The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday

Chapter 187

Freya was well aware of Audrey's disposition. Audrey would take charge at the office early in the morning as the fiancée was involved in a scandal that rocked the Sutton family. Sure enough, when Freya arrived, Audrey was already there. "Freya, what on earth happened last night? I want the full story," Audrey demanded, her presence commanding.

Freya replied with neither submissiveness nor arrogance, "Last night, Leland, in a moment of folly, offended Ms. Ramsey, attempting to force himself on her after having too much to drink..."

Freya slightly furrowed her brows as Audrey continued, "Leland is nineteen this year, isn't he? How can he not control himself? I've heard he's been bragging about being the Sutton family's future brother-in-law. What? Does he think the Sutton family will cover for him if he messes up?"

"Ridiculous!" Audrey slammed her fist on the desk, causing Jarrett to hold his tongue.

"Grandmother, I'll handle it."

"And how do you plan to handle it?" Audrey threw a look at Kieran and said, "What, by breaking off the engagement with the Dawson family?"

A faint smile appeared on Freya's lips at the mention of breaking off the engagement. She had allowed Leland to misbehave at the party because she knew Audrey's temperament.

Leland caused a similar scandal at the party in her previous life, offending the Ramsey family. Freya repeatedly apologized to the Ramsey family on Leland's behalf, which resulted in the Sutton family losing face. Audrey had started to dislike Freya after that. Freya had gone to great lengths to regain Audrey's favor, doing whatever it took.

Audrey had finally accepted her back as the Sutton family's fiancée. But in this life, she had no intention of
