?Chapter 327:


    While previous coborations with Shaw Group had gone well, the fact that it was Kristian’spany made her eager to push for better terms.


    n didn’t argue. He knew Freya had a sharp business mind.


    Later, after securing the project, Robin invited her to stay for a meal, but Freya politely declined. Melvin had been waiting for her downstairs for over two hours, and they had to head back to her ownpany.


    As soon as Freya stepped out of the office, Hugh arrived.


    He had been searching the entire building for her but couldn’t find her. Finally, he made his way to n. “Have you seen Mina?”


    “She just left,” n replied nonchntly.


    “Left?” Hugh’s brows furrowed. “Didn’t you ask her to stay for a meal?” He had just ordered all of Freya’s favorite dishes, hoping to catch her before she left.


    “She had something urgent,” n exined with a slight hint of mischief. “In the future, you might want to be more cautious about who you bring into thepany. She might not voice her objections, but she carries negative feelings.”


    Hugh immediately understood that Freya was still upset with him.


    Meanwhile, Freya wasn’t dwelling on that matter. After leaving Briggs Group, she joined Melvin in the car. He had been waiting for her patiently for over two hours.


    They headed straight for a restaurant, where Melvin had already made a reservation, knowing exactly what dishes Freya liked. He wasn’t one to be too extravagant but understood her preferences.


    Just as they arrived, Freya’s phone buzzed with a message from Hugh. “Come home for dinner tonight, okay?”


    Freya didn’t bother replying. She had just humiliated Vivien at thepany, and Vivien would surely go back andin to her mother. Freya didn’t know the woman her father was dating and didn’t want to jump to conclusions.


    ???????????????? ????????????: g????????ν????????????


    But she definitely didn’t want to sit through a dinner while her father took calls from that woman. Turning down the dinner invitation seemed like the best course of action.


    As they dined, Freya overheard a voice she could do without.


    “It was because of a woman that I got fired.” Vivien’s voice wasn’t too loud, but it carried just enough for Freya to hear. “You have no idea how humiliating it was. That woman told the whole nning department that I’d never be allowed into Briggs Group again. I didn’t even make a scene. It’s not my fault!”


    Vivien’s anger boiled over. “I told you it was that woman causing all this trouble. I’ve been working hard, and today they just fired me without warning!”


    She paused, clearly frustrated with the person on the other end of the line. “No matter what happens, it’s always my fault. You always defend him. Let’s see how calm you stay when he leaves you for that woman.”


    Vivien hung up the phone angrily and slumped into a chair. A man sitting beside her gently tried tofort her.


    “Didn’t I tell you to talk calmly with your mom?” he said softly.


    “You saw for yourself,” Vivien replied, seething. “She won’t listen to me. She thinks I must have done something wrong to offend Hugh Briggs. I don’t know what spell he’s cast on her.”


    The man sighed, then said gently, “Alright, don’t get upset. I’ll talk to her when I get the chance. You can count on your uncle.”


    That single sentence caught Freya’s attention. He was Vivien’s uncle?
