She Took The House The Car And My Heart novel Chapter 269

Chapter 269 Kristian Might

Be In Serious Danger

“I’ve got something to do. You should head back first,” Freya said calmly.

But Natasha didn’t move. She stayed rooted in place, clinging to Freya like a shadow.

Freya didn’t have time for this. She turned her focus to the deal between Lawrence and Kristian. But the deeper she looked, the more she ran into a wall–one she built herself.

She had once sold the phone system involved, and with it, she’d locked herself out.

It was only fair. Buyers wouldn’t want her snooping around, just like no one wants phone developers digging into their private lives.

She could’ve broken in with ease. But her principles held her back.

Lost in thought, she picked up her phone.

If anyone knew something, it would be Kristian’s assistant–Gerard.

“Ms. Briggs?” Gerard sounded surprised to hear from her.

“It’s me. I want to ask something about Kristian. If it’s a bad time, just say so,” Freya said, keeping it brief.

“Go on.”

“In the past few days, has he met with anyone strange or struck any deal outside work?”

“He has…” Gerard admitted.

Freya’s chest tightened. “Who was it? What did they talk about?”

Gerard answered, recalling that day, “I’m not sure who it was. Right after Mr. Shaw spoke with you, he made a

call. He asked if their old agreement still stood.”

“What do you mean?” Freya asked, feeling a sense of dread.

“I don’t know. But after that, he asked the person for a favor. He promised to agree to their earlier request if

they helped,” Gerard replied, still uneasy.

Freya’s thoughts flashed back to Lawrence. His words had been cut off that day-“I should thank you; if it weren’t for you…”

A thought struck her. “Did Kristian ask that person to save me?”

Gerard froze. “How did you know?”

Only Kristian and Gerard had been there. Colson came later.

Wait-

A lawyer and a will.

Panic stirred in Gerard’s chest. He asked quickly, “Ms. Briggs, is Mr. Shaw in danger?”

“He has a bad fever. After we got off the yacht, Lawrence Haynes took him. But don’t worry–Lawrence has the best medical resources. Kristian will be fine.”

“That’s a relief.” Gerard let out a breath.

Freya hesitated. She wanted Gerard to call Kristian and check on him. But something told her not to interfere.

Kristian had asked her to leave, after all.

“By the way, I think Mr. Shaw might be in serious danger,” Gerard suddenly said.

“Why do you think so?” Freya’s voice sharpened.

Gerard spoke honestly. “After that call, he asked a lawyer to come over to draft a will. He arranged all his assets.”

He didn’t say who the will was for. If he did, Kristian might never forgive him.

“A will?” Freya was stunned.

“Yes,” Gerard confirmed.

Her heart dropped.

Kristian wouldn’t write a will for no reason. He must’ve felt something was coming.

And if he wrote it right after the call, it had to do with Lawrence.

“Don’t tell anyone, including Kristian’s family. Just keep an eye on the company. I’ll handle the rest,” Freya said.

If Kristian had made a deal with Lawrence just to protect her… It was reckless.

Freya knew Lawrence well. He never moved unless there was something big in it for him.

Kristian was such a fool.

“Alright,” Gerard agreed.

After the call, Freya stood still, trying to settle her emotions.

Natasha saw her walk in from the balcony, looking worried. “What’s the matter?” she asked.

“Nothing. I need to go out for a bit. Find something to keep you busy, and don’t wander into people’s homes

without permission.”

“I’ll go with you!” Natasha said quickly.

Freya didn’t respond. She only looked at her.

That was enough. Natasha backed down right away. “Then you have to come find me when you get back. I still want to learn from you.”

“Alright,” Freya said, after which she went to make arrangements. Seeing that Freya was truly busy, Natasha left unwillingly.

Ashley was free now, so there was no need to worry about her.

As for her own company, Melvin was still there.

With that thought, Freya called him and gave him a rough rundown. Shed him she’d be tied up for a while and asked him to watch over things.

Melvin’s first words were, “Are you getting married?”
