It Off

“Am I right?” Freya said coolly.

“I know you don’t like me, but that doesn’t mean you have to go around making nasty assumptions about me and Vivien.” Cheryl looked furious, but she held herself back–likely out of fear for Freya’s status “I’m simply ini a relationship with your father, nothing shady about it.”

“Is that so?” Freya replied, her tone unreadable.

“Yes,” Cheryl answered with conviction.

“In that case, I won’t stand in the way of your marriage to my dad,” Freya said without batting an eye. “You’re free to pick a date for the wedding.”

Cheryl blinked, clearly thrown off. She looked stunned. She hadn’t expected Freya to switch gears so fast. Hadn’t she just been interrogating her a moment ago? How had a couple of sentences turned into a green light for marriage? Freya didn’t strike her as someone who trusted easily.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Freya asked lightly, noticing the reaction she’d anticipated.

Cheryl realized she’d slipped but quickly recomposed herself–she’d always been good at playing calm. “You really approve of me marrying Hugh?”

They hadn’t gotten married yet because Hugh had wanted to wait until his daughters were on board.

“I do.”

“Why?”

“Because, as you said, your relationship is pure–no hidden agenda,” Freya replied, finally steering the conversation to the point. “But before you register the marriage, there’s something I need to say upfront.”

“What is it?” By now, Cheryl was entirely under Freya’s lead.

Freya spoke clearly. “After you marry my dad, Vivien won’t be inheriting anything.”

Cheryl froze.

“The Briggs Group shares have already been passed on to me and Sheila,” Freya continued, fully aware of what Cheryl was after. “And every other investment he owns has been legally documented to go to us too.”

Every word out of her mouth was fact.

After their mother died, Hugh had quietly arranged it all with his lawyer.

Freya had only found out by chance not long ago.

“What?” Cheryl couldn’t hide her shock anymore.

Freya watched her closely.

Sensing Freya’s gaze, Cheryl pulled herself together, adjusting her emotions with practiced ease.

Her gentle act faded noticeably. “That’s fine. As long as you’re okay with me being with your father, the rest can

be discussed.”

“Okay,” Freya responded flatly.

Cheryl looked a little off balance.

Freya didn’t want her father spending his remaining years with someone who only cared about his fortune, so she added a final warning. “And don’t even think about using Vivien for some strategic marriage. This isn’t a fairy tale. In this kind of social circle, if she’s got no real backing, she’ll suffer even if she marries rich.”

Hugh still had a ton of assets.

His savings and properties were enough for Cheryl and Vivien to live comfortably, as long as they didn’t get

greedy.

“Freya,” Cheryl suddenly called out.

Freya had just turned to leave, her voice even as she answered, “What?”

“Could you give Vivien some shares of Briggs Group?” Cheryl couldn’t hold it back anymore. If there was nothing in it for her, why had she been sticking around Hugh? “I want her to marry into a decent family.”

With shares from Briggs Group, Vivien could secure a strong match, and no one would dare to look down on

her.

Freya looked at her, half–amused that she’d dare to say such a thing.

“If you agree, I’ll walk away from everything else and just grow old peacefully with Hugh,” Cheryl rushed to add.

She didn’t mind a modest life; Hugh had always treated her well.

But she had to think about Vivien’s future.

Freya’s tone chilled. “No. I can’t do that.”

Briggs Group was her parents‘ legacy–why should it go to someone outside the family?

“She will be your sister, after all.” Cheryl’s composure finally cracked after hearing Freya’s blunt words. “Can’t you spare a little?”

“You can ask my dad,” Freya said. “See if he’s willing.”

Cheryl’s spirit seemed to falter.

Before leaving, Freya made one last thing clear. “Also, I only have one sister–Sheila.”

With that, she walked away. She couldn’t bring herself to feel sympathy or affection toward Cheryl and Vivien. She couldn’t help but wonder how her father would feel if he found out Cheryl was chasing after his company’s

shares.

With those thoughts circling her mind, Freya returned to the living room.

When Ethel saw her, she looked visibly relieved. Finally, the conversation had ended!

“Where’s my mom?” Vivien asked, puzzled after waiting so long.

Freya remained indifferent. “Outside.”

Vivien stood up and left the room.
