Chapter 162
Freya opened her computer, ignored the call, and continued working on her paper. Seeing that Freya still wasn’t answering, and Matteo was about to leave, Isabella said, “Dad, Mom still won’t pick up. Can you call her for me?”
Matteo didn’t say much. He used his own phone to call Freya. Freya saw the call, reached over, and hung up. Matteo looked at her, paused, and said, “Mom didn’t pick up Dad’s call either.”
“Maybe Mom was busy and didn’t see it?”
Otherwise, Mom wouldn’t have ignored Dad’s call.
“Maybe.” Matteo put on his suit jacket and grabbed a black coat, saying, “I’m leaving. You can go out with the bodyguard if you want to play.”
“But I want Mom to come with me…” Although she didn’t like it when her mother was too controlling, sometimes she still wanted her to accompany her. She pouted again and asked, “Dad, are you going to the hospital to see Aunt Raven, or back to the company?”
“First to the hospital, then back to the company.” Matteo lightly tapped her forehead and said, “I’m leaving. You go and have fun.”
Isabella sighed and said, “Okay…” She called Freya two more times, but still, there was no answer. So, she had no choice but to ask the bodyguard and the housekeeper to go with her to play. But without the person she liked to be with, she couldn’t enjoy skiing. She came back home in a gloomy mood not long after.

After leaving the hospital, Matteo returned to Wilson Group. He had just arrived when Levi came. Matteo glanced at him, and Levi smiled and said, “Came to watch the show?”
Before Matteo could reply, Chad came over to inform him, “Lawyer Blake is here.” Matteo said, “Please send him up.” Chad led Paul to the guest reception room. Matteo shook his hand and said, “Please, sit.”
Paul didn’t waste time. He sat down and immediately took out the divorce agreement that Freya had signed yesterday, pushing it toward Matteo. Matteo took it. It was the weekend, and Levi had specially come to see if Freya really signed the papers. Seeing that she had indeed signed, he was surprised. “She really signed?”
Matteo glanced at the name Freya had signed, showing no reaction, and then began talking with Paul. After discussing for a while, he said, “The properties and shares listed in the agreement are too many. I need some time to process the changes. Once everything is settled, I’ll contact you again.”
Paul said, “Okay.”
Matteo told Chad, “Chad, please see Mr. Blake out.” After leaving Wilson Group, Paul contacted Freya to inform her of the result. She frowned and asked, “How long will it take to process everything?”
“It depends on Matteo Wilson’s progress.”
“I see. Thanks, Paul.”
Chapter 162
The next day, she went to work at Cole as usual. In the afternoon, she was talking with Johnny in the office when his phone suddenly rang. Johnny looked at the caller and frowned. Freya asked, “What’s wrong?”
He handed her the phone to show her: “It’s a call from Rex Hardin.” They were both in the same circle. Although they didn’t interact much, they still had each other’s contact. Since they last met at Wilson Tech, Johnny thought there was no need for further contact; why was he suddenly calling now? Johnny was puzzled but answered the call.
A while later, he hung up the phone and told Freya, “He wants to discuss a new project with us.” The two projects Freya had been leading recently had been gaining significant attention. They were expected to cooperate closely with the government again soon. Once the news broke, Cole’s doors would probably be flooded by potential partners. But the news hadn’t been released yet, and Rex had already come to them first.
Johnny sneered and said, “Reed Hardin is really a crafty old fox.” However, given that Reed Hardin is in that position and has firsthand information, it’s normal for him to prioritize his own people first. This is how things work in high society. Johnny has already gotten used to it. He clenched his teeth and said, “Our company definitely needs to cooperate with others if we’re going to expand the project, but recently I’ve just found Rex Hardin a bit annoying…”
Freya knew that he was irritated by Rex’s interest in Raven. Freya truly didn’t care. She calmly replied, “The project should proceed smoothly. Our main goal is to maximize our profits. Everything else is secondary.” She had met Reed once. He might have personal interests, but judging by how their teacher treated him, it was clear that Reed was someone they could trust.
Johnny responded, “I understand.” He was just venting. He lifted his chin and snorted, saying, “Anyway, it’s still a while before we officially start recruiting investors, so I’ll just keep him hanging for now.”
Freya smiled. “Whatever makes you happy.” Rex’s call ended, and they continued discussing business. However, half an hour later, Johnny’s phone rang again. Seeing the caller ID, this time he was both disdainful and pleased.

Freya knew it was another familiar call and asked, “…Who is it?”
Johnny chuckled, “Harry Becker.”
