The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday

Chapter 266

Meanwhile, Freya was back at her apartment with Luna in tow.

Freya sprawled out on the bed, laptop open and buzzing with the chaos of her new startup's demands, when Luna burst in with excitement. "Freya! You've got to see what's happening in our school's newcomer group chat!" "What's up?"

"Just look!" In a flash, Luna handed her phone to Freya, pointing at a photo of Kara. "Isn't that Kara?"

"It is."

Kara was unmistakable, her features clear in the close-up shot.

Luna fumed. "I knew it! That woman is up to no good. She's gunning for your old spot!"

"What spot?" Freya was puzzled, clueless about what Luna meant.

"Of course, she wants to replace you as Kieran's fiancée! Look. Everyone in the group's saying she was picked up by a Sutton family limo before class today! Pics, or it didn't happen, right?"

Upon hearing that, Freya's interest was piqued. True enough, her phone was ablaze with gossip about Kara and Kieran's relationship.
