"Got it." With a nce at the notification on his phone, Ronan quickly texted Freya.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Ronan: [It''s all set.]


    Freya read Ronan''s message, a slight smirk forming on her lips.


    This time, Johanna was in for a rude awakening. Word had spread like wildfire. Thanks to Johanna, the Dawson family had booked the grand ballroom at the Majestic Manor Hotel. She had been quite reluctant when it came to footing the bill.


    But armed with this token of status, Johanna couldn''t stop boasting over the phone, as if afraid someone might miss the news about her booking the grandest hall at the Majestic Manor Hotel.


    After school, Freya made a detour straight back to the Dawson family.


    As soon as she walked in, she could hear Johanna on the phone, extending invites to the high societydies for the uing party. "Mrs. Brown, my son''s birthday bash is at the Majestic Manor Hotel. I''ve booked the grandest ballroom they have. You muste and grace us with your presence!"


    Freya listened silently to Johanna''s conversation,ughing coldly to herself. ''Enjoy your moment now. On the day of the banquet, yourughter will end.''


    Johanna had noticed Freya''s return and promptly ended her call.


    Looking displeased, Johanna asked, "Why are you back?"


    Freya retorted, "This is my home. Why can''t Ie back?"


    Seeing Freya change her shoes and walk in, Johanna remarked, "Mr. Sutton had all your belongings moved. Have you informed him about your return?" "What''s the matter, Johanna? Eager for me to stay at the Sutton Mansion?"


    "Of course! A young woman must secure her future, especially now that you''re engaged. Living there isn''t bad You have to keep Mr. Sutton close and ensure your


    is secure. It''s the only way the Dawson Group will have a strong backing."


    Johanna followed Freya into the living room, continuing her tirade. But noticing Freya''s indifference, she grew suspicious, "Don''t tell me Mr. Sutton kicked you out?" Johanna had been too preupied with Lnd''s affairs to notice any tension between Freya and Kieran.


    Noticing Freya''s stoic expression, Johanna became anxious. "Did you upset Mr. Sutton? How could you be so foolish! You should be getting closer to him, not getting kicked out!" Johanna was fuming. "Our Dawson Group just caught a break. If we offend Mr. Sutton, what will be of the Dawson Group?"


    "Why are you panicking, Johanna? The Dawson Group has nothing to do with you anymore. Even if thepany runs out of money of goes bankrupt, it doesn''t seem it would affect you."

    Johanna felt a tightness in her chest when Freya mentioned it. She couldn''t forget how Freya had exposed her and Galen''s misdeeds at thepany, making her theughingstock. She had lost all face to show up at thepany.


    Yet, undeterred, Johanna imed,


    "Even if thepany doesn''t concern me, I''m still your mother. I have to look out for you! Can''t you appreciate the good intentions of others?"


    Freyaughed it off, aware Johanna''s sudden concern for thepany was merely her scheming to regain control once Freya was married off.
