Freya was getting her lunch at the cafeteria. Cindy spotted her and immediately felt her blood boil. Grabbing Eloise by the arm, Cindy dered, "Let''s go! We''re going to make her exin herself!" Eloise tried to intervene, but Cindy was already storming toward Freya.


    Then came a loud tter. Freya''s tray was knocked to the ground.


    With fury written all over her face, Cindy pped 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 p, and used, "Did you hire online trolls to badmouth Eloise?"


    Themotion drew everyone''s attention in the cafeteria, all eyes on the unfolding drama.


    Facing Cindy''s usation, Freya looked up, scrutinizing the two unfamiliar faces before her. Dressed in trendy brands with luxury essories 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 Freyaugh.


    She retorted, "My dear, do you even understand an arranged marriage? For someone from Summit University, you''re making quite the hrious usation. The Sutton Group and the Dawson Group are merging for business, a grown-up deal. By all ounts, I''m Kieran''s fiancée, who''ll be legally recognized as his wife. So, who''s theN?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    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 shecks standing and ess to the Sutton family, which means she can''t be Mrs.


    Sutton. If you marry someone


    don''t love, can you truly me another woman andbel hepa 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''t want Eloise."
