Chapter 31 Quickly Divorce That Scoundrel!
"What's wrong?" Isabella asked.
The waiter was so shocked that he swallowed hard, unsure of how to respond.
'Two of these children look exactly like Frederick! They're like mini versions of him! But Frederick is having his meal in the next room. If these boys are his sons, why isn't he with them? Besides, everyone says Mr. Valdemar has only one son. Could these boys be Mr. Valdemar's illegitimate children?'
The waiter's thoughts ran wild, his expression becoming even more animated.
However, he knew better than to pry into Frederick's personal affairs.
Everyone working at the Wavecrest Restaurant was discreet.
Seeing Freya and Isabella looking at her, the waiter quickly explained, "I'm sorry. They're just so handsome. I've never seen such good-looking children before, and I couldn't contain my emotions. I apologize."
Freya and Isabella's doubts were finally dispelled.
Most people who saw these three children for the first time were astonished.
"Would you like me to bring you the menu?" the waiter asked.
"No, we'll take a look first."
"Alright, there's a detailed description for each dish. There's a button here that connects you to the service department. You can make any requests, and we'll take care of them."
With that, the waiter smiled and turned to leave.
Isabella immediately remarked, "Eating here is already extravagant. Why did you book a room with a view?"
Freya generously replied, "It's my first time treating the boys to a meal, so I wanted to go to the best place. If it weren't for the fact that the two most expensive private rooms were already reserved, I would have booked them."
"That's extravagant. I feel bad about it."
"Don't worry about the money. I have enough. Look, Teronica has changed a lot, hasn't it?"
Isabella couldn't help but stand up and look out the window at Teronica.
The city's night view was beautiful, with towering skyscrapers, twinkling lights, and bustling streets, all showcasing the city's vibrancy.
Isabella used to feel like a resident of this city, but now, she still loved the city, even though she no longer belonged here.
"Is that building new? I don't remember seeing it before."
"Which one?"
"The tallest one, with a round sphere on the rooftop, like a gem."
"Oh, that's the new office building of the Valdemar Group. It was completed two years ago and is said to have cost hundreds of billions of dollars. It's the most luxurious office building in the country."
Isabella was taken aback.
"The Valdemar family's?"
"Yes, the Valdemar family faced a serious crisis, almost going bankrupt. Mr. Nicholas resigned as the CEO, and Frederick took over the Valdemar Group, becoming its president."
Isabella's eyes widened.
"Fred... Frederick is the current president of the Valdemar Group?"
"Yes, everyone knows that. Didn't you?"
Isabella had been living in the countryside for these years, making it difficult for her to keep up with the news in the city.
Moreover, she had never paid much attention to Frederick, her nominal husband.
"But wasn't he the least liked before? And he's disabled."
"I heard that he was indeed unpopular, and he is indeed disabled. But none of that matters. The Valdemar family has only one male heir in each generation, and Mr. Nicholas has only one grandson. The children born to his daughter, although they use the Valdemar surname, are not truly part of the Valdemar family. Wealthy families care most about the status of their heirs. And Frederick is remarkable. He is the epitome of determination despite his disability. God may have deprived him of the ability to walk, but he endowed him with the strongest mind. During a crisis, Frederick turned the Valdemar Group from a company on the brink of bankruptcy into a business giant, increasing its market value by more than a hundredfold. He is a legend in the business world! As a result, Frederick has become the richest man in the world, topping the list of billionaires for several consecutive years."
