Chapter 335 Dog Bites Dog’s Struggle
Helga’s gaze darted between Radley and Riley.
Her goal had always been to establish a connection with the Freemans. A favorable rapport with Riley
could pave the way for much-needed financial support from the Freeman Group, perhaps even quelling
the troublesome shareholders investigating the mica incident.
However, Radley posed a significant hurdle.
With Riley’s impending defeat, her efforts to please her seemed futile.
Taking a deep breath, Helga withdrew her hand from Riley’s grasp.
“Riley! I never thought you would deceive me like this! I genuinely believed you were the mastermind
behind that form two years ago. I almost unjustly used Miss Freya because of it. Your deception
knows no bounds!”
Riley’s legs gave way, and as Helga released her, she copsed to the ground. The onlookers. made
way for the unfolding drama, but none dared to intervene.
With eyes filled with disbelief, Riley red at Helga, her gaze smoldering with resentment.
“Helga, what are you talking about?”
Helga reyed the recording in her mind. She had hurled harsh words at Freya and enlisted. Leah to
steal her form.
However, no d*mning evidence linked her to the mysterious photo album. She could argue that Riley
had manipted her into nurturing baseless suspicions against Freya for far too long.
Determined, Helga realized that, having offended the Freeman, she now needed to secure favor with
the Monaghans or the Kaufmanns.
She turned around, tears welling up in her eyes, and threw a pitiful nce at Radley. “Mr. Monaghan!
My choice of friends was misguided. I had always seen Riley as a kind-hearted. person. She never
missed an opportunity to malign Miss Freya in my presence, fueling my resentment. I genuinely
believed that Miss Freya was guilty of the offenses Riley used her of, which led Leah to steal her
form. Yet, Rileyter confessed to me that Miss Freya had indeed copied her aplishments.”
Helga quickly concocted a justification for herself.
Freya stood nearby, somewhat impressed.
Wow! It is why she seeded in establishing her independent brand. Despite her modest talents, she
possessed a gift for persuasive rhetoric, a valuable asset in the cutthroat world of business.
Helga pressed on, “It was Riley who misled me and led me to wrongly use Miss Freya for so long!”
Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke.
Seeing Radley’sck of reaction and his cold gaze upon her, Helga gritted her teeth and forced herself
to speak firmly, “This time, I’m voluntarily withdrawing from thepetition. I must gather the courage
to apologize to Miss Freya for my misunderstanding and wrongful usations!”
With determination, Helga turned and walked over to Freya, bowing deeply. “Miss Kaufmann, I’m
profoundly sorry for being deceived by Riley and unfairly targeting you. I hope you can find it in your
heart to forgive me. I still aspire to be friends with Can
you. grant me an opportunity to make amends?”
Freya regarded Helga but refrained from offering a definitive response.
“What kind of opportunity do you propose?”
“Let’s coborate!” Helga suddenly fixed her gaze on Freya. “Miss Kaufmann, you’re aware that I have
a perfume brand. I’m willing to partner with the Monaghan Group to help promote the development of
its new fragrance line!”
Freya struggled to stifle augh. She thought, Shameless, utterly shameless.
“Helga, do you think I’m naive? Do you believe I’m unaware of the mica and childbor issues tied to
your brand? You’re audaciously clinging to your tarnishedpany and now. seek to coborate with
the Monaghan Group’s uing fragrance line?”
Those nearby caught on. The chief director sneered, “Even without those prior controversies, your
brand is dwarfed by the Monaghan Group. How dare you propose coboration?”
“Is this your idea ofpensation? You’re merely asking Miss Freya to act as your stepping stone! You
deceived her in the first ce!”
Amid the mor, Riley had managed to pull herself up from the ground.
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
She hated Freya, but now, her greatest contempt was reserved for Helga.
Freya had ignited her hatred, but Helga had elicited her profound disgust.
“Helga! Go to hell!” Riley seethed with anger, but unfortunately, she had failed to leave behind any
evidence when she initially schemed against others.
Riley charged straight at Helga and lunged at her!
Her hands viciously wed at Helga’s face, and one of her fingers forcibly hooked into the corner of
Helga’s lips, tearing it apart.
A piercing scream echoed along the beach as the corner of Helga’s lip was brutally torn!
Riley’s thirst for vengeance remained unquenched as she mercilessly delved deeper into the wound,
causing blood to gush forth and flesh to contort. The director swiftly ordered the live broadcast to be
terminated.
The live studio plunged into darkness, and viewers were left in shock by the unfolding drama.
On the beach, members of the organizingmittee had all arrived.
The situation had taken an unexpected turn that left them utterly dumbfounded. What was meant to be
resolved by a referee’s intervention had escted into a bizarre spectacle!
The president, his white hair disheveled, was furious. “Disgraceful! Allowing these two to participate in
ourpetition is the biggest stain in the history of our event!”
“Expel them and bar them from future participation. Thepetition’s official ount. should publicly
denounce their actions on social media, and the industry should unite in boycotting them! People like
them have no ce in the world of perfumery!”
The president seethed while Eric and the referce attempted to cate him.
Amidst the chaos, Freya stood in silence, observing the tumultuous sh between Riley and Helga.
Helgay on the ground, writhing in agony, clutching at Riley’s hair. Riley, seemingly unhinged, struck
Helga forcefully after her hair was wrenched free.
The staff swiftly intervened, forcibly dragging both of them away. Most of the participants, mainly
female, watched in fear.
“Did you see that? Helga’s lip is torn from the corner!”
“Goodness, I might have nightmares from this. Riley is scarier than a ghost; she showed no mercy.”
The organizingmittee president turned to Freya, noticing herposed demeanor. He sighed
deeply.
“Miss Kaufmann, the organizingmittee deeply regrets the events that transpired earlier. We nearly
misjudged you.”
Freya shook her head, her smile failing to reach her eyes. “This has nothing to do with the organizing
committee. They intended to deceive you from the very beginning.”
In the aftermath of the tumultuous events, only chaos and confusion remained.
Freya battle; she had merely seeded in averting unjust usations.
Some people possessed an innate talent for alienating others.
Taking a deep breath. Freya turned her attention to Leah, who appeared utterly shaken. Leah, naturally
timid, had been overwhelmed by fear. Witnessing Riley’s ruthless assault on her cousin had left her
defeated and sitting on the floor.
“Leal,” Freya approached, her tone soothin
Today, Freya felt graceful toward Leah. Initially, she suspected that Helga and Riley had coerced the
timid Leah into stealing her form.
However, she hadn’t anticipated that Leah had intended to assist her, even at the cost of disqualifying
her from thepetition.
A warmth filled Freya’s heart, and she reached out her hand to help Leah to her feet.
Once Leah was on her feet, Freya turned her gaze to Radley, who had remained throughout the chaos.
“Radley, I have a favor to ask of you.”
