Mrs. Lynch waved her hand. “Look. They’re both from the same family, but why are they worlds apart?”
“Forget it. Let’s drop the subject. It’s good that Freya has gotten a divorce.”
Mr. Lynch sighed before saying to his daughter, “ Freya, don’t overthink things. Perhaps it’s good that you’ve divorced Rodney. If you were to notice his flaws only a few years later, you and Dani would be older already. It would be more inconvenient to divorce him then. After we buy a house in Canberra, you can move in and stay with us. We won’t force you to get married soon. When you meet someone you like next time, you can marry him. Otherwise, it’s fine to stay with us forever.”
Those words made Freya’s eyes redden. “Thanks, Dad.”
Although God made her go through a tough time in relationships, she would never collapse because she had her family backing her.
“My poor daughter is such a nice person, yet those men don’t know how to appreciate her.”
Mrs. Lynch took great pity on Freya. Then, she said to her son, “You’d better work hard in Lynch Corporation. I’m not expecting you to surpass Snow Corporation, but you must at least make Lynch Corporation one of the top five enterprises in the country. I want those who abandoned my daughter to notice how blind they were.”
Forrest’s mouth twitched. He forced a smile and nodded. “Mom, I’ll try my best.”
‘It’s all too easy for you to say that you want Lynch Corporation to be one of the top five enterprises in the country.
‘Lynch Corporation couldn’t even make it to the top five enterprises in Melbourne when I just took over the company.’
In the next few days, Mr. Lynch and Mrs. Lynch went to scout around for a house. The two of them were indeed decisive. On the third day, they called Freya cheerfully to tell her a piece of good news.
“Freya, we’ve already bought a three—story villa near the seaside. It’s quite spacious. There’s a swimming pool, a lawn, and a field. Also, it’s quite close to your office. You’ll be able to reach home in half an hour if you use the beltway. But you still need to wait for half a year. The renovation has just been done, and it’s still empty there. Dani can’t stay there yet.”
