Freya locked eyes with Kieran and said calmly, "Mr. Sutton, you can't expect fidelity in marriage when you've been anything but faithful. Besides, we're not married yet. Nothing's set in stone. Whether I will marry you is still up in the air, so your anger seems misplaced." After saying that, Freya stood up, offered Kieran a faint smile, and continued, "Remember when you and Eloise were cozy together, heh? I didn't make a big fuss about it. Since you picked me as your fiancée, you should've seen all this coming. I'd appreciate it if you'd stay
out of my business. You need to learn to tolerate me without losing your cool."
Freya was mercilessly using Kieran's words against him.
She recalled the first time she saw Kieran and Eloise together. They were so intimate. Kieran came over and told her, "Since you've agreed to be my fiancée, you should be ready for everything that comes with it. It's best if you don't meddle in my affairs. Your only job is to put up with it." And Freya was throwing his words back at him.
As expected, Kieran's face darkened, his gaze on Freya filled with anger. "Freya, even if you and Ronan want your little moments, there's a time and place for it! Going after someone in front of the whole school and humiliating Ellie like that! Don't you think you've gone too far?"
Freya responded, "I've done what I did. What would you have me do, Mr. Sutton?"
"Apologize to Eloise and her classmates before the whole school. Should I need to spell it out for you?"
Faced with Kieran's blatant bias towards Eloise, Freya retorted, "Mr. Sutton, you come here with a whole entourage demanding explanations from me without asking what led to this. Why not ask why I felt the need to strike someone?"
Kieran answered, "What else could it be but those rumors? Ellie's already been cyberbullied. Isn't that enough for you? What more do you want?"
Hearing Kieran's words, Ronan couldn't hold back any longer. He stood up and interjected, "Excuse me for a second. Kieran, no offense, but are you blind?"
Ronan stepped forward, pointing at Freya's face. "Do you not see something on Ms. Dawson's face? Those clear slap marks, are they invisible to you?"
At this, Kieran frowned. He had been
too angry to notice the marks on Freya's face. The red marks weren't overly apparent under the blue light but were unmistakably thereupon closer inspection. Narugi
"Mr. Sutton, it seems your eyes aren't completely useless, so you should be able to figure out who left that stap." Ronan's tone was icy as he added, "Ms. Dawson was merely giving as good as she got.
"Ronan, what are you implying?"
"If you're so curious, why not ask Ms. Harwood? That would make more sense, wouldn't it?"
Ronan continued coldly, "I don't like being disturbed while eating, Mr. Sutton. Please take your people and leave us to enjoy our meal."
"Ronan, remember Freya is my fiancée." Kieran's move to wrap his arm around Freya's waist was a declaration of possession, prompting Ronan to laugh.
"Is that so? Had Mr. Sutton not
mentioned it, I'd have been none the wiser. Judging by how vehemently you defended Ms. Harwood's honor, I'd think most people wouldn't realize who your fiancée is
Ronan's words made Kieran's expression darker.
Freya smoothly extracted herself from Kieran's embrace and said, "Kieran, what do you want? Either speak your peace or take your leave. Don't disturb our meal."
Seeing Freya so blatantly side with Ronan, Kieran grew colder. "Grandma sent me to bring you back. You either come with me now or never be in the Sutton family again." Freya raised an eyebrow and replied, "Is that so, Mr. Sutton? That's fantastic. I choose the latter."
