Chapter 247 If There’s

Danger, I Don’t Want Yo…

“Trent.” Ellis flicked his gaze sideways.

ent didn’t flinch, keeping that composed, gentlemanly air about him. “I’m not sure. Mina only mentioned it to Frederick.”

rederick’s head snapped toward him, eyes wide with disbelief. How shameless!

“You know it too!” he barked.

Trent tilted his head, face laced with confusion. “About what?”

“You know Freya left because—”

Frederick suddenly clamped his mouth shut.

In that split second, realization crashed over him like a wave. He spun toward Trent, fury lacing his words. “Trent, how could you throw me under the bus like this?”

Trent, aware he couldn’t let Ellis catch wind of the truth, played dumb to the end. It was unbelievable.

“What?” Trent asked again, still donning that bewildered look.

“Nothing!” Frederick snapped, his chest heaving. “I’m the only one who knows the reason!”

Trent’s expression didn’t budge, barely reacting at all.

That made Ellis take a moment to think.

What none of them realized this was the first time Trent had dared lie to Ellis–and his heart was practically jackhammering in his chest. He just had to make it believable.

A few moments later, Freya appeared.

The second Frederick spotted her, he bolted like she was his last hope, practically whining, “Freya, Trent was really awful to me!”

Freya blinked, confused, holding a laptop in her arms.

She glanced briefly at Trent, then asked, “What exactly did he do to you?”

“Our captain asked why you left. I told him to ask Trent, but Trent said you only told me, not him.” Frederick dumped the whole mess in a breathless rush. “Back me up here, will you?”

Freya didn’t give it much thought. “I didn’t tell him.”

“Freya!” Frederick looked scandalized. “You’re really gonna lie like that?”

Freya’s face scrunched slightly. What was this about?

“You told all of us, remember?” He suddenly leaned in, voice dropping low “How can you say YIKIP Grey’s know?”

Now Freya was truly thrown off

She replied, her voice even, “When I left, I only told you. No one else,”

“I’m talking about that man,” Frederick clarified under his breath.

And now Freya got it.

e shot him a look, a mix of sympathy and resignation. Now it made sense why he was always che so

3ses. He really didn’t know how easy it was to twist his words.

All done?” Ellis strolled over, voice casual and easy,

Freya nodded softly. “Yeah.”

“Go have a seat and wait a bit. We’re just going to rinse off and change.” Ellis wiped some sweet from ke brow

as he spoke.

“Alright.”

He and the others headed off for a quick shower, changing back into their dean clothes

Ten minutes later, they were ready and made their way to the parking lot with Freya in tow.

“I’ll ride with Trent,” Freya said firmly, just as Trent started the engine. “I need to talk to him ”

“Sure.” Ellis didn’t argue.

Trent pressed his lips together, a faint trace of helplessness in his expression.

Once they were inside the car, Trent glanced at Freya in the passenger seat. “Why are you avoiding 12la?”

“Was it that obvious?” Freya hadn’t realized Trent had taken Ellis’s side, so she didn’t hold back

“As obvious as the nose on your face.” His tone was light, almost teasing “To a stranger, it might look like you

have beef with him.”

Freya was caught off guard. Her mind flashed to what Ethel had told her. Ellis hadn’t said much cater–Ad te think she have beef with him?

“Did you do something to upset him?” Trent asked.

“You could say that.”

Freya sighed, already feeling a headache coming on. What she feared most were illis’s unpredictable traps

Trent’s eyes flickered with thought. “He isn’t as strict as you think. Sometimes, he’s genuinely concrmed ser laying traps.”

“You might think so.” Freya gave him a pointed look. “But for the rest of us? It’s like a minefel

Trent didn’t say anything after that. Suddenly, he wasn’t so sure Ellis’s pursuit of Freya would go as smoothly

Chapter 247 If There’s Danger, I Don’t Want You Hiding It From Me

as he’d hoped.

Meanwhile, Frederick’s nerves were shot–mostly because of Ellis’s sharp question.

“Tell me what are you lot scheming behind my back?” Ellis followed behind Trent’s car, his voice breaking the

silence from the driver’s seat.

Though his tone was light and easygoing, Frederick couldn’t help but feel a chill crawl down his spine.

He sat frozen, gaze shifting restlessly. “Nothing! Seriously!”

“Nothing?”

Captain, aren’t you overthinking this?” Frederick tried to play it off.

here’s nothing going on, then why did Freya ask Kristian for a laptop before she left?” Ellis, ever the hawk,

11ed nothing.

“She probably needed it to wrap up some light work,” Frederick offered weakly.

“In that case, why would she buy a new one?” Ellis shot back without missing a beat.

He knew how particular Freya was with electronics–and the one she brought back screamed last–minute grab.

Frederick had nothing.

Ellis kept casting sidelong glances at him, never saying much–but the silent pressure was excruciating.

Eventually, Frederick couldn’t take it.

He dialed Freya, using the first excuse that popped into his head. “Freya, can we switch cars? I’m really not used to our captain’s driving. I’m getting carsick.”

Both Freya and Ellis fell into a speechless silence.

“We’re almost there. Just hang in there.” Freya clearly had no interest in switching.

“I can’t take it anymore, ugh!” Frederick groaned dramatically, adding a few fake gags for effect. “Freya… please

… I’m begging you…”

“Fine.”

The moment Freya said the word, Frederick finally exhaled.
