Chapter 336 Becoming Her Assistant

Radley’s gaze intensified as he observed Freya. His voice lowered to a soothing, mellow tone. “Do you want to keep her here?”

Freya nodded firmly. “Leah is doing this for me. Without her, today would have been much harder.”

“I’ll speak to the organizing committee about this,” Radley assured her. “They’ve already tarnished your reputation, so they should offer you compensation. Leah bears no malicious. intentions.”

Freya added, “They mentioned releasing an official statement. The previous live broadcast. has already aired, and I hope there won’t be any negative comments about Leah circulating

online.”

“Sure,” he replied in a gentle tone.

She pursed her lips. Whether it was the incident with the silver chain sea snake from yesterday or today’s events, Radley always seemed to arrive just in time to help her.

A protective barrier around Freya’s heart was slowly being pried open.

She gazed at Radley for an extended moment and then chose to set aside those thoughts.

Now wasn’t the time to dwell on this matter; she needed to complete the competition before addressing it.

Freya took Leah back to Villa No. 4.

The day’s events had left everyone in shock, and all the contestants needed time to process everything. The mood among everyone was somber.

On the third floor, inside Freya’s room, Leah sat on a chair.

Encouraged by Freya’s gentle voice, Leah began to recount the complex dynamics of her relationship with Helga.

While their familial ties were genuine, Helga treated Leah as anything but human.

Listening to her story, Freya felt a twinge of heartache. Leah had endured years ensnared in Helga’s psychological manipulations.

“I thought that since she helped my mother with medical expenses, I should tolerate her most of the time. But…” Leah gritted her teeth. She no longer wished to be at Helga’s beck and call, especially when she considered Freya a genuinely good person, someone she was
