Was it really that hard for him to accept her?

Freya bit her tongue, the sharp pain jolting her back to reality and helping her regain control over her emotions. She forced a smile, her voice steady, though tinged with tension. “Dad, my management abilities are nowhere near yours or Peter’s level yet. I was hoping to stay by your side a little longer and learn from you.”
Alan’s voice remained calm and detached. “Once you marry into the Ortegas, you can always come back and visit me and your mother. Nothing will change.”
Freya set her coffee cup down, adopting an indifferent expression as she offered an excuse. “That’s true, but the Ortegas are facing a tough time right now. Daniel’s carcer is still unstable. He probably wants to spend a few years focusing on getting things in order before settling down.”
Alan gave her a flat, emotionless look. “Tell him not to worry. After the marriage, you can stay at the Sanders‘ place. If he wants, he can even work at the Sanders‘ company to gain some experience.”
Freya realized there was no way around it and reluctantly agreed for the time being. “Alright, I’ll talk to Daniel about it soon.”
With that, the conversation fizzled out, and they sat in silence.
After dinner, Freya left to find Daniel.
Before the Ortegas‘ business went bankrupt, their assets were seized, and Daniel had scraped by to keep a small apartment. By the time Freya arrived, it was already 9:00 p.m.
-Sitting in the cramped space, Freya couldn’t hide her displeasure. It took a while for her to adjust to the
atmosphere, but eventually, she broke the silence.
“Everyone was pretty upset this afternoon. Don’t take it to heart,” she said.
Daniel, casually leaning against the fridge, snorted in amusement. “But I love taking things to heart. There’s nothing I can do about it.
“With my situation, how could I compete with you, Ms. Sander?” he continued. “If my wolf weren’t still around, you’d have probably dumped me by now. I wouldn’t be of any use to you.”
Freya frowned, clearly irritated. “I know you’re upset, but if you’ve got something to say, just say it. I won’t be offended.
“I came to tell you that trouble is headed our way. Alan wants to kick me out of the Sanders management team.”
“That’s great. You’ll be just like me–without any power. Even Hayley, that Omega, will dare push you around now. That makes us an even better match now,” Daniel shot back bitterly.
Freya stood up, glaring at him. “You need to stop with the sarcasm. Instead of wasting time here, you be thinking about this: Considering your history with Hayley, do you think you’ll have any chance of surviving if I lose control of the Sanders?”

She turned to face him seriously. “Remember the fate of Jonah and his crew. If you don’t want to end up them, pick up your knife and get to work!

Benjamin’s POV:
The Carsons‘ new mansion had plenty of empty rooms, and I had initially planned to choose one for myself.
But Peter made it clear that I wasn’t allowed to live with Hayley before the wedding. He thought it would give the Moon Goddess the wrong impression and harm Hayley’s mental and physical health.
So, I had no choice but to buy a nearby villa.
With Justin and May around, things were chaotic at the Carsons‘ place, so Hayley spent most of her time at my house. She was here almost every day, which I didn’t mind at all. In fact, I was happy and enjoyed our time together.
The only problem was this guy named Hawk, who seemed to follow Hayley everywhere. Sometimes, I couldn’t stand him, and I really wanted Lawrence to kick him out. But there was nothing I could do–Hawk had become one of Hayley’s subordinates.
His real name was Stewart Tillery, and ever since the Riverview Lounge incident, he’d been glued to Hayley’s side.
Stewart didn’t behave like an outsider. When Hayley and I worked inside, he’d lounge on a rocking chair outside, wearing a hat and leisurely soaking up the sun.
Then there was my ever–annoying brother, Henry, who showed up at Hayley’s place every day.

Peter came by today as well.
When he saw Hayley lying across my lap, he shot me a glare, and I just grinned back.
Hayley, however, didn’t even notice him.
Peter’s frown deepened, clearly upset. Seeing the frustration and urgency in his face, I quickly asked, “What’s going on?”
