Chapter 174 Are You nning to Elope?


    “I’m busy withpany matters Matthew smiled and reached out to pat Melissa’s head


    He then nced at Radley with a cold, sharp gaze out of the corner of his eye


    Since Freya had left, Radley took Chris to the banquet hall to attend Sarah’s birthday banquet at noon


    There was also another banquet that evening


    But they excused themselves early.


    Chris followed closely behind Radley and asked curiously, “Why did you leave so suddenly? I heard


    that the main banquet would be at noon, and there would be a party at night. Maybe Freya might attend


    the party tonight.”


    Radley’s eyes remained indifferent. “Didn’t we already wish Old Mrs. Marshall on her birthday?”


    “But you didn’te here just to congratte Old Mrs. Marshall, did you? You came to see Freya. She


    didn’t appear at noon, so maybe she will—”


    Before Chris finished speaking, he saw a faint smile in Radley’s eyes.


    “Why aren’t you in a hurry? Let me tell you, Matthew is now inside the Marshall Residence, and I can


    see that the Marshalls like him a lot. Maybe they have already considered him Freya’s boyfriend.”


    “Freya won’t be with him,” Radley remarked.


    “How do you know that?”


    “Because she’s no longer in the Marshall Residence.”


    “What?”


    That answer shocked Chris.


    Following that, Connor drove away. Once the two cars left the Marshall Residence, they circled around


    to the back entrance.


    Although the Marshall Residence was bustling at the moment, everything was quiet at the back


    entrance.


    In the distance, Radley saw a familiar figure.


    Chris was beside him andughed once he noticed the figure too. “Are you nning to clope?”


    Freya was just about to get in the car when she heard that, and so she red at the other.


    After that, she turned to look at Radley. “Did you prepare the things I asked?”


    Radley smiled. “They’re almost ready.”


    “Good.” Freya’s smile carried a hint of sternness. “Let’s go and see thend my uncle bought!”


    Vroria was surrounded by mountains and was known as a city suitable for tourism and living. Radley’s


    car quickly arrived at the edge of the Marshall’s newly boughtnd.


    Several people were setting up a checkpoint by the main road near the edge


    Once they arrived, Freya and Radley got out of the car and got into another off-road vehicle.


    In the meantime, the puzzled Chris wanted to follow them


    But Radley turned to look at him. “You should head home


    “Where are you going? Chris asked curiously


    However, Radley and Freya had already gotten into the off-road vehicle, and the car’s engine was


    quickly turned on.


    Are these two leaving me behind just like that?


    Chris’ eyes widened in shock.


    In the car beside him, Connor offered, “Mr. Hond, let me send you back.”


    Chris gritted his teeth. “How could he abandon me for a woman?”


    Radley and Freya stayed in the car for a long time and didn’t return until the sun was about to rise


    After sending Freya back to the Marshall Residence’s back entrance, they chatted in front of the gate


    for a while before Freya returned inside.


    Since Sarah’s birthday banquet was a big event in Vroria, almost all the big shots in the city had


    attended the event. Therefore, the news of Ernie causing trouble at Marshall Residence gradually


    spread.


    Some people secretly cursed him forcking manners, while others openly mocked him for being


    heartless and ungrateful.


    But the fact that the Porter Group had scammed the Marshall Enterprise of 30 billion meant that the


    Porter Group was on the rise. So more people were ttering Ernie than criticizing him.


    The atmosphere in Marshall Residence had gotten worse these past few days.


    Freya could feel the exhaustion hidden behind her uncle’s smile, as well as her aunt’s.


    Three days passed in the blink of an eye.


    Late at night, at the Porter Residence.


    In the living room, Ernie’s face was grim as he stared at the man in front of him.


    “How is that possible?”


    “How is it impossible?” The man’s voice was hoarse. “Mr. Porter, you also saw it at Old Mrs. Marshall’s


    birthday banquet, didn’t you? Freya secretly left with Radley to visit thatnd!”


    Ernie’s face turned pale.


    “Did they really find that?”


    Yes, the value of thatnd will be at least ten times higher! The man said, “Mr. Porter, I’m just


    responsible for delivering the message. It’s up to you how you’re going to proceed.”


    Ernie gritted his teeth. Since the time of his father, their family had been relying on the Marshall’s aid to


    survive


    From a young age, his father had taught him to be friends with Noah and win Sylvia Marshall’s favor.


    But he was tired of living in the shadow of others!


    Noah was a loser. That man was less scheming than he was and was just lucky to have been born into


    the Marshall family!!


    With a dark expression, he said, “Let me think about it


    The man got up and left.


    The following day.


    There was suddenly a rumor spreading in Vroria.


    The Kaufmann Group and the Monaghan Group had jointly purchased thend Marshall Enterprise had


    bought from the Porter Group.


    The Hond and Porter Groups also wanted to get a share but were unsessful.


    Everyone was quite shocked by the news.


    “Thatnd is already a guaranteed loss, are the Kaufmann Group and the Monaghan Group crazy?”

    Even if the Kaufmanns and the Marshalls are inws, it is still a huge sum of money. Even if they only


    pay half of it, it would still be 15 billion!”


    There’s no 15 billion. They paid 40 billion to the Marshalls for thatnd!’


    Amidst the discussions, Ernie finally understood the situation.


    The useless Hond Group and Parker Group wanted to get involved but were kicked out by the


    Kaufmann Group and the Monaghan Group.


    What that man said was true.


    Thergest gold mine in the country might be under that piece ofnd.


    “The Kaufmann Group is so cunning, they even deceived their own rtives.” Ernie sat in the living


    room with a gloomy face. “Even that brat, Freya, has the nerve to mock me.”


    Beside him, his wife sat on the sofa, her eyes filled with wisdom. “The Monaghan Group and the


    Kaufmann Group have beenpetitors in Caltun for many years. Although they are rivals, it’s


    because of this rtionship that the other groups in Caltun have no chance to rise. So their cooperation


    might be real this time.”


    “I know!” Ernie raised his voice to say and gritted his teeth. “Radley would never do anything


    charitable.”


    That meant the gold mine was real.


    Such a big gift had fallen into theirps. Ernie felt his head spin at the thought that thend used to be


    theirs.


    He had already sold thatnd to the Marshalls.


    “Even if the Marshalls want to sell it, they would definitely sell it to their own people.” Ernie’s voice


    trembled as he knew he and the Marshalls hadpletely fallen out.


    At this moment, he also realized why Freya said the Marshalls would rise again.


    That woman had found out the true value of thatnd long ago.


    Beside him, his wife, Reeva Jordan, stood up with glistening eyes. “Honey, that might not be the case


    “What do you mean?”


    A mysterious and cunning smile appeared on Reeva’s face. “The Marshalls might not know the value of


    thatnd yet. Noah has always been honest and kind-hearted. How could he bear to let his rtives


    help him bear the burden?”


    Ernie was dumbfounded, but after thinking it through, he immediately burst intoughter. “You’re right.


    Even I didn’t expect there would be a mine below thatnd, so the brainless Noah wouldn’t have


    thought about it either. Prepare gifts and a contract. I’ll go to the Marshall Residence tomorrow and


    apologize to them.”
