My Ex-wife's Hidden Personalities

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 Callahan family from Hartterre.

Furthermore, you will be my sister-in-law 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 the company 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 Holland family to side with him. Once they formed an alliance with each

other, the Hollands. would have to give up on the Freeman Group. To make matters worse, the Freeman Group has

now become a target that has been surrounded by its enemies. For that, the company 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 blame the Freeman family for chasing Riley away, can you?” Isabella 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 the company’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.” Isabella 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 become quite a celebrity on the

internet due to the competition, 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 account 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’s launching that would take place 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 Twitter later. So, I’ll see you at your place 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 necklaces were given to her mother and

Isabella. Apart from that, the two delicate embroidered blankets from Vroria would be given to Daniella 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 her competition.” 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 similar 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 internet 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

The next evening, at around 6 o’clock, Freya was busy tidying her livestreaming room because she was not

planning 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 the lady.

“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

place? 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 placing 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

playing 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.
