Chapter 43 Searching for a Fake Father
At that moment, Freya’s voice became deeper in tone, and her bright eyes appeared col
Everyone in the room noticed a shift in her aura. The atmosphere was overwhelmingly icy.
For a brief moment, they felt as if they were being suffocated so some of the executives straightened their posture.
Freya, no, Miss Kaufmann, is not as related as she usually id
“Ayden, where are the documents I asked you to bring?” Freya had asked Ayden to bring a folder, but he didn’t know what was inside. When he heard her question, he quickly handed it over.
Freya opened the folder and handed out the documents to each executive.
“Seaway Corporation has indeed experienced rapid growth and has demonstrated impressive sales. performance in the past. However, its marketing channel is nothing more than influencers doing live- streaming ecommerce, and there is significant cheating going on. They made large purchases of traffic in order to advertise the brand.”
After Freya presented her findings, she sneered.
Due to these illegal competitive tactics, several major platforms have terminated their contracts with Seaway recently. In terms of physical stores, Seaway has taken over many prime locations in shopping malls, yes, but they have only paid the initial deposit. They are now unable to pay the remaining amount!
“That makes Seaway the current target of several lawsuits. In short, they are in a precarious situation and are considering declaring bankruptcy!”
Now, Jacob wanted to work with the corporation-which was on the verge of bankruptcy-and was even willing to pay them a fifty million advance.
The fifty million would be practically lost if Seaway declared bankruptcy the next day after it was paid!
Following Freya’s findings, the executives expressions changed.
“What’s going on, Mr. Hill?” The Head of the Commerce Department slammed the table and inquired. sternly.
Jacob knew he couldn’t hide it any longer.
He was stunned, and his legs almost gave way, but he managed to hang on.
“Did I actually get conned by Seaway Corporation?!”
“Conned?” Freya sneered.
“I think you just wanted to make a fortune before leaving the Kaufmann Group! Is this what a devoted 20- year employee would do?! PIT
Freya looked at everyone. “We’ll come back to the findings later. For now, let’s look at the last page.”
Everyone quickly turned to the last page, which had two photos attached. The photos showed Jacob and a male stranger speaking in a coffee shop.
“The person with Mr. Hill is the current CEO of Seaway Corporation, Freya reminded them. “And there is evidence of their transaction, which I obtained through a private detective.
“What does Mr. Hill think of this evidence, I wonder?
The collaboration with Seaway hasn’t even begun, and they have already transferred five million to your personal account?”
At this point, Jacob’s face went white, and beads of sweat started to form on his forehead.
Half an hour later, the police came and took Jacob away. The company executives exchanged confused glances with one another.
Freya stood up. “Since the project is no longer feasible, let’s end the meeting here.”
As soon as the door closed, a few of the executives started whispering to each other.
After Jacob was reprimanded, someone whispered, “Although Mr. Hill deserved what he got, I’m still a little curious. If he did such a thing, he must have been secretive about it. How did Miss Kaufmann find out about this?
“Didn’t she say she hired a private detective?”
“Right. But why did she even think of investigating Mr. Hill? She must have known something for her to keep an eye on him.”
The conference room fell silent.
“I think we should all be honest from now on and refrain from doing anything behind Mr. Kaufmann’s back. It looks like Miss Kaufmann doesn’t tolerate any nonsense,” said a vice president before leaving the
room.
When Freya returned to her office, she watched the surveillance footage of the conference room.
The executives conversation echoed throughout the office.
“Miss Kaufmann, this doesn’t look good for your reputation,” said Ayden as he laughed.
“I think it’s fine. I’m not going to be the future CEO of the Kaufmann Group, so I don’t need to act kindly to everyone. I just hope they won’t cause any trouble for a while, Freya replied.
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a wave of nausea.
Frowning, she quickly made her way to the bathroom.
Freya spent more than ten minutes on the toilet until all that was left was gastric juice. Despite this, the nausea continued to come in waves.
She couldn’t help stroking her lower abdomen and sighed helplessly. What a troublemaker, this little one!
By her count, she had been pregnant for over eighty days, and she could clearly feel recently that her abdomen, which was once slightly concave when she was lying down, was now flatter.
She knew she had to hade her pregnancy, as the baby belonged to Radley, and she didn’t want hom to
about it.
She needed to find a way to hade this child as soon as possible.
Freya kad initially intended to stay in by the fourth monch and refrain from leaving the house. Even if the had to perform an Internet live stream, it would only show her upper body, so there would be no problem
it
As for Edward, he was trustworthy, so as long as he kept to himself nobody would find out
She’d just stay at home the entire time, so naturally, the pregnancy wouldn’t be revealed.
However, because of her brother’s accident, she had to travel between her home and the company. With o many eyes on her at the Kaufmann Group, she knew she wouldn’t be able to hide her pregnancy for much longer
After freshening up. Freya got up and exited the restroom.
Ayden came up to her nervously. “Miss Kaufmann, are you alright?”
Freya gave a faint smile. Tm fine. You may go now, Ayden”
Before he left. Ayden reminded her. “Give me a call if you’re not feeling well”
While browsing a few files. Freya couldn’t help but think about how she could conceal the pregnancy
When it was time to get off work, she came up with a simple thought. If she faked a time difference, she could bury the truth!
Although this was a risky plan, as long as Radley was convinced, there wouldn’t be any problems down the road.
Freya’s plan was simple, find a fake father for the baby and delay the baby’s birth for a month!
Of course, the baby would be born when it was time, but while she was pregnant, she could simply he to the public about how far along she was.
This was a good idea, but there was also a significant issue. Where can I find a fake father for Radley’s child?
After work. Freya drove to the hospital and visited the obstetrics and gynecology department for a checkup.
She went to visit Braxton in the ward after getting her medical examination report.
As soon as she arrived at the door, she overheard Isabella’s irate voice
“Are you doing this on purpose? You said you wanted juice, but now you want water. When I give you. water, you complain that it’s too cold”
Freya’s brother. Braxton, weakly replied. “Cold water is bad for my stomach. Isabella”
Hearing that, Freya furrowed her brows slightly. She didn’t know that her brother was so delicate. He used to chug iced water after working out at home, and their mother had scolded him numerous times for it.
She knocked on the door a few times, and the voices inside instantly stopped.

Isabella came over to open the door and saw Freya. She waved her hand and said, “Come in quickly. Your brother is too much to handle. You do it!”
Freya stretched lazily and glanced at her brother on the sick bed. I’ve been busy with the Kaufmann Group all day, and I’m so tired that I can’t even lift my fingers. Don’t you feel bad for me,
Isabella?
