Chapter 831:
Alan froze. He stopped what he was doing, took the iPad, and scowled at the headline. His brows knotted in
confusion and concern.
“What do they mean by ‘for the money’?” Alan snapped, his fury bubbling to the surface. “Can’t these people
talk like decent human beings?”
“They don’t know she’s part of the Briggs family,” Toby explained.
“And that gives them the right to talk trash?” Alan exploded. “What if it were just any other woman? So it's okay
to throw around baseless accusations just because someone’s not a public figure?”
Toby stayed silent. He wasn’t about to add fuel to Alan’s fire when the man was already ready to blow.
“Call a press conference right now,” Alan ordered, his voice sharp with resolve. “We're announcing Freya's
identity.”
The nerve of these people. How could they spew such groundless nonsense about his beloved cousin? Did they
honestly believe she had no one in her corner?

“Shouldn't you talk to Freya first?” Toby asked carefully. “She’s always been against revealing who she is.
Wouldn't it be out of line to make that call without asking her?”
Alan’s temper cooled slightly. He frowned, weighing the situation, and realized Toby was right. Freya hated being
in the spotlight. But that didn’t mean he could just sit back while people tore her apart online.
“Do you have any better ideas?” he asked.
Toby wasn’t about to speak out of turn. “No.”

Alan let out a long sigh.
“But the trending topic’s already been taken down,” Toby pointed out, eyes on the screen. “It looks like Freya
took care of it.” Alan refreshed the page. Sure enough, it was gone.
He mulled it over for a moment before making up his mind. “You can head out. I'll go talk to her myself. No need
for you to cback to the office for a while—just go hand enjoy the break.”
Everyone else at Briggs Group was already on leave. But since Alan was still working, Toby had stuck around too.
Now, finally, he could clock out.
“Alright,” Toby replied quickly.
Alan shrugged into his coat and headed out of the office. As soon as he reached the underground garage, a
message from Freya popped up on his phone. She asked him not to bring up the topic to Hugh.
She'd sent the smessage to Ethel when Ethel brought it up earlier. Letting things die down quietly was the
best outcome.
But what Freya hadn’t seen coming was that, even though she’d informed Frederick, Alan, and Ethel... she'd
forgotten one person. Kristian.
