Kieran frowned. He wasn't oblivious that the servants of the Sutton family had been giving Freya a hard time behind his back. But he had always been too indifferent to stand up for Freya. He even hoped the harsh treatment would drive her away.
This time, however, Una had crossed the line.
Kieran's voice was icy as he spoke, "The Sutton family doesn’t need employees with such disgraceful conduct. Collect your wages for the month. You're no longer an employee in the Sutton family."
When Kieran made his decision, Una's expression soured even further. "Mr. Sutton! It wasn't me! I've been framed!"
"Take her away." Kieran had no interest in wasting time on trivial matters.
In no time, Jarrett had escorted Una out.
Freya straightened her bath towel and said, "Mr. Sutton, may I go and get changed now?"
Seeing Freya in her disheveled state, Kieran took off his jacket and tossed it to her, saying coldly, "Change into proper clothes and come down. I need to speak with you."
Freya glanced at the jacket and threw it back to Kieran the next second, saying, "Thanks for the offer, Mr. Sutton."
Seeing his jacket tossed back at him made Kieran's expression darken further.
He gritted his teeth and thought, ‘Freya is getting bolder by the minute!’
Upstairs, Freya changed into her clothes and walked down. As expected, Kieran was quietly waiting for her on the couch.
