– Freya was surprised. The person Ryan brought was truly not bad.
“This is my friend, Eliza Robbins.” Freya immediately went to Eliza’s side.
“Nice to meet you, Ms. Robbins.” Max extended his hand politely.
Eliza shook his hand.
When their gazes met, it was calm.

Chester watched them coldly. Everyone was an adult. He knew what Ryan and Freya were thinking.
However, would Max fancy Eliza?
He would just have a fling with her as well.
“I was just about to take a rest, Mr. Langston. Why don’t you play in my stead? I’ll have a chat with
Ryan.” Freya handed the racket to Max. “How are your badminton skills?”
“It’s so-so.”
Max stood on the other side. Eliza served first.
Both of them played back and forth. The rally lasted for tens of strokes.
Eliza would sometimes make tricky shots, but Max could receive them all. They played back and forth
and were in tune with each other.
As Freya watched from the side, she sighed. “Your friend has great skills.”
“I’m not lacking compared to him. We can try it out later.” Ryan put his arm around her shoulders and
whispered into her ear, “So that your eyes aren’t glued to Max all the time.”
“Are you jealous?” Freya laughed. “Your friend is pretty good-looking. He seems very honest too. Does
he have a girlfriend? He’s not flirty, right?”
“He doesn’t have any bad habits.” Ryan gave these six words
Freya was satisfied. She glanced at Chester, who was beside her. She then targeted him with her
words. ” That’s good. Actually, whether they end up in a relationship or not doesn’t matter. They can be
friends, unlike a certain person who thinks he’s high and mighty. He thinks he’s so great just because
he has some money and influence. He doesn’t even know how to respect others.”
Chester spoke calmly, “Ms. Lynch, don’t be unreasonable. When you first came to Canberra, I never
disrespected you.”
“Because we didn’t have any conflict of interests,” Freya said decisively. “You didn’t fall in love with me.
If you had fallen in love with me, you would’ve thought I was suitable to have a fling with since I came
from a small place, but I’d never be good enough for you.”
“You have quite a few misunderstandings about me.” Chester was unfazed.
“They’re not misunderstandings.” Freya raised her chin. “I’m also aware that if it weren’t for the Lynch
family’s business getting bigger and me being in a relationship with Ryan, you wouldn’t even be talking
to me on equal footing here.”
“Your impression of me is too complex.”
The corners of Chester’s mouth raised. A faint smile that could make any woman blush and quicken
their heartbeats appeared on his handsome face.
People who did not know his true colors would only think of him as an elegant gentleman.
“Young Master Jewell, I’m tired from playing. You can go next.” Catherine walked over all of a sudden.
Chester took over the racket.
Shaun immediately followed and embraced his wife. “I’m resting for a moment too. Which of you guys
are going next?”
“Me.” Ryan did not dare to let Freya go next. He quickly replaced Shaun.
When he and Chester walked toward the court, he smiled warmly. “Freya can be a little reckless. Don’t
mind her.”
“I won’t.” The two words came out of Chester’s thin lips indifferently.
“But…” Ryan suddenly smiled profoundly. “President Jewell, maybe sometimes the reason you think
that a person isn’t good isn’t because of the other person’s problem but because you look down on
them entirely.”
Chester’s deep eyes glinted.
