She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 96

Chapter 96 Freya's Still My Wife

Freya saw that Farrah had grasped the situation, so she didn't say much more.

She arranged a room for her and took her out shopping for clothes. By the tthey got back, it was already

past 5 PM.

If Liam hadn't called, Freya would have completely forgotten about the visit to the Shaw residence.

After giving Farrah a few instructions, she quickly rushed over.

By the tshe arrived, it was already after seven.

"Keeping elders waiting like this shows no respect," said a man who looked a bit like Isaac.

Freya recognized him-it was Robin Shaw, Kristian's uncle.

The house was lively tonight. Lionel, Isaac, Melinda, Kristian's two uncles, their wives, and children were all

present.

(Freya knew she was late, so she simply said, "Sorry."

"A simple sorry like that was insufficient. Just because you latched onto Kristian doesn't mean you can be

arrogant," Robin replied, clearly displeased with Freya, whom he thought cfrom a humble background.

Lionel couldn't stand anyone speaking poorly of Freya.

Before he could respond, a cold, calm voice cut through the air, carrying weight. "Unde Robin, you might want to

save that speech for yourself."

Robin frowned. "What are you getting at?"

"Freya is still my wife," Kristian said plainly.

Freya looked at him, startled.

Lionel, Isaac, and Melinda all exchanged pleased glances. They clearly approved of how Kristian was handling

things.

"Dad, look at what Kristian's turned into," Robin complained, not realizing Lionel favored Freya. "All for a woman

who only knows how to climb the ladder and doesn't respect us. He's even clashing with us now. It shows bad

parenting, doesn't it?"

Isaac gave Kristian a casual glance and said, "Well, we didn't raise him well. We certainly can't match your

parenting skills, Robin."

Everyone fell silent.

Robin's children were known for being spoiled and unmotivated. They didn't do well in school or business, and

only cared about having fun.

The room fell into an awkward hush.

still holding Freya's hand, Kristian led her to sit beside Lionel. He turned to Robin and said, "If Blaine hadn't

gotten into trouble, Freya and | would've been on time."

"What happened?" Lionel played along.

"Blaine got into a fight and landed at the police station. He claimed the president of Shaw Group was his cousin.

If I hadn't cleaned up the mess, we wouldn't have been late," Kristian said slowly.

Lionel cleared his throat.

He admired Kristian's calm way of lying.

What Kristian didn't know was that Lionel had seen him parked outside the

residence, waiting for Freya for over an hour.

Robin's face flushed, and his wife, Zola, looked embarrassed.

Liam, ever the mischievous one, added, "Getting into fights and ending up at the

station? Uncle Robin, Aunt Zola, that's sfine parenting."

"Liam, don't you think that's too much?" said a girl around seventeen. She was

Carrie Shaw, daughter of Edgar, Lionel's youngest son. "Haven't you and Kristian ever fought with anyone? And

what about Freya?"

Actually, no," Liam replied truthfully.

The elders stayed quiet, letting the younger ones talk.

Robin and Edgar had long held a grudge since Lionel handed Shaw Group to Kristian.

Why him, when Lionel had so many grandchildren?

"Then take a look at this," Carrie said, pulling out her phone. "This is what | saw at

a nightclub yesterday. | didn't expect Freya to fight like this."

She played a video for everyone to see. In it, Freya was seen in a fight.

The video was messy, but her swift, sharp moves were clear. Her stance was firm and unafraid.

At the end, her voice rang out, "Say one more word, and I'll break your other arm too."

The atmosphere shifted.

Everyone turned to Freya, surprised.

Her skills were no joke.

Lionel's first thought was how impressive she was. And then, a deeper fondness settled in.

"Freya, you're amazing." Liam said with admiration. He knew he couldn't fight like that. How did Freya manage

it?

Isaac and Melinda exchanged a look. Clearly, winning over Freya would be no easy feat for Kristian.

"You say Blaine was wrong to fight. What about Freya? What do you call that?" Carrie asked, clearly annoyed by

the praise

She was certain Lionel would disapprove. He always hated impulsive people who acted without thinking.

To Cartie, Freya had embarrassed the shaw name.

"standing up for what's right," Kristian answered calmly.

Lionel nodded. "Exactly."

Isaac and Melinda also agreed. "Kristian's right."

Everyone else looked stunned.

Carie couldn't hold back. “Grandpa, that's biased! Blaine gets scolded, but Freya

is praised for doing the sthing

"If a few ladies hadn't stopped her, she would've gone upstairs to sleep with those men!"

Her voice rose with frustration.

She hated that Lionel favored Freya too. It was bad enough that Kristian and Liam got most of the attention- now

Freya was included?

Carrie believed she, as Lionel's granddaughter, deserved that spot.

"Say that again," Kristian said suddenly, his voice icy and cold. His eyes were sharp, full of warning.

Edgar quickly pulled his daughter back. He didn't want to get on Kristian's bad side.

"If your eyes don't work, get them checked. Freya isn't someone you can insult," Kristian said, cutting straight to

the point.

With those few words, everyone understood Freya's place in this family. Other than the occasional holiday

gathering, they rarely saw her and knew little about her. That was why they couldn't understand why Kristian

had chosen her. "That's enough. This was supposed to be a peaceful evening. You've all turned it into a shouting

match. Why can't you be as quiet as Freya?" Lionel asked firmly, putting on a serious tone.
