The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 13

Eloise was trying to have her cake and eat it, too. She wanted Kieran, yet she also wanted to maintain her air of superiority and pride.

After facing numerous trials and tribulations, Eloise and Kieran finally ended up together.

And there was Freya, turned into the tragic sacrifice for their love, deceived and played by both, only to meet a sorrowful demise.

Freya thought, ‘Why stand in their way if Kieran and Eloise were truly in love?’

With a faint smile, Freya said, “Audrey, it has nothing to do with Ms. Harwood. I decided to call off the engagement with Mr. Sutton. Besides... Mr. Sutton and Ms. Harwood truly love each other, and I wish to see them happy.”

Audrey was angry. “Nonsense! You were the granddaughter-in-law I had chosen. No other woman deserves to set foot in the Sutton family!”

Right after Audrey's words fell, Eloise's coffee cup slipped from her grasp.

“Ellie!” Kieran had just entered when he saw Eloise, pale as a ghost. He immediately rushed over to check her injuries, only to find her wrist was slightly bleeding, her fingers burnt by the hot coffee.

Kieran snapped, “Grandma! Ellie is already hurt. The doctor said if the cut had been any deeper, she could have lost the use of her hand! You shouldn't be so aggressive!”

Watching Kieran defend Eloise, Audrey scoffed, saying, “It was just a bit of hot coffee, and not even I asked her to carry it. Tell Ms. Harwood not to be stubborn if you're going to lecture someone. Even if she serves coffee for a lifetime, I will never allow her into my family!”

Kieran frowned deeply, and his gaze shifted to Freya sitting beside Audrey. “Did you spill the beans?”
