Chapter 66 Be His Partner

Radley’s eyes flickered slightly. “It’s tonight at 7. The Joint Department will be off work in the afternoon, so we can go there directly.”

Freya was excited. “Okay, should we dress formally?”

“Just formal wear will do.” Radley stared at Freya’s excited face. “But aren’t you concerned about your family’s conflict with the Vincents? They were a notorious mafia in Iternia in the past.”

Freya smiled. “It’s just a minor conflict that has been blown out of proportion.”

Radley smiled for a moment. “Since I’m taking you there, as a favor, I would like to know more about this conflict.”

Freya thought for a moment. “It’s nothing too complicated. The son of the Vincent family, Soli Vincent, was interested in me. However, his way of showing interest was too aggressive, and my brother ended up beating him.”

At that time, the Vincent family had just arrived in Caltun from Iternia. Although her brother’s beating wasn’t hard, Soli happened to fall and hit his head, and the injury nearly killed him.

Freya recounted the incident.

Radley frowned slightly. The only son of the Vincent family almost died, and you call that a small

conflict?

Freya smiled brilliantly. “Well, it was an accident. Although the Vincent family still has a grudge, we’re all in Caltun. So, they won’t say anything even if I go to the banquet.”

Radley went silent for a few seconds as he didn’t expect Freya to be that thick-skinned.

Now that he had Freya’s consent, he got up and planned to leave.

As Freya escorted him for two steps to the door, Radley turned and looked at her wrist.

“That’s a nice bracelet.”

“Thank you. It is a gift from Edward,” Freya said casually.

Radley’s eyes dummed slightly. “Freya, Edward is not a child anymore.”
