The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 130

"Do you think I came here over this?"

"Isn't that why?" Freya frowned deeply.

What else could have brought Kieran to her room if not for the whole Eloise debacle?

Kieran clenched his jaw to keep cool when he saw the woman just didn't get how annoyed he was. "Do you really think I just blindly stick up for Eloise like that?" he asked.

"It's not only in my eyes. You've always been blatantly favoring Eloise." Freya retorted, "Everyone in Echo City knows Eloise is your darling, Mr. Sutton. Like today, didn't you take Ms. Harwood's side without a second thought?"

Hearing Freya's words, Kieran immediately responded, "That's because Ellie isn't that kind of woman..."

"There, Mr. Sutton, you believe Ms. Harwood isn't that kind of woman, thinking I'm the one who's always stirring trouble, being bitter and sharp-tongued. It's always my fault, right?"

"You..." Kieran was momentarily speechless.

All he heard was how Freya, flaunting her position as the fiancée of the head of the Sutton family, bullied others, unaware of the rumors spread on the bulletin board.

Kieran said, "I didn't know they slandered you, but is that my fault? You could have explained it to me!"

"Mr. Sutton, would you believe me if I explained? I'm not that vain to think you would punish Eloise for my sake."

She had learned her lesson in a past life, and in this one, she wasn't foolish enough to believe she held a candle to Eloise in Kieran's heart.

"I won't let this go. Mr. Sutton, I won't let anyone walk all over me, whether you think I'm being harsh or unreasonable. We could always call off the engagement if it bothers you that much. Just say the word. And even Audrey’s stern stance won't matter. Then, we can go our separate ways, and I assure you that you'll never have to deal with me making you uncomfortable again."
