Chapter 2177

Catherine: [Hah. Even Tom, D**k, and Harry are now messing with Freya. Tell Freya to do as she
wishes. I’ll take responsibility if anything happens.]

Shaun: [Wifey, you’re such a bad*ss for another woman. Have you ever considered my feelings?]

Catherine replied to Shaun: [Be good.]

Shaun replied: [My wife is awesome.]

Chase was speechless. How did it end up a public display of affection? Enough was enough. He even
had to witness them being lovey-dovey through the screen.

A minute later, Catherine posted an Instagram post with the caption: [Hah, even Tom, D**k, and Harry
are messing with my best friend. How infuriating.]

Of course, she posted it on her account and made sure everyone was blocked, except Freya and
Ryan.

When Freya was scrolling through her Instagram as she had nothing to do during mealtime, she
immediately commented: [What? Are you talking about me? Has Chase told you about it?]

Catherine replied in an instant: [Just be brave and do it. I’ll bear the consequences for you.]

Freya sent a touched and crying emoji.

However, after posting the comment, she noticed Ryan’s reply in the comments section. [Who bullied
Freya?]

“…”

Freya almost forgot that Ryan was Catherine’s Instagram follower.



Just as she thought about that, her phone rang. It was Ryan calling.

She declined the call, but Ryan called again. After a few times, it raised other people’s attention at her
table.

However, Ryan was relentless. Freya had no choice but to step outside with her phone. After picking
up the call, she threw a tantrum. “Ryan, do you know you’re disturbing my meal?”



“Are you sure you’re eating and not looking at your Instagram?” Ryan said, “Who bullied you?”

“It’s none-“

“It’s my f*cking business.” As soon as Freya opened her mouth, Ryan knew that she was about to
repeat those five words. “What happened?”

“It’s my problem. I’m not telling you.” Freya harrumphed, not realizing that she was being more arrogant
around Ryan.

“I see. If you don’t tell me, I’ll have no choice but to call your parents. I’ll tell them that I’ve been in love
with their precious daughter for a long time and that she’s currently getting bullied. I’ll feel
uncomfortable if I don’t stand up for her,” Ryan said wistfully.

“Don’t you dare.” Freya could not do anything against his threat. “Ryan, when have you become so
brazen?”

Ryan said relaxedly, “I have no choice. I can’t woo my girlfriend or protect the one I love if I’m not
brazen.”



“Shameless.” Freya was scolding him, but her tone unconsciously became softer. Even the corners of
her mouth curved upward into a smile.

“Yes, yes. I’m shameless.”

Freya gave up. “I don’t need your help. It’s just a small matter. I can handle it.”

“But you’re definitely in a bad mood. Can you tell me about it? You might feel better if you share it with
me.” Ryan coaxed her with a smile. “I’m willing to be your trash can.”

“I don’t want you to be my trash can.”

Freya hung up after she spoke. When she returned to her seat, Ryan had transferred her pocket
money with a message: [Be happy, Baby Freya.]

Freya suddenly felt much better amid the noisy banquet and everyone’s strange gazes around her.
