Chapter 226 I Want Custody Of The Child

"Next year, you're stepping into the big shoes at Briggs Group-ready or not." Alan dropped the bomb like it was just another casual remark. "If you skip the corporate retreat and don't meet the team, how will you even know who's running what?"

Freya blinked, genuinely thrown off. "Who even said I'm taking over the company?"

"Uncle Hugh," Alan replied with the breezy ease of someone delivering weather updates. "He's already made up

his mind-you're it."

Freya's brows tightened in disbelief. Hadn't she already made it clear that the company wasn't in her plans?

"Aren't you, managing it just fine?"

"Everyone deserves to live life how they want." Alan's voice carried an edge of sincerity. "Think about it-how long have I been steering this ship for you? Don't I deserve a shot at a normal life? To date someone? Maybe even get married?"

Freya replied, her tone firm, “It's not like there's much to manage anyway."

"If you show up to tomorrow's team-building retreat, I might stick around for another year."

Freya said nothing.

"Come if you feel like it."

"Understood."

She ended the call, realizing she was left with no real choice but to go to the retreat this time.

What she didn't know was that, moments after the call, Alan turned to the people with him.

He was sitting with Ethel and Hugh.

"Mina said she'll join the corporate retreat tomorrow." He let out a slow breath, a flicker of relief passing through him.

Ethel lit up with a smile. "Alan, you're amazing!"

Hugh asked, "She didn't sound upset, did she?"

"Not really," Alan replied, sounding a bit uncertain. "She seemed calm. But she might corner you later to ask

about this whole company handover."

"That's fine," Hugh didn't seem bothered in the least.
