Carlos felt a wave of relief when he saw the smile return to Freya’s face.

He knewst night’s incident had nothing to do with her. Yana, feeling sorry for Skr, had said some harsh words to Freya.

He didn’t want Freya to think they were favoring their biological daughter andpletely ignoring her–after all, she had been bpart /bof bthe /bbfamily /bbfor /bbso /b

many years.

He hoped they could all get along peacefully, without any conflicts. After all, they were both their daughters–being caught in the middle was truly difficult.

Carlos sighed softly.

Freya’s mood visibly lifted. She went out and splurged wildly using the card Carlos had given her. After the shopping spree, she was bin /ban beven /bbbetter /bmood.

That evening, she gathered a few close male friends, plus some other friends who hadn’t fallen out with her, and headed to a bar for drinks.

Suddenly, one of the guys spoke up, “Freya, I heard the new younger sister who just came back bto /byour family is really beautiful?”

“Seriously, she’s gorgeous, no joke. I followed my parents therest time,” said Ryanb, /banother guy. Then he clicked his tongue and addedb, /bb“/bPatrick, byou /breally missed out for not going.”

A girl who had attended the party the night before sneered, “What good is being pretty? You all don’t know–she’s been to jail beforeb, /band she’s violent as

hell.”

“Wait, what?” Ryan’s eyes widened in disbelief. “No way. She looks so well–behaved. How could she be a fighter and a convict?”

“It’s true. She even admitted it herself.”

“Even a jade can have ws – let alone people,” Patrick took a sip of his drink, expression serious. “But she’s pretty formidable. You guys know that capsule she sells? it alone made thepany, which the Lambert family had been sinking money into for years, rake in billions.”

“Patrick, why do you keep praising her? Don’t you know how badly she bullied Freya?” said Ryan.

He had always liked Freya. He had confessed to her before but was rejected. Now hearing she’d been bullied, his temper red immediately.

“Can’t believe she’s such a snake in the grass,”ined Ryan/ “Freya, tell me how she bullied you.”

“It’s not what you think. I wasn’t bullied,” Freya said, though her eyes quickly reddened. She looked down, clearly hurt.

Ryan’s heart ached. “Freya, don’t be afraid. Tell me I’ll make sure she gets what she deservesb./bb” /b

Freya sighed deeply, then exaggerated the events of the past days. At the end, she added, “But it’s not really her fault. She’s been through so much outside. It’s normal she dislikes me.”

“She was swapped at birth–that’s not on you. Don’t carry the guilt,” said Ryan.

Patrick put down his ss, looking iserious/i. “If what you say is true, your parents really like her now. And with her recent bachievements/bb, /bbyou’re /bbin /btrouble.”

Freya’s expression shifted. “What do you mean?

“She’s already been epted into thepany and made some progress. What’s the bnext /bstep?” added Patrick.

The hidden word was clear. The next step for Skr was to join Lambert Group. Freya bit her lip.

bFreya /bcouldn’t sit still anymore. “bI /bhave something to do. I’ll head back first, You guys go ahead, the bill’s on meb. /b

b“/bbDad/bb,/bb” /bshe said softly.

Carlos looked up, smiling as he gestured toward the sofa. “You’re back. Have a seat.”

She settled onto the sofa beside him. “Dad, I feel like sitting around doing nothing at home makes me lookzy and unambitiousb./bb” /b

b“/bWhat do you mean?” Carlos frowned. “Did someone say something to you?”

“No one said anything,” Freya shook her head. “I see Skr leaves early andes homete every day, working hard for the bpany/b. And brothers are busy with their own careers, so busy they hardly see each other all year.”

“But me, I feel like I’m doing nothing.” Freya looked downcast. “Dad, I want bto /bcontribute to the family, just like Skrb./bb” /b

Carlos supported her desire but worried she might not hold up. “Your idea is good, but are you sure iyou /ican handle the hardshipsb?/bb” /b

He knew it well. Running apany isn’t just talk. One wrong move, and the whole thing could copse.

As the CEO, the countless daily problems aren’t like on TV–just reading reports and dining at fancy restaurants.

“I know, Dad. Don’t worry. I won’t let you down,” Freya nodded.

“Alright, since you’re confident, I won’t say more.” Carlos smiled warmly. “What kind ofpany do you want to start?”

“I want Mom’s designpany,” Freya said, revealing what she’d long decided. “I studied art, so a designpany fits my background and will be easier to manage.”

Without hesitation, Carlos agreed. “Okay, I’ll talk to your mother about it tonight.”

“Thanks, Dad,” with her goal in sight, Freya couldn’t help but smile.

‘Skr, I’ll build mypany bigger than yours yet. I want Mom and Dad to see who their most outstanding daughter really is,‘ she told herself.

The next day, Freya received thepany’s equity transfer documents.

“Thanks, Mom,” she gave Yana a smile.

Yana waved her hand. “Just take over and work hard. the Lambert family may be big, but if you mess up, people will justugh at you.”

Freya nodded resolutely. “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll make sure to seed.”

Yana nodded, and then turned to Skr. “Skr, I heard you’re developing CardioShield capsule next?”

When Carlos was illb, /bYana bought one toob, /bcosting a few millions per capsule.

Though expensive, they truly worked for heart conditions, so there was strong demand despite the price.

Now that Skr was working on the capsuleb, /bshe worried it might cause trouble.

Skr smiled. “Don’t worry, Mom. Nothing will happen.”

“As long as you know what you’re doingb. /bbIf /banything bes /bup, just tell usb,/bb” /badded Yana.

“Got it.”

Freya couldn’t help rolling her eyes in her heart. The capsule had such a big reputation, and Skr dared to me overestimating herself.

She didn’t even need to intervene–she could just watch Skr bring about her own downfall

Skr met her mocking gaze with an indifferent expression.

After breakfast, Freya went to thepany.

She was nning how to grow it bigger and stronger when she saw a news report that shattered her mood.
