Chapter194OldAcquaintancesLookingForTrouble


    Radley exuded a sense of detachment.


    “Thank you for your offer, but there is no need for that.”


    “Mr. Monaghan, please give me some face. After all, our families have been cooperating for many


    years.” The man’s attitude turned fawning and obsequious.”


    Freya pursed her lips and looked up at Radley with a smile.


    “You


    go ahead. I’ll take a look around here.”


    Radley frowned, seemingly concerned about her.-


    Freya lowered her voice and advised, “If you go, you can gather some information.”


    Radley looked at her intensely.


    “Alright, but don’t wander around here or go to the garden.”


    Freya nodded in response, and Radley left.


    Watching his figure fade away, Freya let out a sigh.


    The news about the Monaghans and the Kaufmanns was already well–protected in Caltun.:


    She was only worried because some of those families had coborated with the Monaghan Group, and


    she feared Radley’s absence might embarrass them.


    Unconsciously, she was starting to consider his feelings?!


    Freya twitched her lips and quickly found an excuse for herself – perhaps it was merely an expression


    of friendliness and courtesy towards business partners.


    The seminar was organized by the authorities.


    Wilson was the guest of honor and wouldn’t appear at the beginning.


    Freya’s eyes flickered as she put herself in Wilson’s shoes and thought.


    She would use this seminar to identify potential coborators if she were Wilson.


    All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    Confronted with such a serious matter, he would observé everyone from some corner of the hall.


    Freya’s eyes


    lit


    1. up.


    With a smile,, she stared at the cup of juice in her hand and quickly mapped out the location of Ronald


    Manor in her mind.


    To have aplete view of the hall, she could only do so from the corner of the esctor on the


    second floor.


    The second floor of Ronald Manor was not part of the seminar area.


    Freya turned around and walked to the champagne tower on the side, gazing through the ss.


    Through the glimmer of the ss, she could vaguely see a tall figure standing at the esctor on the


    second floor.


    A slight curve appeared at the corner of Freya’s lips. It seemed that she had guessed correctly.


    Freya quickly recalled the information she had gathered before.


    The Wilson family appreciated polite people, especially given their royal background; they valued


    etiquette.


    Freya’s every move became more elegant.


    After all, she was Miss Kaufmann of the Kaufmann Group. When she stood there for a while, several


    women and youngdies approached her to engage in conversation.


    Freya tried her best to maintain all the manners, with a faint smile on her face, reciprocating each


    interaction.


    Severaldies were unusually excited.


    “Miss Kaufmann, I heard your brother has no girlfriend yet. My niece from my mother’s side is also


    single and she’s gorgeous!” one of thedies said excitedly.


    Freya felt a headacheing on, but she still maintained a faint smile on her face.


    Wave after wave of people came forward.


    She couldn’t hold on any longer.


    Scanning the surroundings, she spotted a vacant single sofa nearby and walked there slowly.


    To hell with etiquette and elegance. Freya inwardlymented. She couldn’t understand how those royal


    members in Iternia managed to maintain theirposure for so long.


    Sitting on a small sofa, as long as she didn’t move, it wouldn’t be considered impolite.


    As Freya was contemting, she heard a woman’s voice behind her:


    “Oh, isn’t this Freya from the Kaufmann family? Oh, I heard you are in charge of the Kaufmann Group


    now?”


    The woman’s voice was loud, attracting the attention of those around them.


    Freya turned around and looked at the familiar face, her lips twitching slightly.


    It was her college ssmate.


    Famous for being a second–generation wealthy, the heiress of the William Group, Ste William!


    During their time at Evergreen University, Freya and Ste had a strained rtionship.


    Not because of anything else, but because Ste always found fault with her.


    Freya forced a smile on her face.


    “Ste, long time no see.”


    Ste was taken aback. She scrutinized Freya from head to toe, wondering if she had mistaken her for


    someone else.


    Back in college, whenever she confronted Freya, Freya would coldly retort.


    And this woman was extremely malicious.


    Ste had been sent abroad because she offended Freya; she was expelled from Evergreen


    University.


    “You’re still pretending, huh?” Ste noticed the people around them watching and lowered her voice.


    Freya raised her eyebrows, reminding herself to stay elegant and polite.


    “Miss William, when did youe back from abroad?”


    But Ste’s voice turned cold.


    “Freya, do you even have the face to ask me when I came back?! It was because of you that my dad


    sent me abroad in the first ce!”


    Regarding this matter, Ste was full of hatred towards Freya.


    Because of her sudden departure abroad, her boyfriend at Evergreen University broke up with her. It


    was all because of this b*tch, Freya Kaufmann!


    The Williams had recently been doing well in Capitael, and Ste’s confidence had returned.


    She crossed her arms and looked disdainful.


    “Freya, so many years have passed, but you haven’t changed much. Your belly has gotten round,


    though.”


    Ste sneered, thinking of the recent gossip she had heard.


    “I’m not even married yet, but you got married and divorced, and now you’re pregnant. I’m really


    curious, whose child are you carrying?”


    Freya let out a coldugh, forcibly restraining herself from punching this b*tch–looking face in front of


    her!


    Ste covered her lips andughed arrogantly.


    “You really don’t know, do you? I heard a lot of gossip. Some say that the child in your belly is Radley’s,


    and some say it is Matthew’s from the Hood family.”


    Freya’s face turned cold.


    “Miss William, you better watch your words!”


    If it weren’t for leaving an elegant and polite impression on Wilson, she would have pped this woman


    in the face!


    Ste’s self–confidence seemed to grow more robust, and she wore a smug smile as she said, “But


    both families are good choices. Whichever family it is, you shouldn’t keep it a secret. You really don’t


    know, do you? Back in college, I already told you to stay away from nightclubs.”


    The people around fell silent, and Ste’s voice grew louder, making her words clear to everyone.


    “This is a seminar. Who does she think she is? So arrogant.”


    “She is from the William Group, which also started in Caltun. They moved their entire family to the


    Capitael afterward. They have some grudges against the Kaufmann Group. Ste used to provoke


    Freya over everything, wanting topete with her. At first, Freya ignored her, but as she became


    more and more excessive, Braxton got angry and kicked the Williams out!”


    “I see. Today’s situation seems different. When has Freya ever been this submissive? Could the


    William Group have be significant in the Capitael?”
