“Stop right there.” Forrest caught Freya’s collar and yanked her back. “I’m warning you, don’t talk about
this to Mom and Dad.”
“Even if you didn’t warn me, I wouldn’t do that.” Freya raised her chin and met his gaze.
Forrest studied her in silence for some time. He sneered. “Even if it’s not met, there’ll be other people
who will do it. Let me think. The first person to do that will be Jessica. She likes to do these kinds of
things the most.”
“Brother, you’re overthinking. Jessica is supportive of Ryan and me. She knew about our relationship
early on.”
Freya shrugged her shoulders in frustration. “I think you have a huge misunderstanding against
Jessica.”
“Misunderstanding?” Forrest had the urge to knock her on her stupid head. “Are you a person who
doesn’t hold grudges? Did you forget that if it weren’t for Jessica swapping the contraceptives and if it
weren’t for her threatening you, you wouldn’t have needed to marry that idiotic Rodney? That woman
can go to any lengths to get benefits and please her family. She’s an emotionless, selfish, and cold-
blooded woman.”
“Brother, I did hold quite a grudge against her back then.”
After letting out a sigh, Freya lowered her head and looked at Dani. “However, after Dani was born, I no
longer hated Jessica. How do I put it? She can go to any lengths to achieve her goals, but even if she
didn’t do those things, other people in the Snow family would’ve done them in secret.”
“You move on pretty quickly.” Forrest sneered. “No wonder you got bullied by people like Rodney,
Sarah, and Patrick.”
Freya’s expression darkened. “Brother, you’re too much. I had no choice. I could divorce Rodney
smoothly because of Jessica’s support and great help behind the scenes. Moreover, she must have her
own reasons considering the position she’s in.”
“Are you even siding with her now?” A hint of anger flashed across Forrest’s dark eyes. “You must’ve
been brainwashed by Ryan. I admit that Ryan did help the Lynch family before, but are you still not
aware of what he’s aiming for? He’s targeting you. He wants to attract you and make you like him.”
“…”
Forrest’s words were stuck in his throat.
“Brother, don’t worry. If this relationship brings trouble to all of you, I’ll break up with Ryan. I won’t set
aside my family just for romance. I’m aware that my family is my true support.”
Freya smiled at Forrest to please him.
He let out a harrumph. “You’d better look out for yourself.”
He turned his head and left after speaking.
“Brother, I think Jessica was willing to help me this time because of you,” Freya spoke from behind him
all of a sudden.
Forrest’s towering figure halted. “You’re overestimating me.”
He left without turning back.
After Freya had breakfast, she got ready to head to the company. Suddenly, her phone rang. It was
Heidi who called. “Freya, do you have time? A decent breakfast cafe recently opened near your
company. Shall we try it out together?”
Heidi’s voice was gentle, just like it was in the past.
However, Freya felt immensely pressured.
