Chapter 47 What About This Candidate?
At this. Isabella’s face became flushed. Braxton had been requesting her to do some exercises with
him quite frequently lately.
Freya raised her brows and was about to probe further when the ward door was pushed open.
Without an invitation and at this late hour, the person walked in. He didn’t even knock.
Freya frowned and looked over.
“Well, what an unusual visitor.” Braxton relaxedly laughed as he lay on the hospital bed.
Matthew set the small food container he was holding on the table.
“My parents said that since we’re friends, I have to come see you now that you’re sick. After all, you are
the CEO of the Kaufmann Group, and we need to socialize and strengthen our bonds.”
He spoke bluntly, and Freya laughed on the side. “Did your parents not request that you deliver the
message in a more sophisticated manner?”
Matthew shrugged. “It doesn’t matter. After all, this is how your brother and I became friends.”
Freya became interested and asked, and soon learned about Braxton and Matthew’s past.
Matthew’s parents preferred their younger son and disliked Matthew, the eldest son. His role was to
maintain relationships with various big families in Caltun in order to form a future marriage alliance.
In other words, he was a chess piece.
When Matthew would still listen to his parents, he approached Braxton on purpose at the request of his
parents, solely for Braxton’s position as the Kauffman family heir.

“At that time, after I got along better with your brother, I was on a mission to see if I could get in touch
with the Kaufmanns’ precious daughter.”
Matthew spoke while propping his chin, looking at Freya with a flirtatious smile. “After all, everyone in
Caltun knows Miss Kaufmann is the Kaufmann family’s darling. My parents even wanted me to marry
you back then.”
“And now you don’t want to?” Isabella added fuel to the fire.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFreya glared at her. “Isabella!”
Matthew looked stunning, and his smile had a certain allure. He looked at Freya and said, “Of course I
do. but I don’t have the chance.”
Freya nodded affirmatively. “It’s a good thing you know that.”
Lost in thought. Braxton shifted his gaze between Matthew and Freya as he lay on the sick bed.
After chatting for a while, they talked about the renovation project in the West Geft, which The Hood
Group was also interested in.
Matthew had recently taken over the Hood Group and needed to make a big impression.
Freya smiled and shook her head. “You have no chance in this. I’ve already set my sights on this
project.”
She was well aware of Matthew’s current situation. Even if she gave him the project, he wouldn’t be
able to handle it.
His parents, as well as the others of the Hoods, were difficult to deal with. It wasn’t as simple as simply
handing over the project.
Freya looked at Isabella and asked, “Is your family interested?”
Isabella shook her head. “My dad said that both the Monaghans and your family will be bidding for this.
project, so our chances are slim. It’s not worth the effort.”
After chatting for a while, Matthew got up and was about to leave. “Hey, Kittie, shall we go together? I
send you home.”
“No need. Ayden will send me back in a while.”
Matthew recognized the name Ayden and in defeat, he walked away.
As soon as he left. Braxton sent Isabella out of the ward as well.
So now, only the two siblings were left in the ward.
Braxton’s face turned serious. “Frey, I just thought of a brilliant idea for you.
“What is it?”
“Aren’t you looking for a fake father for your unborn child? What do you think about Matthew?”
Freya felt like she had been choked and laughed out loud. “Brax, are you serious? Matthew?!”
“Yes, Matthew! The two of you were previously rumored to be dating, right? And weren’t you planning
to delay the birth of your child by a month? The timing is ideal, and everyone’s suspicions will be
reduced!”.
Freya’s face changed slightly: “No, Braxton! Matthew is the CEO of the Hood Group and the only child
of the Hood family. If you ask him to do this, even if he agrees, his parents will not!”
Who could possibly accept that their only son is in a fake marriage and that they are accepting
someone else’s son as their own? The wealthy cared a great deal about the ancestry of their offspring.
There would be way too many complications!
However, Braxton persisted. “Hey, trust me on this. I will talk to Matthew and he will agree.”
Although Braxton was concerned that Matthew would have bad intentions toward his sister, he decided.
that it was better to find a friend to be the fake father of his future niece. He could also keep an eye on
things.
“Despite his reputation, Matthew is a good man at heart, so I don’t have to worry if it’s him,” Braxton
persuaded.
Freya frowned. “Brax, drop it. I won’t agree.”
She might have thought about it if Matthew wasn’t interested in her, but right now it was clear that he
was. and she didn’t want to make things complicated.
Braxton still wanted to speak but Freya had already gotten to her feet.
“Alright, Isabella is coming back soon. I’m leaving now,
Braxton quickly added, “He is the best candidate, Frey
“Rest early tonight! Staying up late isn’t good for your legs recovery.” Freya had already walked to the
door
and smiled.
Braxton’s face changed.” How did you know? You didn’t check my pulse.”
“I checked Izzy’s when we were sitting together. Her cubit pulse is a little weak.” Freya smiled slyly
Hearing that, Braxton gritted his teeth. His sister saw through him!
Braxton frowned and yelled, “Go on! Leave! You’d better not let Izzy hear you!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt would be troublesome if Isabella got upset and had a tantrum!
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the bidding, and Freya took it very seriously and went to the site
in
person.
Freya and the company representatives arrived at the official location, where many representatives
from other businesses had already arrived and were seated in their places.
There would be three rounds of bidding, with the first round removing more than half of the offers.
Recently, Freya noticed that she was experiencing multiple bouts of nausea and vomiting in a day. Her
waist was slightly bulging, but luckily, she was wearing loose clothes, making it difficult to tell.
She sat in the position of the Kaufmann Group, surrounded by several executives.
Just then, a low whisper erupted, and Freya looked up to see Radley walk in.
The man was tall in stature, with a pale complexion and an aura that kept people at a distance.
The seats of the Monaghan Group and the Kaufmann Group were next to each other, and when Ra
walked over and saw Freya, he nodded.
In here, everyone was a competitor, and Freya nodded in response.
The bidding began, and a large number of groups were eliminated. The out-of-town bidders were also
eliminated because they didn’t understand the situation in Caltun as well as the local companies.
When the second round began, there were only seven or eight companies left.
Among them were the Kaufmanns, the Monaghans, and the Hoods.
The representatives of the groups stepped forward, presented their designs and plans to the person in
charge of the bidding, and explained them on the side.
At this point, everyone recognized Freya’s proposal as more humanistic, focusing on building
renovation while preserving West Geft’s charming semi-antiquity. On the other hand, Radley had a
long-term. viewpoint and recommended building more hospitals and institutions for cultural education.
