Chapter 199 She Discovers Her Value.
The most effective way to avoid arousing Nathaniel’s suspicion was to maintain a consistent silence.
Mandy’s sudden conversation with Freya took her by surprise, causing her to lift her head in confusion and glance at Nathaniel.
Nathaniel was engrossed in peeling shrimp for Freya, arranging the peeled meat neatly on her plate.
He had behaved somewhat recklessly in the car earlier, and felt a twinge of remorse.
Noticing Freya’s gaze, he picked up a nearby hot towel to clean his hands. “This is your design. It has not connection with the company, so you’re free to do as you please with it
Freya nodded, finally turning her attention to Mandy, ready to speak.
Nathaniel interjected, “However, design work requires a significant amount of time and energy. I suggest you compensate Ms. Gomez privately, Ms. Mandy. We’ll also provide her with payment.”
“So, we can jointly purchase Ms. Gomez’s draft. I’ll contribute five million dollars, and you can decide your contribution.”

Sawyer had transferred all his shares in Andala Corp to Freya as a gesture of goodwill.

Nathaniel had also added five million dollars. How could Mandy compete with that in front of Freya?

Nathaniel smiled. “Excellent! Let’s proceed with that arrangement!”

and then departed.
Freya felt somewhat relieved after a brief rest. She hadn’t lost anything, and Nathaniel had even gifted her an additional five million dollars.
Nathaniel would likely never suspect that she was the mastermind behind everything.
Her efforts had not been wasted. Born and raised in Saeville, her late father often spoke of the East Saeville project, expressing his desire to contribute to his hometown.
Freya rose to leave, but the earlier incident in the car
She hadn’t anticipated Nathaniel’s ruthlessness. Her legs felt weak, and ached as she stood.
Nathaniel supported her, whispering. “Be careful!”
Freya attempted to pull away, but his grip was firm and unyielding.
