NovelStartChapter 1761 The Head Of The Family There was nothing left for Shawn to say, so he sent Peregrine back.
In no time, he and Frieda were the only ones left in the mansion.
“Are we really going to let him work at Roxanne's research institute? You put in so much effort to hire him!” Frieda was indignant on his behalf.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, Shawn shot her a glare and snapped, “What then? What else can we do? Are you saying that you're capable of making him stay?” Frieda flinched and clamped her mouth shut, but she still felt aggrieved.
What good is Roxanne? How is she making the King of Medicine stay for her? Clearly, we can provide him with better treatment.
If he stays, he should be staying with us instead! The atmosphere in the living room turned tense.
Shawn frowned and was quiet for long while. All of a sudden, he said, “Even if we can't keep that old man around, we can't let Roxanne get such a good deal so easily!” Frieda nodded in agreement before curiously asking, “What do we do then?” Peregrine joining Roxanne's research institute was already a matter set in stone. What could they possibly do to stop Roxanne from getting away with that? When Shawn glanced at her again, the fury on his face dissipated. With a smile, he filled a cup of tea for her and said, “Regardless of everything, you were the one who hired Old Mr. Lomax. Now that he has treated Roxanne, they should be thanking you.” Frieda turned to look at him in confusion.
Impatience surged through Shawn, but he forced himself to stay calm as he said, “Go hand tell your brother about this. | believe he's not an unreasonable man.” Frieda's heart skipped a beat in excitement, but she was still plagued with a little worry.
“But my brother... Even if he wants to thank me, he'll thankwith smoney and nothing too substantial.” Due to her interactions with Shawn and Aubree, Jonathan had been wary of her. Even if she did return to the Queen family, she would not be able to get an important position.
Those thoughts infuriated Frieda.
She was also part of the Queen family, but while Jonathan was regarded with great importance, she could only be lorded over by her brother.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShawn could see the fury in her eyes, and a cold look flashed past his own eyes. He then slowly consoled, “If | can say that, it means | have a way to get you an important position. All you need to do is heed my instructions.” Frieda was tempted by his words.
Standing beside her, Shawn pulled her into his arms and said to her in a low voice, “We're in the sboat. Why would | lie to you? Didn't | help you hire Old Mr. Lomax when you askedto find someone to save Roxanne?” Upon his persuasion, Frieda began to show signs of relenting.
“Just do as | say. Who knows who'll end up as the future head of the Queen family?” Shawn persisted.
Finally, Frieda leaned into his arms and softly said, “I'll... talk to my brother about this then. Let's see how he plans to thank me.” Shawn lowered his gaze to look at the woman in his arms. There was nothing but gloominess in his eyes, but he patted her shoulder in encouragement as he said, “I'll be waiting for your good news.” The two of them continued to discuss more details about the plan for a while longer. When it was getting late, Shawn sent someone to bring Frieda home.
