“What’s wrong with Connor?”

Freya sat on the chair with a puzzled expression after Connor left.

“Freya, Connor is just bragging. You don’t have to pay attention to him. He won’t bring anyone over tomorrow…”

Maya walked to Freya’s side and said disdainfully.

Freya turned to look at Maya and sighed helplessly. She said, “Now that the contract has been signed, what’s the point of saying all this? Let’s think about what to do next!”

“What else can we do? Connor won’t bring anyone over tomorrow. If no investors come, your company will face bankruptcy, and you’ll have to pay huge compensation..” Maya said helplessly.

Freya narrowed her eyes and said nothing. No one knew what she was thinking.

“If Connor doesn’t come over tomorrow, these shareholders will ask you for money. If you don’t have money to give them, they might go to court to sue you..” Maya looked at Freya and continued.

“What is Connor trying to do?”

Freya was about to go crazy from this as she spoke in despair.

“Cousin, if there’s no other way, you can ask your father for help. After all, you agreed to be with Connor because of your father’s company. Now that such a thing has happened, your father is also responsible!” Maya hesitated before continuing.

“My dad’s company is also facing financial issues now. If 1 ask him for money now, I’m afraid he doesn’t have that much money!” Freya replied softly.

“But other than asking your father for money, is there a better way?”

Freya stood there momentarily, pondering before turning around and leaving the conference room.

“Freya, where are you going?” Maya quickly shouted.

“I’ll talk to my dad about this and see if he has any other ideas!” Freya replied expressionlessly, then picked up her bag and ran out of the office.

***

After leaving the office, Freya drove straight to her father’s company.

“Freya, why are you here?”

Sean Phillips, who had been working on some documents in his office, asked, puzzled when he saw Freya enter.

“Dad, the shareholders came to my company to cause trouble again today…” Freya said expressionlessly.

“Hah, don’t they often cause trouble? If you ask me, you should close your company and come help me…” Sean replied with a smile.

“Dad, they’re not here to cause trouble this time. They’re here to withdraw their shares!” Freya whispered.

“Withdraw shares?”

When Sean heard this, he couldn’t help but be stunned momentarily. Then, he narrowed his eyes and said, “Freya, tell me in detail what exactly happened.”

Freya took a deep breath and told Sean everything that had happened today.

Sean frowned after hearing Freya’s story.

“Back then, for the sake of my company, it was really hard on you. I’ve always felt very sorry for you to marry someone you didn’t know, but 1 didn’t expect the other party to be a poor delivery boy and caused so much trouble!” Sean sighed softly.

“Dad, now is not the time to talk about this. Connor has already signed a contract with those people. I have to pay them the compensation tomorrow, but I don’t have that much money now,” Freya said anxiously to Sean.

“Are you sure Connor won’t bring the investor tomorrow?” Sean asked softly.

“How could he know any investors? He is just a poor student. He won’t appear tomorrow!” Freya hurriedly said.

“If Connor can’t help you find an investor, we’ll have to compensate them with a large amount of money. However, you should also know the situation on my side. The company has just returned to normal operations, so we can’t take out so much money…” Sean seemed to be in a difficult position.

“Then, what should we do?”

When Freya heard this, she instantly became anxious. Her bright eyes were filled with tears, and desperation filled her face.

“Freya, I have a way to help you solve these problems!” Sean hesitated.

“What is it? Dad, spill!” Freya hurriedly asked.

“Freya, as long as you break off the engagement with Connor now and get together with Cody, won’t the problem be solved?” Sean asked softly.

When Freya heard Sean’s suggestion, she froze.

“Dad, but I don’t like Cody at all!” Freya said emotionally.

“Do you like Connor then?” Sean asked expressionlessly.

“I… I don’t like Connor either!”

“So why can you marry Connor but not Cody?”

“I agreed to marry Connor back then to solve your company’s problem. If 1 broke the engagement with Connor now, that would cancel the investment in your company. In this way, even if my company is saved, your company will also face the risk of bankruptcy!” Freya said frustratedly.

Previously, in the conference room, although Freya had also told Connor that she wanted to break the engagement, it was just Freya speaking in a flurry of anger.

Moreover, even if Freya wanted to break her engagement with Connor, she would not be with Cody.

“If you can get together with Cody, it doesn’t matter if that canceled the investment in my company. Cody’s family is very rich, so it shouldn’t be a problem for him to invest tens of millions in my company!” Sean said slowly.

Hearing that, Freya instantly understood what he meant.

Sean was planning to get Cody to replace Connor.

In any case, Freya had only married Connor to solve the problems in his company. As long as someone could invest in his company, Sean didn’t care who the other party was.

Moreover, Freya had no feelings for Cody and Connor, let alone like them.

If Freya could get together with Cody, not only would it solve all their current problems, but their Phillips Family would also have the Shenaur Family to back them in the future.

However, if Freya continued to be with Connor, she could only temporarily solve the problem of Sean’s company. In the future, Connor would have no value to the Phillips Family.

“Freya, think about it carefully. If you marry Connor, you’re marrying Cody. So why can’t we maximize the value of this marriage?” Sean narrowed his eyes and said softly.

“Dad, did Cody come to look for you?” Freya whispered.

“That’s right, Cody just called me!” Sean did not deny it.

Freya looked at Sean in a daze. She felt helpless as she remained silent for a long time.

“Freya, I’ve already made things clear to you. As for what you think, that’s your business!” Sean said to Freya expressionlessly.

“Got it…” Freya said absentmindedly..
