The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 269

No matter how you slice it, Echo City was Kieran's turf. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry who rolled into Echo City had to tip their hat to Kieran. Jarrett couldn't believe a young woman, fresh from abroad, would dare to snub Kieran's invitation.

Hearing Jarrett's words, Kieran's expression was ice-cold, and he said, "She's not worth my time."

"Yes, Mr. Sutton."

On his way out, Kieran turned to Jarrett and said, "Keep an eye on Freya. Don't let her wander off."

Jarrett nodded. "Yes, sir."

Meanwhile, Freya was still in the room, glancing out the window.

Somehow, Kieran had stationed his people inside the apartment building. The Sutton family's men are easy to recognize due to their uniformed bodyguards taking turns standing guard at the community entrance. Was this how Kieran controlled her movements?

The thought made Freya furrow her brows. Wasn't Kieran taking things a bit too far? After calling off their engagement, he still treated her like his personal property.

Though irritated, Freya knew she was powerless in the situation. Who could challenge the might of Echo City's kingpin, a man whose mere finger snap could send shivers down the city's spine?

Only a fool would think they could melt Kieran's heart—a man as hard as stone. Apart from Eloise, no woman stood a chance with him.
