FREYA'S POV

Sitting at this dining table made me realised how rude I've become since I was told that I would be the one who will take over the family business when I turned to a suitable age. Watching my parents ... my own grandmother ... my uncle and my aunt ... even my cousins treating me this way.

How did I became so 'lucky'?

"Freya, I was informed by my children that you decided to have your ways with their company. May I know the reason why you make the call?" My uncle decided to show his fangs already? That's bold of him.

"I was merely act appropriately to address the issues that might bring shame to our family. They should understand why. Why don't you asked them? Better yet ... do the investigation yourself." My uncle was speechless at how I respond to him. He turned to his children, warning them to never embarrass him.

"Freya, my dear. How could you treat your own cousin that way? Their company is booming and what you've done has not only reflected on the group but also out distinguish name. What do you have to say for yourself?" This time my grandmother decided to intervene.

She has always favoured my cousins since they were born. Even Daphne doesn't get much attention except when she decided to marry Lily's brother. I noticed how uncomfortable Daphne has become. I smiled.

"Like I said before, all I did was to make sure that I don't have to fix their mess in the future. And I hope ... what I've done will make them realised how small they are in my eyes." I glared at my cousins who avoided eye contact.

This dinner only made things worse between us. Why do I have to be here even? They obviously doesn't like my presence here. Hell, even my own parents didn't even tried to defend me!

"You're too young to know what is right and what is wrong in the business world. You have no experience whatsoever. Sure, your grandfather did taught you a few things before his passing but your cousins has more experience and even graduated from a top university before building their own company. Do you really thing you can do whatever you like just because you're going to inherit the group?" I never knew my grandmother could be such a bitch.

"Please stop accusing my fiancée of causing your misfortune. This has nothing to do with Freya. You invited this trouble yourself. She's only protected the legacy that was given to her by her grandfather." Damon really stepped up this time!

And here I thought he's just a merely weak boy who only does thing what his parents told him to.

"Know your place. Who do you think you are speaking to my mother like that?" And like I had predicted, he just couldn't fight back my uncle's menacing aura. He needs to be stronger if he really wants to be my husband.

Unlike someone in this dining table, she has been unaffected by this awkward conversation at all. Even though everyone has given her a hard time, she still composed herself and never even reacted to any of their agenda. I'm impressed.

"That's enough, uncle. He spoke out of turn but he only did it to defend me. Unlike some people I know ... they choose to shut their mouth. How shameful." My parents ignored me and continued to eat their dinner.

"This has been quite a dinner. Let's not continue this kind of act in front of my son. He's still young and every single adult on this table shamelessly teaching him how to be arrogant. If you have anything to say about business wise, please come to my office first thing tomorrow. I'll be gladly to talk it out with you. And as for you three. What Freya did to your company is what I call a way to vanishing unwanted attention to our family." Daphne suddenly stabbed the table with her fork.
