GoodNovelChapter 44 "Freya..." When Kara saw Freya, fear took hold, and she stood up, ready to back away. But Kieran grabbed her wrist.
"Just where do you think you're running off to? You're not done yet. I didn't say stop, so get back down and keep cleaning my shoes," Kieran said, his tone even and unbothered. "Yes, Mr. Sutton," Kara replied, kneeling back to polish Kieran's shoes.

Unfazed, Kieran replied, "All you need to do is apologize to Ellie on your knees. If you do that, I'll pretend none of this ever happened, and the engagement party will go on as scheduled in two days. Plus, I'll make a hefty investment in the Dawson Group." Seeing Freya remain silent, Kieran scoffed, "It's just an apology. Your knees have always been flexible, and you've knelt before. What? Can't do it now?" He stood up, walked over to Freya, and said, "If you're going to be a lapdog, at least play the part. Weren't you always so obedient?" Feeling Kieran's proximity, a chill ran through Freya.
She took a step back to put sdistance between them and eventually sat down on the couch reserved for guests."Mr. Sutton, letremind you. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for Johanna begging me. As for your threats of pulling your investment or causing trouble, I couldn't care less. And apologizing to Ms. Harwood..." Freya looked up at Kieran, a smile playing on her lips. "It's not like I held a knife to her throat and forced her to harm herself. Why should I apologize?" At her words, Kieran's smile faded.
Freya's indifferent attitude left Kieran with a knot of frustration in his chest that he couldn't untangle.
Kieran said coldly, "Think carefully before you speak, Freya." "Mr. Sutton, I've thought it through. I won't apologize," Freya said firmly. "Aska hundred times, and the answer will remain the same." The tension in the air was palpable when Kara ran to Freya, pleading, "Freya! I shouldn't have approached Mr. Sutton, but please don't be mad at him! Our company's success depends on Mr. Sutton's support! If he pulls his investment, the Dawson Group is ruined!" "Ms. Orson, letremind you. You're not a Dawson. What does the Dawson family's affairs have to do with you?" Freya's sharp retort instantly drained the color from Kara's face. "Fine! Just fine!" Kieran laughed, clearly frustrated. "You dove into a pool, got your head wet, and now you think you can talk tough!" "Thanks to you for throwing the ring into the pool, Mr. Sutton, I had an epiphany," Freya said calmly. "All I ever wanted was to be with someone I love. But how can there be love in a marriage that was never equal, to begin with? So, Mr. Sutton, not only will I not apologize, I refuse to be engaged to you. Please find someone else. If Ms. Harwood isn't an option, Ms. Orson seems a perfect fit." With that, Freya glanced at Kara, adding, "At least, she, like I once did, will do anything for you without limits." Kieran frowned at her words.
After Freya left, Kara rushed forward, blaming Freya, "Mr. Sutton, Freya is too proud... I apologize on her behalf..." "Out!" Kieran suddenly roared, causing Kara to go pale and retreat quickly.

OTT Mr.
Jarrett entered, looking troubled, Sutton... Ms. Dawson she's gone."
Kieran's expression darkened, and Jarrett didn't dare say more. The NO content is on novelenglish.net!
The office sank into a long silence before Kieran finally spokeup, "Was I ever really that bad to her?" "Do you want the truth, Mr. Sutton?" Kieran glanced at Jarrett, prompting his response.
