She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 132

Chapter 132 Frederick Was Kidnapped

Vivien was utterly taken aback by the sudden outburst.

She had never seen Hugh lose his temper like this, and she stood there, frozen in place, momentarily too stunned to respond.

"Mr-Mr. Briggs," she stammered, swallowing hard, her voice laced with fear. "Why are you so angry?"

Hadn't he admitted it himself? Or perhaps he hadn't disclosed the true nature of his relationship with the investment advisor to Ethel?

As she mulled over these thoughts, Hugh spoke, his words sharp and deliberate. "The investment advisor you mentioned is my daughter, Freya Briggs."

"How-How is that possible?" Vivien stuttered, instinctively attempting to deny the truth.

"Get out!" Hugh's patience was at its breaking point. His fury erupted like a wildfire. "From now on, you are never to set foot in my house again."

He had once treated Vivien like a daughter. Who could have predicted she would speak about him and Freya in such a manner?

Vivien, panic-stricken, knew full well the importance of Hugh's protection. "Mr. Briggs, I'm sorry. I didn't know she was your daughter. It was my uncle who told me she had that kind of relationship with you, and she didn't correct him, so I misunderstood."

Her words only served to fuel Hugh's rage further.

His face hardened with anger. "You two talked about this in front of her?" he demanded.

"It was... my uncle who said it," Vivien faltered, realizing too late the situation was slipping out of her control. Hugh's gaze instinctively shifted to Freya, a sense of guilt washing over him for not protecting her better.

But Freya, calm and composed, didn't seem troubled in the slightest. Lies would never gain a foothold in the truth

She glanced at Vivien's frantic face and, with a cold smile, offered some advice. "You might want to follow your uncle's example and end up sharing a cell with him."

"What?" Vivien's mind was spiraling in panic.

Upon learning Freya was not only Hugh's daughter, she realized she was in deep trouble.

Now everything made sense-why Hugh had listened to Freya at the company earlier that day, why Freya had stated that, without her consent, she would never join the Briggs Group again.
