Freya couldn''t help but smile, saying, "Of course, it''s..."


    "Of course, it''s fake!" Suddenly, a voice sounded from outside the door.


    Everyone couldn''t help but look toward the grand hall entrance as the doors swung open. There stood Audrey, exuding an aura ofmand as she stepped inside.


    Upon seeing Audrey, Freya''s brows furrowed. Audrey seldom went out, so what brought her there? Did someone leak the news about her and Kieran calling off their engagement? From the back, Eloise saw Audrey, and her expression shifted subtly.


    Who in Echo City didn''t know Audrey held Freya in high regard as her future granddaughter-inw? The sh of the journalists'' cameras kept flickering on Audrey.


    "Grandma..." Kieran stood up, but Audrey paid him no mind, walking directly to the space between Kieran and Freya.


    Noticing the cue, a staff member swiftly brought a chair for Audrey.


    Audrey looked at Freya dotingly, took her hand, and said, "This press conference by the Sutton Group is to rify the misunderstanding from thest engagement party."


    Audrey continued, "At the previous engagement party for Freya and Kieran, I suddenly fell ill, which led Kieran to rush to the hospital, causing the engagement to be interrupted. It was maliciously spected by unscrupulous media, leading to rumors of a breakup. These rumors of a breakup are entirely unfounded, and today''s press conference is to clear up these false allegations."


    The journalists looked at each other, puzzled by Audrey''s statement.


    Freya was about to speak, but Audrey held her hand tightly.


    Before the cameras, Audrey maintained her smile while Freya''s brows were slightly furrowed.


    It wasn''t that she didn''t want to humor Audrey, but she didn''t want to miss the chance to cancel the engagement with Kieran!


    A journalist asked, "There are


    rumors that Mr. Sutton ran away


    from the engagement party because his first love, Ms. Harwood, attempted suicide. Is this rumor true?"


    "Of course not!" Audrey responded coldly. "Kieran and Ms. Harwood are friends nothing more. Besides, Kieran is already with Freya. How could he abandon his fiancée for someone else?"


    Despite Audrey''s words, the whole of Echo City knew Kieran''s heart belonged to Eloise. If it weren''t fore Audrey''s disapproval of Eloise


    entering the Sutton family, Frol ne


    wouldn''t even be in the picture.


    Audrey saw the journalists'' disbelief and said, "Ms. Harwood is also present today. I believe she''s here to rify the events of that night."


    After saying that, Audrey scanned the staff nearby and said, "Please invite Ms. Harwood up."


    Eloise felt a shiver down her spine from her spot among the audience when she heard Audrey''s invitation.


    The staff member said, "Ms. Harwood, please."N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Eloise nearly had to force herself to remainposed as she followed a staff member onto the stage,


    At that moment, all the journalists'' shes focused on Eloise.


    Despite how well-matched Eloise and Kieran seemed to people, how could the inte notbel Eloise as the other woman?


    Knowing Kieran was engaged, yet deliberately causing a scene at their engagement party. If it was not to dere her territory, then what? Eloise felt ufortable under the scrutinizing gaze of the audience.
