The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 160

"Freya, you're in my hands now. I'd advise you to stop struggling. No one will come to save you!" Recalling Freya's haughty demeanor at home the previous day, Leland wanted to give her a taste of her own medicine.

"Hey, Leland, the girl's caught. Maybe I could lend a hand?"

"And how's that?"

"You know how women prize their reputation above everything else? There’s been all this chatter about Ms. Dawson being as pure as the driven snow for Mr. Sutton. True or not, today seems like a good day to find out!"

Freya felt her stomach churn as she listened to the despicable words from Leland's sidekick.

‘Fear losing her reputation the most?’ Freya found it laughable. Such thoughts were nothing but the filthy, lowly musings of despicable men!

She knew Leland was a scoundrel but had never imagined he would stoop to kidnapping.

After hesitation, Leland said, "Freya's supposed to marry Mr. Sutton. What if something happens?"

"Leland, relax, man. I don't buy that whole 'saving herself' nonsense for a second. Besides, who'd dare spill the beans? Unless your sister no longer wishes to marry Mr. Sutton."

Everyone in Echo City knew Kieran was a stickler for purity, whether it was about matters or people. If Freya was "tainted," Kieran would reject her.

With that thought, Leland reluctantly agreed, saying, "As long as it forces her to hand over the Dawson Group, do whatever!"

"You got it, Leland!" The accomplice quickly stepped forward, while Leland stepped back, and the other two rich kids who had helped plan the kidnapping moved in, wanting a piece of the action.

Freya's gaze turned icy as the men approached. One of them ripped the tape from her mouth, expecting to see fear and panic.

Instead, Freya remained unfazed.
