Chapter 1224:
Being watched 24/7 was starting to wear her down. And more than that, Ellis hadn't even let Greta visit.
Ellis’s usually calm heart skipped a beat. His voice softened. “You feeling alright?”
“I'm fine. | just want sspace.” She knew it might sting a little, but she needed to help Greta. “Would you
mind givingsalone time?”
He hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “Okay.”
He walked her over to the garden, set out ssnacks and drinks for her, and then quietly left.
The moment he was out of sight, Freya gave two short coughs.
Greta popped out of the bushes like she’d been hiding in a spy movie. She grabbed a grape off the table and
asked, “How'd you get him to leave?”
“I told him I wanted to be alone.” Greta froze mid-bite.
The grape slipped from her fingers.

“Aren’t you one of the best hackers?”
“I haven't had much computer tlately. Ellis won't letnear one. I've only used a computer like four times
in the past four months. And one of those was because Alan begged me.”
If it hadn't been Alan, she probably wouldn't have gotten that chance either.
Even Melvin had been turned away when he casking for help.
“I didn’t know Ellis was that controlling,” Greta muttered.
“When are you leaving? I'll work something out.”

“Preferably today. The sooner the better.”
“Alright.”
Greta blinked again, surprised by how quickly Freya agreed.
“Ill try to talk him into it. If he says no, I'll fake being mad and lock myself in my room.” Freya was completely
serious.
Greta didn’t know what to say. She was about to suggest dropping the whole thing.
Even a fake fight between Freya and Ellis felt like pushing it.
