The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday

Chapter 139

"Ms. Dawson's ID went missing at the venue and ended up in my hands. And what do you know, my assistant here was without an ID as well, so we thought, 'Why not use it for a bit?' Mr. Sutton, you know how it is. The folks we deal with aren't the cleanest. Living in a law- abiding place like Echo City can be a challenge." Though Preston said this with a casual shrug, Kieran wasn't buying it for a second. "I'd rather have my people take a thorough look around. Anyway, someone saw you two leaving Summit University together."

"Who saw us?" Preston's interest piqued, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes. "I'd like to meet this person."

In Echo City, or anywhere else, no one dared cross Preston.

Kieran knew she wouldn't dare point a finger at Freya and Preston in his presence even if he called Kara over.

Jarrett approached and informed Kieran, "We've searched everywhere, Mr. Sutton. There's no sign of Ms. Dawson."

"If you can't find her, keep looking till you do," Kieran ordered, his voice cold as ice. "The hotel's not that enormous. There's no way Freya has suddenly grown wings and flown off."

"Understood," Jarrett immediately ordered more staff to continue the search.

Uninterested in the ongoing drama, Preston announced, "Mr. Sutton, enjoy your search. I'll be on my way."

With that, Preston swiped his card and disappeared into his room.

Meanwhile, Freya had slipped away from the Echo City Hotel unnoticed, thanks to a borrowed hat.
