Chapter 159

Frederick's large hand rested gently on Scarlett's shoulder and guided Scarlett's strap back into place. He felt a slight tremor run through her as she closed her eyes.

Scarlett opened her eyes, a flicker of disbelief in his actions. "Don't you find me attractive? Don't you want to secure my help with the significant figure?"

Frederick's smile was soft as he shook his head. "I'll never take advantage of someone when they're vulnerable. But I understand your desperation, and I will help you treat this person."

He had no interest in bartering favors with intimacy.

However, Scarlett's willingness to do anything to investigate her father's death resonated with him deeply.

He felt the same way; if it could reveal the cause of his father's death, he would sacrifice anything, even his life.

Scarlett's surprise was evident. "You'll help me... without asking for anything in return?"

Frederick simply nodded.

A wave of warmth washed over Scarlett as she admired Frederick's integrity.
