Chapter 29

โ€œHoly moly, borrowing money from the lecturer Ronan is quite the move, especially after all the trash you talked about him, and he lent it to you?โ€

โ€œWell, Ronan and Kieran are at each otherโ€™s throats. If I help him, heโ€™ll lend me the money.โ€

โ€œIt makes sense,โ€ Luna realized a bit too late. โ€œWait a minute. What did you do for him?โ€

Freya answered, โ€œI helped him deal with Kieran.โ€

โ€œWhat? Are you seriously picking a fight with Kieran?โ€

Luna was astonished. She had seen how deeply in love Freya was with Kieran before. She initially thought Freya was just throwing a fit, but it turned out she was actually serious about calling off her engagement with Kieran. That was quite the plot twist!

Seeing Lunaโ€™s astonished reaction, Freya couldnโ€™t help but let out a bitter laugh. Even her best friend thought she couldnโ€™t live without Kieran. What would others think then?

The heiress of the Dawson family turned into a joke over Kieran. It was indeed laughable.

In the evening, Johanna, all dolled up, dragged Kara to the Sutton Group. Inside the CEOโ€™s office, Johanna looked at Kieran sitting in his office chair and sheepishly said, โ€œMr. Sutton, I know Freya has been a bit unreasonable recently and upset you. Sheโ€™s stubborn and didnโ€™t want to apologize, so I brought her cousin here to apologize to you on her behalf.โ€

Hearing that, Kieran sneered, โ€œOh? Did Freya send Mrs. Dawson here?โ€

โ€œOf course!โ€ Johanna rushed to say, โ€œFreya knows she was wrong, and she also said calling off the engagement wasnโ€™t her intention. Mr. Sutton, please forgive her for her youthful ignorance.โ€

Seeing Freya admit her mistake, Kieran sarcastically said, โ€œIt seems like she finally gained a bit of self-awareness.โ€

โ€œAbsolutely!โ€ Sensing it was the moment, Johanna gave Kara a look. Ever since Kara walked in, she couldnโ€™t take her eyes off Kieran. She had never seen a man as handsome as him before, and she found herself a bit starstruck.

โ€œKara, come meet Freyaโ€™s fiancรฉ, Mr. Sutton.โ€

โ€œHi, Mr. Suttonโ€ฆโ€ Kara shyly lowered her head.

Hearing this term, Kieran felt a strange sense of satisfaction. Freya verbally wanted to end their engagement but was playing a different game behind his back. Was she eventually going to plead for their engagement?

Seeing the situation, Johanna said, โ€œMr. Sutton, Freyaโ€™s cousin, Kara, just returned from the countryside. She wishes to attend Summit University. Unfortunately, she has no connections. I wonder if Mr. Sutton could help Kara out?โ€

โ€œItโ€™s not a big deal, just a phone call away,โ€ Kieran said nonchalantly.

Hearing that, Johanna was overjoyed. โ€œKara! Thank Mr. Sutton.โ€

โ€œLetโ€™s not rush the thanks,โ€ Kieran spoke indifferently. โ€œIโ€™ve helped you out. Shouldnโ€™t Freya show some gratitude?โ€

โ€œYes, of course. Iโ€™ll bring Freya over tomorrow to apologize. If that doesnโ€™t satisfy you, weโ€™ll accept whatever punishment you choose!โ€

Kieran said indifferently, โ€œFreya doesnโ€™t owe me an apology. Itโ€™s Ellie who deserves it. Bring her over tomorrow, and have her kneel and apologize to Ellie.โ€

โ€œSure! You can count on me. Iโ€™ll ensure she gives Ms. Harwood a proper apology.โ€ Johanna was grinning from ear to ear.

Blushing, Kara said, โ€œThank you, Mr. Sutton. Iโ€™ll study hard and not let you down.โ€
