Chapter 275

Freyaโ€™s gaze was intense as she looked at Neil. Neil replied, โ€œItโ€™s all about practice. Your left hand is fine; you could definitely learn to write with it. But nine days? Thatโ€™s a bit of a stretch.โ€

โ€œIโ€™m 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.

โ€œAlright, Iโ€™ll teach you.โ€ Neil smiled at Freya, quietly adding another item to Prestonโ€™s 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, Jarrettโ€™s phone rang. After exchanging pleasantries with Freya, he stepped away to answer the call. Kieranโ€™s voice was cold. โ€œHow much longer will you waste at the hospital?โ€

โ€œMr. Sutton, regarding Ms. Dawsonโ€ฆโ€ Jarrett hadnโ€™t finished his sentence when Kieran interrupted, โ€œYour job was to get her to the hospital, not to babysit.โ€

โ€œโ€ฆYes, Mr. Sutton.โ€

โ€œHave the driver take her home.โ€

โ€œUnderstood.โ€ Jarrett was increasingly puzzled by Kieranโ€™s intentions. But since Kieran had given his orders, Jarrett had no choice but to relay the message to Freya.

โ€œMs. Dawson, thereโ€™s urgent business at the company, so I must leave. Iโ€™ll arrange for a driver to take you home.โ€

โ€œThat wonโ€™t be necessary,โ€ Neil interjected. โ€œThe seminar just wrapped up, so I can teach Ms. Dawson how to write with her left hand.โ€

โ€œThisโ€ฆโ€ Jarrett hesitated. Mr. Sutton hadnโ€™t approved any private sessions between the foreign consultant and Ms. Dawson. Noticing Jarrettโ€™s hesitation, Freya asked, โ€œJarrett, isnโ€™t this supposed to be part of the rehab training?โ€

โ€œโ€ฆAlright then, should you need anything, Ms. Dawson, feel free to contact me.โ€

โ€œWill do.โ€ Jarrett cast a worried glance at Neil before leaving with the rest of the Sutton Group. Neil shrugged off his coat, saying, โ€œMs. 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, โ€œA Rolls-Royce parked here? Must be some rich kid showing off.โ€

Neil paused, then said, โ€œThatโ€™s mine.โ€

โ€œExcuse me?โ€

Freya pointed at the black Rolls-Royce, asking, โ€œYours?โ€
