"Two years ago, Freya said simply, offering no extra explanation. "There wasn't a wedding so | didn't bring in up."

She knew it sounded ridiculous, but this was her life-and she would own it

Besides, if she had told Miguel, it would've only stirred up more trouble.

Freya didn't want to say it.

She didn't want to even think about it.

"It's over. Who it was doesn't matter anymore." Not wanting the conversation to spiral further, Freya smoothly

pivoted. "If that's all, Grandpa, I'll head back to the office. There's still work waiting"

With Vivien in the room, anything she said was likely to ignite more conflict if nothing important remained,

there was no reason to stay.

"You think you're grown now and can do whatever you please Miguel's voice rose, heavy with disapproval "You

think you can go toe-to-toe with me?"

"Did you summonjust to start a fight?" Freya asked, barely containing her irritation. She knew it wasn't tight

to speak to an elder like this, but she couldn't stomach Miguel's attitude.

Miguel's fury surged, ready to unleash another tirade-when a slightly amused voice broke in. "Well, looks like

we've got quite the crowd here today."

Freya turned toward the sound and saw Alan approaching in a crisp suit, a faint smile playing on his lips.

She exchanged a glance with him, silently questioning his presence. Shouldn't he be at the office now?

Alan returned her look with a slight gesture, indicating Hugh had sent him here to defuse the tension, knowing

full well she and Miguel were clashing again.

Freya turned her eyes away.

That wasn't necessary.

If the conversation couldn't continue without chaos, she would just leave. Miguel was older, and she wouldn't

stoop to arguing-but that didn't mean she had to stick around.

"Aren't you supposed to be working?" Miguel's frown softened ever so slightly at the sight of Alan, though his

tone remained firm.

There was still hint of old-school gender bias in the way he treated men versus women. But Freya didn't care, as

long as her parents didn't think the sway.

"I was working, but there's something going on at the company that only Mina can handle," Alan replied

smoothly. "I couldn't find her there, so | chere."

Hu

Miguel's expression remained stern. "And the company can't function without her?

"It really can't," Alan said with a good-natured smile, clearly unbothered by the old man's tone. "You wouldn't

believe how sharp she is. She just closed a killer deal that brought in a huge profit."

"She should focus on looking presentable," Miguel muttered, his eyes narrowing at Freya's tailored outfit. "What's

the point of being at the office anyway?"

Alan's gaze shifted ever so slightly at that remark.

Freya, however, remained unfazed. She let the words drift past her like a breeze. She already knew what her

grandfather thought.

To him, marriage was simply a tool-to squeeze out the highest possible value.

"Look at the daughters of other prestigious families. Which one of them doesn't keep themselves polished and

poised?" Miguel continued his rant.

"Mina's stunning even without all that polish," Alan replied sincerely. "And everyone's different. Senjoy

dressing up. Mina enjoys making money. There's room for both."

Miguel clearly didn't appreciate the sentiment.

Vivien quickly tried to smooth things over. "Alan's right. Freya really is beautiful.

Even without any effort, she still turns heads."

Both Freya and Alan winced slightly at her saccharine tone

Miguel cast another glance at Freya, his discontent still simmering Bein pretty isn't enough. She still lacks

the real talent to compete."

At that, Freya arched a brow ever so slightly but said nothing.

Thinking Miguel had misunderstood her completely, Alan was ready to speak up.

He knew how gifted Freya was. She'd hosted her own art exhibitions, written piano compositions used in

competitions-all when she was still a teenager. Experts from multiple disciplines had praised her work.

Years had passed since then, and she had only honed her skills further. How could she be seen as lacking?

But before he could say a word, Freya gently tugged on his sleeve.

Alan looked over, confused.

"Your father's spoiled you, hiding you away from the world," Miguel said, still fixed

on Freya. "Now that you're an adult, it's tfor you to pull your weight."

Alan blinked. What was this about?

"| called you here to ask if there's anyone you're interested in," Miguel said, his tone all business. "If there is, I'll

arrange the marriage accordingly. But since you've already been married once, I'll handle it my way."

"I won't marry for business," Freya said, her voice steady and firm.

Miguel's face was like stone. "You don't get a say in this."

"You wantto marry to benefit the Briggs Group, but | can add value without being anyone's wife," Freya

replied, perfectly calm, undisturbed by his domineering tone.

People always wanted more.

The Briggs Group was already thriving. It didn't need a marriage to maintain its

status.

But her grandfather wasn't satisfied. He still wanted to push for an arranged marriage to take the company even

further.

"Arrogant!" Miguel snapped. He didn't believe her for a second. "I know what you're capable discussion-it's a

decision. If you refuse, Ethel will take your place."
