"Of course, Madeline is a thoughtful girl. She knows what's right and what's not. Since she's chosen to get pregnant with Patrick, it proves she truly accepts him in her heart and sees him as a lifelong support."

"And what about you?"

Freya suddenly looked up at her.

Ella paused for a moment, then sighed softly, "As for me, let's talk about getting married later. After all, considering my current situation, I can't be a good mother."

Freya nodded, "You and Madeline are both my sisters. I hope you both can be happy. Xavier is a good man, and I can guarantee that."

Compared to Madeline's experience, Ella's life was no better.

She once tightly sealed her heart, not letting anyone in, but now meeting Xavier was also a blessing.

"By the way, how are your preparations for the international competition? The preliminary judging for the submissions will probably be happening in the next few days!"

Freya touched her nose confidently, "Don't worry, the outline is already there. I've been brainstorming these past few days and will submit it as soon as it's ready."

"Ok. I heard that the boss of the international competition this year might personally present the award for the champion, and the prize is even more prestigious than before. That's why there are more designers participating this year, many of whom are big shots with over ten years of design experience."

Ella briefed her on the situation, then remembered something and blinked, "There's one more thing. This boss is said to be a mysterious tycoon, young, handsome, and wealthy. He's coming to present the award himself this time, mainly to invite the top designer as his personal designer. As for the commission, it's negotiable!"

Hearing this, Freya raised an eyebrow and then chuckled softly.

"Ella, don't joke. You know I'm already taken. If I go and become a personal designer for some man, Bradley will definitely get jealous."

That man was like a pot of vinegar. Once he got jealous, he could do anything.

Besides, she was not interested in being someone's personal designer. She got into fashion design purely for the money, although there was also some interest involved.

Now that she had earned enough money, why bother working for someone else and having to rely on their whims?

"Yeah, that's true. Bradley has the charm of a prince, along with wealth and influence. Besides, you're going to be his future princess, highly respected and admired. Why bother relying on someone else's money and face their whims when you are a renowned designer with plenty of money yourself?"

Freya flicked her hair and grinned, "You're right, I love to hear that."

"Alright, focus on preparing your submission. Once you win the championship, we'll figure out a way to handle this." Ella said and turned to leave.

Suddenly, Freya remembered her trip to Leiton Island tomorrow, and her head throbbed.

"Wait, Ella, I need your help."

Ella paused, looking puzzled. "What is it? Tell me."

Freya pressed her temples, sighed deeply, and said, "My master took Matthew away and wants me to accompany her to Leiton Island to meet her old lover's disciple. You know I have Bradley, so how could I possibly get to know other men?"

"My master is determined to separate us and match me with Felix. Now she's using Matthew to threaten me. I want you to go to Leiton Island and get firsthand information about Felix. You know the saying, 'Know your enemy, and you will win every battle.' If I can figure out his background, I can find a way to make him dislike me and dispel my master's idea."

Avoiding Felix wasn't an option. Once we met him, we would need to find a way to irritate him. Then the master won't have any objections.

Ella rubbed her nose and smiled, "Okay, I'll get right on it."

...

Night fell.

Freya lazily laid on the bed when the door was knocked.

She immediately got up and opened the door to see Ella walking in, looking dusty and tired.

"How did it go? Did you find out about Felix's information?"

Ella shook her head, "No, I asked people on Leiton Island, but Felix had been away from that island. He reportedly left three years ago and rarely comes back in recent years. However, he will come back and meet you tomorrow."

"Is there any way to stop him from coming back?"

Regardless of how excellent this Felix might be, she had no interest and didn't want to see him.

Since she couldn't avoid tomorrow's appointment, she could only try to stop Felix from returning to the island.

Ella was unsure. "I completely can't track down his whereabouts or any information about him. It's not feasible to take action based on such limited information."

Hearing her say this, Freya's headache worsened.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she grabbed Ella's arm, saying, "Since we can't find any information about him, let's just hang around at the island's entrance and catch him there!"

Even though this method seemed stupid, at this point, she couldn't think of a better one.

"Okay, we can only do that at this point!"

Just as Ella finished speaking, her phone beeped.

She picked it up and looked at it, her brows furrowed deeply.

Then, she tossed the phone to Freya with a faint smile, "Take a look for yourself. Someone wants to mess with you."

Freya took it and glanced at it, squinting slightly.

On the screen were various photos, with the main focus being Princess Lucy and Bradley.

As soon as these photos were circulated, the entire internet exploded!

The comments section is filled with ongoing debate.

"Hey, everyone, look at this! Isn't this Princess Lucy? Who's the man next to her? He's so handsome and tall!"

"Could that be her fiancé? They look so compatible standing together!"

"If that's the case, Princess Lucy is incredibly lucky. This man is really high-quality. I've never seen such a handsome man!"

Freya scrolled through these comments, feeling a surge of emotions.

Damn Lucy, playing tricks on her like this.

She logged into her account and replied directly under the comments, "Sorry, this man is my husband!"

As soon as this reply was posted, the entire internet exploded again.

"Hey, are you obsessed with handsome guys!"

"Yeah, exactly! Handsome guys are national treasures. He's also my husband, haha!"

" .... "

Freya looked at these thoughtless comments, feeling a headache coming on.

After some consideration, she decided to ignore these people, finding it too bothersome. The more attention she gave them, the more they seemed to thrive on it. Perhaps she'd even face an attack from them later.

Thinking back on the photos she captured earlier in the day, she rubbed her nose and smirked playfully.

Then, she planned to upload Lucy's embarrassing photos from earlier in the day to the internet. However, her phone beeped with a notification sound, indicating that someone had replied.

She opened it and jumped up from the bed when she saw it.

Someone had beaten her to it, uploading Lucy's embarrassing photos to the internet and even making them trend.

"Did Mr. Bradley do this?"

Ella raised an eyebrow and chuckled. This was getting interesting.

Freya's first reaction confirmed it was Bradley's doing, after all, those photos were the ones she had sent to him.

She scrolled through the comments, and one stood out as a top comment.

"Everyone, I'm married. My wife's name is Freya!"
