The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday
Chapter 327

Ronan was the first to hop out of the car, immediately offering a hand to help Freya down.

The moment Freya appeared, a collective gasp rippled through the crowd. Freya's beauty was otherworldly, and her eyes captivated anyone who dared a glance, which seemingly had a magical allure that drew people in. "Is this Susan, the CEO of W Group?"

"With those looks, no wonder Mr. Beckett is head over heels for her all these years."

Whispers of awe filled the air.

Both striking in their own right, Ronan and Freya made a visually stunning pair, captivating onlookers whenever they were together.

Kieran was also momentarily dazzled upon seeing her, but it didn't take long for him to spot something amiss as the person before him bore a striking resemblance to Freya.

"How odd, isn't Ms. Susan's dress identical to Ms. Harwood's?" Someone in the crowd couldn't help but comment, drawing attention to the fact that Freya's evening gown was remarkably similar to Eloise's.

The only distinction was the luxurious white fox fur stole draped over Freya's shoulders, setting her apart and elevating her aura far beyond Eloise's.

Eloise's smile began to falter. A fashion faux pas was one thing, but to clash with the night's leading lady? It wasn't about wearing the same dress. It was about who wore it better.

When folks first laid eyes on Freya, it was her drop-dead gorgeous looks that grabbed their attention. But with Eloise, it was her dress that popped before anything else. The contrast was night and day.

For Eloise, the dress flattered her. But for Freya, she flattered the dress.

After realizing it, Eloise felt here

lodged in her chest, making her breathless. What made matters

worse was noticing Kieran's gaze on Freya's face.

"Kieran." Eloise couldn't help but call out to him.

At that moment, arm in arm with Freya, Ronan approached Kieran and Eloise. "Mr. Sutton, she's caught your eye, has she?"

Ronan's sudden quip snapped Kieran back to reality, also striking a blow to Eloise's pride. Ignoring his date in favor of another's was an insult.

Eloise forced a smile, attempting to

smooth things over. "Everyone appreciates beauty. I suppose. Kieran was curious about the woman who has enchanted Mr. Beckett for so long."

"As you can see, she truly is a beauty unlike any other, right, Susan?" Ronan turned the conversation toward Freya.

Freya struggled to maintain her composure. What was he thinking, putting her on the spot like that?

"Indeed, it seems Mr. Sutton and I

have the same opinion about

beauty Birds of a feather flock

together, as they say." Freya's voice was soft and gentle.

Kieran, however, frowned deeper. Though the voice differed, she reminded him so much of Freya.

With all eyes on them, Kieran extended his hand. "Ms. Susan, I've heard so much about you."
