Amber answers “I just finished the book, the contrast...”

Craig asked this question about Altered Carbon (Takeshi Kovacs, #1):

I just finished the book, the contrast with the Netflix series is interesting. One question I couldn't figure out from the book - why does Trepp (Enforcer for Reileen Kawahara) continue to help Kovacs, to the point of betraying Kawahara at the end? I can't figure out Trepp's motivation.

When she sprang Kovacs from the clinic where he was being tortured, that made sense, because she was collecting him on Reileen's orders, and then when she rescued him from the fight with Kadmin at the Panama Rose, I presume that was because Reileen was pissed that Kadmin had disobeyed her again. Remember Reileen was big on keeping her word,and she had told Kovacs she'd keep him in line. But that last moment when she helped him on board Head in the Clouds... there's no explaining that one.
