The next day, at 8 AM.

Freya finally made her decision after a night of hesitation.

Freya felt that Sean’s words were very reasonable. There was no difference in marrying either Cody or Connor, so why couldn’t she maximize the value of this marriage?

The Shenaur Family that Cody was from was a famous big family in Porthampton. They had billions of assets.

If she married Cody, she could solve her company’s current problems and ensure that the Phillips Family would not have to worry about money in the future.

However, if she married Connor, she could only solve her father’s company’s current problems. Freya might have to sort out her life with Connor in the future.

Thus, if she had to choose between Connor and Cody, Freya would choose the latter.

A moment later, Freya changed into a white dress with spaghetti straps and left the bedroom.

She was already sexy and cold, but she looked even more noble and charming after wearing this long white dress.

Sean did not go to the office today. Instead, he sat on the sofa in the living room and watched TV, waiting for Freya’s decision.

“Dad!” Freya greeted Sean, who was sitting on the sofa.

“You’re awake?” Sean replied with a smile.

“Yes, I’ve already thought about it. If Connor doesn’t bring an investor over today, 1’11 break the engagement with him and get together with Cody!” Freya whispered.

“Okay, I’m very glad that’s what you think!” Sean nodded in gratification. He approached Freya and said softly, “Freya, I know your sacrifice. 1’11 think of a way to make it up to you someday…”

Freya couldn’t help but laugh when she heard Sean’s words.

If she were to marry Cody, then she might never be happy in this life. What could make up for her happiness?

“It’s getting late. Hurry up and go to work!” Sean continued after seeing that Freya did not speak.

“Yes…” Freya nodded lightly before walking out of the door.

Half an hour later.

Freya drove to Freya Cosmetics Co., Ltd., but before Freya could enter the company, the beautiful receptionist hurriedly said to her, “Ms. Phillips, the shareholders are waiting for you in the conference room!”

“I know!” Freya replied calmly before walking towards the conference room.

“Ms. Phillips, you’re finally here! We’ve been waiting for you for over an hour…” As soon as Freya stepped into the meeting room, a shareholder spoke strangely.

“What? Are you afraid that 1’11 run away?” Freya looked at the shareholder and sneered before walking into the conference room.

After entering the conference room, Freya realized that all the shareholders who had appeared yesterday were present. Cody was also sitting on a chair and playing with his phone.

When Freya saw the smug smile on Cody’s face, a trace of disgust rose in her heart.

If it weren’t for the sake of the big picture, Freya would rather marry Connor than Cody because Cody was too detestable. The things he did were disgusting. “Ms. Phillips, why isn’t your fiance here yet?”

“That’s right. Didn’t that kid say that he was bringing the investor over yesterday? Why isn’t he here today?”

“Has he already run away?”

“Haha, 1 think that kid must have overdone it. Think about how poor he is. How could he know any rich investors?”

Everyone looked at Freya and mocked her.

Freya trembled slightly, and her beautiful eyes were filled with anger.

Although these people were humiliating Connor, Freya still felt very uncomfortable.

“Ms. Phillips, I think we shouldn’t wait for that kid. Just give us the compensation!”

Although the middle-aged man knew Freya could not afford that much money, he made that comment purposefully.

“It’s only eight in the morning. What are you guys in a hurry for?” Freya frowned and berated coldly.

“Hah, 1 reckon that even if we wait until tomorrow, that kid won’t appear!” The middle-aged man said mockingly.

“Even if Connor doesn’t come, I’m still here. Mr. Zach, do you really need this bit of money?” Freya asked the middle-aged man in displeasure.

“Freya…” The middle-aged man seemed a little unhappy and stood up to argue with Freya.

“Mr. Carter, 1 think Freya is right. It’s only eight in the morning now. Let’s wait until noon. Ms. Phillips should have nothing to say if Connor still doesn’t appear by then,” Cody slowly said.

The middle-aged man snorted coldly when he heard Cody and did not continue speaking.

Meanwhile, Freya sat on a chair, quietly waiting for Connor to come over.

***

In the blink of an eye.

Two hours passed, but Connor still did not appear.

“Freya, how long do you plan to make us wait? It’s already 10:30 AM, and that kid isn’t here yet,” one of the shareholders got impatient as he stood up and shouted at Freya.

“Yeah, how long do you want us to wait?”

“It’s a waste of time to wait any longer. Connor definitely won’t come. You’d better give us the money now!” after hearing the middle-aged man’s words, everyone stood up and agreed.

Freya sat quietly, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

She wanted to take out her phone and call Connor to ask him what was happening, but she felt that he probably wouldn’t pick up even if she called Connor now.

“Creak!”

At this moment, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open.

When everyone heard the sound of the door opening, they turned to look at the door.

Freya’s beautiful eyes flashed with hope.

However, what everyone did not expect was that the person who walked in was not Connor at all, but Maya.

Maya realized that everyone was looking at her strangely. She felt a little puzzled and quickly walked up to Freya.

“Cousin, Connor hasn’t come yet?” Maya asked softly.

“No…”

Freya shook her head lightly.

“Connor must be lying to you. How could he know any investors?” Maya gritted her teeth and said, annoyed.

“That’s right, Freya. Connor is a liar. He won’t come today!” Cody was getting impatient as he stood up and told Freya.

When Freya heard this, she looked up at Cody.

“Freya, since you’ve already signed a contract with everyone, you must give them the promised money. I know you can’t take out this money now, but if you break the engagement with Connor and get together with me, I’ll help you pay the compensation!

“Moreover, there’s also your father’s company’s situation. 1 also told your father yesterday that as long as you get together with me, our Shenaur Family will spare no effort to help the Phillips Family!”

Cody narrowed his eyes as he whispered to Freya.

Hearing Cody’s words, Freya suddenly became hesitant.

“Freya, just agree to Mr. Shenaur Jr.. Connor will not come. Moreover, why do you have to give up a rich young man like Mr. Shenaur Jr. for a poor loser?

Connor is not worthy of you at all…” Maya whispered to Freya anxiously.

Freya took a deep breath and asked Cody expressionlessly, “Cody, you will do what you said just now, right?”

“Of course, I can!” Cody smiled and nodded.

“Alright, 1 can break the engagement with Connor…”

“If you want to break the engagement, don’t you need my permission?”

Before Freya could finish her sentence, a man suddenly spoke from the conference room door.

When everyone heard him, they turned to look at the conference room entrance..
