Chapter 375: Freya Phillips’ Dilemma

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In Phillips Estate.

Freya was sitting on a chair alone, staring at her phone in a daze. She had a conflicted expression on her face because she had just received a text message from Thomas.

The content of the message was very simple.

‘Ms. Phillips, there’s less than an hour until the end of the arbitration council meeting. If you don’t appear within an hour, Mr. McDonald will lose his right to inherit the inheritance!’

Freya looked at the message, not knowing what to do.

Although Freya’s hatred for Connor had dissipated after Priscilla’s persuasion last night, it did not mean she had forgiven Connor. On the contrary, she did not want to see Connor at all.

Furthermore, there was another important point. Freya could not accept the way she had helped Connor.

Freya felt that this was a little shameful.

“This is so annoying. Why does this have to happen to me? So annoying! It’s so annoying…”

Freya threw her phone aside anxiously and walked to the window. Looking at the scenery outside, she did not know what to do.

‘Knock, knock, knock!’

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

“Who is it?” Freya asked, annoyed.

“Freya, it’s me!” Priscilla answered from outside the room.

“Ah, Priscilla. The door isn’t locked. Come in!” Freya was stunned for a moment before replying softly.

‘Creak!’

Priscilla pushed open the door and smiled at the worried Freya. She said softly, “What’s wrong? Are you still worried about whether you should help Connor?” “What does it have to do with me whether Connor needs help or not? Whenever I think of Connor lying to me for so long, 1 want to kill him. I won’t save him!” Freya pouted and replied fiercely.

“If that’s what you really think, then you wouldn’t be so bothered now.” Priscilla said with a faint smile.

“Uhm…”

Freya was surprised when she heard Priscilla’s words. She blinked and asked, “Priscilla, do you think 1 should help Connor?”

“Whether you want to help Connor or not is your own decision. Whether you help him or not, 1 will always support you!” Priscilla replied indifferently.

“Well, I just wanted to hear your opinion. By the way, why are you here?” Freya asked Priscilla.

“I came here to tell you that Kyle is here and waiting for you at the courtyard house. Do you want to meet him?” Priscilla said softly.

“I won’t see him. I haven’t thought about whether to help Connor or not yet. Let’s talk about it after 1 have thought about it!” Freya waved her hand in frustration. She knew that if she went out now, Kyle would try his best to persuade her to go over. By then, she would not be able to resist it, so she might as well not see him!

When Priscilla saw Freya’s behavior, she couldn’t help but sigh. Then, she said expressionlessly, “Freya, I feel that you’re so conflicted now it’s not because you don’t want to help Connor…”

“So why then?” Freya froze for a moment before asking curiously.

“You just don’t want to forgive Connor so quickly. After all, he has lied to you for so long. To put it simply, you’re just angry with Connor now!” Priscilla knew Freya very well, so she could speak her mind.

Freya opened her mouth to refute.

“You don’t have to be in a hurry to refute me. 1 don’t want to care about the matter between you and Connor. 1 want to tell you that now is not the time for you to be angry with Connor. The other party set up a big trap to take away the inheritance from Connor’s hands. If you help Connor now, Connor might be able to get back this inheritance, but if you don’t, then Connor might have no chance at all!” Priscilla said to Freya seriously.

“Sigh, Priscilla… I didn’t say 1 wouldn’t help Connor. The thing is that I don’t know what’s going on with Connor. Moreover, I feel embarrassed when 1 think about using this method to help Connor. It’s so embarrassing…” Freya said frantically.

“What method?” Priscilla couldn’t help but ask curiously.

“What method can’t I tell you? You’d better get out quickly and leave me alone!” Freya called out softly.

Priscilla looked at Freya and shook her head helplessly. Then, she said softly, “There’s less than half an hour left. I advise you to think it through quickly. Otherwise, you might not even have the chance to regret it…”

“I know, I know…” Freya replied impatiently.

After a moment of hesitation, Priscilla turned around and walked out of the room, leaving Freya in a daze.

Meanwhile…

In Thomas’ office on the thirty-eighth floor of the Empire World Building.

Connor and Thomas were waiting for Freya’s arrival with solemn faces, while Yannick was very relaxed.

As Yannick felt that since Freya hadn’t appeared yet, it meant that she definitely wouldn’t come. Even if she did, she was an outsider. What could she do?

The lawyer in the conference room took advantage of this time to sort out Connor’s expense list during this period.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

Thomas began to become a little impatient. His gaze was fixed on the elevator exit, and he would look down at his phone occasionally.

Connor was also very nervous. He was nervous not because he was worried that he would lose this inheritance but because he was worried that Freya would not forgive him.

If Freya came today, it would mean that Freya had forgiven him. However, if Freya did not come, it would mean that Freya still could not forgive him.

“Mr. McDonald, why don’t you call Ms. Phillips yourself?”

Thomas felt it was not a good idea to continue waiting like this. The one who tied the bell had to undo it. If Connor went to persuade Freya now, it might be effective.

Connor hesitated, then whispered, “Alright, I’ll try!”

After saying this, Connor got up and was prepared to leave..
