SWNOVELS Chapter 436 Strong Greed
Chapter 436 Strong Greed
Freya observed Hannah’s blushing face and her expression when talking about Bax. She appeared to be a young girl deeply in love.
When she spoke about this man, she was always talkative.
Freya’s heart grew heavy as she observed Hannah’s demeanor. It didn’t seem like she was just playing around with this.
She glanced at Radley and asked, “What’s Bax’s full name?”
Hannah chimed in eagerly with her face filled with sweetness, “His last name is Smith, Baxter Smith.”
Freya pursed her lips as she tried to find the right words to avoid offending the lovesick young girl. After all, at this age, she might not be receptive to any words of caution about love.
“Hannah, since he has been imprisoned three times, have you ever considered that there are very few cases of wrongful convictions in today’s legal system?” Freya cautiously asked.
Hannah’s expression suddenly changed. “Freya, what do you mean by that? Do you not believe me, or do you not believe in Bax?”
Looking at Hannah’s hostile gaze, Freya sighed. She could finally understand Rosie’s helplessness.
Perhaps it was the recent belittling of Baxter by Rosie that had caused Hannah to react defensively.
“Hannah, I have no objections to free love, Freya said with a smile. “However, if you want to get married, you should consider it carefully. Marriage is a serious commitment, and it’s best to have the blessings of both parents.”
Hannah pursed her lips tightly, bravely defending her love. “It would be best to have their blessings. I will do my best to show you his virtues. However, it wouldn’t be fair if you were to judge him solely based on his past mistakes.”
Freya pondered for a moment, realizing that the point made by Hannah seemed quite reasonable.
“You’re right. Perhaps Baxter has already turned over a new leaf,” Freya said with a smile. “If that’s the case, why don’t you bring him home and let your mother and brother meet him?”
Just then, Rosie suddenly stood up and declared, “I absolutely won’t allow any riffraff into my house.”
Hannah also became angry. “You just look down on him. Anyway, I’m determined to marry him! If you don’t allow him to come, I won’t come after marrying him!”
Rosic was taken aback by her strong resolve.
Being a prideful person, she couldn’t help but tremble slightly as she pointed at Hannah. Her eyes filled with tears as she said, “I’ve raised you, cared for you, and showered you with love all these years. The whole family holds you in high regard. And now, for the sake of a man, you’ve lost your senses?!”
Hannah bit her lip and remained silent. She could sense her mother’s anger.
Freya glanced at Radley. His face grew cold, indicating that he was about to speak. She quickly pulled him aside.
“Hannah, why don’t you go back to your room and have a rest? Let me talk to your mother, okay?” she said. gently.
Upon taking a glance at Rosie, who looked heartbroken, Hannah reluctantly ran upstairs while biting her lips.
The living room fell silent.
Rosie, who had just been imposing, now seemed to have lost all her spirit with her daughter’s absence.
“What have I done to deserve this? Radley, how could your sister fall for such a man?” she spoke through. gritted teeth, seething with anger. “He must have seduced your sister. If there’s no other way, we need to find a way to get him out of Caltun!”
Freya sighed softly and said, “Madam Rosie, I don’t think your method will work. In modern society, as long as two people want to stay in touch, there are countless ways. You can’t possibly send Baxter to a remote area with no signal, can you?”
“What’s your point then? We can’t just let Hannah marry that hooligan, can we?” Rosie anxiously looked at Freya. The latter smiled and replied. “The more people oppose their relationship, the more desperate. Hannah wants to marry him.”
Observing Rosie’s contemplative expression, Freya continued to offer her advice. “Why don’t we let him bring Baxter back to meet us? If we can’t find a breakthrough with Hannah, we might find one with him.”
A person who had been in jail three times, twice for theft and once for molestation, was likely driven by strong greed.
Rosie sighed heavily, “I had thought about giving him some money to make him leave Hannah, but seeing how deeply Hannah had fallen for him, I realized she was probably sharing everything with him. Someone like him who knows Hannah is the heiress of the Monaghan family wouldn’t easily let go.”
Freya nodded. “This is not the time to trigger his defiance. Madam Rosie, please consider allowing Baxter to come over here. We can set a time for this. Radley and I will be here to see what kind of person he is.”
Rosie furrowed her brow and pondered for a while. “Fine!”
After chatting with Rosie for a while, Freya left the Monaghan Residence without seeing Hannah come downstairs. Radley then sent her back to the Kaufmann Residence.
In the following days, Freya visited Brandon, Russell, and Lucius. According to Lucius, Maddox had followed them all the way.
After all, if it weren’t for Maddox shouting in the sewer at that moment, Freya would have escaped a lot earlier.
After visiting her friends, her life gradually regained stability. She started working at Wonder Aroma, a company under the Monaghan Group. However, her working hours were not fixed.
Wonder Aroma was currently managed by Leah. Its operations were proceeding smoothly.
Three days flew by. During the day, Freya went to work; after work, she spent her time researching dietary therapies for Isabella at home.
At eight o’clock in the morning, she received a call from Rosie. “Frey, Hannah said she’s bringing Baxter home for lunch today. Do come over.”
She had just woken up and was sitting at her dressing table, combing her hair. She furrowed her brows slightly and said, “So fast.”
Rosie seethed with anger. I’ve told you, he has absolutely no manners! Who announces meeting with the other’s parents on the very same day?”
Freya chuckled lightly and said, “It’s alright. You don’t really consider him as a potential son-in-law, so there’s no need for any preparations.”
She then dialed Radley’s number. He answered promptly. “I’ll pick you up later.”
Freya smiled and asked, “Did your mom call you?”
“Yes.” Radley’s voice sounded deep.
Considering that Hannah was bringing Baxter to the Monaghan’s mansion, Freya chose a slightly more formal dress.
At the very least, this would help Hannah feel valued. Perhaps it could reduce any rebellious tendencies. too.
After getting ready, she went downstairs to have breakfast.
Isabella had a hearty appetite after passing the morning sickness stage. The family of four engaged in conversation while enjoying their meal.
Sylvia cast a glance over Freya’s attire and asked, “Do you have plans for today?”
“Yes, I’m going to the Monaghan Residence to meet Hannah’s boyfriend,” Freya replied.
Sylvia raised her eyebrow as she asked, “Hannah is dating?”
Freya pondered for a moment and gave a brief explanation. “Baxter doesn’t seem like a good person. Hannah fell for him simply because he saved her life before.”
