    Chapter 47 What About This Candidate?


    At this. Isabe’s face became flushed. Braxton had been requesting her to do some exercises with


    him quite frequentlytely.


    Freya raised her brows and was about to probe further when the ward door was pushed open.


    Without an invitation and at thiste hour, the person walked in. He didn’t even knock.


    Freya frowned and looked over.


    “Well, what an unusual visitor.” Braxton rxedlyughed as hey on the hospital bed.


    Matthew set the small food container he was holding on the table.


    “My parents said that since we’re friends, I have toe see you now that you’re sick. After all, you are


    the CEO of the Kaufmann Group, and we need to socialize and strengthen our bonds.”


    He spoke bluntly, and Freyaughed on the side. “Did your parents not request that you deliver the


    message in a more sophisticated manner?”


    Matthew shrugged. “It doesn’t matter. After all, this is how your brother and I became friends.”


    Freya became interested and asked, and soon learned about Braxton and Matthew’s past.


    Matthew’s parents preferred their younger son and disliked Matthew, the eldest son. His role was to


    maintain rtionships with various big families in Caltun in order to form a future marriage alliance.


    In other words, he was a chess piece.


    When Matthew would still listen to his parents, he approached Braxton on purpose at the request of his


    parents, solely for Braxton’s position as the Kauffman family heir.

    “At that time, after I got along better with your brother, I was on a mission to see if I could get in touch


    with the Kaufmanns’ precious daughter.”


    Matthew spoke while propping his chin, looking at Freya with a flirtatious smile. “After all, everyone in


    Caltun knows Miss Kaufmann is the Kaufmann family’s darling. My parents even wanted me to marry


    you back then.”


    “And now you don’t want to?” Isabe added fuel to the fire.


    Freya red at her. “Isabe!”


    Matthew looked stunning, and his smile had a certain allure. He looked at Freya and said, “Of course I


    do. but I don’t have the chance.”


    Freya nodded affirmatively. “It’s a good thing you know that.”


    Lost in thought. Braxton shifted his gaze between Matthew and Freya as hey on the sick bed.


    After chatting for a while, they talked about the renovation project in the West Geft, which The Hood


    Group was also interested in.


    Matthew had recently taken over the Hood Group and needed to make a big impression.


    Freya smiled and shook her head. “You have no chance in this. I’ve already set my sights on this


    project.”


    She was well aware of Matthew’s current situation. Even if she gave him the project, he wouldn’t be


    able to handle it.


    His parents, as well as the others of the Hoods, were difficult to deal with. It wasn’t as simple as simply


    handing over the project.


    Freya looked at Isabe and asked, “Is your family interested?”


    Isabe shook her head. “My dad said that both the Monaghans and your family will be bidding for this.


    project, so our chances are slim. It’s not worth the effort.”


    After chatting for a while, Matthew got up and was about to leave. “Hey, Kittie, shall we go together? I


    send you home.”


    “No need. Ayden will send me back in a while.”


    Matthew recognized the name Ayden and in defeat, he walked away.


    As soon as he left. Braxton sent Isabe out of the ward as well.


    So now, only the two siblings were left in the ward.


    Braxton’s face turned serious. “Frey, I just thought of a brilliant idea for you.


    “What is it?”


    “Aren’t you looking for a fake father for your unborn child? What do you think about Matthew?”


    Freya felt like she had been choked andughed out loud. “Brax, are you serious? Matthew?!”


    “Yes, Matthew! The two of you were previously rumored to be dating, right? And weren’t you nning


    to dy the birth of your child by a month? The timing is ideal, and everyone’s suspicions will be


    reduced!”.


    Freya’s face changed slightly: “No, Braxton! Matthew is the CEO of the Hood Group and the only child


    of the Hood family. If you ask him to do this, even if he agrees, his parents will not!”


    Who could possibly ept that their only son is in a fake marriage and that they are epting


    someone else’s son as their own? The wealthy cared a great deal about the ancestry of their offspring.


    There would be way too manyplications!


    However, Braxton persisted. “Hey, trust me on this. I will talk to Matthew and he will agree.”


    Although Braxton was concerned that Matthew would have bad intentions toward his sister, he decided.


    that it was better to find a friend to be the fake father of his future niece. He could also keep an eye on


    things.


    “Despite his reputation, Matthew is a good man at heart, so I don’t have to worry if it’s him,” Braxton


    persuaded.


    Freya frowned. “Brax, drop it. I won’t agree.”


    She might have thought about it if Matthew wasn’t interested in her, but right now it was clear that he


    was. and she didn’t want to make thingsplicated.


    Braxton still wanted to speak but Freya had already gotten to her feet.


    “Alright, Isabe ising back soon. I’m leaving now,


    Braxton quickly added, “He is the best candidate, Frey


    “Rest early tonight! Staying upte isn’t good for your legs recovery.” Freya had already walked to the


    doorN?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    and smiled.


    Braxton’s face changed.” How did you know? You didn’t check my pulse.”


    “I checked Izzy’s when we were sitting together. Her cubit pulse is a little weak.” Freya smiled slyly


    Hearing that, Braxton gritted his teeth. His sister saw through him!


    Braxton frowned and yelled, “Go on! Leave! You’d better not let Izzy hear you!”


    It would be troublesome if Isabe got upset and had a tantrum!


    In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the bidding, and Freya took it very seriously and went to the site


    in


    person.


    Freya and thepany representatives arrived at the official location, where many representatives


    from other businesses had already arrived and were seated in their ces.


    There would be three rounds of bidding, with the first round removing more than half of the offers.


    Recently, Freya noticed that she was experiencing multiple bouts of nausea and vomiting in a day. Her


    waist was slightly bulging, but luckily, she was wearing loose clothes, making it difficult to tell.


    She sat in the position of the Kaufmann Group, surrounded by several executives.


    Just then, a low whisper erupted, and Freya looked up to see Radley walk in.


    The man was tall in stature, with a paleplexion and an aura that kept people at a distance.


    The seats of the Monaghan Group and the Kaufmann Group were next to each other, and when Ra


    walked over and saw Freya, he nodded.


    In here, everyone was apetitor, and Freya nodded in response.


    The bidding began, and arge number of groups were eliminated. The out-of-town bidders were also


    eliminated because they didn’t understand the situation in Caltun as well as the localpanies.


    When the second round began, there were only seven or eightpanies left.


    Among them were the Kaufmanns, the Monaghans, and the Hoods.


    The representatives of the groups stepped forward, presented their designs and ns to the person in


    charge of the bidding, and exined them on the side.


    At this point, everyone recognized Freya’s proposal as more humanistic, focusing on building


    renovation while preserving West Geft’s charming semi-antiquity. On the other hand, Radley had a


    long-term. viewpoint and rmended building more hospitals and institutions for cultural education.

    Given how intently the person in charge was listening to both ns, it was clear that he was having
