Chapter 40 Ashley''s Ridiculous Request
Freya dismissed any desire to debate with Ashley. "Sure, you''re right"
Ashley sensed her words vanishing into emptiness. Never before had she encountered someone like Freys
"Don''t imagine that Kristian''s generous divorce settlement indicates any emotional attachment Actually. Ashley restrained a powerful wave of fury that threatened to shatter Freya''sposed exterior. Why did Freya consistently project such an air of superiority during their interactions when she herself feltpletely
disregarded?
Freya''s attention was bombarded by Ashley''s relentless prattle. For the first time, she discovered someone who
irritated her to such an extreme degree.
Previously, she had considered women the most charming beings in existence, certainly true of her sister and
friends.
Now, however, she genuinely contemted hurling Ashley through the nearest window.
"Have you finished?" Freya refused to squander another moment on her.
Ashley teetered on the edge of losing her self-control. "Freya Briggs!"
"Your conversation holds no interest for me. If you''ve arrived merely to discuss such inconsequential matters, just get out of my face." Freya maintainedplete detachment throughout. Ashley''s intellectual caliber fell too far below her own to warrant engaging in any battle of wits.
Ashley felt deeply wronged. The confrontation she had envisioned unfolded nothing like this. Freya should have challenged her verbally, perhaps even insulted her physically. Only then could she weep andin to Kristian, turning him against Freya. This strategy would eliminate any concerns about Kristian regretting their
divorce.
Shepressed her lips and proposed, "I need to discuss something extremely significant with you. Let''s continue our conversation downstairs."
Freya countered, "If you have something tomunicate, express it here."
Ashley pressed her lips together and remained silent.
Freya simply observed her without reaction.
They reached an impasse.
After approximately a minute, Freya''s endurance evaporated. She entered the room, retrieved herptop, then
closed the door and went downstairs.

Ashley hastily followed.
Once they reached the street, Ashley indicated a nearby café. "Let''s talk there"
Freyapletely disregarded her and signaled for a taxi
Ashley stood bewildered.
She immediately pursued the vehicle and obstructed its path. I genuinely need to discuss something important with you!"
"Please proceed," Freya instructed the driver without sparing Ashley a nce.
Shemented not purchasing a car earlier to keep in the garage. Now, leaving presented considerable difficulty.
"Youngdy, perhaps you should step out and conclude your conversation with your friend," the driver suggested, hesitating to drive while Ashley blocked their path. “She appears to have an urgent matter."
Freya felt tremendous reluctance.
Ashley clung like an inescapable shadow, impossible to get rid of.
She gazed through the car window, contemted briefly, and for the sake of future tranquility, exited the
vehicle.
Ashley no longer impeded their way.
Five minutester, they upied window seats in that café.
After Ashley ordered beverages, Freya inquired directly, "What requires such urgency?"
"Do you love Kristian?" Ashley abruptly questioned.
Freya appeared perplexed.
Ashley borated. "I care deeply for him."
Freya''s confusion intensified.
"Are you aware of why our rtionship previously dissolved?" Ashley probed further.
Freya''s eyes settled on her, revealing growing impatience. "You had better truly have something meaningful to
discuss."
"I recognize that Kristian ending your marriage for my sake created an injustice toward you, but I simply cannot relinquish him."
Ashley''s fingers tightened subtly as she bit her lip and continued, "Earlier, doctors diagnosed me with a terminal condition, forcing me to painfully sever our rtionship. I harbored no hope then, but remarkably, I recoveredter. After my rehabilitation, I reconnected with him and revealed the truth, precipitating our current circumstances."
n?"
Freya''s voice crystallized with cial intensity. "Should I present you with an de for that rev "Please don''t ridicule me. I''vee seeking your assistance." Ashley struggled to articte her thoughts, recognizing that only Freya possessed the influence necessary for her request.

After a prolonged silence, she finally voiced her appeal. "Would you advocate on
my behalf to Kristian''s family, encouraging them to ept me? My feelings for Kristian run extraordinarily deep."
Freya suspended her casual interaction with her phone.
She essed a group conversation and, uncharacteristically,posed a
message. "Do I resemble someone devoid of intelligence?"
First Kristian had presumed upon her foolishness; now Ashley followed suit. Had
they collectively determined shecked backbone?
The message provoked immediate astonishment and confusion among her friends.
Riley Jenkins inquired with concern, "Has your ount beenpromised?" Frederick followed with, "Freya, what exactly are you implying?"
Freya responded to these messages whilepletely disregarding Ashley''s presence.
Typically, during interpersonal discussions, she would refrain from phone engagement, considering such behavior discourteous.
However, courtesy remained reserved for actual people, not refuse.
Freya borated to her friends. "Kristian''s first love has just expressed her profound attachment to him and requested that I intercede with his family for her eptance."
Following this revtion, a cascade of question marks flooded the conversation.
After this initial reaction subsided, Frederick responded first, "Has shepletely
detached from rational thought to suggest something so outrageous?" Riley contributed, "Offer her financialpensation to seek psychiatric evaluation."
Another participant, Greta Price, interjected, "Direct her to me. I possess specialized expertise in addressing cases of extraordinary shamelessness."
Frederick expressed. "This situation provokes intense indignation!"
Unexpectedly, Greta countered, "Fulfill her request immediately and thoroughly!"
This suggestion bewildered both Frederick and Riley.
However, Freyaprehended Greta''s strategic intention instantly, her lips forming a subtle curve as she replied, "Agreed."
After this response, she deactivated her phone disy.
Frederick and Riley expressedplete outrage, questioning why Freya would amodate someone so transparently maniptive. Had Freya genuinely consented?
They bombarded Greta with demands for rification.
"If you amodate my request, I guarantee that during any future difficulties, I''ll persuade Kristian to provide assistance," Ashley dered with apparent sincerity, as though extending a tremendous favor to Freya.

Freya elevated her gaze slightly, her speech notably eleratedpared to her
previous pace. "Very well."
Ashley momentarily faltered. Very well? Her cognitive processinggged briefly. Considering Freya''s established personality, shouldn''t she harbor animosity toward her and reject her proposition outright? Ashley questioned hesitantly. "You''ve agreed?"
"Indeed." Freya located Lionel''s contact information and inquired of Ashle“I''ll initiate this immediately. Does that timing satisfy you?"
"Yes." Ashley confirmed.
Her expression revealed uncontainable satisfaction, while internally she
dismissed Freya as intellectually
deficient.
Freya initiated a call to Lionel, who answered promptly.
"Hello, Lionel, this is Freya speaking," she began with measured lightness, her
tone deliberately gentle. "I mustmunicate something significant, so prepare yourself ordingly."
Lionel, who cherished Freya deeply, participated in her conversational approach.
“I''m adequately prepared. My dear, please proceed with your message.”
