Chapter 319 She Hates Freya
Edward was beginning to despise Riley since he knew Freya better than anyone else and understood how kind she
was.
Freya, don’t be angry. Edward didn’t know how to comfort Freya, so he could only send a brief message to her.
She chuckled and replied, ‘Did you see the trending topic?
Yeah, my brother saw it too. He said Riley is both malicious and foolish.”
That assessment is quite accurate.
She laughed. ‘Don’t worry, I won’t get upset with someone of such low intelligence.
“Take care, Freya. I’ll come see you when you return.’
Freya smiled. It had been a long time since she had seen Edward, plus she would have to visit her master after
returning. She hadn’t even greeted her master before participating in the competition this time, not to mention
Madam Daniella.
As she contemplated this, her phone rang again. It was Radley this time. ‘Do we need to address the trending
topic?”
What does it have to do with him?
Even as Freya secretly complained, a warm feeling suddenly surged inside her, and she typed out, ‘No need. I’ll
clarify it myself.
After she had sent the message, Radley sent back a video. Freya’s eyes lit up after watching it, and she
immediately opened her Twitter app to post the video.
She was already one of the central figures in this discussion, so as soon as the video was posted, the internet
immediately exploded.
‘Why haven’t I seen this video in the live stream?”
‘D*mn, is Riley really that mean?’
On the second floor of the villa, Riley looked at the direction of the discussion and smirked. When she discovered
the trending topic, she immediately thought that Freya must have intentionally started it.
Riley was quite angry. Freya pretended to be righteous but secretly did such a despicable thing! Fortunately, Riley
had a few netizens working for her, and she became even happier
seeing that everyone was starting to curse Freya.
There was a sound outside the door, and Riley’s assistant hurriedly walked in. “Miss Freeman, you must see the
video Freya has posted at once!”
“What has she posted?” Riley went to Freya’s Twitter profile and saw that she had posted a new video, so she
clicked on it and took a look. A familiar voice came from the video, which
was her own.
“There aren’t any cameras here, so I’ll just be frank. I told them about your prepared.
ingredients and let everyone take what they wanted. If you go after them now, you’ll offend everyone in this room.”
Riley was frozen in place.
Wait a minute! There were no cameras around the parasol, so why did Freya have a video of that?
Freya’s video had been circulating online for a while now, causing quite a stir.
‘D*mn, Riley is really horrible.”
‘She’s truly despicable. Is this how the heiress of the Freeman family behaves? How shameless!”
The tide had turned almost instantly.
Freya stretched lazily before putting her phone down, but after some thought, she sent a message to Radley.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt‘How did you get this video?’
Freya stared at the screen, pursing her lips: ‘You aren’t secretly spying on me under the guise of being an investor,
are you?’
Radley quickly replied: ‘I’m not spying on you but Riley.
Radley had prepared several mini cameras and placed them inside and outside Villa No. 4 since the day Riley
caused trouble for Freya, and there happened to be a hidden camera concealed in the umbrella frame on the day
Riley and Freya argued under the parasol.
Riley looked at the criticism online and was on the verge of breaking down. Being publicly humiliated like this by
having the video released made her so angry she wanted to cry.
That b*tch Freya!
“It was just a quarrel, but she decided to ruin my reputation!”
No, she’s already ruined it now.
Riley’s assistant approached and tried to console her: “Miss Freeman, don’t get angry.”
Riley immediately slapped her. “Didn’t you say there were no cameras there?!”
Riley’s usually arrogant assistant cowered and dared not move. “Miss Freeman, I really didn’t. notice any cameras
there.”
Riley wanted to strike her again, but then her phone rang. Glancing at it, she saw that it was her father calling.
Thinking about her father’s strictness, she trembled and hesitantly. answered the call.
An angry voice echoed in the room: “Riley, come back immediately!”
Trembling, Riley replied, “Dad, I’m currently in the middle of a competition. Let me complete it first.”
“Are you participating in it or embarrassing our family? I’ve been watching the live broadcast over the past few
days! Is this how I have taught you since childhood? Why do you have to have a disagreement with Freya?”
“Dad! It’s obviously Freya who has a problem with me! What do you think she wanted when she intentionally posted
that video online?” Riley gritted her teeth. “Our family is not inferior to hers! Why are you siding with her, Dad?”
Her father’s anger intensified. “Do you think Freya only has her family’s support? She also has the Marshalls on her
side, and even Radley Monaghan admires her! Do you have to cause trouble before you’re satisfied?”
Radley Monaghan?
Riley paused, quickly recalling the handsome and elegant man before clenching her fists.
Why does Freya always get the best of everything?
After some effort, she tearfully promised her father that she would never provoke Freya again. Only then did her
father angrily hang up the phone.
In the room, Riley’s assistant looked at her while cowering. “Miss Freeman, let’s ignore Freya from now on and treat
her as if she’s invisible.”
Ignoring Freya?
Riley’s gaze turned cold. Freya had caused this, and Riley couldn’t possibly accept it?
The internet was buzzing, though Freya had merely completely cleared her name from the
bullying rumors. She stayed in the room until 5:30 p.m., then sent a message to Inken to ask about Brisa’s situation.
There was no progress on that end, so Freya helplessly put down her phone.
She was about to take out some materials to make incense when an announcement came through the intercom.
“All participating contestants, please go to the villa at the northern edge of Pink Beach before 6:30 p.m.”
6:30 p.m.?
She raised an eyebrow, realizing that she only had an hour left. Dusting off her hands, she prepared to change into
more casual attire.
Just then, she heard the intercom announcement go on. “We have a surprise for everyone today, so we hope you
all dress up for the occasion.”
Dress up?
Freya furrowed her brow, realizing that she had only brought a few casual clothes and a formal suit for the
competition. As she rummaged through her wardrobe, she speculated on the production team’s intentions.
They were probably planning a dinner party.
However, her formal suit was gray, which clearly didn’t match the festive atmosphere of a dinner party. Just as she
was fretting, she heard a knock on the door.
Chapter 319 Secret Threat
“Miss Kaufmann, are you in there?” A girl’s voice trembled.
Freya opened the door to see Leah standing before it.
“Leah, what do you need?” Freya smiled gently.
Leah looked at Freya’s stunning face, heart stuttering. Miss Kaufmann really resembled a goddess and, more
importantly, gentle enough that she even remembered Leah’s name.
Feeling a little embarrassed, Leah handed over the box she was holding. “I was at the director’s office just now and
met Mr. West, who was the one introduced as the Monaghan family representative. He asked me to give this to
you.”
Freya was a little surprised, knowing that Leah was referring to Connor, and took the box. from Leah before
thanking her warmly. “Thank you. Please come in and have a seat.”
Freya had a good impression of Leah, though the latter seemed timid. However, Leah shouldn’t be afraid of such
things at her age.
Freya put the box down and opened it while Leah sat on the sofa in the room, feeling a bit. uneasy and curious as
she looked around. After Freya opened the box, she saw a dazzling evening gown inside. It looked extremely
luxurious up close and shimmered in the sunlight. The intricate and delicate hand embroidery on the dress was
visible, but from a distance, the dress looked ethereal.
Leah had never seen such a beautiful dress before, and her eyes widened in amazement. “Wow, what a beautiful
dress.”
Freya chuckled softly. “I have been worried that I won’t have anything to wear tonight, but now that’s resolved.”
“Miss Kaufmann, why don’t you try it on now?” Leah eagerly suggested. “We still have an hour before we go to the
beach.”
Freya nodded. The dress was handmade, so the process of putting it on was complex and meticulous. However, the
most troublesome part was the lacing at the back. If she wanted to put it on, she would indeed need someone’s
help.
“Thank you for your trouble.” Freya expressed her gratitude.
After putting on the dress, she held up the hem and was surprised to find that the dress fit her body perfectly.
Her gaze flashed briefly. How did Radley know her measurements?
Leah stood behind Freya and gently tied the laces, afraid to hurt Freya. “Does the dress fit you comfortably, Miss
Kaufmann?”
Freya responded, “That’s enough. Thank you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a loud rumble from Leah’s stomach.
Freya was surprised, “At this hour? Did you not have lunch, or are you still hungry?”
Leah’s face darkened slightly before she stuttered, “I-I was busy during lunch, so I didn’t eat.”
Freya furrowed her brows. After all these years, she still had a good read on people, and Leah’s stuttered speech
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand shifting eyes were obvious signs of lying. Freya had given Leah a lot of snacks only yesterday, so Leah shouldn’t
have finished all the snacks by now. Plus, there was no competition today, so what could she be busy with? Freya
had also given Leah a hundred gold coins at lunchtime, so Leah shouldn’t be hungry.
Freya didn’t press Leah for answers since the latter didn’t seem willing to talk. Instead, she walked off to one side,
took a pack of biscuits from the snack box, and handed it to Leah. “I guess there will be a banquet tonight. If you
eat too much, those boring and nosy people will make fun of you, but if you don’t eat, you won’t be full. Just have
some biscuits as a snack.”
Leah took the biscuits from Freya’s hand and bit her lip. “Miss Kaufmann, you’re really kind. to me. You treat me
even better than my own sister does.”
Freya didn’t pay much attention and chuckled lightly. “You have a sister?”
After asking, Leah fell silent. “Um-”
Freya noticed Leah’s hesitant eyes and her conflicted expression and couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, you should
go back to your room and get ready. You’ve spent so long helping me with my dress. Should I accompany you and
help you with that?”
Leah shook her head hurriedly, “No need, Miss Kaufmann. I don’t have any formal attire, so I’ll just wear something
casual.”
Freya didn’t say much, either.
In the director’s office, Radley watched the video of Freya on the monitor. Each contestant’s room had surveillance
cameras, which were only covered when they changed or slept. He pondered for a few seconds, then turned to
Connor, “Go investigate Leah’s background.”
Connor nodded and left while the chief director beside him discreetly wiped his sweat. Leah was just a contestant,
and a female one at that. Did the CEO really have to investigate her background just because she had a few
conversations with Miss Kaufmann? The CEO seemed to be paying too much attention to Miss Kaufmann. He should
be more careful in the future!
After leaving the room. Freya didn’t immediately leave but instead waited for Leah on the first floor. Leah came
down after about ten minutes, wearing a beautiful dress with a coat. However, it clearly did not meet the dress
code required by the program.
Seeing Freya, Leah was somewhat surprised. “Miss Kaufmann, haven’t you left yet?”
“I was waiting for you.” Freya smiled. “The northern shore of Pink Beach is quite far We can talk on the way.”
away.
Leah immediately nodded excitedly. Among the contestants, Leah was the only one who hadn’t brought an
assistant. It wasn’t that she didn’t bring one; it was because she simply. didn’t have one. Besides, Freya’s assistant,
Brisa, was not there today, so the two of them. could walk to the north shore together.
Contestants occasionally passed them as they were accompanied by their assistants. After walking for a while,
Freya and Leah heard someone calling them from behind. Freya heard. that it was Helga and felt annoyed.
Looking at Helga coldly, she said, “Miss Zander, do you have something to say?”
Helga smiled and glanced at the remote cameras that were positioned at certain intervals above them. Seeing that
there were no surveillance cameras around, she said, “Miss Kaufmann, you don’t have to call me Miss Zander
anymore from now on. It sounds too formal. Just call me Lya.”
“Lya?” Freya sneered inwardly but maintained a calm expression. “Then, I might as well just call you Helga.”
Helga hated her name the most since she thought it sounded very tacky. She was still puzzled by what her mother
had thought then. She glared at Freya, feeling as if she was doing it on purpose. “That’s also acceptable, but I have
been using the name Lya. professionally. So, I am more accustomed to being called that.”
“Alright,” Freya replied nonchalantly.
Helga glanced at Leah, who was standing next to Freya, and smiled curiously. “Miss Kaufmann, why haven’t I seen
Brisa today? I saw her engaging in a heated argument on Twitter earlier. She’s quite fierce. Why hasn’t she made
an appearance since then, though? I hope nothing has happened to her.”
