It Off

"Am I right?" Freya said coolly.

"I know you don't like me, but that doesn't mean you have to go around making nasty assumptions about me and Vivien." Cheryl looked furious, but she held herself back-likely out of fear for Freya's status "I'm simply ini a relationship with your father, nothing shady about it."

"Is that so?" Freya replied, her tone unreadable.

"Yes," Cheryl answered with conviction.

"In that case, I won't stand in the way of your marriage to my dad," Freya said without batting an eye. "You're free to pick a date for the wedding."

Cheryl blinked, clearly thrown off. She looked stunned. She hadn't expected Freya to switch gears so fast. Hadn't she just been interrogating her a moment ago?

How had a couple of sentences turned into a green light for marriage? Freya didn't strike her as someone who trusted easily.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Freya asked lightly, noticing the reaction she'd anticipated.

Cheryl realized she'd slipped but quickly recomposed herself-she'd always been good at playing calm. "You really approve of me marrying Hugh?"

They hadn't gotten married yet because Hugh had wanted to wait until his daughters were on board.

"I do."

"Why?"

"Because, as you said, your relationship is pure-no hidden agenda," Freya replied, finally steering the conversation to the point. "But before you register the marriage, there's something I need to say upfront."

"What is it?" By now, Cheryl was entirely under Freya's lead.

Freya spoke clearly. "After you marry my dad, Vivien won't be inheriting anything." Cheryl froze.

"The Briggs Group shares have already been passed on to me and Sheila," Freya continued, fully aware of what Cheryl was after. "And every other investment he owns has been legally documented to go to us too."

Every word out of her mouth was fact.

After their mother died, Hugh had quietly arranged it all with his lawyer.

Freya had only found out by chance not long ago.
