That evening, Kieran returned to Sutton Manor, noticing only the housekeeper bustling about in the living room. He inquired, "Where's Freya?"
"Ms. Dawson? Ms. Dawson hasn't come back yet today."
"Not back yet?" Kieran glanced at the clock in the living room and remarked, "It's ten o'clock. What kind of classes go on this late?"
Unsure herself, the housekeeper suggested, "Maybe... there's some school event?"
"What college event goes on this late?" Kieran frowned, pulling out his phone to call Freya.
The phone rang twice before, unsurprisingly, the call was disconnected.
Great! Just great!
Witnessing Kieran's darkening mood, the housekeeper was about to speak up for Freya.
However, Kieran commanded, "Throw all of Freya's stuff out of her room!"
"Throw it... out?" The housekeeper was stunned.
Those were all Ms. Dawson's belongings!
Kieran coldly stated, "If she doesn't want to stay at Sutton Manor, she might as well leave."
Reflecting on Silas's words, Kieran grew increasingly worried about Freya.
"Ms. Harwood, I've moved out of Sutton Manor, and Kieran has thrown all my things out. I believe my sincerity is clear enough, right?"
Hearing this, Eloise frowned on the other end of the line. Kieran hadn’t contacted her in these few days. And they didn’t speak over the previous incident of spreading rumors about Freya.
She thought Freya wanted to confront Kieran, but surprisingly, Freya decided to walk away. That would seem strange to anyone.
Freya continued, "Ms. Harwood, I won't compete with you over Kieran. I'm even willing to bring business your way. Mr. Tyler is now interested in a property from the Harwood family. If you could meet with Mr. Tyler, I believe a partnership between your families wouldn't be difficult."
"You're that generous?" Eloise couldn't believe Freya would go out of her way to introduce Preston, a major player, to her.
Freya stated, "Believe it or not, it’s up to you, Ms. Harwood. But I've done what's necessary to provoke Kieran, showing my sincerity. Please think it over."
