Let me go, Mr. Hill Novel [By Shallow South] Chapter 2175 Once Freya arrived at the banquet hall and handed over her gift, a cringy sound came from behind.
âOh, isnât this Freya? Itâs been a long time.â
Freya turned around, only to see Linda walking over with her hand placed intimately on a grey-haired and big-bellied older guyâs arm.
Although Chase had told Freya about it, she still felt deeply disgusted when she saw that 70-year-old director in person. At that age, he could even be Lindaâs grandfather. It was impressive that Linda could marry him.
It was one thing for Linda to get married to him, but another to have no sign of embarrassment on her face at all.
She was dressed extravagantly with branded items from top to bottom as if she was afraid people would not know that she had gotten married to a rich man.
âBrother Lance, this is the Lynch Corporationâs Young Lady,â Linda said daintily to Director Cartman beside her. âBut she got a divorce some time ago because her husband had an affair. You know about that incident too, right? The man had an affair before his baby was even 100 days old.â
Director Cartman completely ignored Linda, but his eyes lit up when he saw Freya.
He now realized that Linda, whom he thought was pretty at first, was far lacking in elegance and taste compared to Freya.
âHi, Miss Lynch.â Director Cartman extended his hand with a smile.
Freya had seen that gaze before, and a sense of disgust overwhelmed her. However, there were guests around them, so she did not reveal her contempt. She simply smiled and said, âHello, Grandpa Cartman.â
That sentence made Director Cartman and Lindaâs faces stiffen.
Linda, in particular, was fuming. Freya was older than her by a year, yet she addressed her husband as a grandfather. Freya was not obviously making fun of the fact her husband was old.
Director Cartman faked a smile and said, âWell, Miss Lynch, youâre making me look very bad.â
After he spoke, he looked at his extended hand.
Freya smiled. âMy godmother had reminded me to be aware of my identity when I left The Lodge.
Excuse me.â
After that, she bowed slightly and entered the venue, ignoring Director Cartmanâs hardened expression.
Chase shrugged helplessly. âDirector Cartman, do your children and grandchildren have too much free time on their hands? Although Miss Lynch is divorced, The Lodge still dotes on her a lot. Look, sheâs back from The Lodge to spend time with her parents for the New Year. After all, youâre also aware that this may be the last month the Lynch family will be spending in Melbourne, so itâs very special.â
Director Cartmanâs expression changed. He regretted being rash just now. âI heard that the Lynch family is moving to Canberra. Is that true?â
âOf course. Theyâve even bought the land and villa. Although the process was slightly difficult, the Snow family supported them. Besides, Miss Lynchâs company is doing well too.â Chase glanced at Linda with a smile. âDirector Cartman, you should keep an eye on your partner. Donât let her run her mouth and cause trouble. After all, the Harrison family still has some collaborations with RF Group. I donât wish to have to switch partners halfway through the project.â
Then, Chase turned around elegantly and left.
Linda snorted with gritted teeth. âChase has a good relationship with Freya. Iâm sure heâs just scaring us. What backing can a woman that the Snow family divorced have? Theyâre just intimidating us. Donât you think so, Brother Lance?â
Director Cartman glared at her expressionlessly and said, âYouâd better watch yourself and donât talk nonsense when youâre in there.â
After all, he was old. Although he found Freya beautiful, he was dissatisfied with her scornful comment.
However, he had to admit that if anything were to happen, his useless children and grandchildren would be done for.
Linda widened her eyes in disbelief. After a short moment, she bit her lip and lowered her head without saying anything else.
If she had to choose someone she hated the most in her life, it would undoubtedly be Freya.
There was nothing she could do when Freya and Rodney were married in the past. Hence, when she heard Rodney had an affair and abandoned Freya, only the heavens knew how happy she was.
