Chapter 193
Freya's concerns were not unfounded; the prospect of entrusting such a vast sum of money to a stranger was indeed daunting. What if they were merely bluffing? Or worse, what if they signed a contract and then failed to pay? She would be left without recourse.
Freya sighed, her voice heavy with exhaustion. "Just make it quick," she implored. Her energy was waning, and she still had to discuss with Alexander their plans concerning the money.
"Rest assured, Miss Freya," the man reassured her. "We'll finalize the procedure within three days. I'll get started immediately." Gathering all the documents, he rose from his seat and took his leave. Once he had departed, Freya turned her attention to Alexander. "Bro, this is hardly any money at all-it's not enough. What are we going to do later?" she asked, her voice laced with worry. Alexander paused his phone fiddling and looked up at Freya. "Do you care that much about Walter?" he asked, his tone casual.
Freya retorted, her annoyance palpable. "I've even sold my shares, what do you think?"
"Is it worth it?" Alexander probed further.
"Of course, it's worth it! Anything is worth it for him!" Freya's determination was evident. Alexander couldn't help but wonder what kind of magic Walter had woven to captivate her so completely. Alexander nodded solemnly, his fingers drumming on the table in a nonchalant rhythm. "There's a way, but you might not have the courage for it."
"What way? I've already risked my own shares; what could possibly frighten me now?" Freya demanded, her curiosity piqued. "Out with it-how else can we get the money?"
A sly smile spread across Alexander's face. He leaned in, his gaze locked onto Freya's, and whispered, "You don't have it, but Dad does."
Freya's eyes widened in surprise. "What... what do you mean?"
"Dad's shares-they're worth even more, aren't they?" Alexander's words hung in the air, heavy with implication.
Freya swallowed hard, her disbelief mirrored in her wide eyes as she stared at Alexander. Her heart pounded in her chest, a sense of danger radiating from her brother for the first time in many years.

"Have you lost your mind? Dad's shares-how could they possibly be available?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
"I told you if you want it, I have a way. The question is, do you dare?" Alexander challenged.
Freya found the entire situation ludicrous. She was beginning to regret even selling her own shares.
"I..." Freya drew in a deep breath, her voice barely audible. "What if Dad finds out?"
Alexander responded calmly, "If it's successful, it won't matter if he finds out. By then, he'll have no shares left-what's to fear from him?"
A spark of determination ignited in Freya's eyes. She and Alexander were both aware of Wayne's illegitimate son.
Kaitlyn had once mentioned that their father was holding tightly onto his shares, likely saving them for his illegitimate offspring.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Remembering those words, Freya's gaze towards Alexander changed. She might not understand everything, but she was far from clueless. She was beginning to comprehend what Alexander was suggesting. "Bro, you're not planning to...?" Her sentence trailed off, the unspoken words hanging in the air between them.
Alexander didn't respond directly. Instead, he straightened up and then leaned back casually, a smirk playing on his lips and a mysterious glint in his eyes.
Freya's heartbeat quickened as she observed his demeanor. Her brother was no simpleton. Since joining the company, he had ruthlessly purged the old guard with his forceful tactics. And now, he was even considering their own father as a target.
It was terrifying, truly terrifying.
