MainNovelChapter 326:
“He did,” Freya responded simply, her words hanging in the air like a sharp slap.
It felt as though Vivien’s face had been slapped with a cold, stinging truth. Her cheeks burned in embarrassment.
What was the connection between this woman and Hugh? How did she even know about that?
“They got married ages ago,” Vivien blurted out, lying with all the assurance of someone trying to sell a broken
clock as the latest model.
“Even if they did,” Freya replied coolly, her voice unwavering, “without my permission, you wouldn't be able to
join Briggs Group. Not even its subsidiaries.”
“What do you think you are to say that?” Vivien’s heart skipped a beat. Freya's calm and collected demeanor
sent a shiver of doubt through her. A strange unease gnawed at her.
“Because I'm the investment advisor at Briggs Group,” Freya said flatly, delivering a quiet blow. “Hiring
employees is part of Briggs Group's investments, and | have the authority to oversee it.”
Vivien seethed, her frustration bubbling up to the point where she felt she might explode.
Freya, unfazed by the seething glare aimed at her, turned and walked away, leaving Vivien to simmer in her own
frustration as she made her way toward Alan.

Just as Freya neared the president's office, she spotted Alan leaning casually against the corridor corner.
He spread his arms wide, a playful grin spreading across his face. “Chere. Letgive you a hug. Don’t cry.”
Freya was momentarily speechless. She walked past him, heading straight into the office, muttering, “Why did
you think I was crying?” Clearly, it was Vivien who was on the verge of tears, not her.
“Enough,” Alan said, catching up with her, entering the office right behind her. “You don’t have to put on an act
in front of me. Think I don’t know you're bothered by Uncle Hugh's relationship?”

“He chose to be with her, and it has nothing to do with me,” Freya replied coldly, her voice as sharp as a blade.
Alan saw the walls she had built around herself, and while he didn’t push, he understood. Everyone had their
own reasons, their own hidden wounds.
“Later, send a notice to HR. If they see Vivien Garza’s non any application, they should reject it
immediately,” Freya instructed, her tone firm and final. “If the chairman asks, just tell him it was my decision.”
Alan's lips curled into a knowing smile, his eyes sparkling with amusement.
Freya shot him a puzzled look. “Why are you laughing?” she asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Referring to him as ‘the chairman,'” he teased, flicking her forehead gently. “You don’t have to be so formal with
him.”
Freya didn’t answer. She knew Hugh had been good to her and Ethel, but he had failed her mother, and that was
something Freya couldn't forgive him for.
“Have we had any dealings with Shaw Group recently?” she asked, swiftly changing the subject.
“Yes, we have,” Alan replied, focusing
on the business at tend) “Theres an
AhotpEt ander negotiation.
Do’you want to take the lead on it?”
“Lettake a look,” Freya said, her professional instincts kicking in.
