“Hugh, can’t you giveeven a small chance?” Cheryl's voice cracked with desperation, as if saying that had
drained whatever strength she had left.
Watching her crumble like that, Freya suddenly thought of Kristian putting on the sact in front of her.
Hugh spoke again, and his tone was more solemn than she'd ever heard. “The moment you made false
accusations against Mina right in front of me, whatever chance we had vanished completely.”
“False accusations against Mina?” Ethel picked up on the key part immediately.
Hugh started to explain but paused, worried the truth might upset Freya.
But Freya, with her sharp memory, spoke calmly. “On Ms. Newman's birthday, after | finished speaking with her
and was about to head hwith you, do you remember what she said?”
Ethel thought for a moment, then the words crushing back to her in a flash.
Cheryl had once said, “Freya's right. The difference between us is too much. If you really marry me, people will
talk. They'll mock you behind your back. Vivien and I will pack our things tomorrow and leave. Thank you for
everything you've done for us.”
Ethel turned to Freya after recalling it. “Were those the lines?”
“Yes,” Freya said softly.
Back then, Hugh had a talk with Cheryl, but Freya hadn't asked about the details and hadn't cared much either.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEthel had spoken to him as well, but Freya hadn’t known exactly what they'd discussed.

“I was just scared of losing you,” Cheryl explained, worry furrowing her brow.
Hugh didn’t respond, unmoved by her explanation.
He wasn’t that snaive man from the days before the arranged marriage. He had two daughters now, and
while many things could be forgiven, dragging Freya's nthrough the mud wasn’t one of them.
“That's not a reason to accuse Mina of something she didn’t do. I understand you want Vivien to have a good
life,” Hugh said, his tone honest but firm. “But the Briggs Group belongs to Ethel and Mina. It's also the product
of their mother’s hard work and sacrifice. It’s not something that can just be handed away. | can build another
company. Running it won't be a challenge.”
He had considered this possibility before, but now he was simply tired. “That company can be handed over to
Vivien.”
“I'm sorry...” Cheryl murmured, bowing her head, her voice barely audible.
In truth, she couldn’t accept this outcome.
Even if Hugh built another company and made it thrive, it could never compare to even a small stake in the
Briggs Group.
But now she understood—if she turned this down, she'd walk away with nothing at all.
“If that’s all, I'd like to ask you to leave,” Hugh said, his tone final.
The memory of that day was still crystal clear.
After Freya and Ethel had left, he'd
asked Cheryl if there had been a
misunderstanding with Freya. He
knew how Freya was—if she didn't
like someone, SIE it SHALE.
Spepwabn fine type to play dirty
behind the scenes. But Cheryl had
spun a tale, putting words in Freya's
mouth that were biting and cruel. And
the second he heard them, he knew
she was lying—Freya would never say
those things. When she saw the
disbelief on his face, Cheryl realized
she'd been caught and ended up
confessing what was really said. The
