She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 234

Chapter 234 Does Your Captain Know About This

"Why is everyone hiding this from me?" Josiah's tone brimmed with genuine

concern.

He'd finally taken a liking to a junior-someone who truly stood out to him-only to find out that something as monumental as her marriage had been completely swept under the rug.

Freya halted her move on the chessboard, trying her best to ease the old man's surprise. "It wasn't just you. My

whole family didn't know about my marriage either."

Josiah's confusion only deepened. What kind of man would have the audacity to marry Freya and not inform her family? It was, frankly, unthinkable.

"Who is this man?" Josiah's indignation flared. His voice sharpened with frustration. "I need to give that fellow a piece of my mind!"

"It's all in the past now. I've already cut ties with him."

"No, absolutely not! You have to tell me who he is."

Freya kept quiet, uncertain how to explain.

She knew that Josiah and Kristian had crossed paths more than once, shared a certain familiarity. Bringing it up just didn't feel right.

"Don't you see me as family?" Josiah's voice softened with sincerity. He wanted nothing more than to protect her. She was a gem-how could anyone not treasure her?

Freya turned the chess piece in her hand, then finally said, "Kristian Shaw."

"What?"

Kristian Shaw?

"Kristian Shaw," Freya repeated with quiet composure.

Josiah was reeling. He couldn't wrap his mind around it. Wasn't Kristian the courteous, upstanding young man he'd always known? "You mean the current president of Shaw Group in Jeucwell? That Kristian Shaw?"

"Yes." Freya nodded.

"That can't be! Every time I've met him, he's been nothing but polite and well- mannered. How on earth..." Josiah shook his head in disbelief.

In Josiah's eyes, Kristian had always seemed above reproach. He treated elders

with respect, employees with generosity. Even when he playfully threatened Gerard's bonuses, he never actually docked them.
