University
It was the weekend, and she was going to do her weekly live stream.

When she arrived at Evergreen University, Edward was already waiting at the gate. He immediately got into the car when Freya pulled up.
During the drive back home. Freya noticed that he seemed a bit down.
“Edward, how’s school been lately?”
Previously, the students at Evergreen University had been spreading rumors about Edward being her gigolo.
So. Freya felt a bit guilty. “I heard about what happened before. People were spreading rumors about us at school. I’ll clarify it during my live broadcast tonight.”
Edward immediately reacted. “Frea, don’t listen to those people’s nonsense! I didn’t take it to heart.”
With a smile. Freya commented, “You’re still young and don’t have a girlfriend yet. Those rumors are bad for your reputation.”
“It’s okay. It’s just that the hospital called. They told me that Jamie’s condition isn’t looking good” Edward lowered his head. Gloom crept up his handsome face.
Hearing that, Freya frowned. She had read Jamie’s medical record and knew that further observation was needed before the surgery could be performed.
If Jamie’s condition got worse now, he might not be able to have the surgery.
“Don’t worry, Edward. I know a great doctor. If your brother’s condition is serious, I can ask her to perform the surgery. No matter what, there’s always hope.” Freya comforted him.
“I know, Frea.”
Back at the Kaufmann Residence, Freya started the live broadcast and clarified her relationship with Edward.
While applying her makeup, Freya stated, “My assistant is a talented student majoring in photography at Evergreen University. I see him as a little brother.
“However, there have been some rumors going around lately, so I’d like to ask everyone to stop spreading them. Just for the record, Eddie is much younger than me.”
As Freya spoke calmly, comments began to roll on the screen.
“Who’s so bored as to spread a nonsense rumor like this!”
Eddie is still in college. Let’s try to avoid shipping them or fantasizing about him!
As Freya’s assistant, Edward had an account on Twitter and had also appeared on her live broadcast a few times. The audience loved his looks.
And some even shipped him with Freya. Before, Freya hadn’t been bothered to deal with it, but now that it was affecting Edward, she couldn’t ignore it anymore.
As Freya continued to broadcast, a notification on the screen took up everyone’s attention.
“Monlia gifts 99 champagne roses to DiligentFrey’
MonDa was the top contributor in Freya’s live broadcast room. Freya thanked her contributor as usual before continuing with her makeup.
Soon, Matt Majesty, Sparkling Sorceress, and HumblePath all popped up in the chat.
Freya curled her lips. She had been streaming about beauty, healthy lifestyles, and skincare for a while. now. Hence, she also gradually grew close with her viewers.
“Let’s have a get-together sometime, shall we? SparklingSorceress, HumblePath, and Mr. MonDa, are you guys also in Caltun?”
The three of them fell silent at the same time.
Getting no response, Freya raised an eyebrow but didn’t mind about it.
It was MattMajesty who responded instead. ‘Sure, let’s get together!”
Freya sneered. “You can hold your own gathering, Matthew.”
After the live broadcast was over in the evening, Freya drove Edward back to Evergreen University.
As soon as she watched him enter the gate, she sat in the car and called Ethan, the director of Caltun General Hospital.
“Dr. Griffiths, how is Jamie’s condition?”
“I was just thinking of calling you. Jamie has been in a coma for too long, and his physical condition has deteriorated a lot recently. The main issue is the blood clot in his brain. Let me send you his me record for you to take a look.” Ethan sounded serious.
“Okay, please send it to my email.”
Ethan knew her identity as Doctor Harlan and her email address. After hanging up the phone, Fre about to start the engine when she noticed something.
It was an ordinary black business car parked not far behind her.
Squinting her gaze at it, she vaguely recalled seeing it earlier today.
Immediately, she became wary. After all, someone on the dark web had taken on the mission to kill her just recently.
Since the car had appeared twice today, Freya was almost certain that they were stalking her.
Freya remained calm and drove back home, occasionally checking the rearview mirror.
The business car followed her at a distance until u left as she approached the Kaufmann Residence.
When the car turned away, Freya was somewhat surprised. It didn’t seem like they wanted to kill her, but
rather like they were following and protecting her.
She made a mental note of the car’s plate number before driving into the mansion’s gate.
Then, she parked her car and went into the house.
Braxton
Braxton was sitting in the living room, answering a call from Vroria.
“Yeah, I know.”

At the sight of his surly look, Freya thought of something and sat across from him. “Brax, is it Granny’s call?”
“No.” Braxton’s aura was cold.
Squinting at him, she asked, “Is it Izzy?” Apart from their maternal side of the family, the person who would call Braxton from Vroria could only be Isabella.
“Yeah”
“Oh, have you two reconciled?” Freya was delighted.
“Nah.” Braxton scoffed before continuing, “She asked me for recommendations on good restaurants in Vroria because she’s going to have lunch with Chris tomorrow.”
Freya showed him a surprised look.
Displeased, Braxton asked her, “How is Chris back in Vroria? I thought he was in Caltun.”
“I have no idea, but his hometown is in Vroria anyway. It isn’t surprising for him to be there.” Freya innocently blinked her eyes.
Braxton became frustrated and went to his study with a dark face.
Watching him leave, Freya sent a message to Isabella.
I just got home and noticed that my brother is very irritable. What did
Soon, Isabella replied, ‘He’s angry right now?”
With a smirk, Freya texted back. ‘Yes.’
you do?
Isabella’s video call immediately came in. As soon as it was connected, she acted sneakily, trying glimpse of who was with Freya.
With her phone’s camera, Freya took a quick scan of her surroundings. “Don’t bother looking. Bras went to his study.”
“Actually, I was trying to test him. The Hollands invited me to dinner today. I went since our families are in collaboration. I didn’t expect to see Chris there.”
Then, Isabella went on to ramble about what had happened. “Chris mentioned that he was pressured by both you and Radley to return to Vroria. What’s going on?”
Freya raised an eyebrow and asked, “What does Radley have to do with this?”
Gradually, the two got into a deep conversation, and Freya finally got to learn about Isabella’s feelings for her brother.
She sighed since she had promised her brother not to tell Isabella the truth.
But for Isabella, who didn’t know the truth, it was like her boyfriend suddenly broke up with her and left their relationship in a state of limbo.
He never fully cut ties with her but wouldn’t commit either.
In Isabella’s eyes, this was no different from playing with her feelings.
Seeing the gradually dimming hope in Isabella’s eyes, Freya couldn’t help but cheer her bestie up. “Izzy, you understand my brother’s character. There must be a reason that he can’t disclose. Don’t give up on him.”
“Alright, I won’t give up!” Isabella’s spirit was ignited. “Tll have dinner with Chris tomorrow and take pictures. Then, I’ll post them on my social media and set it to only viewable to your brother!”
“Sure.” Freya was amused.
