Chapter 309 The Path To Getting His Ex-Wife Back
After returning to the villa, Freya and Brisa took a good nap.
At half past three in the afternoon, the two of them slowly walked out of the villa toward the director’s team.
The director’s team was getting worried about the setting of the coins. This setting was originally a big gimmick. All the contestants present were somewhat famous in the industry. It could be said that they were all influential figures in the industry, and they couldn’t afford. to offend them.
But if the competition continued like this, the show would lose its appeal and drama.
Since they couldn’t order these people around, they had to come up with this coin system to
attract everyone.
When Freya arrived, the staff who received her immediately handed her today’s task board upon hearing she wanted to take on a task!
The task board was made of a small blackboard, and the tasks listed would change daily. Freya speculated in her heart as she looked at the tasks on the board.
“Fishing?”
Freya frowned slightly. “In this season, the fish in the sea should be staying near the seabed, right? The weather is so cold, after all.”
“The oxygen levels near the seabed in Hartterre are low, so sometimes the fish will come near the surface.”
The staff on the side cautiously added, afraid that the two of them would back down.
“Okay, we’ll take on this fishing task.” Freya immediately made a decision.
The staff reminded the two of them, “The pink beach is completely reserved by the production team. As long as you are in the area of the pink beach, you can fish normally. You have permission.”
Freya thought for a moment. “May I ask how many coins I can get from this task?”
The staff smiled. “This is considered a high-value task. Every ten pounds of fish is worth two hundred coins.”
Two hundred coins-equivalent to two hundred dollars.

Freya gritted her teeth. It was worth it, at least at this critical moment when no one provided
meals.
Freya rented two sets of fishing gear from the staff, and the rental fee was five bucks per person per time.
She couldn’t help but complain in her heart. They sure know how to trick people.
The two of them arrived at the seaside wearing rubber shoes and waterproof overalls. The area of the pink beach was not small, and they quickly walked past a patch of scattered reefs.
Freya was lucky. There were few people in this area, and she caught a big fish as soon as she
arrived.
She put the fish in a small basket.
She thought for a while, her gaze constantly falling on the camera drones flying in the air and monitoring them.
With cameras here, she couldn’t reveal her skills. Thus, she continued to catch fish clumsily. with a net.
Freya, while pretending to be clumsy, managed to catch five to six big fish in a little over an hour.
Brisa, who received Freya’s hint, accidentally knocked out a fish in a naive and innocent
manner.
In just an hour and a half, the two of them filled up a large bucket full of fish.
Brisa’s net was also filled with fish. After tying the knot in the net, they started discussing.
“Every ten pounds of fish is worth two hundred coins, meaning two pounds is about forty coins.” Freya nudged the bucket with her leg. There are about forty pounds of fish in my bucket.
Brisa smiled brightly. “I have more than twenty pounds in my net. Let’s make do for now. We’ll catch more tomorrow.”
On the live broadcast page, the comment section was filled with comments.
‘Is she the goddess of fishing?”
‘Fishermen, just worship Freya Kaufmann in the future. Worship her, and you won’t be disappointed in your hauls!”
‘How can someone catch fish directly with a net? The most ridiculous thing is Freya’s

assistant, Brisa. I clearly saw her miss, but she ended up catching another fish!”
The people in the comment section were utterly confused and perplexed.
In the director’s monitoring room, the wall was filled with footage from various cameras.
Radley was sitting next to the director, and a hint of a smile appeared in his ink-like. eyebrows and eyes.
“She’s not acting very well.”
The director cautiously glanced at Radley. Now he was sure that this big shot came here to see Freya.
It seemed that the rumors online were true. After Radley and Freya got divorced, he was now on the path to getting his ex-wife back.
“I remember you said that there would be a banquet after the first round of the finals. Radley turned to the director.
The director immediately nodded. “Yes, yes, it’s being prepared. We didn’t reveal it in advance because we wanted to surprise the contestants. It will be held tomorrow night, and all the members of the organizing committee and the sponsors will be invited.”
Radley nodded, got up, and left.
The director wiped the sweat from his forehead. “This guy is really intimidating when he stays here!”
The assistant director next to him still had lingering fears. “Director, when will Mr. Monaghan leave?”
“Mr. Monaghan is the biggest sponsor this time. Eighty percent of the funds come from the Monaghan Group! And you want me to ask him when he will leave?”
The director clicked his tongue and looked at Freya, smiling and holding a bucket full of fish
on the screen.
“Nobody can resist a beautiful woman. I wondered why the Monaghan Group suddenly sponsored this competition a while ago. I sort of understand now.”
Freya not only brought record-breaking traffic to this competition but also an unprecedented amount of sponsorship.
“Miss Kaufmann is really a lucky star. She has the looks, the talent, and an unwavering personality.” The director couldn’t help but sigh. “It’s a pity that she’s the daughter of the Kaufmanns. Otherwise, I really want to invite her to play the leading role in my next movie.”

“Director, I heard that Mr. Mccarthy invited her before, but she has no interest in acting at all.”
Freya returned to the grocery store with the bucket of fish. The staff responsible for the exchange was dumbfounded when they saw the full bucket of fish and the net in Brisa’s hand.
Since it was an exchange, the staff had already tested all the tasks in advance to maintain the balance.
When they tested the fishing task, they only caught one fish after fishing for an hour!
Did Miss Kaufmann stir up the fish nest?!
Although they had doubts, the staff still honestly weighed the fish for Freya.
“Miss Kaufmann, it’s a total of four eight pounds. Since this is your first task, I’ll round it up to seventy pounds. A total of one thousand four hundred coins. Here you go.”
The coins prepared by the production team were small coins made of copper, similar to the small game coins in an amusement park, but they were golden in color and looked very pleasing.
One thousand four hundred coins definitely had some weight to them.
Brisa complained in a low voice, “Why do I feel happier receiving these coins than when I completed a task worth one million four hundred thousand before? Is the production team trying to manipulate me?”
“No, you just want the self-heating hot pot,” Freya whispered.
Just like that, the two of them became the richest among all the contestants. Freya thought of the kitchen utensils in the villa and waved her hand.
“Forget about the self-heating hot pot. Let’s buy some ingredients, and I’ll make a seafood hot pot for you when we get back.”
The grocery store had everything they needed. Freya and Brisa bought a bunch of meat and vegetables suitable for the hot pot.
“I want to eat this too.” Brisa pointed to a salmon and called Freya.
Freya looked at the price. “Five hundred coins? It’s quite cheap when converted. But after buying the ingredients and drinks, we only have one thousand coins left.”
“I’ll continue to go fishing tomorrow.” Brisa insisted on buying it.

Freya generously poured out half a bag of coins and also bought several bags of instant noodles, planning to give them to the girl who lent them instant noodles last time when they returned.
