Chapter 272

It was inconceivable! Freya, who had even perfected the art of plating like it was an art form from a Michelin-starred restaurant. How could this be? Could it be that Freya had been holding back secrets?

โ€œGet out, canโ€™t you hear me?โ€ Kieranโ€™s gaze grew colder by the second.

Kara shivered under Kieranโ€™s stern look. โ€œIโ€ฆ Mr. Suttonโ€ฆโ€

โ€œTrying to mimic someone elseโ€™s success, whatโ€™s your game?โ€

โ€œDo you think dressing up like Freya, trying to win my favor like Ellie, or perhaps youโ€™re after something more?โ€

โ€œNoโ€ฆ Noโ€ฆโ€ Kieran could see Karaโ€™s intentions clear as day, and her face grew paler.

โ€œLeave!โ€ Kieran shouted, his expression as dark as thunder.

Panic painted Karaโ€™s face as she hurriedly cleared the table of its dishes. As Kara hurried away, Kieranโ€™s thoughts couldnโ€™t help but drift to Freya. He had always observed how painstakingly careful Freya was. Back then, he suspected Freya had ulterior motives; he never believed in genuine affection. All of Freyaโ€™s actions, he thought, were aimed at benefiting from him. Even today, his thoughts remained unchanged.

Yet, while tasting Karaโ€™s cooking, all he could think of was Freya. Even though the dishes looked almost exactly like Freyaโ€™s, something about the taste just wasnโ€™t right. It wasnโ€™t the dish; it was the person behind it that made the difference.

Realizing this, Kieran leaned back on his couch, massaging his temples. Lately, his mind was cluttered with thoughts of Freya. This womanโ€™s tactics were so sophisticated that they were interfering with his work. He couldnโ€™t let this continue.

Kieran promptly called Jarrett.

โ€œMr. Sutton.โ€

โ€œHas the expert team arrived at Crescent Medical Center?โ€

โ€œThey have.โ€

โ€œGoing forward, I donโ€™t want to hear about Freyaโ€™s matters anymore. Once Freyaโ€™s recovery is confirmed, I intend to sever all ties with her.โ€

Jarrett paused, slightly taken aback. Sever all ties with Freya? What had suddenly gotten into Mr. Sutton?

โ€œJust do as I say.โ€

With that, Kieran hung up, leaving Jarrett looking puzzled. Had Ms. Dawson done something unforgivable again? But that couldnโ€™t be right; Ms. Dawson had been home all day, not stepping out once. What was going on with Mr. Sutton?

The next morning, Freya was surprised to find the Sutton familyโ€™s entourage had been moved from her building. Before she could revel in her relief, there was a knock at the door. Upon opening it and seeing Jarrett, she asked, โ€œWhat brings you here so early?โ€
