Chapter 78 An Absurd Demand

Nadine slapped Freya so hard that there was a bright red mark left on Freya’s cheek.

I’m going to make her pay for all the humiliation I suffered a few days ago at the construction site!

“Freya!” Annie and Frank hurried over to Freya’s side and shielded her from Nadine.

“Why are you giving me that look?”

Nadine spotted that Freya was glaring at her. She pointed at Freya and fumed, “You foolish wench! Just because you’ve managed to accomplish a few things doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want! You’ve always been a nobody to me, and you’ll always be one even after this. You better stop looking at me that way. Otherwise, I swear I’ll hit you again!”

“Nadine, what is wrong with you? Why are you hitting Freya?!”

As she saw that most of the Harrison family members had no intention of helping them, Annie couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.

“Why can’t I?”

Nadine jutted her chin out haughtily. “She’s just a nobody to me. I don’t see anything wrong with me hitting a nobody.”

“I’m going to rip you to shreds!”

Freya was so infuriated by Nadine’s words that she tried to rush at the lady.

However, her parents managed to hold her back. With only three of them against the entire Harrison family, they wouldn’t be able to leave the place in one piece if Freya were to cause any wounds on Nadine’s body that day.

Moreover, they had lost strong backing since Lucian was most likely arrested by then.

Dax gave a scoff in disdain. “Freya, you and your parents have been extremely ignorant and arrogant when you have Lucian around. You completely disregarded the Harrison family, and I was greatly disappointed by that. Initially, I should give your family a punishment for your disrespectful actions. However, I’ll offer you a chance now. Just hand over all of the profit you receive from the project to the Harrison family, and I’ll let you continue to be in charge of the project relating to the Infernal Group.”

He wants all of the profit from the project! What an absurd demand?!That’s the same as asking me to work for him free of charge!

Freya sneered, “You have no sense of shame, Dax Harrison! Don’t even think that I’ll hand over the project to you! After what you did to me and Lucian, I’d rather offer the project to an outsider

than let anyone from the Harrison family have it!”

“You b*tch! I should teach you a lesson!”

Calvin and Felix strode toward Freya. They pushed Annie and Frank aside and shoved Freya onto the floor. Then, they started kicking Freya forcefully.

Annie tried to pull one of the men away but failed since she was physically weaker. Eventually, she hunched over Freya’s body and cried aloud, “Just hit me! Stop hitting my daughter!”

On the other hand, Frank knelt down before Dax and said, “Dad, please tell them to stop hitting Fay. She just recovered from her illness recently.”

“Mom, I’m alright.” Freya had an icy look in her eyes as she stared at the members of the Harrison family. “I won’t hand over the project even if you guys beat me to death! You can kill me if that’s what you want to do!”

“It seems your stubbornness knows no end.”

Aaron and Hugo exchanged a glance. Then, Aaron threatened, “We’ll try to harm your daughter over and over again until you’re willing to accept our terms. Heh! Lucian will be thrown into jail soon. You won’t be able to ask for help from the Grim Reapers. Would you be able to refuse our demands by then?”

Freya was a little shaken after hearing Aaron’s words.

I might not mind sacrificing myself in such situations. However, I couldn’t bear the thought of Minnie being in danger…

Freya fell silent as she sat on the floor with a torn expression on her face.

Dax noticed the faint hint of fear in Freya’s eyes. He chuckled in delight. “Freya, you should think about it carefully and make a wise decision.”

“Freya, just give them the profit.”

Annie placed her arms around Freya and said dejectedly, “We don’t need that money. It’s alright as long as we have enough to sustain ourselves and raise Minnie well. Now that Lucian’s been arrested, we’re the only ones left to protect Minnie!”

The corners of Freya’s eyes had turned red, yet Freya fiercely held back her tears.

“That b*stard! He promised that he would stay and protect Minnie. Yet, he ended up…” Freya said through clenched teeth.

“Hah!” Nadine walked up to Freya and stared down at her with a conceited look in her eyes. “Freya, do you remember what you did to me a few days ago at the construction site? I want you

2/4

to bow to me now and apologize. Otherwise, I’ll harm your daughter instead. Get on your knees and beg for my mercy if you want her to be safe!”

Freya’s eyes blazed with fury and hatred as she glared at Nadine.

Nadine leaned forward and laughed hysterically. “I bet you want very badly to choke me to death right now! Hahaha! I like that look in your eyes. That look of hatred and despair gives me the greatest pleasure every time!”

“Is that right?”

A deep, gravelly voice of a man came from behind the door. “I should just slap you so many times that you wouldn’t be able to utter a word. Also, I’m going to have to break those legs.”

Everyone turned their eyes to the door and saw Lucian walk in with big, steady steps the next instant.

There was a dark, threatening aura about the man. Almost everyone could feel a drastic drop in temperature in the room upon seeing the cold, murderous look in Lucian’s eyes.

“It’s Lucian…”

The Harrison family members were caught off guard. They were very certain that Lucian would have been apprehended by the police.

As for Freya, tears brimmed over her eyes the minute she saw Lucian entering through the door. She felt a wave of relief wash over her almost instantaneously.

“Lucian! Don’t come near me! What do you think you’re doing?”

As soon as she noticed that Lucian was walking toward her, Nadine couldn’t help shuddering all

over.

He looks so scary!

“How dare you lay your hands on my woman?”

Without any signs of hesitation, Lucian caught Nadine by the throat. Then, he started slapping Nadine across the face nonstop. Soon enough, Nadine’s cheeks were red and swollen. There was even blood oozing from the corners of her mouth.

I don’t usually choose to use violence against women. However, it’s an entirely different matter if Freya is involved in it. I won’t let anyone who’s hurt Freya get away unpunished.

“Stop! Help me!” Nadine sobbed and screamed for help.

Aaron and Roxanne were shocked to see Lucian beating their daughter up mercilessly. They

Aaron and Roxanne were shocked to see Lucian beating their daughter up mercilessly. They

quickly went up to the pair to pull them apart. Unfortunately, they couldn’t overpower the man. Instead, Lucian let go of Nadine and gave her parents each a slap in their faces as well.

“I guess it’s your turn now.”

Lucian fixed a deadly gaze at Calvin’s and Felix’s legs. “The two of you kicked Freya just now, right? In that case, you two should pay the price with your legs as well.”
