Chapter 132 She Wants to Matchmake
chance to matchmake Freya and her brother.
“Mom, my 20th birthday is coming up in a few days”
Rosie smiled. “I know. Let’s have a small banquet for you then. But you don’t like having the banquet at the Monaghans mansion because it’s too restrictive. So, as usual, you can have the birthday banquet at the villa by the seaside. I’ll have the butler prepare everything for you. You can invite your girlfriends and
classmates there.”
Hannah shook her head while smiling slyly. “I want to have the birthday banquet at our mansion this year. How about we make it bigger and invite everyone in Caltun who have good relations with the Monaghans?”
Rosic lifted her eyebrows. Her daughter wanted to have a bigger birthday banquet. She naturally had no objections to it.
The young lady of the Vincents had invited all the prestigious families in Caltun for her 18th birthday. The Vincents and the Monaghans were incomparable. Since her daughter wanted a big banquet, she would make sure it was grand.
However-
“What are you planning to do?”
Hannah smiled. “I want to invite Freya and her best friend, Isabella. Melissa from the Marshalls is also in Caltun now. She’s my good friend. Mom, think about it. My brother will definitely be back for my birthday…”
Hannah didn’t say anything next, but Rosie already understood.
At the Joint Department in West Geft.
Brandon had just finished drawing up the design for the pavilion, and now it was time for precise processing. The slightest difference in the tenon-mortise structure joints could have a huge impact, and it might not fit together properly later. Brandon needed to supervise the entire process to be assured.
When Radley entered the Joint Department in West Geft, his face was cold and stern.
Nowadays, he came to the Joint Department every afternoon.
Brandon opened the door to his office and said, “Radley, come and take a look at this design”
Radley responded and walked in. After looking at the design, the two of them discussed the process of precision manufacturing, as well as subsequent issues such as anti-corrosion and insect-proofing Radley’s suggestions were all critical, and Brandon nodded and agreed with him from time to time. Besides that, Brandon would explain the workflow of waterproofing to him.
After the discussion, Brandon looked at the corridor outside the office.
Thaven’t seen Freya for a few days now.”
Radley pursed his lips. “Hmm”
“So you’re coming here every day for nothing?”
e
Brandon joked.
Radley replied calmly, “It’s okay. I should be able to see her in a few days.
“What do you mean by that?”

He handed Brandon an invitation letter that he had prepared a long time ago. “My sister’s birthday banquet is coming up soon. Mr. Lane, you should bring your wife to join us. You’ve been in Caltun for quite some time, so it’ll be great to celebrate together.
Brandon accepted the invitation with a smile. “All right. My wife’s health has improved a lot lately, so I’II bring her over then.”
The invitation to Hannah’s birthday banquet was also sent to the Kaufmann Residence. Braxton was at the company, and only Freya was at home.
She looked at the letterpress invitation in her hand.
Did she need to attend Hannah’s birthday banquet?
As she was pondering, her phone rang. It was from Melissa. Her voice was excited. “Frey, Hannah invited me to her birthday banquet! It’s the day after tomorrow, but I don’t have any formal dresses. Can I borrow some from you?”
Freya readily agreed. “Sure, come over after school today.”
Since Melissa had decided to attend, Freya also made up her mind to go to the banquet. After all, she had promised Noah to take care of Melissa. Melissa was outgoing, straightforward, and often got into trouble. Freya had to keep an eye on her at this kind of banquet.
Hannah had invited many people to her birthday banquet. In the evening, Melissa came over. Freya helped her choose a dress while answering a call from Isabella.
“Is the Monaghans planning something? They’ve always been low-key. I actually received an invitation to Hannah’s birthday banquet.”
Isabella was somewhat suspicious.
“We don’t have many business dealings with the Monaghans, but they’ve invited me. They’ve probably invited everyone in Caltun. I’ve never seen such a big event in previous years.”
Freya sat on the sofa, watched Melissa change into her evening dress, and casually replied, “If you want to go, just go. The Monaghans’ plans have nothing to do with us anyway.”
Isabella’s voice was low. “Okay. Since you’re going. I’ll go too. But have you found a companion?”
Freya was taken aback. “A companion?”
“Didn’t you read the invitation carefully? It says to bring a partner along! It would be embarrassing if you don’t have one!”
Freya laughed. “But I don’t have a partner. What should I do? They can’t just turn me away at the door if I show up alone, can they?”
