Chapter 66 Be His Partner

Radley’s eyes flickered slightly. “It’s tonight at 7. The Joint Department will be off work in the afternoon, so we can go there directly.”

Freya was excited. “Okay, should we dress formally?”

“Just formal wear will do.” Radley stared at Freya’s excited face. “But aren’t you concerned about your family’s conflict with the Vincents? They were a notorious mafia in Iternia in the past.”

Freya smiled. “It’s just a minor conflict that has been blown out of proportion.”

Radley smiled for a moment. “Since I’m taking you there, as a favor, I would like to know more about this conflict.”

Freya thought for a moment. “It’s nothing too complicated. The son of the Vincent family, Soli Vincent, was interested in me. However, his way of showing interest was too aggressive, and my brother ended up beating him.”

At that time, the Vincent family had just arrived in Caltun from Iternia. Although her brother’s beating wasn’t hard, Soli happened to fall and hit his head, and the injury nearly killed him.

Freya recounted the incident.

Radley frowned slightly. The only son of the Vincent family almost died, and you call that a small

conflict?

Freya smiled brilliantly. “Well, it was an accident. Although the Vincent family still has a grudge, we’re all in Caltun. So, they won’t say anything even if I go to the banquet.”

Radley went silent for a few seconds as he didn’t expect Freya to be that thick-skinned.

Now that he had Freya’s consent, he got up and planned to leave.

As Freya escorted him for two steps to the door, Radley turned and looked at her wrist.

“That’s a nice bracelet.”

“Thank you. It is a gift from Edward,” Freya said casually.

Radley’s eyes dummed slightly. “Freya, Edward is not a child anymore.”

I know. He is a college student.”

Radley inexplicably felt a little blocked in his heart. Doesn’t she get what I’m trying to say? NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

However, that beautiful face of hers showed a truly candid expression

During the whole afternoon in the Joint Department. Freya listened to several reports until 5 pm. Since she was dressed in formal attire, there was no need to change her clothes. So, she went straight to Radley’s office after work

He was still reviewing a document. “Please have a seat. Il be done in five minutes.”

“It’s okay. I’m not in a hurry.” Freya sat on the sofa in the office while Connor poured her a cup of tea.

Inside the simple layout office, Freya was drinking tea. Through the hot steam, she unintentionally gazed · at Radley.

When he was serious, there was a hint of coldness in his deep brows and eyes.

Freya couldn’t help but sigh inwardly as she realized some people seemed to be created by the universe. with ill intentions toward ordinary people.

During the time she spent working with Radley, Freya was able to witness his talent, meticulous thinking, and strategic courage. The wealth and prosperity of the Monaghan family for several generations had cultivated his noble demeanor and manners.

He had all the advantages and was also incredibly handsome. In ancient times, such a man would have been a king. But nowadays, it would create a distance between people.

Freya was lost in thought for a moment as she could understand how she had been blinded by him for the past two years.

If she didn’t know that Radley was a se mbag now, she might have chosen him as her boyfriend.

As Freya was staring at him absent-mindedly, she saw him suddenly raise his head and looked at her.

Shocked, she almost shook the teacup in her hand before coughing lightly and moving her gaze away.

Radley was very punctual. He finished reviewing the docuiment in exactly five minutes and noticed Freya “peeking” at him.

His mood inexplicably improved, and there was a hint of a smile on his lips. “Sorry to keep you waiting.”

Connor walked into the office. “Mr. Monaghan, the car is ready.”

Radley stood up. “Let’s go.”

The Vincent family held the banquet in a mansion located on the outskirts; it was pure Baroque architecture that was extravagantly luxurious.

On the way, Radley and Freya discussed the theme of the banquet.

The daughter of the Vincents, Doris Vincent, had turned eighteen this year. Thus, the banquet was considered to be her coming-of-age ceremony.

Freya was indifferent. “I’m not interested in Miss Vincent, and I just want to see that famous tenon- mortise

master.”

However, when the car arrived at the mansion, she realized she had underestimated the situation. The long red carpet made her scalp tingle.

“Is this a banquet or a fashion show?” She turned to Radley. “And this is what you meant by just dressing formally?”

Radley nodded. “There’s no strict requirement to wear formal dresses. Besides, I think you look better than them.”

It was rare for Freya to hear him compliment her, so she was a little choked up.

Meanwhile, Radley had already gotten out of the car, walked to the other side, and gallantly opened the door for her.

Gritting her teeth, Freya got out of the car and whispered, “If I didn’t know you, I would think you deliberately wanted me to make a fool of myself!”

The phrase “if I didn’t know you” melted a bit of the coldness in Radley’s eyes.

Freya placed her hand on Radley’s arm and walked forward with him with a faint smile.

Today, she wore a black waistcoat that complemented her tall, slender figure. When she stood beside the dignified and aloof Radley, they looked like a perfect match.

The media on both sides of the red carpet whispered in the discussion.

“Is that Radley Monaghan and Freya Kaufmann? Didn’t they get divorced?”

“Yes, that’s them. I just wrote a gossip article about them recently!”

“Freya looks better in person than on camera. They look so good together and have similar status.”

Freya and Radley stood side by side, their strong auras creating an eerie sense of harmony neither could overshadow.

“I think Radley and Danna make a great pair, with him being the hero and she the beauty. I prefer Danna’s more romantic charm,” a male journalist whispered.

A female journalist sneered beside him. “So, you’re into girls like her. Be careful. You never know when someone might cheat on you.”

While the murmurs continued, Radley and Freya had already entered the estate.

As they were escorted into the castle by a servant, the guests in the hall immediately turned their toward them.

gaze

The guests’ unusual expressions flashed by, and soon someone warmly came forward to greet Radley and Freya.

“Mr. Monaghan, it’s been a while since we last met!” Several men quickly gathered around Radley.

Meanwhile, Freya observed the scene with delight and stood back a few steps away from Radley.

Not far away, a group of women dressed in formal attire approached her.

“Hi, Miss Kaufmann. I’m Amelia William.” One of the women looked enthusiastic. “I’ve heard so much about you and always wanted to be friends with you, but I never saw you attending social events.”

“Yeah, she’s a talented woman. I heard that the Kaufmann Group is now under her control.”

You’re amazing, Miss Kaufmann. Unlike me, I spend money on nothing but shopping, and my dad scolds. me a lot. He says he’d wake up laughing if I had half of your skills.”

The group of women smiled and complimented Freya, both directly and indirectly.

Freya replied with a faint smile. In the past, she had purposefully avoided attending many banquet events precisely to avoid situations like this.

While Radley was surrounded by several men, he glanced in Freya’s direction.

She stood gracefully among the crowd with her arm hooked by another chatting woman. Despite this, she remained calm and composed with a smile.

He couldn’t help but silently chuckle as he believed Freya was probably annoyed deep down, even with her flamboyant personality.
