Chapter 111

Less about Kieran. Her nigh was not set on Preston this time. Seeing Freya disregard him, Kieran felt a mix of frustration and indignation.

“Mr. Sutton, is it wise to let Ms. Dawson roam free here? What if something happens…”

Then she’ll only have herself to blame, Kieran said coldly. “Doesn’t she refuse to stick by my side? A little hardship might teach her a lesson.”

This scene was all about stepping on those below while sucking up to those above. After the Dawson Group’s scandal, Freya was viewed no differently than an heiress from a bankrupt family on the brink of collapse.

Wandering alone at the dinner party, Freya was bound to face disdain and ridicule. Once she couldn’t take it anymore, she’d naturally crawl back to him.

Meanwhile, gathering her dress, Freya had barely taken a few steps when a taunting voice from a socialite echoed nearby. “Oh, isn’t that Freya? She must have lost her way.”

“Impossible. Who knows what sly tricks she used to have Mr. Sutton bring her here? Look, Mr. Sutton has left her all alone. He doesn’t care a bit.”

“Everyone knows Mr. Sutton only has eyes for Elaine. She’s just asking for trouble.”

Their taunts reached Freya’s ears, but she had no intention of giving them the satisfaction of a response. In her past life, she hadn’t attended this dinner with Kieran but had heard that Preston was captivated by Eloise’s dance performance. Eloise was decent in their circle, although far from professional. Freya had learned various ballroom dances since she was young. Maybe she could give it a try.

At that moment, Freya whispered something to a waiter nearby, prompting one of the socialites to comment snidely. “What cheap trick is Freya trying to pull now?”

“Everyone knows Ms. Dawson tries to charm Mr. Sutton wherever she goes, as if afraid he won’t notice her. We’re all sick of it.”

They looked down on Freya’s actions. Soon, a tango filled the room, and Freya, standing confidently at the center, gracefully bowed to the audience. Her dance instantly caught everyone’s attention.

“Mr. Sutton, look over there!” Jarrett pointed to Freya, who had found a dance partner and was then in the midst of the dance floor. As their bodies moved closely together, Freya’s every movement drew the crowd’s gaze. Her great curves captivated the audience.

“What’s the big deal? It’s just her flaunting her figure shamelessly!”

“Exactly! Freya has no shame dancing such a provocative dance in public!”

The socialites showed clear disapproval. Though her mermaid gown restricted her movements, just as the crowd expected her to struggle, Freya boldly ripped off the lower part of her gown, surprising everyone.

With this stunning move, Freya’s legs moved as if she had transformed from a mermaid into a human, thrilling the onlookers. A man gently tapped the railing on the upstairs balcony, a smirk on his lips. “Is that Eloise?”

‘No, that’s Miss Freya Dawson from the Dawson family.’

“Freya…” The man raised an eyebrow. Rumors had swirled that the Dawson heiress was always imitating Eloise, a loyal follower of Kieran. But from what he saw, the gossip in Echo City might not be entirely accurate.

Just then, Eloise arrived in a hurry. The security at the door stopped her and said, “Good evening, please show your invitation.”

Frustrated, Eloise said, “I’m Eloise. Let me in.”
