Chapter 191 The Oblivious Sister–In–Law
Regardless of whether Braxton agreed or disagreed with cooperating with the Monaghan family, the Kaufmanns definitely wanted to strive for this business opportunity in Iternia.
For many years, the situation in Caltun had always been a balance of power between the Monaghans and Kaufmanns, one in the south and the other in the north,
This business opportunity had a significant impact, and if one family monopolized it, the situation changed.
Freya drove home and returned to the Kaufmann Residence.
After exchanging greetings with her mother, she went back to her bedroom, took a shower, and changed into casual home clothes.
Braxton had not returned from work yet, so Freya turned on her computer and searched for information about the Duke online.
There wasn’t much information available online, so she logged into The Green Flamation forum.
The group was quiet, and Freya started typing on the keyboard.
Green Scylla typed, ‘Duke Morton Wilson from Iternia is coming to Caltun. @Ink, help me find out his specific purpose of coming here, his background, preferences, and all his detailed information.
After sending the message, Freya switched to another medical website to check the recruitment post she had previously posted.
She intended to gather a group of elite researchers to study Braxton’s condition and work on the research together.
Fortunately, Professor Harlan’s reputation was well–known, and there were many replies on the forum.
Freya opened the forum mailbox and saw that many people in the medical field had sent in their resumes.
She didn’t plan to gather too many people, so she selected one promising assistant from the resumes and sent a message back.
As for the others, she sent a unified reply to politely decline their offers.
After finishing her work on this end, she switched back to The Green Flamation forum.
Ink had already replied to her message.
Ink: Does Duke Morton Wilson have time to come to Caltun?
Heartless Scoundrel: Duke Morton Wilson. I know about him. He was famously henpecked in Iternia.
Freya smiled.
She typed, ‘How do you know?
Heartless Scoundrel: Everyone in Iternia knows. Duke Morton Wilson is a relative of the current royal family in Iternia. He is like a cousin to the Crown Prince, and they have a close relationship. With such a status, coupled with the Duke’s outstanding appearance when he was younger, he was once the dream
lover of all Iternian girls.
Ink: Stop spreading rumors.
Heartless Scoundrel: Why would you call it rumors? Ink, are you jealous of my well–informed news?
Ink: Hmph!
Heartless Scoundrel: Hmph, what does that mean? Where are you now, in Hartterre? I’ll come and beat you up in a minute!
The group started to get noisy.
Ink threw a compressed file package into the group, and Freya immediately downloaded it.
The package contained extensive information about Duke Morton Wilson.
t
As Freya watched the commotion in the group, she carefully examined the Duke’s background.
Heartless Scoundrel was right. The Duke had a high status in Iternia and was currently forty–eight years old.
However, from the photos, he looked like he was only in his late thirties, taking very good care of his appearance.
The Duke had a wife from a prestigious family in Iternia, and they had a son who was nineteen years old this year.
Freya looked at the photo of the young man, who had an outstanding appearance. Iternian dukes could inherit their titles, making his identity very noble.
Freya looked at the group where Ink and Heartless Scoundrel were still bickering.
Tisch typed, ‘Green Scylla, why are you investigating the Duke’s information? Is there any danger on your end?”
Freya smiled. Brisa Trujillo was currently on vacation.
Green Scylla replied, ‘No, just enjoy your vacation.
After sending the message, Freya didn’t pay any further attention to the “battle” in the group. She information about the Duke Morton Wilson on her phone and started reading it carefully.
The life of the Duke and his wife was like a romantic fairy tale..
Since the Duke loved his wife so much, Freya also noted down the preferences of his wife and son.
From hobbies to food preferences.
After finishing the information, Freya went downstairs.
Braxton had just come back and was sitting in the living room talking to Sylvia Marshall.
“Duke Morton Wilson’s visit this time. could be…”
put the
Freya approached and heard her brother’s voice. She raised an eyebrow. “Brax, do you also know about
the situation in Iternia?”
Indeed, if Radley knew about it and the Kaufmanns were unaware, she would start to worry.
Freya sat on the sofa and told them about Radley’s proposal for cooperation.
Braxton furrowed his brows, his face filled with hesitation.
“If it’s really about the rumored diamond mines, both the Monaghans and the Kaufmanns will face each other’s retaliation if either family tries to monopolize it. It’s unlikely to have a good outcome,” Sylvia Marshall commented.
“Yes, I think cooperation is the best way out.” Freya added, “Although the Monaghans have been our rivals for many years, the cooperation in West Geft shows that they are not unscrupulous. They are qualified as partners.”
After she spoke, both her mother and brother looked at her.
Freya felt a bit guilty for some reason. “What’s wrong?”
Braxton looked worried. In his heart, family came before the Kaufmann Group.
“Haye you been getting too close to Radley recently?” Braxton asked suspiciously.
Freya smiled. “I’m in charge of the redevelopment project in West Geft. Isn’t it normal to get closer? Don’t business partners need to meet?
Her small hand tightened at her side.
Braxton’s attitude made her feel inexplicably guilty and nervous.
If her brother knew that she not only got close to Radley but also kissed him…
Freya coughed lightly.
Fortunately, her mother was deep in thought and said with a frown, “Freya, I suggest we agree to cooperate with the Monaghans.”
“The current situation is that both families will be stronger if they cooperate. If they compete separately, there will definitely be trouble. Even if one family gets the business, they will pay a heavy price.”
It was better to make money together. That was what Sylvia meant.
Braxton sighed. “I know that cooperation is the best choice, but…”
It’s just that Radley was a thorn in the Kaufmanns‘ hearts. The two years he bullied Freya, the Kaufmanns could let it go, but they couldn’t forgive him.
After the discussion, Freya told Braxton that she and Radley would attend the seminar together the day after tomorrow.
Sylvia looked worriedly at her belly. “You’re already seven and a half months pregnant, and you’re still so active.”
Freya chuckled. “It’s fine. I had a prenatal checkup recently, and the baby is very healthy”
After discussing with her family, Freya went back to her bedroom and sent a message to Radley.
Freya: My brother agreed.
Radley: Okay.
After a while, Radley sent a cute emoticon, which was very different from his usual cold style.
Freya thought for a moment and forwarded the information about Duke Morton Wilson’s preferences that Ink had given her to Radley.
Freya typed, “This is the information about the Duke Morton Wilson’s family. I’ve already noted down some of it. Take a look too.
In business, it was important to cater to the other party’s preferences.
Radley remained silent for a while, then sent a rolling bear emoticon.
The fluffy bear rolled around and hugged a thigh, with two words sparkling in its starry eyes–Thank you.
Freya:
Radley: What’s wrong, Frey?
Freya rubbed her forehead and typed, ‘Did someone steal your account?”
Radley and The Monaghans looked at the message Freya sent and glanced at the self–proclaimed “strategist” Hannah Monaghan.
Hannah’s little hand was trembling.
Oh, why is my sister–in–law so oblivious? She is so adorable!
