Chapter 338 Disappointment


    Freya furrowed her brows. “It seems that you know something I’m apparently not aware of. but what


    does that have to do with me anyway?”


    “Of course, it has everything to do with you. Apart from the people from Marshall Enterprise and the


    Kaufmann Group, the Freeman Group has also just gotten on the wrong side of the Cahan family


    from Hartterre. Furthermore, you will be my sister-inw soon, like my father said. So, if anyone tries to


    take advantage of you, the Parker family will not stand by and tolerate such humiliation. For that, my


    father even broke the deal with a few of the Freeman Group’s subsidiaries.”


    “Well, that was uncalled for, actually. Things between me and Riley have always been nothing more


    than business. So, you shouldn’t let go of any opportunity that’ll bring you and thepany a huge


    profit, which is all the more reason you guys should continue working with. the Freeman family,” Freya


    responded with a helpless sigh.


    “This is not just about business and profit, Freya. In fact, we, along with the other families, are not the


    only ones who suffer from this problem, and guess what? The Monaghan Group is also among us. I


    have no idea how Radley did it, but he somehow managed to get the Hond family to side with him.


    Once they formed an alliance with each other, the Honds. would have to give up on the Freeman


    Group. To make matters worse, the Freeman Group has now be a target that has been


    surrounded by its enemies. For that, thepany is bound to lose tens of billions, not to mention the


    conflict and disharmony that have already. been going on among the shareholders for a while.


    Therefore, you can’t really me the Freeman family for chasing Riley away, can you?” Isabe smiled


    in response.


    “But Riley is still their daughter, after all, Freya replied softly.


    “Well, in this case, blood isn’t thicker than water because thepany’s interest apparently seems


    more important than their daughter does. I’ve heard how the Freeman family was. known for their strict


    upbringing, but it really beats me to see how Riley turned out like this.” Isabe sighed in


    disappointment.


    Later that night, she left the Kaufmann Residence right after dinner. In the meantime, Freya went online


    to search for more news and information to learn about Riley. After all, Riley had managed to be


    quite a celebrity on the inte due to thepetition, although she had apparently gained more hate


    than fame.


    Nevertheless, Freya didn’t manage to find any useful information about Riley being cast. away by the


    Freeman family. Instead, she received a number of private messages in which the viewers, who had


    just watched the live streaming, expressed their satisfaction and requested for her to reactivate her


    ount as DiligentFrey. However, she was quickly concerned when she wondered whether doing so


    would interfere with her work at the Monaghan Group, considering the new brand’sunching that


    would take ce soon.

    After careful deliberation, Freya was able to put her mind at ease because she usually did her


    livestreaming on the weekends, which wouldn’t interfere with her work. Thus, she made up her mind


    and sent Edward a text message.


    ‘Edward, please make a post on Twitter that the live streaming will resume next weekend.


    Just when Freya thought Edward had already gone to bed at that ungodly hour, she received a text


    message shortly after.


    ‘Alright, Freya. I’ll post the announcement on Twitterter. So, I’ll see you at your ce next weekend.


    Be there or be square.

    ‘Sure. By the way, I have a present for you. Freya chuckled.


    During the gathering earlier, Inken prepared a lot of gifts for Freya to give to the others. Upon sorting


    them out, she decided that the tea leaves would be given to her master while the pearl nes were


    given to her mother and Isabe. Apart from that, the two delicate embroidered nkets from Vroria


    would be given to Danie and Mrs. Lane. While there was a watch among her gifts, she was thinking


    of giving it to Braxton but quickly changed. her mind because she knew he had a collection of watches.


    Thus, she decided to give the watch to Edward instead.


    Later, Edward was seen waiting at an apartment near Evergreen University, his face written with


    excitement and thrill as he kept his eyes fixated on his phone. In the meantime, Jamie, who was having


    his dinner, looked up at his brother.


    “Why does it seem to me that you can’t wait to get to the Kaufmann Residence?”


    Edward put down his phone in embarrassment, but his vanity got the better of him and prompted him to


    boast. “Freya said she has a present for me.”


    “That’s because it was a courtesy for her to bring some gifts back for her friends after spending two


    weeks in Hartterre for herpetition.” Jamie tried to be a spoilsport.


    “That’s fine by me.”


    Jamie put down his fork and spoon, thinking that Edward had not been himself ever since he knew


    Freya. After all, Jamie shared a simr personality with Edward, who used to be a cool and indifferent


    guy in high school. Despite Edward’s reticence, his brother knew he was belligerent and recalcitrant on


    the inside. Nevertheless, now that he had known Freya, he became soft and mild-mannered.


    Later that night, when Edward announced on Twitter that Freya would resume her live streaming the


    next day, the entire inte was filled with joy and thrill. However, Helga, who was far away in Capitael,


    was so mad that she tossed her phone onto the ground.


    I’m lying in the hospital right now, yet those shareholders won’t stop stirring up trouble and let me


    address those problems peacefully. If I can’t fix them, I’ll be forced to step down. Where are you when I


    need you, Leah? Why can’t I reach you?!


    “You b*tch, Freya!”


    On the other hand, Riley was taking a train from Capitael to Caltun with a fake identity card. in her


    hand, standing near the door. With her phone in the grasp of her palm, she heard at don’t blow man’s


    calm voiceing from the other side. “Stay alert. Make sure you cover.


    The next evening, at around 6 o’clock, Freya was busy tidying her livestreaming room because she


    was not nning to teach her viewers about makeup that day. Instead, she was going to make the


    most highly-demanded tutorial about the recipe for making fragrant incense. Thus, she went on to


    prepare the ingredients just as she heard the doorbell ring.


    “Here I am, Freya.”


    “Come on in.” Freya smiled.


    Edward walked right through the door, his eyes lighting up when they fell upon thedy.


    “There is still time until the live streaming starts at 7:30 p.m. I didn’t think you’d arrive so early. In fact, I


    haven’t even finished preparing everything here.” Freya gazed at Edward with a smile, her hand still


    holding the incense burner.


    “I could give you a hand.” Edward walked further into the house and closer to Freya.


    “No need for that. I’m almost done here anyway. Why don’t you take a look at the device and see if


    everything is in ce? After all, it hasn’t been used for a while.”


    Towering over Freya, Edward looked down and fixed his gaze upon her as she looked like a short child


    to her. What a perfect view! I can take a closer look at her face when she looks up. However, he quickly


    hid his admiration for her to avoid letting Freya see through him. After gazing at her for a few seconds,


    he took his eyes off her and checked the devices.


    The machine was draped with a dust cover, and the room was cleaned daily by maids, so there was


    hardly any dust on it.


    By the time she finished arranging things, he had already finished adjusting the machine.


    “It’s all done, Freya.”


    “That’s fast.” Freya took a look at the time and said, “There’s still half an hour until the live streaming


    starts. So, I might as well make use of that time to present your gift to you.” She then reached for the


    box that contained the watch, which she left on the table a long time ago.


    “Come here, Edward.”


    Edward did as Freya told him to, unable to contain his excitement.


    Soon, Freya opened the box and took the watch out of it before putting it on Edward’s wrist. “You’re a


    grown man now, and you need to be mindful of the time. A watch can fix that. Besides, I’d say that a


    watch is one of the things that makes a man look stylish. Upon cing it on Edward’s wrist, Freya


    squinted and looked closer at it.


    “It looks good on you.” Freya nodded with satisfaction.


    At that moment, Edward only felt his fingers tingling as Freya seized his hand. Then, when she took a


    closer look at his wrist, he felt as if there was a burning sensation surging through him.


    “Thanks, Freya.


    “I notice that you don’t usually wear a watch, which I think is probably because it’s inconvenient for you


    when ying basketball. So, if that’s the case, you should probably take it off whenever you see fit, or


    it’s going to hurt your wrist.” Freya gave Edward a gentle reminder.
