The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 123

Kieran slid the flyer across the table to Eloise, his voice laced with accusation. "You know about this, don't you?"

He wasn't naive. Eloise had jumped to defend those two immediately, making it crystal clear to Kieran that she was in the know.

Eloise bit her lip, a silent admission.

Kieran's suspicions turned into sure thing. "Ellie, this is so disappointing."

Without another word, he grabbed the flyer and turned to leave.

"Kieran!" Eloise tried to follow but got stopped by Jarrett. "Ms. Harwood, please stay back."

Then, he, too, followed Kieran out.

Outside the academic building, Jarrett caught up. "Mr. Sutton, should we look for Ms. Dawson?"

Kieran, flyer in hand, looked even more upset. "No need!"

He had wronged Freya, but she hadn't offered a single explanation. Did Freya distrust him that much?

"Let's go."

"Go?" Jarrett was stunned. It was a misunderstanding destined to go unresolved.

"If she wants to play tough, let her," Kieran said, storming off.

Meanwhile, Freya was gently dabbing at Luna's cheek. "Does it hurt?"

"A lawyer?"

"Some people at school are spreading malicious rumors about me. And call the police. I'm not holding back this time. Crush them, understood?"

"Understood, Ms. Dawson."

After hanging up, Freya glanced at Luna, her gaze darkening.

Money and power did make a difference, ensuring justice and protection for those close to her.

That afternoon, the police arrived at Summit University, causing a stir among the students.

"What's going on? Why are there so many cops here?"
