Seeing Kara still hadn''t revealed Freya''s whereabouts, Kieran''s expression grew increasingly impatient. "Where is Freya?"


    Kara noticed Kieran''s mood and quickly said, "I... I''ll tell you, but please, Mr. Sutton, don''t be mad."


    "Speak."


    "I saw Freya leaving with Mr. Tyler." As Kara spoke, she couldn''t resist spicing up the story. "Freya should know better. Here is school, not a ce for her to be all over Mr. Tyler. Many people saw them, and they''re all talking about it. I wanted to tell you privately, Mr. Sutton, to save you the embarrassment. But please don''t be mad at Freya. At most, she''s just being a bit thoughtless. She cares about you, Mr. Sutton."


    Hearing Kara''s words, Kieran''s face darkened.


    ''Truly cares about me? If Freya cared, why would she leave with Preston without a word? And to be so publicly affectionate!''


    The thought was enough to stir Kieran''s anger. ''Does Freya even understand her ce?''


    Seeing Kieran''s grim expression, Kara knew she had achieved her goal.


    "Mr. Sutton... I''m only telling you this to clear up any misunderstandings between you and Freya. Don''t be upset. Maybe Mr. Tyler had something important to discuss with her."


    It was clear why Preston hade for Freya at the school in broad daylight.


    Kieran''s expression turned icy.


    Everyone knew Preston hadn''t bothered to interact with anyone since he arrived in Echo City, let alone be seen in an intimate setting with a woman. That only confirmed how special Freya was to Preston. Kieran said coldly, "You can get out of the car now."


    "Mr. Sutton..." Kara wanted to say more, but Jarrett had opened the passenger door.


    Kara didn''t see any other options, so she bit her lip and stepped out of the car.


    Once Jarrett was back in the car and saw Kieran''s stern face in the rearview mirror, he couldn''t help but ask,


    Mr. Sutton, what sewe do


    next?"


    "Search." Kieran''s eyes shed with a cold light. "Check all hotel records. I want to know where Freya and Preston have gone!"


    "Yes, Mr. Sutton."


    Meanwhile, at the Echo City Hotel, Freya watched Preston take her ID and hand it to the front desk.


    Freya couldn''t help butugh in frustration. "You bring me here early to check into a hotel? Mr. Tyler, are you serious?"


    "It''s just registration, not checking


    in." Preston seemed unfazed, his voice cold as he said, "It''s


    talk bere, less likely to be t


    "But..."


    This could easily lead to misunderstandings, couldn''t it?


    Freya took a deep breath, and once she got her ID back, she tucked it into her bag.


    "Mr. Tyler, you''re something else. A guy who doesn''t even obey the overseas is suddenly all about

    couldn''t help but tease him.


    She couldn''t understand why a man of Preston''s stature, wealthy, powerful, and with a vast empire, would fall for Eloise''s charms.


    Perhaps sensing Freya''s scrutinizing gaze, Preston suddenly stopped, causing Freya to catch her breath.
