“Do you know how hard it will be to walk on this path?”
Heidi reminded Freya sincerely, saying, “You’re our goddaughter and the ex-wife of Ryan’s cousin. This
is a fact that can never be erased. That’s right. You two are just dating. If Ryan were an ordinary
person, no one would accuse you both of anything. However, he’s the prime minister’s son. Every word
and action of his will surely be in the spotlight. Not only that, there’ll be many people like Rodney on the
internet. With those people’s slanderous remarks, there’ll gradually be people who truly think you were
having an affair during your marriage.”
The expression on Freya’s pretty face changed slightly.
Heidi sighed softly. “In Ryan’s case, it’ll only affect his career. It’ll be scarier for you. The world is always
tougher on women. Harsh words on the internet will a****k you like a tsunami. If things get worse, it’ll
even affect Freycatheli’s reputation as you’re the founder.”
In an instant, Freya’s chest felt heavy as though she was being suffocated.
She knew the power of cyberbullying all too well. That was why she was afraid and fearful.
“Freya, believe me. I don’t mean to put you in a difficult position. I don’t dislike you because of your
relationship with Ryan either. We’ve spent time together before. You’re a good child.”
Heidi said in earnest, “It’s not because I mind that you’re a divorcee either. A divorced woman still has
the right to gain happiness. What I’m really worried about is the relationship that you and Ryan used to
have. This world isn’t as clear-cut as you think. Many people’s thoughts are very d***y. Do you
understand?”
“I understand.”
Freya took a sip from her cup. She could not even enjoy the taste of the drink.
Her mind was in utter confusion.
What about the others? There would be many with the same thoughts as well.
They would not believe in the truth. They would only humiliate others based on their judgments.
In the past, Osher Corporation was boycotted due to Rodney’s tarnished reputation. It had disappeared
entirely from the industry.
What if Freya was involved in scandals too?
What would happen to Freycatheli?
Freycatheli was not Freya’s alone. It belonged to everyone working there.
“Think about it properly,” Heidi said gently. “Ryan said you two are just dating. It’s not certain that you
two will get married. He’s right. I, too, want to ask if it’s worth putting everything on the line for a
relationship? Moreover, you just got over a failed marriage recently. I’m guessing you won’t easily walk
into another marriage for the next three or four years.”
Freya smiled miserably.
There was no one else who could target people’s hearts as precisely as Heidi.
She was right. Other people gave it their all with marriage in mind when they dated, yet she and Ryan
were only doing it to be in a relationship with each other.
Was it worth g******g the reputation and foundation of Freycatheli, which had finally stabled?
Freya was lost.
Up until today, she had faced failed relationships one after another. From that, she realized that only
her career would not betray her.
At the very least, there would still be something she could possess even when the world abandoned
her.
After the meal ended, Heidi stood up. “I have a meeting later, so I’ll have to leave first. You can come
over to the official residence when you have time. I miss Dani quite a lot too.”
