All of a sudden, Freya came to realize her flaws.
Indeed, she had an average EQ. She was nowhere near as good as Catherine either.
After Mrs. Lynch left, she had a video call with Catherine amid her distress.
It was still daytime over there. Dressed in a red maxi dress, Catherine was sitting on the grass, enjoying some red wine and breakfast. Behind her was a huge green winery and chateau.
