Chapter 40 Ashley's Ridiculous Request

Freya dismissed any desire to debate with Ashley. "Sure, you're right"

Ashley sensed her words vanishing into emptiness. Never before had she encountered someone like Freys

"Don't imagine that Kristian's generous divorce settlement indicates any emotional attachment Actually. Ashley restrained a powerful wave of fury that threatened to shatter Freya's composed exterior. Why did Freya consistently project such an air of superiority during their interactions when she herself felt completely

disregarded?

Freya's attention was bombarded by Ashley's relentless prattle. For the first time, she discovered someone who

irritated her to such an extreme degree.

Previously, she had considered women the most charming beings in existence, certainly true of her sister and

friends.

Now, however, she genuinely contemplated hurling Ashley through the nearest window.

"Have you finished?" Freya refused to squander another moment on her.

Ashley teetered on the edge of losing her self-control. "Freya Briggs!"

"Your conversation holds no interest for me. If you've arrived merely to discuss such inconsequential matters, just get out of my face." Freya maintained complete detachment throughout. Ashley's intellectual caliber fell too far below her own to warrant engaging in any battle of wits.

Ashley felt deeply wronged. The confrontation she had envisioned unfolded nothing like this. Freya should have challenged her verbally, perhaps even insulted her physically. Only then could she weep and complain to Kristian, turning him against Freya. This strategy would eliminate any concerns about Kristian regretting their

divorce.

She compressed her lips and proposed, "I need to discuss something extremely significant with you. Let's continue our conversation downstairs."

Freya countered, "If you have something to communicate, express it here."

Ashley pressed her lips together and remained silent.

Freya simply observed her without reaction.

They reached an impasse.

After approximately a minute, Freya's endurance evaporated. She entered the room, retrieved her laptop, then

closed the door and went downstairs.

Once they reached the street, Ashley indicated a nearby café. "Let's talk there"

Freya completely disregarded her and signaled for a taxi

Ashley stood bewildered.

She immediately pursued the vehicle and obstructed its path. I genuinely need to discuss something important with you!"

"Please proceed," Freya instructed the driver without sparing Ashley a glance.

She lamented not purchasing a car earlier to keep in the garage. Now, leaving presented considerable difficulty.

"Young lady, perhaps you should step out and conclude your conversation with your friend," the driver suggested, hesitating to drive while Ashley blocked their path. “She appears to have an urgent matter."

Freya felt tremendous reluctance.
