Freya's POV
After delivering those final words, I quickly slipped into the waiting vehicle.
Valerie Victor climbed in right behind me, settling into the spacious interior.
Mack Ben shifted to the opposite side, creating deliberate distance between himself and Jasper Tristan who remained outside.
He leaned forward slightly, his voice carrying a deceptively calm tone as he addressed my ex-husband through the open door. "President Tristan, remember that helping others ultimately helps yourself. Don't let momentary confusion lead to permanent regret."
The words hit me like a physical blow.
This wasn't just advice. It was a clear warning, maybe even a threat wrapped in polite language.
Valerie Victor's lips parted in surprise as she turned toward me, her expression mixing shock with what looked suspiciously like satisfaction.
I kept my expression neutral, unsure how to react to Mack Ben's unexpected intervention. Playing ignorant seemed like the safest option.
