Chapter 311 Fake News
Riley stormed out in anger.
Freya glanced bewilderedly at the girl standing by the table.
She was the girl who had borrowed instant noodles from her before, and she seemed. friendly.
Freya then took out several bags of instant noodles from a bag beside her and added two bags of biscuits and some snacks before filling them into a small bag.
“I borrowed instant noodles from you before, so I am returning them to you now.”
“Miss Kaufmann, this is too much.” The girl was taken aback and waved her hand. hearing that.
upon
Brisa, who was standing nearby, stuffed the bag into her arms without hesitation. “Just accept it. We ate your instant noodles earlier on, so this is just a small token of appreciation.”
The girl was taken aback by Brisa’s enthusiasm and looked at Freya while holding the bag of snacks.
“Have you had dinner?” Freya asked with a smile.
The girl immediately felt somewhat awkward and replied, “Yes, I have.”
Following that, the aroma of hot pot filled the air and the girl’s stomach growled.
“You haven’t eaten this late at night. It’s because I borrowed your instant noodles earlier. Let’s sit down and eat together.” Freya smiled.
“Is it okay?” The girl hesitated.
The next moment, Brisa pulled her over and pressed her onto the chair beside her.
“Just eat if you want to. Don’t be shy.”
“Thank you, Miss Kaufmann and Miss Trujillo,” the girl said gratefully. “My name is Leah Abbot, and I’m from Hartterre.”
Hartterre?
Freya smiled. “I didn’t expect you to be a local. After the competition is over, we can go and have fun together.”

Leah immediately nodded after hearing that.
Three of them were drenched in sweat as they enjoyed the hot pot.
In the end, not a single piece of cut ingredients was left.
After finishing the meal, Leah volunteered to wash the dishes while Freya dealt with the unused ingredients. She wrapped them one by one with plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator.
Leah cleaned the pots and dishes, and Freya wiped the countertops clean.
The three of them went back upstairs after everything was cleaned. up.
Freya and Brisa lived on the third floor, while Leah lived on the second floor. At the staircase, Leah held the snacks Freya gave her, and she bid farewell to Freya with gratitude before. watching Freya and Brisa go up to the third floor. Just as Leah reached the door of her room, the door next to her opened.
Helga looked at Leah and asked, “Leah, did you enjoy the hot pot?”
Leah immediately became somewhat scared. “Helga, I just lent Miss Kaufmann a bag of instant noodles before this, and she invited me to have a meal to thank me.”
Hearing that, Helga waved her hand nonchalantly and responded, “Leah, I brought you along to learn perfumery because you’re my relative, and I signed you up for this competition. It have changed your destiny, and you shouldn’t forget this favor, right?”
“I won’t forget, Helga.” Leah looked down as she answered.
“Good.” Helga looked at the bag in Leah’s hand and asked, “What do you have in your hand?”
“It’s just some snacks and a few packs of instant noodles. Helga, you can have them.” Leah knew that once Helga asked, she wouldn’t be able to keep the things.
With that, she handed the bag to Helga.
However, when Leah thought about having to wake up early tomorrow, she realized she had no food left.
“Helga, can you leave me a pack of instant noodles?”
Hearing that, Helga sneered and disdainfully looked at Leah as she took out a pack of instant noodles from the bag before throwing it into Leah’s arms.
“Look at you, with that pitiful look. You’re so pathetic.”

Aller Ultering those words, Helga went back to her room and slammed the door shut.
Meanwhile, Leah stood still for a few seconds with the pack of instant noodles in her arms. before returning to her own room.
Freya and Brisa, who had learned a lesson from being called at six in the morning today, went to bed before ten o’clock.
The next day, no one came to wake the contestants up, even when the sun was already up.
After Freya and Brisa got up, they discussed and thought that since they had nothing to do, they might as well earn some coins. After all, they had to stay here for another ten days.
With that, Freya went downstairs to prepare breakfast.
“What should we eat in the morning?”
Brisa asked as she rubbed her stomach. “Let’s have something light. Didn’t we buy some millet yesterday? Let’s make some millet porridge and a salad.”
Freya nodded and went downstairs to the kitchen. When she opened the refrigerator, she found that the salmon they had frozen yesterday was now down to just a head, which baffled. her.
She took a deep breath and removed the cling wrap to take out the vegetables.
The vegetables she stored in the cling wrap last night were wrapped in a bag, which could prolong their freshness.
But now the bag had been torn apart, and it was apparent that someone had taken the vegetables out. There were even scattered vegetable leaves nearby.
Seeing that made Freya’s forehead twitch.
Brisa, who was standing behind her, leaned over to take a look when Freya didn’t speak. Brisa was wide-eyed at the sight of the salmon head.
“Oh my! There’s a thief here?”
Freya pursed her lips. “We bought a lot of vegetables yesterday, and we only ate a quarter of the salmon. It’s not something one person can finish.”
Suddenly, there was a commotion behind them, and Freya turned around to see a girl. walking in with a bowl of salad. As soon as she saw Freya, she smiled.
“Miss Kaufmann, thank you for breakfast. I’ve been really hungry lately, and this meal has replenished my energy.”

Freya remembered that this girl used to stay out of it when others often spoke ill of her, but now her attitude seemed quite good.
Freya squinted her eyes and smiled. “You’re welcome.”
Brisa wanted to say something but was stopped by Freya.
Freya followed the direction the girl came from and walked outside. There was a row of parasols in front of the villa, and now there were around seven or eight girls sitting there. while eating.
They were eating and chatting around the tables.
Freya noticed the missing ingredients were in their bowls.
Looking at the bowl of porridge in front of each person, Freya now understood where the several kilograms of millet from yesterday had gone.
“Thank you, Miss Kaufmann!”
Three or four people took the initiative to greet and thank Freya.
Freya glanced at Helga and Leah, who were standing aside, and Leah also sincerely thanked her.
“Enjoy your meal,” Freya whispered.
Finally, she looked at Riley and her assistant, who were happily eating their salads.
Freya took a seat across from Riley and calmly asked, “Did you do this?”
Hearing that, Riley put on a smug look and whispered, “There are no cameras here, so I’ll be honest with you. I informed them that you had prepared the ingredients,
and they were free to take them. What do you think about that?”
Noticing Freya’s silence, Riley continued, “If you wish, you can go after them individually, and retrieve your ingredients. However, by doing so, you will offend everyone in this room.”
Riley blinked innocently and added, “Are you feeling uncomfortable now, Freya? This is the consequence of provoking me.”
Brisa was furious and was about to overturn the table, but Freya intervened and stopped her.
Riley showed no fear whatsoever and stated, “If you want to cause a scene, go ahead. Once you do so, I will ensure everyone knows you are only angry because they ate too much of your food. Then, you will witness how everyone perceives you. By then, the two of you will
