Chapter 128

Hearing Silas mention Freyaโ€™s name, Kieran glanced at him and said, โ€œItโ€™s not about her, of all people.โ€ Silas could instantly tell Kieran was denying his true feelings. If it werenโ€™t about Freya, what about his strong reaction? Silas said, โ€œAfter all, Freya is your future wife. Maybe sheโ€™s no Eloise, but sheโ€™s devoted to you through and through.โ€

โ€œDevoted to me?โ€ Kieran scoffed, as if heโ€™d heard the funniest joke. โ€œDevoted? How could Freya be so cozy with Preston and Ronan if devoted? Why didnโ€™t she stand up for herself when she was accused? Sheโ€™s all about the dough! When she sees a loaded wallet, sheโ€™s all over it! Seeing Iโ€™m not biting, she throws herself at other guys! And you want to tell me sheโ€™s devoted?โ€

Silas was at a loss for words when hearing Kieran speak his mind. Stammering, Silas said, โ€œYou, you sure have a lot of complaints, huh? And you say itโ€™s not about Freya?โ€

Kieran felt a weight lifting off his chest after speaking his mind. โ€œAnyway, she didnโ€™t ask for my help, did she? So, I wonโ€™t intervene. Whatever people say about her, she brought it upon herself!โ€

Silas responded, โ€œWhy go to such lengths? You insisted on making Freyaโ€™s life miserable. Havenโ€™t you heard the rumors in Echo City? Everyone knows how blindly in love Freya was with you, to an almost bottomless extent. If it were me, I couldnโ€™t play such a demeaning role, not even for three months! A normal person wouldโ€™ve lost it by now. Her current attitude toward you is your own doing.โ€

Hearing this, Kieran glanced at Silas. That look frightened Silas a bit, so he pretended to busy himself with his drink, pretending not to notice.

โ€œSince youโ€™re here, no worries! Iโ€™ll find someone new for you. Whatโ€™s so great about Freya? Iโ€™ve got beauties here with perfect skin and sexy legs who can help you ease off.โ€

Saying so, Silas clapped his hands, and soon, several stunningly dressed beauties came in, each one a head-turner. The first to approach Kieran was a curvy beauty. Kieran barely glanced at her. Having seen Freyaโ€™s figure, this woman didnโ€™t compare. โ€œHer waist is too thick, next.โ€

The beauty looked incredulous upon hearing her waist called thick for the first time. Hearing this, Silas was dumbfounded. โ€œHer waist is thick? What do you want, a twig?โ€ Kieran didnโ€™t respond, leaving Silas to send the woman away.

The next one was skinny as a pole. Kieran coldly stated, โ€œToo skinny, no.โ€ He also dismissed the second beauty. About the third, Kieran expressed his impatience, โ€œToo unattractive.โ€ By the fourth, Kieran had lost all interest. Standing up, he said, โ€œEnjoy yourself.โ€

โ€œHey!โ€ Silas exclaimed, โ€œI find you beauties, and you just walk away!โ€

โ€œMr. Vaughnโ€ฆโ€ Those pretty women looked at Silas with disappointment and frustration. They wouldnโ€™t have come if they had known Kieran was so hard to please!
