Listen to this chapter:

โ€œMr. Sutton,โ€

With just a look from Kieran, the womanโ€™s seductive face froze, and she dared not come any closer.

โ€œSirโ€ฆ Sir, I donโ€™t drink.โ€ Nearby, a womanโ€™s troubled voice reached Kieranโ€™s ears. The woman had been grabbed by one of the executives, who was forcibly pouring alcohol down her throat. The liquor trickled down her smooth neck, slowly drenching her light clothes and making the area below her chest partially visible.

It was then Kieran realized that the woman being harassed was Kara Orson. Seeing Karaโ€™s panic, Kieran stepped forward and grabbed Mr. Pattersonโ€™s hand.

Patterson, thinking Kieran was protecting the girl because he had an interest in her, immediately let Kara go and pushed her towards Kieran, saying, โ€œIโ€™ve heard Mr. Sutton has a thing for Ms. Harwood, and this young lady does resemble her somewhat. No wonder Mr. Sutton is interested?โ€

Mr. Patterson was drunk and spoke without a filter. Kara hid behind Kieran, clutching his arm in fear.

Kieran frowned slightly. If not for the connection to Freya, he wouldnโ€™t have bothered.

โ€œMr. Suttonโ€ฆโ€

Karaโ€™s eyes, shimmering with tears like a frightened deer, seemed to bear deep sorrow.

โ€œLetโ€™s go.โ€ Kieranโ€™s tone was icy.

Kara scrambled, โ€œMr. Sutton, Iโ€™m just here to make tuition money. Iโ€™m not that kind of girl!โ€

Kara was desperate to explain, but Kieran didnโ€™t want to delve into why she was there in the first place.

Suddenly, Silas burst in, his face as pale as if heโ€™d seen a ghost.

โ€œKieran! Guess who I just saw?โ€

Silas whispered something into Kieranโ€™s ear, causing his expression to darken immediately.

โ€œMr. Sutton!โ€

Seeing Kieran storm out, Karaโ€™s face turned ashen.

Meanwhile, inside the room, Luna, looking equally shocked, ran in to find Freya casually chatting with a young, attractive man.

โ€œFreya! I saw Silas!โ€

โ€œSo what?โ€ Freya replied, โ€œKieran was supposed to come here for business today anyway.โ€

Realizing Freya was aware of Kieranโ€™s visit, Luna gasped, โ€œYou knew Kieran was coming, and you still dared to do this?โ€

โ€œItโ€™s precisely to make him catch me in the act. How else am I supposed to make Kieran despise me?โ€

Freyaโ€™s hand was caressing the young manโ€™s abs. Internally, she mused about the virtues of youth and the firmness of his muscles.

โ€œMissโ€ฆโ€

Bang! The next second, the room door flew open. Kieran stood at the doorway, his face stormy. Freyaโ€™s hand was still on the young manโ€™s abs. Her seductive pose on the sofa and the flirtatious blush on her delicate face made for a scandalous scene.

โ€œMr. Sutton, what a coincidence,โ€ Freya leaned on the young manโ€™s shoulder and teased, โ€œAre you here for some fun too?โ€
