Chapter 554:

Freda kept her emotions in check as she spoke to her father. “I want to apologize to him in person,” she said with a carefully neutral expression, holding her true thoughts close. Karl nodded, his satisfaction evident. “Now that you’ve realized your mistake, it’s time to end this hunger strike. Go eat something,” he advised.

Freda nodded obediently and waited for the servants to bring out the dishes. Then, she quickly messaged her friend Alena to inform her about her change of heart. She would no longer pursue Theo, but she was not about to let Gavin and Elyse off the hook.

Alena was relieved to see Freda’s message. She quickly replied, “That’s the spirit. You’ll settle scores with Gavin and Elyse.”

Freda’s eyebrow arched. She was determined to take revenge on Gavin. His interference had spoiled her chance to manipulate Theo. She had almost succeeded.

The next morning, Freda got up early to carefully select her outfit and apply her makeup. By the time she was ready, she learned that Gavin had already arrived. Karl, who had scheduled a business meeting with Gavin, led him into the study. Freda took her time, settling leisurely on the couch in the living room while enjoying some fruit.

Three hours later, the men emerged from the study.

Karl’s eyes briefly met Freda’s, still lounging on the couch, before he turned to Gavin. “There was a misunderstanding between you and my daughter last time. She’s now eager to speak with you,” he said with a cordial tone.

Karl then left the living room with a reassuring pat on Gavin’s shoulder. He sensed that Freda might be reluctant to apologize to Gavin in his presence.

As Karl exited, Freda gracefully rose and approached Gavin, her eyes fixed on him.
