Freya pped Lnd across the face.


    Lnd was stunned, frozen in his tracks. Perhaps he hadn''t expected Freya to strike him. At that moment, Lnd was speechless.


    "Mr. Ramsey, I''ll leave him in your hands. As for the Dawson family, my word is final. Please don''t worry about sparing our family''s dignity. Teach him a lesson."


    At first, the Ramsey family intended to let it slide, considering Freya''s engagement to the Sutton family.


    However, Lnd suddenly shouted, "Bullshit! I dare any of you to touch me! I''m Kieran''s future brother-inw! Lay a finger on me, and the Sutton family will never let you off!"


    Hearing Lnd''s outrageous im, Mr. Ramsey''s anger red, "My daughter hasn''t faced an ounce of unfairness while I''ve been around. Today, Lnd, you had the nerve to mess with her. Don''t me me for not considering our families'' rtions!"


    With that, Mr. Ramsey signaled his bodyguard to take action. In the blink of an eye, the bodyguard''s taser hit Lnd''s leg. Lnd felt a severe pain and screamed, writhing on the ground.


    "My son!" Johanna hadn''t expected the Ramsey family to intervene physically. She rushed over to check on Lnd''s condition.


    Seeing Lnd unable to stand, Johanna red at the Ramsey family, eximing, "It is the Dawson family''s gathering! How dare youy hands here! No matter what, we''re future inws to the Sutton family! There''s a saying, ''Even when you beat a dog, you must look at its owner!'' You''ve gone too far!"


    Johanna whipped around to look at Freya, "Freya, are you really gonna stand by while your brother gets hassled? What kind of sister does that make you!"


    Freya replied indifferently, "Johanna, Lnd brought this upon himself. He must face the consequences. I''ve handed him over to the Ramsey family. Please, let''s not lose any more dignity for our family."


    "You! Heartless traitor! He''s your brother!" Johanna was frantic, her appearance disheveled.


    The event was filled with notable figures from Echo City, none of whom behaved as Johanna did.


    Soon, the guests began to leave, unwilling to witness any more of this disgrace. After all, most attended for business connections.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    Lnd had first caused Kieran to leave, attempted to misbehave with Mr. Ramsey''s daughter, and then openly defied them. Hisck of manners was apparent.


    "Mr. Ramsey, it was Lnd''s fault,


    and I will ensure he prepares a formal apology to deliver to your house for your daughter. I''ll arrange for transportation for you to leave immediately." Freya was respectful and sincere, without any pretense.


    Mr. Ramsey merely nodded, leading his wife and daughter out without a word.


    Soon, the hall was empty.


    Johanna was stunned for a


    moment. When she realized


    everyone was gone, she shouted, "Today is my son''s birthday celebration! How can you all teave like this?"


    "Dear Johanna!" Freya gave Johanna, sitting on the ground clutching Lnd, a cold nce. "Today, you''ve tarnished the Dawson family''s reputation. Clean up the mess yourself."

    "You!" Johanna felt somehow that Freya was involved in the day''s events, but Freya and Luna had turned and left.


    At that moment, Johanna felt overwhelmed, copsing to the ground.
