NovelEnglishLooking up, Radley waved when he saw Freya enter.
Freya walked over and sat down next to Radley. “You heard it too.”
Radley nodded. “I’ll handle it.”
“No need. Helga did this because she resented what happened before.”
Freya frowned. “I just don’t understand why she suddenly dared to do something like this. She clearly knows that Wonder Aroma
is a brand under the Monaghan Group and that Wild Wood is my creation. Has Helga become so audacious?”
In the previous competition, Helga lost to her in the end, and because of her series of foolish actions, she gained a notorious
reputation.
It is normal to hate her, but Helga knows that she is from the Kaufmann family and that this brand belongs to the Monaghan
Group.
Who gives her the audacity to offend both families at once?
Radley’s voice was heavy. “When I saw the news, I already had someone investigate. Helga’s studio recently. received support
from the Donnelly family of Capitael
“The Donnelly family?” Freya furrowed her brow. “The Donnelly family in Caltun?”
“Yes.”
“Then, I understand.” Freya sneered. “The Donnelly family has been wanting to focus their company’s efforts in Caltun in recent
years, but they have always been suppressed by our two families. In Caltun, they can only be ranked third, but their methods
used to be smarter. Fabricating such scandals would have minimal impact on the company.”
“There must be a reason.” Radley’s gaze was deep. “I will handle this matter. You don’t need to worry. Just focus on preparing
for the press conference. Before the conference, I will investigate thoroughly.”
Freya sighed heavily.
After discussing Helga with Radley for a while, her phone in her bag rang. She took it out and glanced at it. It was a call from
Hannah.
“Hannah’s calling. Has she been in contact with the family recently?” Freya looked up at Radley and asked.
Radley shook his head. “If she has been in contact, it would probably be with my mother privately. It’s unlikely for her to contact
me.”
Freya made a gesture to silence Radley and answered the call.
“Hello, Hannah.”
On the other end, Hannah’s voice sounded hesitant. “Freya, where are you right now?”
Freya’s eyes flickered Tim in the Monaghan Group and inside the Wonder Aroma office.”
Freya’s voice was gentle: “Hannah, just tell me if there’s anything. I’m the only one in the office.”
Hannah’s voice was filled with embarrassment: “I wanted to ask you about the financial situation of the Kaufmann Group. You
mentioned there were some issues before, so what’s the status now?”
Freya pursed her lips, feeling a pang of sympathy for Hannah. She had a good idea of why Hannah made. this call.
As the daughter of the Monaghan family, Hannah grew up in luxury, and although she can be difficult at times, she is always
straightforward with people she likes.
It isn’t easy for her to make this difficult request.
Freya clenched her fists, but she couldn’t let her guard down at this moment.
The funds are still the same. Quite troublesome,” she replied. “Fortunately, the jewelry you lent me last time helped cover some
of it, but we’re still quite short. I’m planning to discuss with Vroria, my grandmother’s side, and see if my uncle can lend me some
money.”
After speaking, she asked, “What’s wrong?”
There was complete silence on the other end. After a few seconds, Hannah forced a smile and said, “It’s nothing, really.”
Freya narrowed her eyes, “Hannah, are you still running away from home? Is it because you don’t have any money? If you’re
short on money, let me send you some money as pocket money.”
“No, I just wanted to ask about your situation. I’m... not lacking money here.”
After ending the call with Hannah, Freya looked at her phone, lost in thought. I can probably guess why Hannah called. It’s
probably because Baxter Smith can’t hold on anymore and wants Hannah to ask her family for money to open a bar.
Freya looked up at Radley and said, “Let your mom know that we absolutely cannot give her that money.”
If Baxter finds out that the Monaghan family can easily come up with two billion, he will probably stick to Hannah like a leech for
the rest of his life.
Radley’s eyes turned cold. “I know.”
After saying that, Freya’s phone rang again. She glanced at it and saw that it was a bank account number sent by Hannah.
Freya replied: ‘Okay’
She showed the message to Radley and furrowed her brow. “Did you freeze all of Hannah’s cards?”
“Yes, otherwise, life would be too easy for her. She wouldn’t be able to see the true face of that person.” Radley replied.
In an apartment on Clearwater Lane, Hannah sat on the sofa. It was still morning, but the curtains were tightly closed, creating a
dim space. She looked at her phone with a complex expression on her face.
I know Freya has been through a tough time lately, and I want to help her. However, I can’t handle the situation here myself
either.
Hannah looked in the direction of the bedroom door. This apartment had two bedrooms, and she and Baxter each had their ownL
Sitting on the couch now, she could hear Baxter’s snoring coming from the other room.
Their expenses were too high. She had never had the concept of money before, and she usually used her brother’s
supplementary card for expenses. There was no limit on the card, so she could swipe it whenever she pleased..
Therefore, she never had the idea of saving money.
After running away from home this time, she had thought it through..
The average salary of Caltun is just over ten thousand dollars, and I’ve brought her credit card with me, thinking that I can live a
normal life with Baxter for a while. However, I never anticipated that my brother would cancel my credit card the second day after
I left home. I initially did not take it seriously since I still have over eight hundred thousand in my bank account.
Since Baxter is currently unemployed, I’d gradually transfer the money to him.
Lately, Baxter has been going to the bar to “learn” every day, and he returned last night to inform me that all the money is gone.
Hannah tightly pursed her lips, and only a few thousand dollars remained in her bank account.
Baxter’s words from last night echoed in her mind.
Hannah, if we want to learn from the bar’s business philosophy, we can’t be stingy. We have to be generous to people. You know
how expensive it is to open a bottle of wine in a bar. It costs tens of thousands.”
The logic was there, but Hannah couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. She pursed her lips tightly and finally opened
the group chat with her sisters, who were her close friends.
Hannah messaged one of them and asked to borrow one million.
The person quickly replied: ‘One million? Hannah, you know that my family is just an average family. We would probably have to
sell our house for one million!
Hannah let out a sigh and replied: ‘Sorry.”
Resting her chin on her hand, she hesitated before awkwardly opening another sister’s bank account number.
Half an hour later, Hannah went from feeling awkward to somewhat angry. I never judge my friends based on their family
backgrounds. These sisters are the ones I have considered to be close with, and I’ve spent millions on them over the years! I
never expected that, at this moment, not a single person is willing to lend a helping hand.
