NovelBookChapter 1045: Freya had only made one personal request in her prenup with Kristian: that she wouldn't reveal her identity, family background, or social circle.

"Kids-you know, the ones who lie, cheat, and scam their way through life. Say one more word, and I swear, this cup's going straight in your face." The two women were stunned into silence, their eyes fuming as they glared at Freya.
Freya met their stares without flinching, her calm demeanor suddenly commanding.
"Letreintroduce myself," she said, her voice steady. "I'm Freya Briggs. My father is the chairman of Briggs Group. My grandfather chairs Alvarez Group." She didn't need to mention Anita International Group.
"And the chairman of Lambert Group is her future father-in-law," Kendra added coolly.
"You..." The two women froze in place.
"Still think I needed to scam anyone for a divorce settlement?" Freya's words hit like a slap.

"I'm not slandering anyone," Ellis said smoothly. “But if you two don't m make apologize to Freya, Ximo make sure these fun little secrets are all over the internet. I'll even buy a..." "A few trending slots to give them a boost. By tonight, your husbands will know everything." "Ellis! How dare you smear us like this?!" one woman shrieked.
"Look at the kind of son you've raised!" The two were practically shaking, caught between rage and fear.
Ellis glanced down at his watch, cool and detached. "You've got threem minutes If you don't apologize by En then, I'll follow through on my word."
Their faces turned beet red. They wanted to keep lashing out, but the thought of their secrets going public made them fall silent. If it trended online, it wouldn't just ruin their reputations—it could tank their family businesses too.
