The President’s Mistake A Tale of Love and Regret novel Chapter 496

“Faster! Can you go any faster? Hurry up!” Sawyer shouted in the yacht's cockpit, nearly deafening the crew members with his loud voice.

Next to him stood a man in sportswear, the hood of his long-sleeved T-shirt pulled up.

He wore thick glasses and looked slightly pale. A typical tech geek. The bespectacled man crouched by a box with various complex instruments, clutching a laptop.

The bespectacled man was Sawyer's old partner. He had been the main operator during the hacker attack against Nathaniel.

Since then, Sawyer had made him his personal programmer, bringing him along for everything.

Today's situation with Freya caught him off guard. He was still dazed. He had been helping Freya search for her brother Mason’s whereabouts, but their opponent’s strength was overwhelming, even deceiving him.

When he tracked the car, it disappeared into a church, and that was it.

At the same time, Nathaniel’s people were causing trouble, making Sawyer experience true chaos for the first time.

This morning, his phone suddenly received a message from a self-destructing messaging app. The message was blank.

He was bewildered. It had been a long time since he and Freya had used that app. The developer, now fiddling with the instruments beside him, had created it specifically for them.

After Nathaniel discovered it on Freya’s phone, she never used it again, but Sawyer couldn’t bring himself to delete it. It was their shared secret.

Unexpectedly, after so long, Freya sent a message again. The flame of the message slowly burned away on the screen, leaving nothing behind. He didn’t think Freya was joking.

She was too serious for that, sometimes annoyingly so.

Sawyer quickly called Freya, but she didn’t answer. Her phone was off.

Half an hour later, the self-destructing messaging app sent another blank message. Even a fool would understand that Freya was signaling him.

He remembered the app's special feature: even if the phone was off, as long as it was installed, it would keep sending offline messages.

Sawyer found the app's developer, who was shocked. He hadn’t told Sawyer about a hidden feature: a location tracker.

He was a hacker with a bad reputation, and clients were scarce. Sawyer was his most long-term and unusual client.

The developer initially set up the tracker to sell Sawyer’s whereabouts to tabloids for extra cash.

Sawyer punched him hard when he found out, then transferred him 500,000 dollars, demanding to locate Freya.

If he found her, he’d get another 500,000. Otherwise, he’d be thrown into the open sea to see if he could swim back.

The bespectacled man nervously tested the instruments, sweat forming on his forehead.

“Found her yet?” Sawyer wanted to punch him again. He was furious that the guy had the nerve to set a tracker but also relieved that it might help find Freya.
