Chapter 57 The Past Two Years
Rosie vented all her frustration from being scolded onto Freya as she incessantly complained.
Hannah hesitated and looked at her mother. “Mom, don’t you think that Freya is at least much better
than Danna?
“Danna?” Rosie frowned. “I used to think that although Danna was not good enough for your brother, at
least she was better than Freya. However, she seems like a narrow-minded person now.”
Hannah didn’t try to persuade her mother any further.
However, her perception of Freya had completely changed.
On the second floor, Radley sat in his study, and Connor followed him in.
“Mr. Monaghan, the security department has sent all the surveillance footage to your computer,”
Connor reported.
The Monaghans’ mansion and Smalzot Yard both had their home security monitoring handled by the
Monaghan Network Security Department.
Since all the footage had been sent over, Radley remained calm as he opened the folder containing the
surveillance data of the Monaghans’ mansion.
In the footage, Danna was wandering in the living room.
After that, his grandma showed up, and Danna went to her side.
At 2 p.m., the situation took a turn for the worse when his grandma suddenly had an episode and threw
a piece of cake on Danna’s skirt. Then, Danna stormed out to the restroom in a rage.
As she grumbled, her voice could be heard over the computer. “Stupid old hag, you’re so annoying.
Why don’t you just-
The rest of the words were muffled, but Radley could guess the word she was about to say.
On the side, Connor’s expression changed slightly. He grew up in the Monaghan family and had
received care from Daniella since young. Therefore, he was also angry upon seeing the scene.
Not long after, Danna came out and got into an argument with Daniella in the living room. The living
room was large, so their voices were not clear.
Suddenly, Danna shouted, “Freya, Freya, it’s all about Freya! Radley has long abandoned her! They’ve
already divorced!”
Daniella, who was having an episode, swayed in the living room, and her expression couldn’t be seen
on the screen.
After shouting, Danna turned and left.
Daniella stood frozen in the living room for a long time, like an old stone. The scene made Radley’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtheart churn with pity.
“Frey, Frey-
Then, she left through the front door.
Danna probably thought that Daniella had no recollection of her episodes and therefore behaved
recklessly.
Radley stopped watching when he saw this part.
I can see how Grandma got lost now.
The study was quiet. Radley closed his eyes, and after a few seconds, he spoke in a deep voice.
“Arrange new caregivers for Grandma. Go pick them out yourself. Do it now!”
“Yes!”
After Connor left, Radley opened his eyes and looked around the study.
He usually stayed in Smalzot Yard and rarely came to this study in the Monaghans’ mansion.
It was Freya who often came here. All the furnishings in the study were not the original design, but
rather his preferred style.
Something stirred in Radley’s heart. He stood up and looked at the herbal diffuser on the nearby shelf.
It had the same scent as before.
Freya had made so much effort behind his back.
As he returned to his computer, he looked at the surveillance files.
The files sent by the Monaghan Network Security Department were not only for the Monaghans’
mansion but also for Smalzot Yard.
He manipulated the mouse and moved the cursor over to Smalzot Yard.
The monitoring files were quite comprehensive, and he found the day he married Freya. He
remembered. that it was also his grandmother’s birthday.
Then, he clicked on the monitoring and scrolled through it day by day.
In the video, Freya was always wearing simple and ladylike clothes as she was quietly busy with
household chores.
She ironed his clothes, polished his shoes, and sprayed them with perfume afterward.
It turned out that all these tasks were not done by the maid.
As he continued to watch, his heart became increasingly suffocated.
Freya personally took care of everything related to him.
She made the herbal diffuser, cooked dinner every day, and spent most of her time on the balcony in
the bedroom as she looked in the direction of the front gate.
Radley felt a dull pain in his heart.
It was still bearable for one or two days. As he continued to watch, Freya’s daily life seemed like a
copy.
She meticulously arranged his life in ways he wouldn’t pay attention to.
For the remaining time, she either spent time at the Monaghans’ mansion or waited for him to come
home.
Freya’s beautiful and radiant face flashed through his mind. So, this is how she used to be
Since he had never paid attention to her before, he had never noticed the efforts she had put in.
Just then, his grandma’s words echoed in his mind.
You will regret it.
With a frown, Radley placed a hand on his chest. A palpable feeling of anxiety rushed over him, leaving
him feeling a bit uneasy and unfamiliar with himself.
After that, he clicked his mouse and scrolled to Freya’s last day at Smalzot Yard.
The bedroom surveillance footage was encrypted, but he entered the password and saw Freya bustling
about while holding her phone and looking at something.
As he zoomed in on the screen, he saw a blurry figure of a person on her phone screen. It was a
picture of
him.
She scrolled through the photos on her phone. There were images of his profile and back view, but not
a single photograph where he was looking directly at the camera.
Suddenly, the screen turned black, and a voice sounded.
Footsteps echoed, and he came home.
That day, he was in a very bad mood. Danna had a heart attack because he did not divorce Freya.
Therefore, he went to a bar and had a few drinks before returning home. He ripped off her clothes while
she was asleep.
Radley’s fingers trembled slightly.
As he watched the quick playback of the two years, he realized that he was the most emotionless and
callous person, like a demon.
He didn’t watch any further as he remembered that he had asked for a divorce the next morning.
He didn’t want to recall that time anymore.
Did I make the wrong choice?
The air in the study seemed stagnant.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRadley sat in his chair and looked out the window. The sunshine reflected all the dust particles in the
air.
His aura was cold and heavy.
The next day..
Freya handled her work in the morning and was about to go to the Joint Department after lunch when
Melissa showed up at the Kaufmann Group,
“Frey, I heard that you’re going to West Geft. Take me with you!”
Melissa had a big backpack on her back and looked excited.
Freya squinted. “Have you finished packing your stuff? Don’t you have class today?”
“Yes, everything’s packed. I don’t have class today.”
Melissa was very persistent and her tenacity knew no bounds. Although Freya could handle her, she
still loved her cousin and eventually took her to the Joint Department in West Geft.
When they arrived at the office of the Joint Department, Freya instructed, “I told you there’s nothing fun
here. Since you insist on coming, be quiet and don’t disturb others’ work.”
At that. Melissa pouted and replied, “I know.”
She looked at Freya’s office and then glanced at the neighboring one.
“Hey, who’s in the office next door?” she asked.
Freya glanced at the door and replied. “The president of the Monaghan Group.”
“The president of the Monaghan Group?” Melissa thought for a moment before her eyes widened in
surprise. “Radley Monaghan? Your ex-husband?”
Freya gritted her teeth and smiled dangerously. “Melissa Marshall!”
Melissa immediately shut her mouth obediently.
The media caused quite a stir in Caltun when they revealed Radley and Freya’s marriage following
their divorce.
After Melissa entered the office, she whispered to Freya, “Grandma was really angry when she found
out about you and Radley. She said she wanted to force the Monaghan Group out of Caltun.”
Thinking of her grandma and uncle, Freya chuckled softly. “Considering Grandma’s temperament, I’m
not surprised at all. Did your dad try to persuade her?”
Melissa raised her eyebrows and replied, “My dad fully supported her. However, it’s not easy to force
the Monaghan Group out of Caltun. We only took a few resources from them recently.”
That’s still a big deal, isn’t it?
Freya frowned. “Radley is not an easy person to deal with, and I don’t have any relationship with him
right now. It might be a good idea to speak with your dad to avoid ending things on a negative note with
the Monaghans.”
She was worried about the Marshall family.
