Once upon a time, Freya didn''t give a hoot about the Dawson family''spany. What had happened? It was like she''d be apletely different person.


    "Audrey, if nothing else, I should head upstairs to attend to the Dawson Group''s business," she said before going upstairs.


    Audrey watched Freya''s increasingly defiant manner with a frown.

    Ss could sense some juicy news. He asked, "What''s going on? Problems with Eloise?"


    "It''s not about her."


    "Then who? It can''t be Freya, can it?"
