Chapter 92

Freya had just picked up her coffee mug as Kieran pressed his hand down on it. With a swift move, Kieran flung the mug aside, shattering it to pieces. Kieran fumed. โ€œFreya, you play hard, donโ€™t you? Last night, I almost fell for your trick.โ€

โ€œMr. Sutton, what are you talking about? Iโ€™m lost here,โ€ Freya gave Kieran an innocent look.

However, Kieran coldly replied, โ€œYou teamed up with Grandma to put on a show to ensure we were alone together and even had Ellie catch us in the act. All this for that two billion, right?โ€

Hearing Kieranโ€™s words, Freya realized Kieran suspected the money she used to bail out her company came from Audrey.

โ€œMr. Sutton, youโ€™re overthinking this,โ€ Freya looked at Kieran earnestly and said, โ€œLast nightโ€™s incident had nothing to do with me. And about that two billion in funding, I raised it myself. Audrey wasnโ€™t involved at all.โ€

โ€œYou still want to lie?โ€ Kieranโ€™s gaze narrowed as he said, โ€œI used to think you were just a little gold digger, but now, it seems your appetite is much bigger than I imagined.โ€

Saying so, Kieran moved closer to Freya. โ€œHow much did Grandma give you to go through all this trouble to set me up?โ€

Seeing Kieran closing the distance between them to a half-step, Freya instinctively stepped back and said, โ€œKieran, I donโ€™t know how youโ€™ve concocted this whole drama in your head, but Iโ€™ve said what I needed to. I donโ€™t know what to say if you still think this way about me.โ€

Seeing Freyaโ€™s indifferent expression angered Kieran more. He scoffed, โ€œSo, youโ€™re confident, huh? Confident that I canโ€™t do anything to you?โ€

โ€œMr. Sutton, you are full of yourself. I havenโ€™t been focusing on you at all. If it wasnโ€™t for you not wanting to call off the engagement and letting Audrey interfere, we wouldโ€™ve had nothing to do with each other by now.โ€

Hearing Freyaโ€™s words, Kieranโ€™s expression turned icy.

Freya said, โ€œI think itโ€™s best if we go our separate ways. Once the current gossip about us dies down, we can find an excuse to call off the engagement, right?โ€

โ€œSo, you want to break off the engagement?โ€ asked Kieran.

โ€œYes,โ€ Freya didnโ€™t hesitate to give her answer.

โ€œFine, let me tell you this,โ€ Kieran enunciated each word, โ€œIn your dreams.โ€ After saying that, Kieran gestured with his hand. โ€œCome in!โ€

From outside, Jarrett led a group of people in. Freya frowned slightly.

Kieran ordered, โ€œPack up Ms. Dawsonโ€™s belongings.โ€

โ€œUnderstood.โ€

โ€œKieran, this is my house!โ€

โ€œIt is your house.โ€ Kieran sat on the couch, looking at ease, and said, โ€œBut while Iโ€™m here, what you say doesnโ€™t matter.โ€

โ€œYou!โ€

โ€œI guess all you have is that two billion. That wonโ€™t last you a month if I decide to take further action against the Dawson Group.โ€ Hearing it, Freyaโ€™s gaze turned icy. โ€œKieran, I bear no grudge against you, and Iโ€™ve never planned to come between you and Eloise. You used to dislike me so much. Why target the Dawson Group now that Iโ€™m willing to break off the engagement?โ€

โ€œRegardless, you are technically still my fiancรฉe. You should have expected this day when you left Ellieโ€™s birthday party in Ronanโ€™s arms.โ€ Kieran said coldly, โ€œRonan can protect you temporarily, but not forever. As long as youโ€™re still my fiancรฉe, you must fulfill your duties as the future Mrs. Sutton.โ€

โ€œAnd what โ€˜dutiesโ€™ are those? Cook and clean for you every day, follow you around like a shadow, and turn myself into the townโ€™s laughingstock?โ€ Freya scoffed, โ€œThatโ€™s a maidโ€™s duty, not mine. I was foolish once, but never again.โ€

Hearing this, Kieranโ€™s expression grew colder. By then, the people upstairs had started to bring down the luggage.

Jarrett approached Kieran and said, โ€œMr. Sutton, everything is ready.โ€
