The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 140

Freya didn't even give Kara a chance to protest.

When everyone saw Freya taking Kara by the arm and leading Kara away, whispers erupted in the crowd.

"Does Freya know Kara's been cozying up to Mr. Sutton and is green with envy?"

"It's definitely gonna be a face-off. What else could have put that look on Freya's face?"

"Freya thinks too highly of herself. Mr. Sutton is into Kara, and what's there for her to be jealous about? Everyone knows her fiancée title is just for show."

.....

Overhearing the gossip, Luna glanced at the group sternly. "What was that? Say it one more time!"

Knowing Luna as the daughter of a media mogul, the group quickly apologized, "Ms. Jennings, we were just spouting nonsense!"

"Yeah, just talking rubbish! Please don’t take it to heart."

"I'm warning you. If I hear anyone badmouthing Freya again, you'll regret it." Luna's tone had turned icy.

The group quieted down, not wanting to piss off Luna. After all, Luna had powerful parents backing her up, unlike Freya, who only had a stepmom.

Meanwhile, Freya had taken Kara to an empty classroom.

Once inside, looking rather pitiful, Kara said, "Freya, you're hurting me."

Kara grabbed Freya's arm, pleading, "Freya, it's my fault. I’m sorry, but what I said was the truth. You’re engaged. How can you be so close to another man? Please, don’t be mad at me. I said many good things about you before Mr. Sutton..."

Watching Kara, Freya flashed back to the day Kara had even gone down on her knees to shine Kieran’s shoes at the Sutton Group. Kara must have some kind of game plan with Kieran.

"You’re just stating the facts," Freya said, smiling. "I’m not mad."

"Reya! How can you not be mad?" Luna was livid, seeing through Kara's intentions, even as an outsider. How could Freya not?

Yet to Kara, Freya said, "You’re oversimplifying things. Do you think you, who entered Summit University through the back door, will have any security in the future if Kieran doubts my relationship with Mr. Tyler and breaks off our engagement in anger?"

Upon hearing this, Kara, who had been playing the victim, was suddenly speechless.
