Kieran''s face was ufortably close to hers.


    In the past, a gesture like this from Kieran would have made Freya blush.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    But this time, Freya pushed Kieran away, frowning as she said, "Mr. Sutton, we''re at the office. Show some decorum, please."


    "Decorum, you say?" Kieran seemed to find the notion amusing.


    He leaned closer to Freya, saying, "Who was it that used toe looking for me three times a day at the office, bending over backward to please me? Where was your concern for decorum then, hmm?"


    As Kieran closed in, Freya sidestepped him and said, "Back then, I was young and naive, Mr. Sutton. Please don''t hold it against me."


    Looking around, she added, "Mr. Sutton, this is thedies'' restroom. Even if we need to talk, this hardly seems the appropriate ce, does it?"


    Hearing that, Kieran stared at Freya, his gaze taking on a scrutinizing quality.


    ""Mr. Sutton?"


    "Come to my office." Kieran''s usual calm demeanor returned.


    Following him to his office, Freya saw him sit behind his desk. He looked at her and said, "Lnd kidnapped you yesterday. By all ounts, I should have him thrown in jail."


    Freya had always doted on Lnd, cleaning up his messes no matter what trouble he got into. Despite Lnd''s consistently terrible attitude toward her, Freya had always beenpliant. After Kieran finished speaking, he awaited Freya''s reaction.


    Sitting opposite him, Freya said, "By all ounts, that should happen. I''ve wanted to see Johanna and her son behind bars for a long time now."


    Freya spoke honestly. Ever since her rebirth, she had extended every kindness to Johanna and Lnd without reciprocation.


    Remembering her previous naivety,


    Freyaughed and said, "I thought


    about calling the police, but I


    couldn''t resist Johanna''s pleading. After all, Lnd is the Dawson


    family''s only son, isn''t he?"


    "But from what I''ve heard, Lnd isn''t a Dawson by blood. You''re half-siblings with no real familial ties, right?"


    Faced with Kieran''s question, Freya responded, "Though Lnd and I don''t share both parents, he still


    carries the Dawson name. It''d bet


    scandal to air such dirtyundry publicly. Mr. Sutton, we are engaged, after all. You wouldn''t want tumors about your fiancée nearly vited, would you?"


    l.ne


    In their circles, things could get twisted in all sorts of ways. Though Freya wasn''t vited, the rumor mill could work overtime. Having a fiancée smeared by such scandal would also cause Kieran trouble.


    "He''s in the Sutton family''s basement."


    Seeing Freya rise to leave immediately after getting what she wanted, Kieran frowned and asked, "Is this the only reason you came here today?"


    "Thank you, Mr. Sutton."
