Chapter 68 Boosting Her Security Measures
As Freya left her home, she carefully scanned the roadside and saw two groups of people patrolling.
She noticed that each group consisted of three people, and she couldn’t help but wonder what was inside the bulging pouches attached to their waists.
Where are these people from? Since Braxton knows that someone is secretly targeting our family, could these people be sent by him to protect me since he’s worried about my safety at home?
Freya planned to visit Braxton at the hospital after meeting with Killblade at night.
At 2 p.m., Freya arrived at the Joint Department in West Geft.
As Freya entered the conference room at the entrance, she was greeted with a chaotic scene. People of all ages were present, and an elderly man with gray hair was lying on the ground, struggling to get up.
“Hey, you pushed my grandpa! You’re gonna pay for this!”
The staff member was anxious. “I didn’t push him. He was going to hit me, so I just blocked him!”
Freya frowned. “What’s going on here?”
Ayden, who was accompanying Freya today, stepped forward to inquire about the situation and returned after a while. “A family is dissatisfied with the compensation for demolition. So, they are causing trouble and demanding seven houses in compensation.”
Freya twitched the corner of her mouth. “How big is their house?”
“Their house is only eighty square meters, but they claim to have more households in their family.”
During demolitions, families with several households would usually receive more compensation in terms, of housing, but demanding seven houses seemed excessive and unreasonable.
After hearing Ayden’s report, Freya nodded in understanding. She knew she didn’t need to handle this matter personally, so she turned to head inside.
“Wait, don’t go!” A middle-aged woman in the conference room rushed over and stopped Freya. “I’ve been watching you for a while. Are you the one in charge of the Kaufmann Group?”
The teenager, who had been arguing, turned his head and hurried over. “Mom, it’s her! I saw her in the news online. She’s the current president of the Kaufmann Group!”
As soon as the young man spoke, a dozen or so people in the office immediately surrounded him.

Ayden’s face turned cold, and he stopped them angrily. “Step aside! If you have any problems, find the staff to resolve them!”
Freya was tightly held by the middle-aged woman. Freya frowned and subconsciously protected her stomach with her other hand.
“Let go. If you have any problem, just say it, and we’ll solve it properly!” Freya said in a low voice.
She used some tricks and successfully broke free from the woman’s grip.
But the next second, the woman sat directly on the ground and hugged Freya’s legs!
Freya was speechless.
She could hear the woman crying.
“Are you trying to kill us?
“We didn’t ask you to pay. It was you who wanted to demolish my house! We’ve put forward a condition. Proceed to demolish our homes if you dare!”
The crying voices were overwhelming. Freya frowned and wanted to pull her leg away, but the woman held on tightly and she couldn’t move at all.
Her head was hurting from all the crying, and everyone in the office came to pull the ten or so people up.
The security guards who came to help were struggling to pull them up, but some of them fell back to the ground.

Freya’s forehead throbbed continuously, and she was held by the woman so she couldn’t stand firmly. The anger in her heart also surged up.
“Let go of me! We have surveillance here. What you are doing already constitutes provocation and troublemaking!” she warned coldly.
The woman’s eyes widened. “You rich people are all heartless! You’re trying to demolish my house and kill me! Ahh!”
Freya couldn’t take it anymore. Her face turned cold. “Let go!”
The inside of the building was in chaos, and someone walked in from the outside.
As soon as Radley entered the building, he saw Freya being held and unable to move.
The security guards, staff, and troublemakers were mixed up in chaos.
Radley’s face instantly turned cold. “Connor, call the police!”
When someone heard the word “police,” they became nervous.
The police station in West Geft was only two streets away from the Joint Department, so the police arrived at the scene within ten minutes.
Everyone was taken away, and the staff brought the surveillance video along as evidence.
Freya’s chest was heaving. The commotion had given her a headache and her stomach was churning.
Radley saw that her face was pale, and he went over to help her up. “Are you okay?”
Freya waved her hand. I’m fine.”
She went back to her office and sat on the chair for a while. When the sickening feeling subsided, Ayden knocked on the door and came in.
“Miss Kaufmann, Mr. Monaghan has just strengthened the Joint Department’s security, and the Public Relations Department has been moved to the next door, away from the office area.”
Freya nodded.
Yesterday, Radley had saved her, and today he had helped her out of trouble.
After resting for a while, she got up and went to his office.
As she entered, he was sitting at his desk looking at documents. When he saw her, the coldness on his face softened slightly. “Feeling better?”
She nodded and said, “Mr. Monaghan, thank you for your help today.”
Radley stood up and had Connor go make some tea. The two of them sat on the sofa in the office.
He asked in a deep voice. “Today’s incident is minor. What are you going to do about yesterday’s incident?”
“What else can I do? I’ll strengthen the security at home and be more careful when going in and out.” Freya didn’t plan on telling the truth.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw his face turn cold. “That’s it? How can you protect yourself like this?”
Her heart skipped a beat. “The security at the Kaufmann Residence is very good.”
Besides, what did this have to do with him?
She suddenly thought of the many people around Kaufmann Residence and asked, “Radley, were those people around my house sent by you?”
Radley’s face was cold. “I asked Connor to send them.”
The atmosphere became awkward.
He added, “You are now a partner of the Monaghan Group, and the Monaghans must protect your safety.”
It turned out to be for business, and Freya’s tense heart relaxed.
“Thank you, but the Kaufmanns are not easy to mess with. You can rest assured that if those people dare to come again…”
She did not continue speaking.
Their conversation went from personal matters to the renovation of the West Geft after they sat in
Very soon, Connor came back and served the tea. “Mr. Monaghan, our staff have returned from the police’ station. Fortunately, the surveillance footage is clear, and we are not at fault.”
Freya got up to go back to the office.
Just as she stepped out, she saw a girl standing in front of Radley’s door, staring at her and causing her to stop in her tracks.
Freya was speechless. The girl looked familiar to her.
The girl was extremely beautiful, with slightly raised corners of her eyes, and had a glamorous.
appearance.
She looked a bit like Radley.
Freya quickly guessed the girl’s identity in her heart-Hannah Monaghan.
Freya nodded at her slightly and planned to leave.
Hannah stared at her former sister-in-law, and when she saw that the other party was about to leave, she bit her lip and hesitated.
Although she had a change in attitude toward her former sister-in-law now, she used to boss Freya around.
The Monaghans had spoiled Hannah’s temper, and although she wanted to talk to Freya, the tone of her speech changed when she spoke.
“Freya, is this your attitude when you see me now?”
Freya turned to the side, glanced at Hannah with indifferent eyes, and said, “Miss Monaghan, what attitude do want from me?”
Hannah was speechless. She was the second-ranked fan of DiligentFrey!
“I… Why did you come to my brother’s office?”
Freya sneered. “You can’t even speak properly. Go ask your brother if you have any questions.”
Then, Freya went straight back to the office.
Hannah stared at the door, feeling both angry and annoyed, and also a little regretful in her heart.
She originally wanted to talk to Freya, but she was too proud to speak softly to Freya.
If Freya had responded gently, Hannah’s attitude would have gradually improved.
Sure enough, Freya was still very dislikable!
Hannah angrily entered Radley’s office. “Radley, Freya-
Radley sat behind his desk with his ink-black eyes slightly raised. “Hannah, you came in without knocking. Where are your manners?”
She was at a loss for words, but she was most afraid of Radley. She bit her lip. “I’ll remember to knock next
time.”
“Why are you here?”
“Mom said you haven’t been back to the mansion for a long time, so she asked me to come and see you.” Hannah sat on the chair, swaying back and forth. “Radley, I just saw Freya.”
“Uh-huh.”
“She suffers from memory loss, huh? It’s like she’s changed completely.”
“Uh-huh.”
She propped her chin and said, “So It’s true. I even saw her at the entrance of our school last time where she helped Edward deal with some troublemakers. Actually, she looks a lot better this way than before.”
Just then, Radley put down the file in his hand. “She helped Edward deal with troublemakers?”
Hannah became interested and described what she had seen to him.
“Radley, Freya is actually a good person. Why did you divorce her?”
