Chapter 122

โ€œYeah, Mr. Sutton, Freya was acting all high and mighty just now, even saying sheโ€™d use her influence to get us all rounded up,โ€ Cindy loved the drama, not minding the stirring of the pot.

Freya couldnโ€™t help but give a cold laugh, seeing these people trying to act like they were the victims.

โ€œI had no idea being the fiancรฉe of the Sutton family could grant you such leverage. Freya, you stop at nothing,โ€ Kieran was clueless about the happenings, his tone dripping with sarcasm toward Freya.

Seeing this, Luna stepped up, saying, โ€œMr. Sutton, do you know what happened? What gives you the right to talk about Freya like that!โ€

Eloise interrupted, โ€œMs. Jennings, itโ€™s like this. Kieran and Iโ€™ve heard everything. As for what happened, everyone has a pretty good idea.โ€

โ€œThatโ€™s right! Freya started bullying us first!โ€ Mae was quick to sling mud at Freya.

Eager and ready to defend Freya, Luna got cut off by Kieranโ€™s cold response, โ€œFreya, being the Sutton familyโ€™s fiancรฉe doesnโ€™t give you the right to abuse your power. Apologize to them.โ€

โ€œKieran! Have you lost your mind? Freya is your fiancรฉe, and youโ€™re siding with these outsiders over her?โ€ Luna was livid upon hearing Kieranโ€™s words.

Freya looked at Kieran, realizing he would back Eloise up.

Seeing the situation, Eloise said, โ€œKieran, let it go. Itโ€™s not worth it.โ€

โ€œEloise, you canโ€™t be this forgiving! Have you forgotten how Freya treated you before? She embarrassed you in front of everyone last night, and you cried for so long. Mae and I were the ones comforting you!โ€ Cindy couldnโ€™t wait to take credit in front of Kieran.

โ€œIโ€™ll rip your mouth off!โ€ Luna lunged forward, but Eloise suddenly stepped before Cindy, and Lunaโ€™s slap landed squarely on Eloiseโ€™s cheek.

Instantly, Eloiseโ€™s cheek turned red.

Kieran frowned. โ€œJarrett.โ€

Jarrett stepped forward and slapped Luna.

Seeing Luna get smacked, Freyaโ€™s face changed instantly. She raised her hand and landed a slap, not on Jarrett, but on Kieran. The air grew heavy.

โ€œKieran!โ€ Eloise paled.

Kieranโ€™s face darkened even more. No one had ever dared to hit him, especially in such a setting!

โ€œLuna, letโ€™s go.โ€ Freya pulled Luna away.

Jarrett looked displeased. โ€œMr. Suttonโ€ฆโ€

โ€œFreya has some nerve to hit Mr. Sutton! Freya and Luna are like loose cannons! Theyโ€™re asking for trouble!โ€ Cindy fanned the flames, but Kieran growled, โ€œGet out!โ€

Startled by Kieranโ€™s command, Cindy jumped. And seeing the situation turn sour, Mae quickly dragged Cindy away.

Eloise approached nervously. โ€œKieran, let me see if you got hurt.โ€

Before Eloiseโ€™s hand could reach Kieran, a torn flyer landed on Kieranโ€™s leg.

Bending down, Kieran picked up the flyer. It was covered in pictures of Freya and loaded up with all sorts of nasty words.

When seeing the flyer, Eloiseโ€™s expression soured.

Kieran looked toward where the flyer had come from, spotting the bulletin board and the remains of what was once a whole flyer. At that, Kieranโ€™s expression darkened further.

โ€œKieranโ€ฆ It must be a misunderstanding,โ€ Eloise said nervously, attempting to clear the air.
