Chapter 275
Freyaโs gaze was intense as she looked at Neil. Neil replied, โItโs all about practice. Your left hand is fine; you could definitely learn to write with it. But nine days? Thatโs a bit of a stretch.โ
โIโm not afraid of a challenge. But I need to graduate.โ Having a diploma from Summit University was like holding a key to a whole new world. In their circle, a high education was crucial, especially from Summit University, which held a unique significance. For a family like the Suttons, Summit University might not seem like a big deal. However, for the Dawsons, who were dangerously close to financial collapse, failing to graduate from Summit University could strip them of any opportunity to continue their family legacy.
โAlright, Iโll teach you.โ Neil smiled at Freya, quietly adding another item to Prestonโs tab: overseas consultancy fees, travel expenses, meals, accommodation, and now tuition. He was sure to make a hefty sum off Preston. This was a no-lose deal.
Meanwhile, Jarrettโs phone rang. After exchanging pleasantries with Freya, he stepped away to answer the call. Kieranโs voice was cold. โHow much longer will you waste at the hospital?โ
โMr. Sutton, regarding Ms. Dawsonโฆโ Jarrett hadnโt finished his sentence when Kieran interrupted, โYour job was to get her to the hospital, not to babysit.โ
โโฆYes, Mr. Sutton.โ
โHave the driver take her home.โ
โUnderstood.โ Jarrett was increasingly puzzled by Kieranโs intentions. But since Kieran had given his orders, Jarrett had no choice but to relay the message to Freya.
โMs. Dawson, thereโs urgent business at the company, so I must leave. Iโll arrange for a driver to take you home.โ
โThat wonโt be necessary,โ Neil interjected. โThe seminar just wrapped up, so I can teach Ms. Dawson how to write with her left hand.โ
โThisโฆโ Jarrett hesitated. Mr. Sutton hadnโt approved any private sessions between the foreign consultant and Ms. Dawson. Noticing Jarrettโs hesitation, Freya asked, โJarrett, isnโt this supposed to be part of the rehab training?โ
โโฆAlright then, should you need anything, Ms. Dawson, feel free to contact me.โ
โWill do.โ Jarrett cast a worried glance at Neil before leaving with the rest of the Sutton Group. Neil shrugged off his coat, saying, โMs. Dawson, after you.โ Freya nodded to Neil, and they left the hospital, one following the other.
Outside, a sleek black Rolls-Royce stood conspicuously. Freya remarked, โA Rolls-Royce parked here? Must be some rich kid showing off.โ
Neil paused, then said, โThatโs mine.โ
โExcuse me?โ

Freya pointed at the black Rolls-Royce, asking, โYours?โ
