Around half an hour later, Frieda arrived and strode into the house cockily. She only put her arrogance aside when she realized Alfred was sitting on the couch.
“You are here, Grandpa,” Frieda greeted Alfred with a pang of guilt.
Alfred threw her a displeased look and scoffed.
Frieda rubbed her nose idly and made to join them on the couch.
“Stand right there!” Jonathan snapped.
Frieda halted in her tracks unwillingly. As Alfred was around, she returned to her spot and stood there silently.
“Do you know why I asked you to come home?” Jonathan demanded.
Frieda pursed her lips and feigned ignorance. “I don't know. I was shopping when you asked me to come back. Why are you upset?”
Jonathan wore a wintry expression. “Did you order Rex not to provide medicinal herbs to Dr. Jarvis' research institute?”
Frieda nodded indifferently.
Seeing her response, Alfred and Jonathan shared a look of confusion.
Ever since Frieda first met Roxanne, she had been at odds with the latter.
No wonder Roxanne said all the other medicinal herb suppliers stopped supplying the research institute with medicinal herbs when she came here in the morning. However, she didn't explain why. It turns out that Farwell Group was behind it.
