The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday

Chapter 62

The following morning, word had spread that the Sutton family would hold a press clarification meeting.

Audrey slammed the newspaper on the table inside the Sutton Mansion, standing up in anger, "This is madness!"

"Mrs. Sutton..." The family's aide picked up the newspaper, her face changing as she read about today's press meeting to clarify the relationship between Kieran and Freya.

"How could such a big decision be made without consulting me?" Audrey demanded coldly, "What on earth happened? Jarrett, explain yourself!"

Summoned to Audrey's presence, Jarrett stammered, "Mrs. Sutton... last night, during Ms. Harwood's birthday bash... A joke was made at Ms. Dawson's expense, and Ms. Dawson proposed calling off her engagement. Mr. Sutton... agreed."

"Eloise again?" Audrey, who already disliked Eloise, grew even angrier upon hearing Eloise had caused Kieran and Freya's breakup. "Well, isn't she relentless? Take me to the venue! I want to see who dares to hold this press meeting without my approval!" Jarrett hesitated, "Madam, the press meeting has started..."

"Insolence!" Audrey exclaimed, "To think my grandson would forsake such a wonderful girl as Freya for that siren!"

Determined, Audrey declared, "If you don't drive, I'll go myself!"

Seeing Audrey's determination, Jarrett finally gave in, "Please, Mrs. Sutton, try to stay calm. I'll take you there right away."
