“The vice dean’s wife,” Freya replied calmly.
A hint of helpless bitterness curled up at the corner of her lips.
In this matter, she was the victim, but she ended up becoming the target of revenge.
The human heart is truly complicated and dark.
“Have you figured out how to handle it?” Elijah asked.
His face was gloomy, constantly expressing his dissatisfaction with this matter.
They didn’t show remorse, but instead wanted revenge.
From this incident, it was clear that the human heart had become corrupt, and there was no need to show mercy.
Seeing Freya’s silence, he took the opportunity to suggest, “Let me handle it for you.”
Freya raised her gaze to look at him, her black curly eyelashes fluttering gently. After a moment of silence, she said, “You handle the matters outside the institute, and I’ll handle the matters inside.”
Elijah fell silent. He also wanted to help her with the matters inside the institute.
Judging from her hesitant expression, she probably wouldn’t be resolute.
“Freya…”
“I didn’t interfere with your work, and I hope you won’t interfere too much with mine,” Freya said.
It wasn’t that Freya lacked ruthlessness, but Wesley Donaldson had said that Neo Miller wasn’t a bad person at heart. In this incident, it was mainly the vice dean’s family causing trouble.
If Neo Miller was a smart person and had ulterior motives, he wouldn’t have been manipulated in the first place.
After all, Freya was going to take over the dean’s position in the future.
For the sake of his own future, he knew that offending her wouldn’t bring any benefits.
Furthermore, if he succeeded, whether she was seriously injured or dead, his actions would be enough to send him to jail.
Not to mention his career.
From this incident, it was clear that he wasn’t a deeply scheming person.
He couldn’t distinguish between pros and cons.
It also confirmed Wesley Donaldson’s statement about his simple-mindedness.
She wanted to develop her work in the institute, and she needed at least one or two trusted aides by her side.
She intended to observe Neo Miller.
It was also giving him a chance to change.
Elijah stared at her for several seconds.
In the end, he didn’t say anything.
In a fit of anger, he walked away.
Freya didn’t chase after him.
When it came to work matters, she didn’t want to make any concessions just because Elijah was her husband.
It was like how she never asked about the new projects or the people hired in Elijah’s company because she didn’t understand them and couldn’t give proper advice.
Similarly, Elijah didn’t know the nature of her work, so what he thought was good for her might not actually be good.
Different fields, different approaches.
It wasn’t time to leave yet, and Neo Miller’s matter hadn’t been dealt with.
That’s why she didn’t chase after Elijah.
She wanted to have a good talk with him when she got home in the evening.
With her mood adjusted, she headed towards the dean’s office.
She knocked on the door, but no one responded.
Someone said that he had gone to the backyard.
Freya went to the garden to find him.
Soon, she saw Wesley Donaldson talking to Lane Glover.
They weren’t far away, and she could hear what they were saying.
“If you still want to work here, go beg Freya for mercy,” Wesley Donaldson advised her.
But Lane Glover refused. She couldn’t swallow her pride. “I haven’t done anything wrong.”
“Don’t you really want to work here anymore?” Before she could reply, Wesley Donaldson analyzed the situation for her, “Freya is more easygoing, but is Elijah easygoing?”
Lane Glover pursed her lips. “Mr Donaldson, you know about her relationship with Elijah, why didn’t you tell me?”
“I thought you knew. You’ve been saying that there’s someone backing her up, right? Why do something foolish?”
“We only heard rumors about someone backing her up, but we don’t know who it is. It’s just private speculation.”
In reality, they had no idea.
“Now you know, don’t you?” Wesley Donaldson patted her shoulder. “Decide between your pride and your job. I can’t help you. You’ve seen it for yourself, Elijah has the upper hand. Unless Freya speaks up for you, otherwise… you should know about Elijah’s style of doing things.”
Lane Glover was filled with distress. “What am I going to say?”
The dean couldn’t help her. As he turned to leave, he noticed Freya standing not far away.
