My Ex-wife's Hidden Personalities

Chapter 460 Why Did You Lie to Me? 

Freya paused momentarily, then advised, “Brisa, you can melt the chocolate by heating it in a bowl over simmering water. If that doesn’t work, ask the chef for a sous-vide cooker. You might have one at home, especially since you often whip up delicious desserts.”

Brisa remained silent, a hint of stubbornness in her expression.

Freya continued, “By the way, when you melt it over simmering water, ensure the water doesn’t get too hot. Around 140 degrees Fahrenheit should do the trick!”

Only then did Brisa look at Freya and ask, “Do you know how?”

A sly grin appeared on Freya’s face. “My culinary talents are on par with my medical knowledge, but I don’t always flaunt them.”

While these statements might sound like boasting when uttered by others, her confidence was well- founded, as she had the skills to match her claims.

After some contemplation, Brisa finally relented, saying, “Okay, please teach me.”

Freya nodded in response. “Have you tried looking up any online tutorials for this?”

“I did ask Inken, and he suggested melting the chocolate, baking cookies, and drizzling the melted chocolate on top.”

After hearing the straightforward approach, Freya couldn’t help but narrow her eyes as she asked, “I’d be happy to show you, but first, you’ll have to tell me who these chocolate cookies are intended for.”

Brisa’s face reddened slightly, and she bashfully tapped the nearby kitchen counter. “It’s for that guy, the one beside Radley.”

“Connor West?” Freya’s eyes widened, and she furrowed her brow, fixing her gaze on Brisa. “You’ve been going out quite frequently lately. Are you seeing him?”

Brisa gritted her teeth and said, “I’ve already told you, so don’t worry about it so much!”

Freya sighed and accompanied her to the grocery store to buy the necessary ingredients. As they shopped, she couldn’t help but feel somewhat bewildered by Brisa’s seriousness.

As the young miss of the Davis Family, Brisa had a father who served as one of the ministers in Capitael. While she cherished her freedom, her father’s strict reputation loomed over her. Freya sensed that any potential relationship between Brisa and Connor would likely face significant obstacles.

Freya decided not to press the issue and spent the morning making chocolate cookies with Brisa. At noon, Brisa finally baked the most perfect chocolate cookies she had ever made, with Freya providing strict supervision.

Brisa then served a portion to Isabella, who seemed surprised. “Are these cookies?”

Brisa sneered and retorted, “Of course, what else should they look like if not cookies?”

The three of them chatted for a while, and then Braxton called, saying he wouldn’t be returning for lunch. Isabella answered the call, assuring him, “Okay, honey. I’ll have someone deliver your meal.

Freya couldn’t help but click her tongue at Isabella’s sweet and gentle demeanor while Brisa looked disgusted.

Before ending the call, Isabella urgently reminded Braxton, “Don’t forget what I told you on WhatsApp. Danna, that b*tch is back and instigating Darrin to bully Freya!”

Freya chuckled on the side.

At noon, Sylvia also joined them downstairs for lunch.

The four of them had lunch, and as they wrapped up the meal, Freya announced her plan to take a short nap.

Brisa, however, couldn’t resist making an unsolicited remark. “Napping right after eating? Be careful not to gain as much weight as a pig.”

Returning to her room, Freya contemplated visiting Hannah today. However, her plans had to be postponed due to Brisa’s matter taking up her time. Since tomorrow was Sunday, she could catch up with Hannah then.

After a quick wash, Freya was just about to nap when her phone rang. She picked it up, a hint of surprise in her voice. “Well, well, speak of the devil,” she answered the phone with a smile. “Hello, Hannah.”

There were a few heavy breaths on the other end of the line. “Freya.”

Freya noticed that Hannah had stopped addressing her as “Miss Freya,” which was unusual. “What’s wrong. Hannah? Is there something going on?”

Hannah’s voice was hoarse. “We’ve known each other for so long. Tell me the truth now. Does the Kaufmann Group have any financial problems?

Freya was taken aback. She lowered her gaze, realizing she had lied to her about this matter. However, if she didn’t do this, Hannah would never be able to get rid of Baxter.

She hesitated briefly while Hannah’s anger mounted on the other end of the line. “Hannah, why did you lie to me, especially when I trusted you so much? Do you how much I’ve been struggling recently? I’ve never turned to you for help before. What do you take me for?”

Freya sighed, saying, “Hannah, I had my reasons.”

Hannah’s voice grew sharper. “Reasons? Don’t treat me like a fool! I’ve heard rumors that the Kaufmann Group’s finances are perfectly stable!”

Freya frowned and asked, “Who told you that?” She knew Hannah’s knowledge of the Kaufmann Group’s financial health was limited because she rarely paid attention to such matters. It seemed unlikely that Hannah had gained this insight overnight.

Hannah’s voice took on an edge. “It’s Melodie, or should I say, Danna Delgado.”

A sudden fear gripped Freya’s heart. “You’ve seen her? Hannah, you must stay away from her. You know what kind of person she is. This time, she must have ulterior motives for returning under a different name!”

“You’re right; she’s not a good person,” Hannah admitted. “But what about you? Why did you lie to me?”

Freya took a deep breath, unsure whether to reveal the truth to Hannah. She feared Hannah’s rebellious. nature might resurface. Yet, Hannah’s determination to be with Baxter outweighed Freya’s doubts.

However, Hannah’s following words took Freya by surprise.

“So, are you concerned I’m taking too much money from the Monaghan family?”

Freya’s expression turned cold. “Why would you even think that?”

“Well, what else should I think? You’re about to marry Radley and become a part of the Monaghan family. Perhaps your true motives are starting to show!” Hannah accused, “I gave you all my jewelry as

a sincere. gesture, and you still deceived me, didn’t you?”

Freya gritted her teeth and said, “Believe what you will!” She wasn’t going to back down now. She’d rather endure Hannah’s resentment because of the genuine friendship they once shared.

“I won’t borrow money from you anymore, but please return my jewelry!”

Freya closed her eyes and sighed deeply. “I’m sorry, no

“Freya Kaufmann!” Hannah’s disbelieving voice pained Freya.

“You’ll understand later.” Freya pursed her lips and ended the call. After hanging up, her phone chimed with a WhatsApp notification. She opened it and saw a message from Hannah.

‘From the start, the Kaufmann Group was never in a financial crisis, was it? You just wanted my jewelry, didn’t you?”

Freya realized that trying to explain herself now would be futile. She replied, ‘Yes. After all, it wasn’t entirely a lie.

‘You don’t plan on returning my jewelry, do you?”

Freya pursed her lips and typed a ‘No’ She knew that reasoning with Hannah wouldn’t work at this point and massaged her temples, thinking, Danna, that b*tch never gives up.

She considered warning Hannah about Danna’s deceitfulness, given that Hannah was alone now and likely vulnerable. Just as she was about to send the message, a system notification popped up.

“The other party has blocked you…”

Freya let out a heavy sigh and immediately called Radley. She explained Hannah’s situation and furrowed her brow. “Radley, Hannah is in a vulnerable state right now, and it’s apparent she needs

financial Also, you must ensure those watching over her near Clearwater Lane are vigilant.”

She continued, “It’s not just Jamie we must be wary of. Danna reaching out to Hannah indicates something more significant-Danna has been monitoring both the Monaghan and Kaufmann families!”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
