The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 21

Freya said, her gaze sharpening as she deliberately slowed her pace. She flipped through the financial statements from the first page to the last with a fake meticulousness.

Across from her, Galen was visibly freaked out under the pressure, his legs trembling so badly that he could barely stand upright.

Embezzling millions of dollars from the company meant potentially spending the rest of his life behind bars!

Suddenly, Freya slammed the financial reports onto the desk.

Galen almost dropped to his knees from the sudden movement, but then he heard Freya frown and complain, "What is all this? Just a bunch of numbers, who can even make sense of this mess?"

Galen was stunned and thought, ‘Freya can’t understand the report?’

Beside her, Alison’s expression soured with disappointment in her eyes. Mr. Gavin Dawson's daughter couldn’t decipher a financial statement, huh?

Galen wiped his sweat, stepping forward with a forced smile. "Ms. Dawson, I've said it before. I can tell you if you want to know about the company's affairs. It would save you the hassle of going through all this paperwork."

"That's true, but these documents still need to be signed," Freya said, turning to Alison. "Alison, could you help me pick which ones need my signature and which don't? I do want to learn how to manage the company."

"Of course, Ms. Dawson," Alison replied, her voice heavy, clearly disappointed in Freya.

Seeing Galen lingering, Freya said, "Galen, what are you still doing here? Your presence isn’t needed."

Relieved that Freya seemed clueless about the company's inner workings, Galen felt a weight lift off his shoulders. "Okay then, Ms. Dawson, I'll leave you to it. I'll be off."
