“So you’re really standing up for him? Freya, I didn’t expect Natalie to get pregnant either. It’s complicated, but I told you I’d take care of it. Just… don’t make a reckless move you’ll regret.”
“A reckless move? Hah, like what?”
“Are you really going to bring up that night again?”
“The fact is, that night, I was completely innocent with Professor Cooper! It was purely a teacher-student relationship. Liam, why would you believe a photo over me?”
‘Photo. That’s right. Freya looked up at Ryan. ‘Was it him who sent the photo to Liam earlier? Why would he do that?’
Setting aside the misunderstanding from years ago, the recent photo was clearly taken from a deceptive angle.
‘He knew everything that happened between me and Professor Cooper today.
‘He did it on purpose!’ Freya figured it out.
“Freya, please, I’m begging you. I’m really exhausted. Don’t act on impulse, okay? I’m about to board the plane. I’ll come to you tonight.”
“Liam, let me say this again: there has never been anything inappropriate between me and Professor Cooper, whether it was years ago or today.”
“But you still lied to me today, didn’t you?”
“What did I lie about? I told you I’m in Sairo with Lily.”
“But you didn’t tell me Lily is just a cover. Your real intention was to meet that old pervert in Sairo!”
That line felt like a fishbone stuck in Freya’s throat-sharp and uncomfortable.
“Whatever, believe it or not,” she said in the end.
“How about you explain to me about that night a few years ago, you and him alone in a hotel room for the whole night. What exactly did you do? Was there anyone else there?”
Freya made no response.
“Freya, as long as you can explain, even if you’re still using Lily as an excuse, saying she was there too, I’ll believe you.”
‘He’s already convinced I am using Lily as an excuse, so what’s the point of explaining?’ Freya thought to
herself.
And that night, Lily really was there.

With Lily’s current fame and public image, if this secret got out, she’d really be ruined, her life destroyed.
Maybe in real life, everyone would sympathize with Lily’s situation; it was not her fault. She was a victim too.
But she was in the entertainment biz now. There was always someone trying to catch her slipping and end her
career.
This secret would make her the target of public outrage. That past she wanted to forget would become the latest gossip.
“Freya, tell me, was Lily there that night?”
Freya made no response.
“Speak up! Even if you’re lying to me, I’ll believe you. What’s stopping you?”
“She wasn’t,” Freya said. “That night, it was just me and Professor Cooper.”
Liam was silent for a while, both ends of the phone dead quiet.
