Freya remained silent.


    Johanna leaned closer and said, "Freya, look, Lnd has apologized. You don''t have to take it to heart. Kids say things without weighing their words."


    "Johanna, Lnd is hardly a child. He''s of age now."


    Thatment left Johanna speechless.


    Freya continued, "Let me rify again while we''re on the subject. The Dawson family is under my name. So is thepany. Everything Dad left behind, except for the five million you two got and your right to stay in the Dawson family, is mine. If you keep yelling at me, don''t me me for forgetting our years of acquaintance and kicking you two out. I assure you won''t win in court." Freya''s message was crystal clear.


    Lnd''s face grew darker by the moment, and Johanna''s expression turned just as grim. Seeing they both understood the gravity of their situation, Freya turned and walked upstairs.


    "What does Freya mean by that?" In anger, Lnd mmed his ss onto the floor.


    Freya, still on the staircase, paused. Lnd''s outburst was a vent of his frustration towards her.


    She said, "In the Dawson family, everything belongs to me. Lnd, remember to pay for whatever you break. I''ll be checking."


    "You!" Lnd, furious, was about to confront Freya upstairs when Johanna held him back, saying, "Son, stop this nonsense!"


    "Mom! She''s going too far!"


    "What can we do when Gavin left everything to Freya?" Johanna was furious. That was their reward after all the effort she put into looking after Gavin!


    Lnd swore, "We can''t let Freya keep walking over us, Mom. I won''t stand for it!"


    "You have to, even if you don''t want to. Now''s the time to hold your tongue." Johanna took a deep breath and said, "I refuse to believe Freya will remain unmarried. Once she joins the Sutton family, she won''t have the time or energy to meddle in the Dawson family''s affairs. That''s when I''ll reim what''s ours!"


    However, Johanna had another pressing issue to deal with.


    Today, she had blown through twelve million in savings. It wasn''t an issue when she had the final say in thepany. But then, she wasn''t allowed to go to the office, and no one listened to what she said


    Having been fired over their affair, Galen couldn''t help, either. Though Freya hadn''t exposed the embezzlement, Johanna could no longer embezzle thepany funds.


    And what could Gavin''s five million do? It wasn''t even enough to send Lnd overseas for his studies!


    With that in mind, Johanna said,


    "Lnd, your birthday is the day


    after tomorrow. I want you to make a good impression. I''ve arranged everything for you. You need to


    make me proud!"


    The idea of mingling with business magnates, arranged by Johanna, left Lnd feeling sullen.


    He despised dealing with those old fogies the most! He had hoped to inherit the family wealth without a hitch, but Freya threw a wrench into his ns.


    With no other choice, Lnd grudgingly agreed, "Yeah, I got it."Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
