile. “Just didn’t expect something that cheesy from you. It’s too cute.”


    Freya gave her a light flick on the forehead. “You really need to work on yourpliments.”


    Farrah just giggled.


    Freya didn’t linger any longer after that.


    She gave some final instructions to both Farrah and the bodyguards before heading out.


    By the time she arrived back at herpany, it was already noon. Melvin had wrapped up his tasks and ordered lunch.


    As they ate together, Melvin looked like he had something on his mind.


    He kept pausing, starting to speak, and then stopping.


    Freya caught on quickly. “You’ve got something to say, don’t you?”


    “Gerard’s been digging into me,” Melvin said, his face serious. “Actually, it’s Kristian doing the digging.”


    Freya set her utensils down. “I know.”


    Thest time Kristian had shown up like that, it was clearly after checking into Melvin’s background. But she couldn’t quite figure out what Kristian was really looking for.


    “No, you don’t,” Melvin corrected her. “He’s not snooping around my personal life. He’s investigating whichpany I used to work for.”


    gα ? ησ ν?? ??s has it all


    Freya’s eyes narrowed slightly. Then, without hesitation, she made a decision. “Let him dig if he wants to.”


    “No confidentiality concerns?”


    “None. Just let him find what he’s looking for.”


    Kristian probably wanted to know where Melvin had worked in order to see if she’d been his boss.


    But at this point, whether he found out or not didn’t matter to her. Since Freya hadn’t taken any steps to block it, Gerard’s investigation went off without a hitch.


    Within a few days, he had all the information on Melvin.


    When Kristian learned that Melvin had worked for Anita International Group, he instantly made a bold conclusion: Freya owned thepany. Gerard was a bit thrown off by how quickly he jumped to that.


    “What made you so sure Ms. Briggs owns Anita International?”


    Kristian answered without missing a beat. “Freya’s mom’s name is Anita.”


    If Melvin were just some part-timer, he wouldn’t have that kind of understanding with Freya.


    The clincher was Gerard’s mention of Melvin’s boss being on a two-year sabbatical, which lined up perfectly with the two years Freya had been married to Kristian.


    “So what now?” Gerard asked, cutting straight to the point.
