Freya was well aware of Audrey''s disposition. Audrey would take charge at the office early in the morning as the fiancée was involved in a scandal that rocked the Sutton family. Sure enough, when Freya arrived, Audrey was already there. "Freya, what on earth happenedst night? I want the full story," Audrey demanded, her presencemanding.


    Freya replied with neither submissiveness nor arrogance, "Last night, Lnd, in a moment of folly, offended Ms. Ramsey, attempting to force himself on her after having too much to drink..."


    Freya slightly furrowed her brows as Audrey continued, "Lnd is neen this year, isn''t he? How can he not control himself? I''ve heard he''s been bragging about being the Sutton family''s future brother-inw. What? Does he think the Sutton family will cover for him if he messes up?"


    "Ridiculous!" Audrey mmed her fist on the desk, causing Jarrett to hold his tongue.


    "Grandmother, I''ll handle it."


    "And how do you n to handle it?" Audrey threw a look at Kieran and said, "What, by breaking off the engagement with the Dawson family?"


    A faint smile appeared on Freya''s lips at the mention of breaking off the engagement. She had allowed Lnd to misbehave at the party because she knew Audrey''s temperament.


    Lnd caused a simr scandal at the party in her previous life, offending the Ramsey family. Freya repeatedly apologized to the Ramsey family on Lnd''s behalf, which resulted in the Sutton family losing face. Audrey had started to dislike Freya after that. Freya had gone to great lengths to regain Audrey''s favor, doing whatever it took.


    It wasn''t until then that Audrey had finally epted her back as the Sutton family''s fiancée. But in this life, she had no intention of trying so hard with Audrey.


    Her act of spoiling Lnd was just aBelonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.

    "Grandmother, the Ramsey family is of no concern to me," Kieran said calmly. "Besides, Reya apologized to Mr. Ramsey and his familyst night. Lnd made this mistake, and Mr. Ramsey has reprimanded him. It has nothing to do with Reya."


    Kieran''s constant use of "Reya" made Freya inwardly cringe. Who was itst night that, disregarding her feelings, showed up at the dinner party with Eloise? Then, he was putting on a show, ying the protective fiancé.


    "That might be true, but now with the Dawson family''s reputation..." Audrey''s eyes went cold as she looked at Freya. "Freya, I need to rethink your engagement with Kieran."

    Freya said, "Audrey,st night''s incident has tarnished the Sutton family''s reputation. I know I''m not fit to be Mrs. Sutton and do not wish to hold Mr. Sutton back..."


    Before Freya could finish her heartfelt speech, Kieran sensed what she was about to say. His brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, and before his brain could catch up, his body moved swiftly to Freya''s side.


    Kieran took Freya''s hand, saying, "Grandma, what Reya means is, from now on, she will fulfill her duties diligently and be a qualified Mrs. Sutton. There will be no repeat ofst night''s incident." Hearing that, Freya furrowed her brows, wanting to pull her hand away, but Kieran''s grip was unexpectedly firm, leaving her no chance to break free.


    What on earth was Kieran ying at?
