Chapter195TheChildisMine
Amidst the chatter, Radley, who was not far away, also looked over in this direction.
The crowd made it difficult for him to see clearly, but he vaguely saw Freya among them.
He immediately stood up and walked over.
At this moment, Ste was still making a fuss.
Freya sneered. “Ste, your stupidity drove the Williams away from Caltun years ago. I never expected
that you still haven’t learned your lesson after all these years!”
“Hmph, don’t brag. Our family left Caltun because–the branch in Capitael was doing well, and we
became the headquarters there. Do you really think it was your Kaufmann family that forced us to
leave? Who do. you think you are!”
Freya pinched her brow in frustration.
Ste’s way of arguing differed from most people in the hall; she had the style of a street fighter and
was very aggressive.
If it were any other time, Freya wouldn’t care too much and would just p her and kick her out.
But today, he knew that Wilson was watching them closely!
If she got into an argument with Ste now, it would be seen as two shrews fighting in Wilson’s eyes!
But the more Freya ignored Ste, the more Ste felt that the other party was afraid of her.
Ste’s voice grew louder as if trying to attract everyone’s attention.
Freya took a deep breath, feeling the tension in her body reaching its breaking point.
“Ste-”
Freya’s eyes were cold, and her hand clenched into a fist.
Suddenly, a hand rested on her shoulder.
The gentle pat of that hand instantly calmed the anger in Freya’s chest.
She turned her head to look at the person behind her.
Radley had somehow walked up to her.
His deep eyes were filled with tenderness and doting.
“What’s wrong? Is this your lover?” Ste asked.
Freya’s earlier demeanor provoked Ste. Feeling that she had the upper hand, she continued to press
on.
“The child in your belly is his?”
Though she said so, there was still a hint of jealousy in her eyes as she looked at Radley,
Back when they were at Evergreen University, the men she liked always treated Freya like a goddess.
Ever since then, she had hated Freya, wishing she would disappear from this world!
She wanted to see her fall from her pedestal and be a woman despised by everyone!
Now that she heard Freya got married, divorced, and was pregnant, Ste felt like she had finally
vented her frustrations.
The surrounding crowd fell silent.
Was Ste out of her mind?
The Kaufmann Group and the Monaghan Group had stood tall in Caltun for many years, but they rarely
took action to drive apany away directly.
But then they understood Braxton’s actions back then.
This Ste was just too foolish!
Radley looked up, his deep eyes showing a cold light as he said nothing, merely observing the
situation.
Ste found it harder to continue under his intimidating gaze.
She felt like his eyes could pierce through her soul, leaving an icy sensation in her body.
Her speech became stuttered.
“Are you done?” Radley asked coldly.
Ste widened her eyes. The man before her looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn’t recall who he
was at that moment. She gritted her teeth and tried to act tough.
“What’s
your
business?!”
Radley’s eyes turned cold, and heughed softly. “Finish what you have to say and then get lost. The
Williams is lucky to have a daughter like you. Even if you hide in Capitael, I won’t let anyone who
insults her off the hook!”
Although there was a smile on his face, the chilling tone in his words made people shudder!
The people around fell silent.
Radley’s words carried much weight, and he was always a man of his word.
Ste became nervous. “Who are you?”
Someone nearby sneered softly.
“She couldn’t even recognize Mr. Monaghan; the Williams is unlucky to have her.”
“Previously, the Williams couldn’t stay in Caltun because of Ste’s actions. This time, they might be
unable to stay in Florin too.”
Ste froze upon hearing the whispers around her.
Mr. Monaghan? The man from the Monaghan Group?
His face ovepped with the one she had seen in the financial magazine. Ste’s heart sank, feeling a
chill all over her body.
If her father discovered that she had shed with Radley, he would surely kill her!
Ste stood like a stone, stuck in ce, unable to move around.
Radley looked down at Freya, his eyes filled with tenderness and doting.
“Why didn’t you call me when you encountered someone like this?”
C
“What if you got angry?” He nced coldly at Ste beside him. “This kind of person is not worth
risking your life for.”
The people around them understood Radley’s attitude toward Freya and started discussing.
“With Mr. Monaghan’s attitude, does that means Miss Kaufmann’s child is his?”
“Isn’t it said that Miss Kaufmann divorced Mr. Monaghan when she got pregnant?”
“What do you know? They are on good terms now. The divorce might have been just a heated
argument. Being divorced for a month doesn’t mean they won’t be together again.”
The discussions reached Freya’s ears.
She anxiously raised her head, frowning as she looked at Radley.
His face, usually cold andposed, showed anger now, and his cold jade–like face only softened
when facing Freya.
He looked around at the people.
“The child Freya is carrying is mine. From now on, I don’t want to hear anyone gossiping about her
behind her back. Caltun has been very peacefultely, but the Monaghans don’t mind having a few
more enemies.”
The people around immediately chuckled.
“What are you saying, Mr. Monaghan?”
“We have never said anything bad about Miss Kaufmann behind her back.”
“Miss Kaufmann is not only beautiful but also talented. They are a perfect couple.”
Freya became anxious. If this misunderstanding spread, the whole of Caltun might think this way!
Was Radley out of his mind?
She tugged at his sleeve.
Radley slightly bent down and leaned in closer to her.
“What’s wrong?”
Freya’s voice was low as she gritted her teeth.
“Radley, why are you saying such things? If you say things like this, everyone will misunderstand. You
should rify it quickly, or else I’ll do it myself!”
Freya’s attitude was resolute. She would never allow this “rumor” to spread!
Radley’s eyes flickered slightly.
He didn’t want to rify.

There was a subtle confrontation between the two.
In the eerie atmosphere, apuse suddenly erupted from outside.
Everyone turned to look, and a tall foreign man was walking towards them.
The man appeared to be in histe thirties, with a handsome appearance.
“Mr. Monaghan is willing to confront anyone who nders his wife for the sake of love. He is someone
worth befriending.”
