My Ex-wife's Hidden Personalities

Chapter 451 Embarrassing and Not Well Thought Out 

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and there was still no resolution regarding the plagiarism allegations involving Wonder Aroma and Fragrance Lab. However, those who had watched the fragrance blending program featuring Freya and Helga had a good understanding of Helga’s character, and most of them believed that Freya had not plagiarized; instead, Helga was causing trouble.

Freya’s reputation online was excellent now. After all, the drugs she had developed had already saved many lives. Moreover, Freya did not include research and development costs in the upfront costs of the drugs. In addition, she donated all her earnings from her usual live stream, which had now reached over a billion. This also reflected positively on her character. However, there was still a need for clarification before the official start of the press conference.

Freya had already contacted Helga several times, and the latter’s attitude remained unwavering, insisting that Wild Wood was a copy of her Bitter Blossom formula.

In an attempt to get to the bottom of things, Freya engaged in further conversations with Helga, asking about the emotions involved in making Bitter Blossom. Helga’s response each time was curt: “I’ve forgotten”

In the Wonder Aroma Fragrance Department, the mood among the perfumers had been rather low recently. Wonder Aroma’s upcoming product launch was initially significant, but with Fragrance Lab stirring up trouble by accusing them of plagiarism, concerns about Wonder Aroma’s brand future arose.

Inside the office of the department director, Freya stared at her phone. She had just tried calling Helga once again, but this time, Helga didn’t answer.

Furrowing her brow, Freya realized that even though the online community supported Wonder Aroma, the legal aspect required concrete evidence. Helga had, up until now, only raised public opinion issues by claiming that Freya had copied Fragrance Lab’s perfume formula.

Once Wild Wood officially entered the market. Helga might very well use this as the basis for a lawsuit, which would pose a significant problem. Furthermore, Freya didn’t want to delay the press conference.

Since she couldn’t reach Helga, she had to find an alternative solution-directly reaching out to the person who had given Helga the confidence to make these accusations.

Freya sat in her office, quickly opening her computer to start investigating the Donnelly Group.

She had a good understanding of the Donnelly Group. Originally based in Capitael, they had recognized the business opportunities in Caltun since their expansion to this region. They had long wanted to relocate their headquarters to Caltun, but the Monaghan Group and the Kaufmann Group consistently overshadowed them. As a result, within the Caltun business circle, the Donnelly Group ranked third, but their strength couldn’t be underestimated. After all, it was still a subsidiary company

Freya frowned, as she was well-acquainted with the Donnelly Group, but she didn’t know the people in the Donnelly family.

She began her investigation, and out of all the details, the most crucial was the current head of the Donnelly Group. This person was Darrin, who was approaching fifty years of age. He had no children of his own, so his brothers were also eyeing the Donnelly Group as a potential inheritance. In recent years, his nephews often tried to get close to Darrin, offering their assistance and loyalty.

Freya squinted her eyes as she examined Darrin’s location. He’s in Caltun right now?!

After researching all the available information, she started to piece things together.

Darrin’s presence in Caltun was related to the upcoming annual meeting of the Donnelly Group. This year’s annual meeting was taking place at the Caltun subsidiary, which clearly indicated Darrin’s ambitions. for Caltun. Coupled with the situation involving Helga, Freya pursed her lips, beginning to have a clearer. understanding of the situation.

After shutting down her computer, Freya went up to the top floor and entered Radley’s office, where she shared the results of her investigation.

Freya furrowed her brow and said, “My only question is why Donnelly would be so foolish. Attacking a perfume brand under the Monaghan Group wouldn’t significantly affect the Monaghan Group and the Kaufmann Group as a whole.”

If Darrin truly intended to capture Caltun’s market, he should have employed more mature and strategic tactics. It was embarrassing and not well thought out.

Radley’s eyes glistened with depth as he responded, “Connor’s investigation also points to Darrin. He has had his sights on Caltun for years, shifting the Donnelly family’s focus here, indicating his ambitions for dominance. However, his motive this time remains uncertain.”

Freya shared the same perspective, saying, “We need to resolve the issue with Wild Wood. I’d like to meet Darrin in person.”

Radley nodded in agreement. The Donnelly Group’s annual meeting invitation has been left at the general secretariat’s office. It’s the day after tomorrow. We’ll go together.”

Freya acknowledged the plan, and with her work at Wonder Aroma wrapped up, she had some free time. She hung out in Radley’s office.

As Radley handled his official duties, Freya took his tablet, sat on the nearby couch, and found a drama to watch.

After closing his documents, Radley glanced up and saw Freya on the couch, hugging the tablet, her eyes half-closed.

Time became tranquil. Despite the numerous dangers and unresolved issues outside, at that moment, it felt like their souls had found a sanctuary, and he found peace in knowing she was there.

Freya stayed in Radley’s office until it was time to leave. She inquired about Hannah’s situation.

Hannah still hadn’t contacted her family, and this time, the wait was longer than before.

Freya furrowed her brow and said, “I’ve already instructed Melissa not to provide Hannah with any financial support. I don’t think Baxter can hold out much longer.”

Radley nodded and responded, “I’ve also informed our family about it.”

“Your mother dotes on Hannah. I worry she might…”

“She won’t.” Radley’s tone was calm. “This time, she’s even more determined than I am.”

After all, making the wrong move at this stage could have a lifelong impact on Hannah.

At the end of the workday, Radley escorted Freya back to the Kaufmann Residence.

Upon returning home, Freya first checked Isabella’s pulse, with Sylvia watching.

“Frey, when are you going to bring Jolly back?”

Freya chuckled. “You miss the little guy? I’ll bring him over another day then.”

Sylvia gave her a sly look. “Of course, I want to see him. She’s my grandson, after all. But speaking of it, since you and Radley are planning to remarry, will Jolly’s surname change back to Monaghan?”

Jolly’s full name was Jovius Kaufmann, and changing it to Jovius Monaghan was an option. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Freya thought for a moment and said, “No, we won’t change it.”

Sometime after examining Isabella’s pulse, Braxton returned from the company.

After Braxton reassigned Ayden to a different position, Jamie became his assistant, and since Jamie’s true identity was exposed, Braxton had become exceptionally cautious in selecting his staff. Although several assistants were by his side, he couldn’t completely let his guard down and preferred to handle some tasks. himself.

After the family had dinner and moved to the living room for a chat, Freya told Braxton about the Wild Wood situation.

“Do you know what kind of person Darrin Donnelly is, Brax?”

As the CEO of the Kaufmann Group, Braxton had certainly met Darrin.

“He appears rather ordinary, even one might say unattractive, but he’s shrewd, ruthless in his tactics, and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. He’s extremely profit-oriented, Braxton offered his assessment. Afterward, he furrowed his brow and continued. “I’ve also seen this situation online. To be honest, it doesn’t seem like Darrin’s style. If he were involved, he wouldn’t make it so easy to trace back to him, and he wouldn’t leave such obvious evidence. These methods seem a bit too juvenile for him.”
