Chapter 121

Everyone knew about Freyaโ€™s reputation around campusโ€”she was head over heels for Kieran, willing to go to any lengths for him at that moment. Emya scandalโ€ฆ

Once she spotted the troublemakers, Freya marched over to them and asked, โ€œWhatโ€™s your problem?โ€

Mae and Cindyโ€™s amusement faded instantly.

With an air of superiority, Cindy retorted, โ€œAnd what makes you think we did anything? Got any proof?โ€

โ€œWhat proof could she have? Sheโ€™s lashing out because sheโ€™s pissed,โ€ Man said sarcastically. โ€œEven if we didnโ€™t post the pictures, itโ€™s not like itโ€™s a lie. Youโ€™re supposed to be Mr. Suttonโ€™s fiancรฉe, yet here you are, cozying up to all these guys. Itโ€™s disgraceful.โ€

โ€œExactly. A woman who dresses provocatively and uses her looks to lure men deserves such criticism.โ€

Mae and Cindy took turns throwing jabs, but all it did was make Freya laugh.

Mae frowned. โ€œWhatโ€™s so funny?โ€

โ€œI find it hilarious. Weโ€™re in college, and you donโ€™t realize spreading rumors is illegal?โ€ Freya continued. โ€œThere are cameras all around us. A little investigation would reveal whoโ€™s behind this little stunt. Iโ€™ll gather the evidence and go to the police to teach whoeverโ€™s pulling these strings that I, Freya, am not to be trifled with.โ€

Mae and Cindy panicked, but Cindy quickly regained her composure. โ€œFreya! Who do you think you are? You think the teachers are going to take the side of someone with your kind of rep?โ€

โ€œRight, like the schoolโ€™s surveillance is at your disposal. Do you think the police will care about this pettyโ€ฆโ€

Freya raised an eyebrow and said, โ€œDidnโ€™t you just say it? Iโ€™m Kieranโ€™s fiancรฉe. You know how much the Sutton family invests in Summit University yearly, right?โ€

Their faces turned pale at the reminder.

Cindy snapped, โ€œFreya! Youโ€™re abusing your power!โ€

โ€œYeah, I am. And I can afford to be capricious because Iโ€™m Kieranโ€™s fiancรฉe. You donโ€™t have that luxury.โ€

โ€œReally?โ€ A cold snort came from not too far away.

Hearing the voice, Freya frowned. โ€˜Kieran? Whatโ€™s he doing here?โ€™

Turning around, she saw Kieran and Eloise approaching. Eloise was clinging to Kieranโ€™s arm, clearly having been dropped off by him.

When she saw the two appear, Freyaโ€™s expression remained unchanged. Their presence had ruined such a bright morning.

โ€œEloise!โ€ Cindy and Mae rushed to stand behind Eloise. With Eloise backing them, they werenโ€™t intimidated by Freya.

Freya stated, โ€œMr. Sutton is here, too. What a coincidence.โ€

โ€œItโ€™s not. I was dropping off Ellie.โ€ Kieranโ€™s remark felt like a slap in Freyaโ€™s face before everyone. All the supposed fancy status of being the fiancรฉe of the Sutton Group didnโ€™t hold a candle to Eloise.

Eloise said, โ€œMs. Dawson, thereโ€™s been a misunderstanding with Cindy and Mae. Let me apologize on their behalf.โ€

โ€œYou donโ€™t need to apologize for them,โ€ Kieran said coldly. โ€œIโ€™ve heard everything from here, Freya. Werenโ€™t you the one to be my fiancรฉe? Why bother throwing around the title of the Sutton familyโ€™s fiancรฉe?โ€
