Chapter 28 Amber''s Trick


    Chapter 28 Amber''s Trick


    Austin realized after judging Freya''s expression that she would change her mind.


    "How big is your house, Daddy? Is it pretty? Do you have any toys there?" Daniel asked,


    anticipating with great eagerness.


    "Have you ever seen castles?"


    "Yeah! Castles are huge!"


    "I actually live in a castle."


    "Wow! You are even richer than I thought." Daniel''s eyes widened with delight as he eximed. He


    then turned to Freya and said, "You see, Mommy, I was right. He is super rich!"


    Freya was speechless as she thought Austin''s wealth had nothing to do with her.


    "Daddy! Let me tell you about how an evil witch is bullying my mom. You must back Mommy up and


    make sure she gets a fair shake! I don''t want anyone to treat her that horribly ever again."


    Austin immediately stared at Freya. His gaze was intense and seemed to hold many meanings.


    Freya''s cheeks flushed in embarrassment. She red sternly at Daniel and said, "You couldn''t be


    more wrong! No one is bullying me."


    Daniel blinked his big eyes and obviously looked disappointed.


    Austin suddenly said with a smile, "All right, I''ll agree with your mom on this one. Tell me who bullied


    her, please."


    Freya was taken aback. She thought to herself, "Is he serious? Or is he just saying that to make


    Daniel happy? "


    "Mommy, you can tell daddy who that evil woman is!"


    "I''m capable of dealing with that by myself without anyone to help me," Freya replied unhappily. All


    she wanted was to avoid any further contact with him, so she didn''t want him to get involved in this.


    Austin had already threatened her with legal action. If Daniel hadn''t been so enthusiastic about


    Austin''s idea, she wouldn''t have agreed to go to his house for dinner.


    Freya tried to think of some good reason to reject Austin, but she was afraid he would abduct her


    son when she was not present. She decided to say yes, as she began to wonder if Austin would


    use some clever tricks to gain Daniel''s favor and win him over.


    Therefore, Freya decided to visit Austin''s house and see what he would do. She knew she needed


    Daniel on her side if she wanted to win this case.


    She then heard her cell phone ring. When she took her phone from her purse, she discovered it


    was Linda calling.


    Freya told Daniel, "Sorry, I have to go answer the phone."


    As she walked out the office door, she picked up the phone and answered it.


    "Hello, Linda."


    "I''m sorry, Freya, but Ms. Dawson still wants to see you. Will you be able to meet us right away?"


    "I... I''m in the middle of..."Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    Before Freya could finish her sentence, Amber grabbed Linda''s phone and said, "Let me have a


    word with her!"


    Freya became nervous right away. Amber shouted angrily, "Freya, is this how you treat your job?


    Do you realize you''re supposed to treat your customers as if they''re God? Do you have any idea


    how much I paid for your design? I don''t care what you''re doing right now. If you don''te here as


    soon as possible, I''ll report you to your superiors!"


    "OK, I''m on my way," Freya said, biting her lip.


    "You shoulde over here right away. I just learned that your boss has connections with the


    Dawson Group, so firing you is a piece of cake for me." Amber hung up the phone after a sneer.


    Freya was so angry she even had trouble breathing. She could put up with the horrible things


    Amber had done to her four years ago, but she wasn''t sure she could tolerate this woman any


    longer.


    She desperately needed her job, as she would have no chance of winning thewsuit against


    Austin if she was fired. She was well aware that the courts would not allow an unemployed person


    to raise a child, so her job was extremely important to her at the time.


    Freya turned around and opened the door to Austin''s fancy office, where she saw him talking to


    Daniel. She walked toward them. After one look at Austin, she asked her son, "Honey, how about I


    drive you home now? Aunt Shannon will keep youpany."


    "But I thought we were having dinner at Daddy''s house tonight," Daniel said, looking expectant.


    "Yes, we are. I''ll take you there after I get off work."


    Austin raised an eyebrow and smiled. "That won''t be necessary. I can be with him because I don''t


    trust anyone else to be with my son," he said.
