The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 111

Freya couldn't care less about Kieran. Her sights were set on Preston this time.

Seeing Freya disregard him, Kieran felt a mix of frustration and indignation.

"Mr. Sutton, is it wise to let Ms. Dawson roam free here? What if something happens..."

"Then she'll only have herself to blame!" Kieran said coldly, "Doesn't she refuse to stick by my side? A little hardship might teach her a lesson."

This scene was all about stepping on those below while sucking up to those above.

After the Dawson Group’s scandal, Freya was viewed no differently than an heiress from a bankrupt family on the brink of collapse.

Wandering alone at the dinner party, Freya was bound to face disdain and ridicule. Once she couldn't take it anymore, she'd naturally come crawling back to him.

Meanwhile, gathering her dress, Freya had barely taken a few steps when a taunting voice from a socialite echoed nearby. "Oh, isn't that Freya? She must have lost her way."

"Impossible. Who knows what sly tricks she used to have Mr. Sutton bring her here? Look, Mr. Sutton has left her all alone. He doesn't care a bit."

"Everyone knows Mr. Sutton only has eyes for Eloise. She's just asking for trouble."

Their taunts reached Freya's ears, but she had no intention of giving them the satisfaction of a response.

In her past life, she hadn't attended this dinner with Kieran but had heard that Preston was captivated by Eloise's dance performance.

Eloise was decent in their circle, although far from professional. Freya had learned various ballroom dances since she was young. Maybe she could give it a try.

At that moment, Freya whispered something to a waiter nearby, prompting one of the socialites to comment snidely. "What cheap trick is Freya trying to pull now?"

"Everyone knows Ms. Dawson tries to charm Mr. Sutton wherever she goes as if afraid he won't notice her. We're all sick of it."
