The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 114

Hans grabbed the socialite by the collar and dragged her out of the venue under the watchful eyes of everyone present.

A collective gasp filled the air. Everyone knew that the night belonged to the Tyler family. By acting this way, Preston was making an example out of someone!

Kieran and Eloise were quickly drawn to the commotion. Seeing Freya in Preston's arms, Kieran's eyes turned cold instantly.

Seeing Kieran's reaction, Eloise whispered, "Ms. Dawson sure knows how to leave an impression. Mr. Tyler only had to see her once to take her side..."

There was an underlying tone in Eloise's voice, causing Kieran's frown to deepen.

Was Freya in such a hurry to latch onto a new benefactor?

"Mr. Tyler, thank you," Freya said, attempting to leave Preston's embrace but finding herself held tight by the waist.

Preston had no intention of letting her go.

As Freya looked up into Preston's icy gaze, she feigned weakness. "Mr. Tyler, you're hurting me..."

Upon hearing it, Preston leaned in and whispered in her ear, "Stop playing games with me."

"I can smell prey, and you're the first to come knocking." Preston released his grip on Freya's waist and walked past her under the watchful eyes of all.

Seeing her chance slipping away, Freya stepped forward, took Preston's arm, and said, "Mr. Tyler, I need a companion."

Preston frowned at her words.

She also knew that Preston could have had a significant impact in Echo City, but he gave up competing with Kieran to support a heartbroken Eloise abroad.

At that time, all of Echo City praised Eloise as a remarkable woman, capable of making two powerful men vie for her affection and spend fortunes.

Freya didn't need Preston to do anything special for her, but she also couldn't afford to make him mad at her.

Although supported by Ronan, the Dawson family was still unstable. She needed to bide her time until her family could stand firm and compete with Kieran, not being forced into submission by a mere word from him.

"Freya!" At that moment, Kieran's voice reached them from not too far away.

Preston paused, turning around to see Kieran approaching with Eloise hurriedly catching up to him.
