Chapter 119 He’s Helping Her
The Parker Group was the company owned by Isabella’s family. But this time. Isabella couldn’t come back for the
Parker Group’s annual dinner as she was still in Vroria. As her best friend, Freya felt obligated to
attend.
The next morning. Freya slept in. Brisa arrived at the Kaufmann Residence at 9 a.m. Freya took Brisa with her and
went in for the Parker Group’s annual dinner.
The dress code for the event was not particularly strict.
After Freya entered the residence, she saw many familiar faces.
The venue was lively. Many female celebrities had come to participate. Freya saw Aya in the crowd. After greeting
Aya and chatting with her for a while, Freya found a quiet spot to sit.
The spot was in a corner and very quiet, she liked to be lazy, and this spot happened to be next to a Roman column
adorned with a layer of curtains.
Freya sat behind the curtain and slowly sipped on a glass of fruit juice, intending to pass the time.
Shortly afterward, the sound of footsteps could be heard outside the curtain.
Freya held a pastry in one hand and listened to the laughter of several women outside.
She didn’t pay much attention until she heard Radley’s name from their mouths.
Her hand paused slightly. The women’s voices became clearer.
“They say Radley and Freya were married but divorced later.”
“We know about it. But how did Freya get pregnant now?”
“How do you know she’s pregnant?”
“Well, didn’t you notice? Look at her belly. I saw her at a cocktail party last time and thought she had put on some
weight. Now it’s clear that it’s not just weight gain. How can someone be pregnant and only have a big belly without

“Is she really pregnant? Who’s the father? After she divorced Radley, she didn’t seem to have married another
person.
“She indeed didn’t marry another person, but didn’t she have those rumors with Matthew before?”
The women chatted and giggled with gossip.
“Her belly looks big. I wonder who’s the father? Radley or Matthew?”
“Obviously, it’s Matthew. The Monaghan family wouldn’t let their descendants be left outside.”
“Well, it’s hard to say. Maybe it’s neither of them. Freya is so beautiful and loves to mess around with other guys.
Didn’t you see her broadcasting with a handsome young man?*
The women’s sarcastic remarks made Freya frown slightly. She reached out to pull the curtain to see who was
talking behind her back.
ne thing to talk about her, but insulting her unborn baby was something she couldn’t tolerate.
As the curtain slowly lifted a crack, she heard the chattering voices outside silence for a moment.
Radley’s voice came through the curtain, with a slight sense of confusion. His voice was cold and intimidating.
A voice that seemed to deliberately not temper that sense of oppression rang out. “Who gave you the nerve to talk
about her like that?”
Those women cautiously replied, “Mr. Monaghan, we were just joking”
“Mr. Monaghan, we’re sorry! We heard it from someone else. It was just idle chatter.”
Freya’s hand holding the curtain tightened slightly. Radley didn’t know she was here, and she didn’t want to go out
now.
Amidst the apology of the women, Radley’s voice with a hint of ice and fury was heard. “There’s no need to explain
to me. It’s not like you’re talking about me. You should apologize to Freya.”
“Apologize to Miss Kaufmann?” Those women exclaimed in surprise.
How can we apologize in person after talking behind someone’s back like that? It’s not like I can go up to Freya and
say. “Freya, I’m sorry I was speculating who the father of your child is!”
Radley’s voice was cold. “You don’t have to go if you don’t want to, as long as you bear the consequences of what
you said today”
“We will apologize!” Someone spoke up with a voice trembling.
Freya waited until the voices outside had dispersed and the footsteps of the women had hurried away. She lightly
pursed her lips and leaned against a chair.
She tilted her body slightly and leaned her head slightly against the Roman column. She looked down at the juice in
her hands. Radley didn’t know she was here, but he was protecting her and her baby.
Freya felt a complex and unfamiliar warmth, but when she thought about Radley’s past behavior as a sc*mbag, she
forced herself to toughen up.
Forget it. This is probably just the Monaghan family protecting the reputation of their business partners. Maybe in
Radley’s eyes, it’s part of his responsibility.
Freya’s mood was complicated. She sat there for a while before leaving after the Parker Group’s chairman
came out.
Isabella’s parents knew about their daughter’s relationship with Freya and liked her very much, so they talked to her
for a while.
After Freya was done chatting with Isabella’s parents, she saw a few women hesitating as they walked toward her.
They were all in their twenties and their eyes were wandering around.
She instantly knew what was going on. One of the women was pushed to the front. “Miss Kaufmann, we’re sorry”
Freya was calmn “For what?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe woman hesitated and the others pushed her forward again.
“We shouldn’t have talked behind your back just now. We’re sorry!”
Freya’s eyes flickered. “What did you say about me?”
The women explained in a flurry of words. “It was just something people are talking about. They said that you are
pregnant. We discussed it for a while and now we feel it was wrong to talk about you behind your back, so we came
to apologize,”
Freya swept her eyes over them. She knew that since they were able to attend the Parker Group’s annual dinner,
their families’ companies probably had some cooperation with the Parker Group.
She couldn’t control what others said with their mouths. For Isabella’s sake, she didn’t make a fuss.
Freya gave them a cold look. “I don’t want to hear such gossip outside anymore. Today is the Parker Group’s annual
dinner, so I won’t hold it against you. Please behave yourselves from now on.”
The women smiled and thanked Freya, saying that they wouldn’t listen to gossip anymore.
She grew tired of the women’s constant fawning over herself. Then she watched them walk away.
Suddenly, a tall figure loomed over Freya. His powerful presence was impossible to ignore. Those around them also
began to look over with both interest and curiosity.
This kind of reaction…
Freya sighed as she almost sensed the man’s scent and aura.
This almost sixth-sense feeling made her very irritable as she turned around, and sure enough, Radley was standing
behind her.
She remained calm and greeted him faintly, “Mr. Monaghan, you are here too.”
Radley’s gaze flickered and he responded with a gentle nod.
Now that they were standing together. Their relationship was very noticeable, and many people immediately turned
their attention to them.
Freya felt uneasy. However, knowing that Radley had just stood up for her, she didn’t move from he
