The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 259

Freya found herself engrossed in the exam paper before her, all thanks to Luna's remark.

And how could she not be?

The glaring block letters on the page had somehow eluded her until then! It was even more astonishing that it was her seventh consecutive day tackling exam questions.

"Ph.D. Qualifying exams... No wonder they felt so daunting."

"Daunting? You haven't even been to school this year! How on earth did you write so much? Freya, what's your secret?"

But Freya wasn't bluffing her way through. Her edge came from her previous life when she had spent three years proactively managing affairs at the Sutton Group alongside Kieran.

She had gotten to know the ins and outs of the financial world so intimately that tackling these questions felt like child's play.

A sly smile crept onto Freya's lips as she glanced at her nearly completed answer sheet. She thought, "This is in the bag."

Meanwhile, at the Sutton Group headquarters, Flavia entered in a chic, ivory Chanel-inspired mini skirt that turned heads when she stepped into the building.

"Is that Ms. Miller? I heard she's Mr. Sutton's latest fiancée prospect."

"She's gorgeous, but I wonder what she's like as a person."

"She must be here to deliver lunch for Mr. Sutton, just like Ms. Dawson used to...”

Colleagues whispered to each other at their desks.

“What do you mean? I'm supposed to be Mr. Sutton's fiancée, and you're asking me to wait in the break room?”

“When Ms. Dawson used to bring lunch, Mr. Sutton didn't even offer her a spot to wait. You're already getting better treatment.” Although Jarrett spoke with a smile, his words left Flavia feeling slighted.

"What's Freya compared to me? The Dawson family is almost bankrupt. How could you even compare me to her? You better get me a private room, or I'll have Audrey handle this."

Jarrett’s expression remained unchanged by Flavia's threat.

Freya would never resort to dropping Audrey's name to get her way. It seemed Flavia was taking herself a tad too seriously.

“Please feel free to do as you wish, Ms. Miller. I have work to attend to.” With that, Jarrett returned to his duties, leaving Flavia in a huff.
