Chapter 14 The Legendary Scandalous Male Companion “Not yet, he has some business to attend to at the company. But he should be coming soon,” replied Rosie. Upon learning that Radley was not present, Danna breathed a sigh of relief before turning her gaze toward Freya. “Madam Rosie, is that Freya? Did you invite her?” Danna furrowed her brows as if she was puzzled. Rosie followed her gaze and saw Freya. Her happy expression immediately turned surly. “How is she here? I didn’t send her an invitation.” Freya was the one who caused the crisis in the Monaghan Group. Of course, Rosie would never invite Freya to her birthday banquet. “Ah, did she sneak in without an invitation?” asked Danna in a whisper. With her lips curled in a sneer, Rosie said, “Danna, go ahead. Do whatever you want.” Anything would be fine as long as Danna managed to embarrass Freya. “Alright, Madam Rosie.” When Freya saw Danna approaching, she had just exchanged a glance with her brother. Braxton warned her not to cause any trouble with his gaze. Freya shrugged and turned to see Danna approaching her. It wasn’t that Freya wanted to cause trouble, but the annoying Danna kept coming to her.
“Freya, how did you come in without an invitation?” As expected, Danna’s words attracted the attention of those around them. When they heard that Freya had sneaked in without an invitation, some of their gazes changed. Those who attended the birthday banquet were either rich or powerful. Naturally, they looked down upon such behavior. Gossip and chatter filled the air. “Freya, if you really wanted to come, you could have told me. It would have been fine.” Freya’s expression was calm with a hint of a cold smile on her lips.
To her, Danna was brainless, although Danna sometimes could be intelligent in small ways. Freya straightened her back. Her slender and fair neck made her look like a proud swan. She raised her red lips, about to say something, when a hand suddenly was placed on her shoulder. She was pulled into an embrace. At the same time, a somewhat unruly and cold voice sounded. “She’s with me. Do you want to see my invitation?” The voice was very familiar. Sure enough, Freya turned her head and saw Matthew raise his eyebrows. He was looking at Danna in a half-smiling and half-sarcastic way. For a moment, Dana’s expression stiffened. She didn’t expect Matthew to come so timely. The atmosphere became awkward, and those who were whispering gradually quieted down. Matthew was Freya’s scandalous male companion. And they actually interacted out in the open like this. Although Danna and Radley were talked about behind their backs, everyone in this circle wouldn’t dare to gossip openly due to the Monaghans’ power. Right then, a freezing voice cut through the silent air slowly. “Mr. Hood, I have to give you credit for your ability to turn the tide and rescue the Hood Group from my grasp.” This week, the Monaghan Group launched a comprehensive campaign to suppress the Hood Group. Radley thought Matthew was a playboy, so he was surprised when the latter repeatedly and successfully saved the dying Hood Group. “Thank you,” responded Matthew with an insincere smile. Radley walked slowly to Danna’s side. She immediately took his arm. “Radley.” Seeing that, Freya sneered. This caused Radley to glance at her. Freya didn’t avoid his gaze. Her gaze was straight and calm. Radley’s words pulled Danna out of an awkward situation, but Freya wasn’t willing to let Danna off theOriginal content from NôvelDrama.Org.
hook yet. When Freya wanted to speak again, Danna interrupted her gently. “Freya, I misunderstood earlier. Please forgive me.” Freya did not respond. Matthew had already taken her away after letting out a cold snort. Matthew led her to a table and handed her a glass of champagne. “Why bother arguing with that kind of woman? There’s no need to stoop to her level.” Meanwhile, Freya took the glass but didn’t drink the champagne. She swirled it and replied, “I’m gonna cause another trouble tonight, believe it or not.” “Is she still a threat to you, Kittie?” Matthew didn’t seem to care what she might do and laughed nonchalantly. Freya didn’t answer. She didn’t know the specifics of the two-year marriage she had with Radley, but she had lost when they divorced. A while later, Matthew went to talk to the other guests. Braxton was also chatting with someone. A bit bored, Freya went out into the backyard. Bathed in moonlight, the fountain in the backyard was shimmering with sparkling radiance. Some guests who preferred peace and quiet were hanging out in the backyard. Freya sat down by the fountain and played with her phone. She had only just settled down for a few minutes when Danna walked toward her with her dress held in her hands. Danna was smiling softly with a look of concern. “Freya, why are you out here?”
