Chapter 298 Heading to Hartterre
Freya was deep in thought when her phone rang. It was a message from Radley, providing her with the necessary information for the upcoming contest.
This was the most prestigious contest in the industry, with over a dozen domestic and international media outlets live-streaming the entire event.
The contest took place every three years, and this time it would be held in Hartterre, Florin, which was quite a coincidence. If it were to be held abroad, it would have been inconvenient for Freya to attend, especially now that she had Jolly.
Freya furrowed her brows as she read through the information from previous contests.
In the past, all the contests had segregated perfumers from various countries. However, it wasn’t as strict as a military camp. The purpose was to prevent cheating, and the daily lives of the perfumers would be broadcasted live, which would add an element of entertainment.
“Hartterre, for half a month…”
Freya pondered.
Before long, Sylvia came downstairs.
“Did Radley leave?” she asked.
“Yes,” Freya looked up at her mother. “Didn’t you go back to your room? How did you know?”
Hearing that, Sylvia gave Freya a glance. “How could I really leave you alone with him? I was on the balcony just now and saw his car being driven away.”
Freya nodded upon hearing that, and at that moment, the nanny brought Jolly out.
Sylvia immediately carried the little one and chatted with Freya. “What did Radley say to you?”
“What else could it be
He wants to collaborate with our company and create a fragrance brand,” Freya replied casually.
“You didn’t agree, did you?” Sylvia furrowed her brows.
“It’s a good thing. Why wouldn’t I agree?” Freya smiled.
“You agreed?”
“Yes.”

As Sylvia held Jolly in her arms, she scrutinized her daughter’s expression.
“You have to understand that if we continue to collaborate with the Monaghan Group, you will inevitably have to continue to meet with Radley. Have you thought about that?”
“I know, but we shouldn’t mix business and personal matters. Mom, you previously. mentioned that Caltun is not that big, and we will meet sooner or later. Besides, why not make money if we can?” Freya said.
With a shake of her head, Sylvia commented, “Money isn’t a concern for our family, and if you’ve truly considered everything and wish to avoid any further ties with Radley, perhaps it’s best not to proceed with this collaboration.”
Freya then chuckled softly before adding, “It’s not just about money. What I value most is the development of the industry. The position of top luxury spices is gradually being replaced by perfumes. Mom, you also know that I’m a perfumer. I want to promote and carry forward our traditional skills and culture.”
Perhaps this was just a dream, but one must always strive to have hope.
“It’s up to you, Freya. As long as it’s something you truly want, your brother and I will support you.” Sylvia sighed softly.
Hearing that, Freya felt warmth in her heart and leaned against Sylvia. “I understand, Mom.”
Jolly, who was in Sylvia’s arms, squirmed and reached out his hands, wanting Freya to hold him.
Freya looked at her adorable son and felt rather reluctant.
Not seeing Jolly for half a month was really unbearable.
Freya didn’t reveal too many details to Sylvia. When Braxton came back in the evening. Isabella came with him.
After dinner, the four of them sat on the sofa.
Freya finally told them about the upcoming program she needed to participate in.
“Going to Hartterre?” Braxton immediately frowned. “It’s rather unsafe there.”
“Don’t worry, Braxton. I’ve already checked. The program will be broadcasted live throughout the entire process,” Freya signaled to Braxton with her eyes.
Even if someone wanted to make a move, they wouldn’t dare to do anything under the watchful eyes of the live cameras,

Isabella, on the other hand, was excited. “Going to Hartterre sounds great. How about I accompany you? It’s only half a month, and I can treat it as a short trip.”
Before she could finish her sentence, Braxton interrupted her.
“The wedding is only three months away, and you need to make a lot of preparations. You don’t have time to go to Hartterre.” Braxton then cast her a subtle glance, conveying a message without uttering a word.
Isabella pouted upon hearing that.
“I have…”
Freya found it amusing. Isabella had always been fearless, except when it came to Braxton.
Perhaps it was a case of everything having its vanquisher.
“I’ll go by myself. I’ve read the rules of previous contests, and they should allow perfumers to bring an assistant.” Freya smiled.
“Who do you plan to bring? You don’t have an assistant,” Sylvia asked.
Freya smiled. “I’ll bring Brisa.”
“Brisa?” Sylvia was puzzled. “Wasn’t Brisa your assistant when you were at the company? She probably doesn’t know much about perfumery, but she can help with some tasks.”
“I’d be good enough if she could help with tasks.” Freya looked at her brother and saw that his expression had indeed softened a bit.
Sylvia didn’t know Brisa’s identity, but Braxton did.
With Brisa by her side, Freya would be safe.
However, leaving for half a month meant that “The Compendium of Medical Wisdom” would not be safe at home.
Should I bring it?
Freya thought for a moment. Recently, she had been updating the contents of “The Compendium of Medical Wisdom” on a medical forum, and she had already updated half of
During the updates, she didn’t encounter any obstacles. Moreover, more and more traditional medicine scholars had discovered its value and started urging her to update more.
This indicated that those people coveted “The Compendium of Medical Wisdom.” It wasn’t

just for the prescriptions inside, but the book itself.
Maybe I should bring it.
Freya was thinking about it when Jolly started squirming again.
Her heart ached as she looked at her adorable Jolly.
“I won’t be able to see you since I’ll be at Hartterre for half a month. My little baby…
Freya hugged Jolly and showered him with kisses.
The four of them chatted for a while, and Isabella secretly pulled Freya aside.
With that, both of them went back to the bedroom on the second floor. After entering the room, Isabella spoke softly.
“Freya, what about your brother’s illness when you go to that program?”
Freya smiled. “Don’t worry, I’ll only be gone for half a month. If I calculate the time correctly, the approval from the Drug Administration should be ready when I come back. and I can perform the surgery for my brother.”
Isabella nodded. “Are you really not letting me go to Hartterre with you? I heard there’s a famous beach there. If the program is recorded in Hartterre, it’s highly likely that it will be there.”
“What beach?” Freya asked curiously.
“The Pink Beach. It’s located in a small town in northern Hartterre.”
Freya nodded. Going to Hartterre had one advantage.
Aside from bringing Brisa, Ink was also from Hartterre. At least, her safety would be guaranteed after she arrived.
The two chatted for a while before Isabella left.
Since she and Braxton were not married yet, she had to return to the Parker Residence at night, and Braxton saw her off.
Freya nestled on the sofa on the balcony of her bedroom as she watched the car leave. Following that, she picked up her phone to send a message to Brisa.
Green Scylla: Tisch, is your relative done with their visit? Are you free recently?
Tisch: What’s the matter?

Ink: Huh?

Ink: Shouldn’t you be informing me first when you’re coming to my territory?
