Chapter 351:
The room fell into an uneasy silence until Ethel, driven by a sudden impulse, queried, “Do you genuinely wish to
reconcile with my sister?” Hugh's brow furrowed in confusion at her line of questioning. What on earth was she
up to?
Kristian hadn't anticipated any support from Ethel. “Yes,” he responded simply.
“Very well, then,” Ethel countered sharply. “Hand over all your shares in the Shaw Group and your entire fortune
to my sister.”
She then added with a fierce glare, “And while you're at it, try to piece together a shattered mirror or gather up
water that’s been spilled. If you can manage those feats, then perhaps I'll consider letting you chase after her.”
Kristian’s mouth fell open slightly as he countered, “Why does everything have to be about putting things back

“Aren’t you trying to remarry my sister?” Ethel fired back, her brows knitting in confusion.
“Yes, | am,” Kristian replied, striving for clarity. “But when | say | want to marry her again, I'm not talking about
picking up where we left off. We're not dredging up our old life together; we're setting the stage for something
entirely new. We can’t relive the past. That part of our lives is gone. But the future... we can build something new

standoff. Tseemed to stretch into an endless moment until Kristian finally shattered the silence, his voice
directed firmly at Hugh. “I promise to treat her well.”

Hugh remained stoically silent, his thoughts swirling. Why hadn't Freya shown up yet?
The idea of agreeing to Kristian’s proposition was ludicrous, especially considering how close Hugh had cto
physically confronting him over Freya's heartache. And yet, here Kristian was, boldly seeking his blessing once
again.
“Mr. Briggs,” Kristian ventured once more, breaking the strained silence.
“Do you suffer from a short memory?” Freya's sharp voice sliced through the tension as she strode in, still
dressed in her business attire, her presence commanding. “Hadn't he already rejected your request?”
Freya's arrival immediately caught the attention of the three people in the room.
Hugh's tension eased when he saw her, though worry lingered in his heart. He was unsure if she still had feelings
for Kristian. If that were the case, Kristian’s actions might have hurt her deeply, intensifying her distress.
“Mina!” Ethel’s gaze locked onto her.
