Danna was getting anxious.

“No, it’s just that I’m afraid. As you know, Radley, you’re the only one I have now.” Tears welled up in her eyes. “I don’t care about what other people say or think about me. It’s fine if they call me a mistress. It also doesn’t matter if my career is ruined, but I’m afraid of losing you. I can’t help worrying.”

Radley’s expression softened a bit, but his attitude remained indifferent.

“My grandma is sick, and she has always liked Freya, so I want to ask Freya to accompany her for a while.”

Danna’s eyes lit up. She had been worried that Radley had been distant from her lately, and she didn’t have many opportunities to interact with him.

If she could win over his grandmother whom he valued the most….

“Radley, let me take care of your grandma,” Danna said softly and her eyes were full of sincerity.

“You?” Radley frowned. “Grandma doesn’t know about our relationship.

“It doesn’t matter. I can take care of her as your friend. I promise not to bring up your divorce with Freya.”

With that, she playfully made a zip gesture with her fingers in front of her mouth. A blush appeared on her fair face. “Since she is your grandma, I consider her mine too. I’ll make every effort to gain her favor.”

“Oh, come on, Radley, just agree,” she said with a charming and cute expression.

However, Radley just calmly scanned her face without saying a word.

Just a minute ago, she was on the verge of tears. Her mood shifted a little too fast.

A certain thought in his mind became clearer and clearer now.

Radley nodded. ‘I’ll have Connor take you to the mansion tomorrow.”

“It’s okay. I can go by myself. You have got a lot to do with Connor. How can he be my driver?” Danna smiled.

Then, she deliberately made a phone call in front of him and turned down several appointments.

With a smile on her face, she tilted her slender neck and gazed happily at her phone. “It doesn’t matter even if I have to delay my work or turn down a few offers. It’s for the sake of Grandma. Don’t you think so, Radley?”

Without saying a word, he sent Danna back to her home.

The next day.

Freya woke up a bit later. After removing Radley’s number from her blacklist last night, she had been expecting a call from him to discuss the matter. However, he hadn’t called her yet.

After washing up and having breakfast, she finally arrived at the company with Ayden.

She went to her office on the top floor.

During a break when no one was reporting to her, she opened the company’s surveillance footage.

Then, she randomly selected a pantry where she could hear people gossiping. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“Have you heard that Miss Kaufmann is late again today?” someone said.

“Of course, I heard from our team leader that the manager said Miss Kaufmann always leaves early and delegates all the work to Mr. Carr. I really don’t know what she’s here for, another person said.

“Well… Isn’t she just a shining example of privilege and entitlement? I mean, who wouldn’t want to show off if they come from a powerful family? If i were her, I would have been even more shameless about it,” a third person said.

Freya curled her lips. It seemed that her reputation at the Kaufmann Group wasn’t very good lately.

However, it didn’t matter. After all, she was only in charge for half a year on behalf of her brother. If everything was going smoothly, she didn’t want to waste her energy to create a diligent and positive image

of herself.

After all, getting enough sleep was the top priority.

The morning meeting was scheduled for 9:30 am.

This was the first meeting ever since Freya took over as the president of the Kaufmann Group.

Several senior executives were already waiting there.

Leading them was the head of the Commerce Department, along with several deputy department heads. Jacob Hill, one of the department heads present, had received a cooperation proposal.

“I went to Vroria to negotiate with the newly risen Seaway Corporation. Seaway Corporation has many channels in Vroria, and they are interested in collaborating with Herbtronics under our Kaufmann Group,” Jacob reported.

The Kaufmann Group had a wide range of business interests under its umbrella, ranging from large- scale real estate ventures to several small-scale brands such as Herbtronics.

Freya squinted as she listened to his grandiose speech.

The general idea was that Herbtronics in Vroria had always been under the jurisdiction of the Monaghans territory.

The Kaufmanns and the Monaghans had been competing for many years. Due to the Monaghan Group’s supremacy, the Kaufmann Group had always been inferior in terms of sales channels in Vroria.

The Monaghan Group had dominated large shopping malls and prime locations with their high-end. luxury brands.

For the low-priced products, the Monaghan Group had long taken the prime shelves in supermarkets and other places.

In summary, if the Kaufmann Group partnered with Seaway Corporation, this could change their current situation since the latter had recently achieved great success in online sales, which could be regarded as a new industry miracle.

In the conference room, several executives were listening with great enthusiasm.

“What are their requirements? Do they want to share profits or do they have other requests?” someone asked.

Without speaking a word, Freya was lazily sitting in the main seat in a relaxed posture.

Jacob gazed at Freya with a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

Looking at Freya with “sincerity”, he added, “Miss Kaufmann, the best thing about this collaboration is that Seaway Corporation has no intention of taking any profits from our future sales. They are preparing to expand their business scale and have proposed that if we pay fifty million up front, they will help us open up the market in Vroria!”

Fifty million was not a small amount, but Vroria was a first-tier commercial city after all. Therefore, considering the potential benefits, it was not a huge sum. Most of the people in the conference room were in favor of the proposal,

After listening to everyone’s opinions, Ayden turned to Freya and asked, “Miss Kaufmann, what do you

think?”

Freya put down the pen she had been playing with and looked up. Her gaze was sharp and clear.

“Mr. Hill, how many years have you been working at the Kaufmann Group?” she asked.

“It will be twenty years in a few months, Miss Kaufmann, Jacob replied with a smile. “Why do you suddenly bring this up?”

Freya smirked. Twenty years, huh? It seems like you’ve been working here since my father was in charge.”

“Yes. Old Mr. Kaufmann had always taken care of us. That’s why we have worked hard for the company.” Jacob replied.

Freya slammed her pen onto the table. “Is this how you work hard for the company? By taking advantage of us and betraying us?”

“What do you mean. Miss Kaufmann?” Jacob’s face briefly showed panic, but then he quickly put on a look of innocent accusation with a touch of anger.

Several executives exchanged glances, feeling somewhat helpless.

Everyone had seen Freya’s recent work performance, and it seemed like she came here just for fun. Rumors had been circulating about it as well.

This was her first important meeting. Even if she had just taken over the company and wanted to make a big impact, she seemed to be going a bit overboard.

“They expect us to pay them fifty million upfront as a sign of their sincerity? Mr. Hill, I can’t believe that you think this is a good idea!” Freya sneered.

Then, she pointed to the data analysis of Seaway Corporation on the screen, which displayed a traffic chart of their recent online sales platform.

The data was so precise and dense that it was hard for everyone to read, and it would probably take several days to analyze it thoroughly.

However, Freya accurately pointed to one of the data points and asked. “How did you analyze this single day’s online sales? The data on the preceding curve chart is consistent with previous days, yet this one.

broke the record by a hundredfold. Is this a mistake in your work or did you do it on purpose to manipulate the data?”

At this, Jacob immediately defended himself. “It’s just one data point. Even if it’s a mistake, it doesn’t have a big impact on the overall data. Miss Kaufmann, your eyes are sharp, but this is not a reason to

reject the cooperation and simply blame the mistake on an experienced old employee like me.”

Freya narrowed her eyes. “You’re really persistent, aren’t you?”
