The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 86

Freya opened her mouth to speak, but before she could get a word out, Audrey waved at her, saying, “Freya, you better hurry up and give me a great-grandchild.”

Hearing Audrey's words, Eloise's eyes instantly welled up with tears. The next second, Eloise ran out of the Sutton Mansion, tears streaming down her face.

Seeing this, Kieran hurried after her, calling out behind, “Ellie!”

Before he left, Kieran shot Freya a cold glare.

Freya felt the heaviness of Kieran's stare. She wasn't worried about being misunderstood by him, but being falsely accused still left a sour taste.

Audrey seemed to have anticipated that Kieran would chase after Eloise. She wasn’t worried. Instead, she told Freya, “Freya, take a seat.”

Freya cut to the chase. “Audrey, did you say that on purpose just now?”

Hearing the accusatory tone in Freya’s voice, Audrey remained unfazed, saying, “What’s done is done. From now on, you’re the chosen fiancée of the Sutton family. Don’t worry, Eloise won’t threaten your position.”

‘She won’t threaten my position? Audrey’s move is cunning.’ Freya thought, ‘With just one sentence, Audrey made Kieran doubt me. It’s a scheme to keep me tied to the Sutton family and under Audrey’s control.’

Freya remembered how she used to try to copy Eloise, all while Audrey watched closely. Yet, Audrey never stepped in because she knew that even if Freya perfected her imitation of Eloise, she would never truly win Kieran’s heart.

And Freya could only please Audrey to secure her place as Kieran’s fiancée. She had once thought Audrey truly cared for her. It turned out the Sutton family’s schemes were indeed extraordinary.

“If there's nothing else, Audrey, I’ll leave now.” Freya adjusted her clothes and left the Sutton Mansion without looking back.
