Evidently, the individual in question sought to capture an image of the central figure. Initially, only a rear view of the man, encircled by a crowd, was visible. Gradually, however, he turned, revealing a partial view of his face.
Freya’s gaze narrowed as she studied the half–visible countenance, her body rigid with tension.
From their initial encounter in Porejimo, where she was studying, Freya had found Nathaniel to be a man of elegance and charm.
He had the demeanor of a gentle businessman. He later revealed to her that he was an orphan, raised by a foster father who was a timber merchant in Southeast Asia. Eventually, he expanded into the rubber industry and amassed a fortune.
His foster father, having no children of his own, left his estate to Nathaniel upon his death. With the domestic economy thriving, Nathaniel expressed a desire to invest in Saeville.
At that time. Freya and Nathaniel were in a relationship. Her father, Killian, was the President of the Sarville Chamber of Commerce. Consequently, she introduced her boyfriend Nathaniel to her homeland.
However, Nathaniel’s tales of timber and rubber industries were fabrications. His past in Southeast Asia was far from pristine!
Over the years, he had made frenzied investments in various industries in Saeville, building a business. empire. Freya suspected that he was likely laundering money at an alarming rate.
By now, she estimated that he had probably laundered nearly all of it.
Freya’s brow furrowed as she replayed the video, her hands trembling slightly.
If she could expose Nathaniel, he would undoubtedly face imprisonment, and his business empire would crumble to dust.
A wave of tension washed over Freya. She abruptly rose to her feet, flinging open every cabinet door in the study and rummaging through the partition beneath the computer desk. She searched frantically until exhaustion overcame her.
She collapsed onto the carpet, wiping the sweat from her brow before letting out a bitter laugh.
Could such a crucial piece of evidence really be hidden in Newport Villa?
She refused to believe that a person could completely sever ties with their past and start anew. If she wanted to unearth Nathaniel’s secret, she would have to bide her time.
Taking a deep breath, she noticed her phone screen light up. A single–read–only application flashed.
Freya quickly grabbed her phone. This was her unique method of communicating with Sawyer.
She wasn’t sure who Sawyer had commissioned to develop this application. It was a one–way connection between them. Text messages were displayed for a few seconds before being burned” and

disappearing.
They had agreed to limit their contact, even through the application, unless it was absolutely necessary
Is it pretty?” Sawyer inquired.
Freya was momentarily taken aback. She watched as the three words slowly burned into a halo. Then, she realized he was referring to the drone performance he had arranged for her.
Freya let out a wry chuckle. She had thought it was something important, but he was merely asking her opinion on the drone show.
Ignoring the trivial message, Freya typed a response.
“I’ve viewed the video, and the USB flash drive has been destroyed as per your instructions. It’s been flushed down the toilet.”
“Ok”
The word “ok” appeared, then burned away.
After watching the video, Freya grew impatient. “Why not use the contents of the USB flash drive as evidence against Nathaniel?”
There was no response for a while.
Freya waited. Just when she thought she wouldn’t receive a reply, a message from Sawyer appeared.
“A mere side–profile isn’t sufficient to convict him. It’s rumored that Nathaniel has a secret file on his computer, potentially containing substantial evidence”
“If you can secure that evidence, then we can proceed
This time, Sawyer’s message was unusually lengthy. The sparkles that appeared after reading it resembled bright meteors streaking across the black screen of her phone
