Chapter 310

Freya knew Kieranโ€™s skills. It would be only a matter of time before he dug up information on her. If she didnโ€™t take the initiative and gain the upper hand, and Kieran found something incriminating, she and W Group would be in deep trouble. With this in mind, Freya said with difficulty, โ€œIโ€™ll do my best.โ€

โ€œItโ€™s not about doing your best. You have to make it happen,โ€ Ronan patted Freya on the shoulder. โ€œItโ€™s all or nothing now. Think it through.โ€

โ€œI wonโ€™t let him find any flaws,โ€ Freya assured.

Ronan hummed in response, an indifferent sound. While Freya was still surveying her office, Ronan suddenly said, โ€œOh, by the way.โ€

โ€œWhat now?โ€ Freya looked at Ronan with confusion. She thought, โ€˜Whatโ€™s with Ronan today? Acting all mysterious?โ€™

โ€œToday, I heard something quite interesting at the university. Want to hear it?โ€

โ€œNope.โ€

Even if Ronan didnโ€™t mention it, Freya felt it was somehow related to her and probably to Kieran and Kara.

Ronan faked a disappointed tone, โ€œThatโ€™s too bad. I was just about to spill the beans about your ambitious cousin, whoโ€™s been fooling everyone in her class, saying sheโ€™s the predestined fiancรฉe of someone from the Sutton family. But it looks like youโ€™re not interested.โ€

โ€œWait, what do you mean misleading?โ€

Wasnโ€™t that the truth?

โ€œWerenโ€™t you not interested?โ€ Ronan kindly said, โ€œFreya, you should keep a closer eye on the people around you. The country girl Kara might have bigger ambitions than you think.โ€

โ€œThanks for the heads-up. Iโ€™m well aware.โ€

โ€œThatโ€™s good then.โ€ Ronan added, โ€œWeโ€™ve finished the office tour. How about we grab dinner, and then Iโ€™ll drop you off?โ€

โ€œNo need, thanks. I just moved into a new place and havenโ€™t had the chance to tidy up yet.โ€

Freya shook her head. Then, as if remembering something, Ronan asked, โ€œI havenโ€™t asked you how bad your financial situation is now. Why settle for a place thatโ€™s practically a birdโ€™s nest?โ€

Freya smiled. โ€œHousing near Summit University is scarce. The upscale apartment Kieran rented for me is no longer available, and I was in a rush to move, so I had to settle for what I could find.โ€

โ€œThat old building is not the cleanest. I do have some friends in real estate. Iโ€™ll ask around tonight, and if thereโ€™s anything available, Iโ€™ll have the movers transfer your stuff in a few days.โ€

โ€œHow could I impose?โ€ Though Freya said this, she couldnโ€™t help but beam with joy.

โ€œOf course, youโ€™ll have to pay.โ€ Ronan had always been meticulous about keeping accounts clear. Since Freya had known him, she had never benefited materially from their friendship. But that was fine with her. Their relationship was based on mutual interests, clear and straightforward, ensuring no debts of gratitude owed.
