Chapter 71

Freya's eyes twinkled with mirth, her voice brimming with certainty.

Seeing Freya so confident, Eloise's face soured even more. "Cindy, Mae, please. Let's get out of here!"

"Hold on," Freya said with an icy tone, looking at them squarely. "I don't remember giving you permission to leave."

"Freya, even Eloise is willing to let this go. What more do you want?"

Freya glanced at the scattered food remains on the floor, turned to them, and said, "Have you heard of 'waste not, want not'? Is this how your parents taught you to squander food?"

Mae stepped forward, her voice sarcastic. "You think we're clueless, huh? The Dawson family is on its last legs. Without tying the knot with the Sutton family, you're nothing but a Ms. Dawson surviving solely on Mr. Sutton's charity. And here you are, putting on airs?" Mae scanned the crowd deliberately and added, "Is the Dawson family so broke that they can't even afford a meal? Ms. Dawson, I've heard tales of you groveling to Mr. Sutton, shining his shoes, and waiting on Audrey hand and foot like a maid. You've secured your spot as the future Mrs. Sutton because of Audrey's favor."

With a provocative glance at Freya, Mae continued, "If you grovel before us as well, this meal's on us."

"Yeah, everyone knows our school cafeteria charges an arm and a leg. And look, Ms. Dawson's plate seems to be missing any meat. Must be hard times, huh?"

Previously put in her place by Freya, Cindy suddenly said, looking smugly at Freya as if she'd caught her in a trap.
