Chapter 70
Freya was getting her lunch at the cafeteria Cindy spotted her and immediately felt her blood boil Grabbing Eloise by the arm, Cindy declared, “Let’s go! We’m going to make her explain herself!”
Eloise tried to intervene, but Cindy was already storming foward Freya
Then came a loud clatter. Freya’s tray was knocked to the ground.
With fury
y written all over her face, Cindy slapped Freya hard across the left cheek
Seeing this, Eloise quickly grabbed Cindy, pleading. “Cindy, stop it!”
“Don’t tell me what to do!” Cindy snapped, pulling away from Eloise. She then turned to Freya, whose cheek was reddened from a slap. and accused, “Did you hire online trolls to badmouth Eloise?”
The commotion drew everyone’s attention in the cafeteria, all eyes on the unfolding drama.
Facing Cindy’s accusation, Freya looked up, scrutinizing the two unfamiliar faces before her. Dressed in trendy brands with luxury accessories that screamed nouveau riche but were not quite top–tier, it was clear their families were loaded but not among the wealthiest
They hadn’t skipped Eloise’s birthday party the day before yesterday because they didn’t want to go; they just weren’t in the same league!
Freya countered, “And you are…
“Never mind who I am! You’re picking on Eloise because you think you’re all that, being a Dawson heiress. Well, let me tell you something. Mr. Sutton prefers Eloise, not you, Freya! You’re a homewrecker!”
Cindy’s righteous indignation was almost enough to make Freya laugh.
She retorted, “My dear, do you even understand an arranged marriage? For someone from Summit University, you’re making quite the hilarious accusation. The Sutton Group and the Dawson Group are merging for business, a grown–up deal. By all accounts, I’m Kieran’s fiancée, who’ll be legally recognized as his wife. So, who’s the homewrecker here?”
Unable to out–argue Freya, Cindy turned red with frustration and spat, “If it weren’t for Audrey’s disapproval of Eloise, you wouldn’t have a shot with Mr. Sutton. How dare you stand there and act all high and mighty?”
“You’re right. Audrey disapproves of Ms. Harwood, so she lacks standing and access to the Sutton family, which means she can’t be Mrs. Sutton. If you marry someone you don’t love, can you truly blame another woman and label her a homewrecker if your husband shows affection towards her?”
Freya continued calmly, “I suppose when your husband cheats on you with the woman he truly loves, you’d rather scream seductress than admit you’re a third wheel, ready to step aside.”
Cindy was at a loss for words, managing indignantly, “You!”
At that moment, Mae interrupted, “Enough with your high and mighty act, Freya. Word is, the Dawson Group is going bankrupt. Whether you even qualify to marry into the Suttons family is debatable. Kieran will be the first to dump you when you’re broke.”
“I don’t know if Kieran will want me,” Freya replied, “but I do know he won’tChapter 70
