The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday

Chapter 412

The guests at the event couldn't help but notice the unfolding drama.

It was no secret that Kieran had been openly disdainful of Freya, but now, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he seemed uncharacteristically concerned for her.

Seeing the reaction of those around her, Freya, as if she had anticipated this, withdrew her hand and said, "Thanks for the hand, Mr. Sutton."

Kieran quickly realized he had been played by Freya.

Given the previous standoffish attitude of The Sutton Group towards The Dawson Group, it led many to believe that the Suttons and the Dawsons were at odds. This had resulted in a dry spell of partnerships for the Dawsons. But now, with Kieran showing a softer side towards Freya, it was likely that many would be knocking on the Dawson family's door.

"Freya, are you using me?"

Kieran was taken aback. He hadn't realized Freya was so scheming.

He had always thought of Freya as naive, but it seemed he was the one who was truly clueless.

"Mr. Sutton, isn't it true that we're just using each other? There's nothing wrong with that," Freya replied with a shrug.

After all, Kieran had used her in the past; it was merely her turn now.
