But for the sake of her son, Johanna still put her signature on that contract.
Holding the contract in her hand, Freya smiled contentedly.
Johanna said, “Reya, look. I’ve signed the contract. I wouldn’t lie to you. Please rescue Leland from Mr. Sutton’s clutches. If anything were to happen to him, what would I do?”
Anxiety was all over Johanna’s face. She was eager to doll up Leland, with only half a day left until the birthday bash at Majestic Manor Hotel.
After all, securing a match with a wealthy heiress could solve all their financial worries for the rest of their lives.
Freya said, “Okay, I’ll head to the Sutton Group and speak with Mr. Sutton.”
Rsing to her feet, Johanna finally let out a sigh of relief.
Freya added, “Johanna, transfer the money quickly. We have a contract, after all.”
Hearing Freya’s words made Johanna wince internally. She cursed, ‘That darn brat!’
After dealing with Johanna’s issue, Freya left the Dawson residence. Once in her car, she debated whether to head to the Sutton Mansion or the Sutton Group.
After a moment of thought, she dialed Jarrett’s number.
Jarrett quickly answered the phone. Freya asked, “Jarrett, where’s Leland right now?”
Silence lingered on the other end for a moment.
“Jarrett?” Freya repeated, puzzled.
Then, she heard Kieran’s chilly voice. “You called just to ask this?”
Startled by Kieran’s voice, Freya glanced at her phone to ensure she hadn’t dialed the wrong number, then asked, “Kieran?”
Why would Kieran answer a call meant for Jarrett?
“Leland’s at the office. If you want him, come get him yourself,” Kieran said before hanging up.
Compared to Kieran’s previously temperamental demeanor, he now seemed much colder and more detached.
Freya frowned slightly. Had her closeness with Preston the day before caused Kieran to loathe her? As Freya considered this, her brows smoothed out. If that was the case, she couldn’t be happier.
Freya set down her phone, and her mood instantly brightened. She hoped Kieran would despise her even more. Ideally, he would break off their engagement so they could go their separate ways forever.
With that thought, Freya pressed on the accelerator, heading straight for the Sutton Group.
