She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 199

Chapter 199 Throwing His Flowers Away

If the person standing across from Freya hadn't been her grandpa, she would've turned on her heel and walked away without a second thought.

But respect had been drilled into her since childhood, so even though the topic rubbed her the wrong way and

she had no desire to engage, she was stuck.

"Who exactly do you want me to marry?" Freya asked, cutting straight to the point.

"In three days, there's a gathering for you young folks. I've already signed you up. Just attend it then," Miguel said, his tone rigid and expression unreadable.

"Fine," Freya replied flatly, her voice devoid of emotion.

She'd grown used to his commanding tone-one of the many reasons their relationship had always been rocky.

They didn't exchange many words after that. Alan chimed in briefly before leading Freya away..

Once they were in the car, Alan glanced over and asked, puzzled, "Why didn't you let me speak up for you back

there?"

Ever since their grandfather brought up the idea of a strategic marriage for business reasons, she had been subtly hinting at him to stay quiet.

"Whether you speak or not, it won't change anything. If you do, he'll only get angrier and give us another lecture," Freya said, having long figured out how Miguel operated. "If you stay silent, he just gets to finish what he wants to say, and that's that."

"Are you seriously planning to go to that event he mentioned?" Alan asked, frowning.

"Yes," Freya answered, her tone calm and unaffected. "If I don't, he won't drop it."

"Maybe I should talk to him sometime," Alan suggested, not wanting Freya to force herself into anything unpleasant. "He's never really cared about you, and he always thinks you're lacking," he added.

To their grandfather, Freya's absence from the public eye was a sign of weakness-a fear that she'd humiliate the Briggs Group if people knew she was the chairman's daughter.

But in truth, she far outshone Alan in every way.

"No need," Freya said, her voice firm, already knowing Miguel too well. "It won't change a thing."

If words had any weight, she would've brought up Anita International Group already, but she knew all her grandfather ever cared about was forging business alliances through marriage.

That, to him, was the ultimate currency.
