Chapter 1761


    CHAPTER 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.


    However, Shawn shot her a re and snapped, “What then? What else can we do? Are you saying


    that you''re capable of making him stay?”


    Frieda flinched and mped 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 nced 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 home and tell


    your brother about this. I believe he''s not an unreasonable man.”


    Frieda''s heart skipped a beat in excitement, but she was still gued with a little worry.


    “But my brother... Even if he wants to thank me, he''ll thank me with some money 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.


    Shawn could see the fury in her eyes, and a cold look shed past his own eyes. He then slowly


    consoled, “If I can say that, it means I 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 same


    boat. Why would I lie to you? Didn''t I help you hire Old Mr. Lomax when you asked me to find someone


    to save Roxanne?”


    Upon his persuasion, Frieda began to show signs of relenting.


    “Just do as I 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 ns 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 n for a while longer. When it was


    gettingte, Shawn sent someone to bring Frieda home.
