The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday

Chapter 126

Kieran never expected Audrey to show up at his place, especially since she had moved out days ago, promising not to intrude unannounced.

But there she was, and seeing those pictures spread out all over the table made Kieran's mood turn all frosty.

"This has nothing to do with Ellie." Kieran jumped to Eloise's defense, prompting Freya to chuckle with a self-deprecating.

She should have known better. Even if Kieran knew Eloise was behind this, he'd turn a blind eye. In Kieran's world, right and wrong didn't exist when it was about Eloise. He'd always take her side, no questions asked.

But this time, Freya wasn't willing to let Eloise off the hook. It wasn't the naïve Freya from before. This time, she wouldn't let Eloise's tricks leave her scrambling in the dark.

"It has nothing to do with Eloise? Then who is to blame?" Audrey's expression darkened as she said, "I've told you to keep your distance from that woman from the Harwood family! She's no good, just as hypocritical as her parents!"

Sitting on the couch, Audrey went on, "This is really hitting Freya hard! Those two spreading all those lies about her should get what's coming to them. Let the cops handle them, whether it's a fine or locking them up. We can't let their rumors look like they're true." "Yes, Grandma." Kieran complied, glancing coldly at Freya as he left as if she were a stranger.
