Unbelievably, Freya hit the jackpot! She caught the eye of Ronan! But if she ended up in Hanley''s bed, wasn''t that like pping Ronan in the face?


    As Freya was about to head upstairs, Johanna realized the gravity of the situation. She rushed over, grabbed Freya''s arm, and blurted out, "Freya, wait! I was out of my mind. I did it all for you! Please talk to Mr. Beckett. Tell him not to take it to heart!" Before Johanna could finish, Freya shrugged her off. Johanna almost tumbled down the stairs.


    Lnd hurried over to support Johanna, ring at Freya. "Freya! My mom has apologized. What more do you want?"


    Looking down from the stairs, Freya''s gaze was icy. "Johanna, you have to pay for the bad things you do. This suit is Mr. Beckett''s. What if you ruined it?"


    Johanna''s face turned pale when she saw the ck suit draped over Freya. Everything Freya said was true!


    Freya smiled. "No rush, Johanna. We''ll settle our scores once I call off the engagement with the Sutton family tomorrow."N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    As Freya was about to head upstairs, Johanna quickly grabbed her wrist again, saying, "What? You''re calling off the engagement? How can you do that? Ronan might not even marry you. If you call it off, thepany will be in debt! The Sutton Group will never let ourpany off the hook! How can you be so thoughtless!"


    "Did you forget, Johanna? We signed a contract. You have nothing to do with thepany now. What I do is none of your concern." With that, Freya shook Johanna off and headed upstairs without looking back.


    "You!" Johanna was seething with rage. What would she and her son do if the Dawson Group ran out of money?


    "Mom! Did you seriously hand thepany over to Freya?"


    Lnd had been listening the whole time, and faced with her son''s questioning, Johanna felt guilty.


    ???


    Seeing it, Lnd believed even more in what Freya said. "Mom! Thepany was Dad''s legacy to me. How could you hand it over to that


    bitch?"  ove


    "Son, don''t worry. Freya has crossed Mr. Sutton, and she won''t have it easy! Several projects have been halted. What does she, a sheltered heiress, know about managing apany? I assure you. If she cancels the engagement with Mr. Sutton tomorrow, she''ll regret it! She''lle crawling back to us, begging for help!"


    Lnd was still fuming. "And what about Ronan? What if he decides to help Freya?"


    Johanna scoffed, "Mr. Beckett has only known Freya for a few days. Why would he spend money on her? We''re not talking about a few million here. It''s over a billion! Mr. Beckett is intrigued by something new. Once the novelty wears off, he won''t bother with Freya!"


    Hearing Johanna''s words, Lnd thought there might be some truth.


    Always throwing herself at others, Freya was a loose woman. Who would want to marry her?


    Ronan and Kieran were archenemies, so Ronan dabbled with Freya to irritate Kieran.


    Freya had thought too highly of herself!


    Johanna sneered, "Freya wants to pretend to be more than she is? Let''s see how she manages thepany without Mr. Sutton!"
