The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday

Chapter 406

It was already evening, and Leland had been pacing around his house, restlessly waiting for a call from Freya. But there was no word from her, not even a beep from his phone.

The moment Leland noticed a car pulling up outside the Dawson estate, one bearing the Dawson Corporation logo, he dashed out the door.

He barely caught a glimpse of Freya stepping out of the car before he exploded, "Why the hell didn't you answer my calls, Freya? Do you have any idea what's happened at home? We need to head to the police station right now and bail my mom out!" His tone was demanding, his grip on Freya's arm unyielding as he started to drag her towards the direction of the police station.

However, Freya pushed Leland away, catching him completely off-guard.

"What the hell, Freya! You dare push me?" Leland was astounded. He had always strutted around the house with an air of invincibility. He hadn't expected Freya to ever push back.

Just as Leland was about to retaliate, Alison stepped in between them. With a simple, effortless pull, he neutralized Leland's aggression.

"Alison! Have you lost your mind too? You dare lay a hand on me? You're nothing but a lapdog to the Dawsons! Think I won't fire you on the spot?"

Leland's threats were empty, his voice laced with impotence.
