“Of course, I have something to say. To be honest, you may look decent, but you have neither family background nor capability. Louis had to marry you it’s really wronged. I know that Mr. Edward arranged the marriage to repay a debt of gratitude, but after all these years, you haven’t given him a child or helped him in his career. All you do is shop and play nothing else you do, do you not feel even a little ashamed?”
Freya cut her off. “May I ask, who exactly are you to Louis?”
Victoria lifted her chin proudly. “Louis and I grew up together. He treats me exceptionally well. If it weren’t for you, we would have been together long ago.”
Freya searched her memory for a long time but found nothing related to Victoria.
“But I’ve never even heard of you?”
“Isn’t this nonsense, Do you think Louis would ever mention me in front of you?”
Oh. If she really is his childhood friend, it makes sense that Louis wouldn’t bring her up. First, they aren’t close, and second, he isn’t the type to gossip.
Freya nodded. “Alright, so what’s your point in coming to me?”
“Louis is in a difficult situation right now he need help. How can you continue holding him back? My father has agreed that if Louis and I get married, he will help him rebuild his career. So, you should divorce him!”
“If Louis wants a divorce, he can come and tell me himself. There’s no need for you to relay the message. I’m not the type to cling onto someone, or is this just your own wishful thinking?”
Victoria glared at Freya with disdain.
“Louis would never do something so disgraceful. He obviously doesn’t have the heart to say it, so you should be the one to take the initiative, you’ve spent so much of his money and never contributed anything to him, he has never made things difficult for you. Now that he’s in trouble and you can’t do anything to help, shouldn’t you at least stop being a burden? If you propose the divorce, he’ll just go along with it, and it’ll save everyone from embarrassment.”
“So this is Louis idea?” Freya catching the key point, and confirmed again.
“This is my idea!” Victoria grew impatient. “Why don’t you get it? Louis isn’t the type to do this himself. We need to take the initiative to help hirn! If you divorce him first, then I can marry him, and only then will my father help him!”
Freya, however, simply shook her head.
“If this were truly Louis’s decision, I would have no problem with it. But if it’s only your idea, then let me ask you, before I married Louis, were the two of you ever in a relationship? Did he love you?”
Victoria had just taken a sip of water stiffened. “That doesn’t matter. He’s not good at expressing himself. Besides, he doesn’t love you. I can help him, whereas you are nothing but dead weight. I’m a hundred times better suited for him than you are.”
“You’re wrong.” Freya shook her head again. “Maybe I don’t know Louis very well, but I do know that he would never accept your father’s help so easily, especially not when it comes with the condition of marrying you. You think convincing your father to help him is a good thing, but you haven’t considered that if Louis rebuilds his career through your father’s support, how will he ever establish his own standing again? He will forever be known as a man who relied on a woman to succeed.”
