The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 41

Kieran scoffed, "She has to clean up her mess. Without the Dawson Group, she's nothing but a regular Jane."

Just then, the office landline rang.

Kieran picked it up, and the receptionist said, "Mr. Sutton, a lady here claiming to be from the Dawson family, wants to meet with you."

Hearing Freya had arrived, Kieran leaned back in his armchair, smirking, "Let her come up."

"Right away, Mr. Sutton." The receptionist hung up.

Soon, Kara walked in, her dress strikingly similar to one of Eloise's classic white gowns. As she pushed the door open, she saw Kieran buried in paperwork.

Without looking up, Kieran jeered, "What? Come to beg for mercy?"

"Mr. Sutton... it's me, Kara."

Hearing a different name, Kieran frowned. Sure enough, it was Kara's voice that filled the room.

Kara blushed and timidly lowered her gaze. "Mr. Sutton, I..."

"Who sent you here?" Kieran's tone was icy.

Kara paused, noticing the stark difference in Kieran's demeanor from the night before, feeling disheartened.

"Mr. Sutton, I... I came to thank you for helping me get into Summit University." Her voice was barely above a whisper.

Impatient, Kieran snapped, "Are you done?"

Kara nodded. "Yes, I'm done."
