The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday

Chapter 224

Kieran's gaze was sharp, piercing through the tension, "Freya, what exactly were you up to today? Out with it!"

Pain shot through Freya's arm, causing her to gasp sharply. Yet, she faced Kieran defiantly, pain be damned, and retorted, "What I did today, Mr. Sutton, wasn't all of it laid bare at the hospital? Why bother asking again?" "Playing dumb now, are we?" Kieran's words carried a chilling edge as he confronted her, "You had someone trash Ellie's place tonight, didn't you?"

Freya blinked in surprise. Trashed Eloise's place?

"Freya, stop playing the innocent card! Yes, someone close to Ellie crossed you, but what does that have to do with Ellie herself? I had no idea you were this vindictive. Had I known, I would've had you expelled from Summit University!" Hearing Kieran indiscriminately pinning the blame on her, indignation surged within Freya, "Kieran! I didn't do it!"

"Not you? Do you really expect me to believe that? You've been jealous of Ellie for ages. I thought at most you'd play some hard-to-get games, but to target Ellie directly?"

Each of Kieran's words felt like sharp needles against Freya's spine.
