Chapter 324

Once Kara had signed the dorm agreement, she handed it to Eloise. Eloise gave it a once-over before saying, โ€œSure, you can move in, but make no mistake. If anything in this dorm goes AWOL, youโ€™re the one in the hot seat.โ€

โ€œI would never steal anything, Eloise,โ€ Kara replied, her expression earnest.

Eloise gave a slight, indifferent smile. Jenny, who always had a low tolerance for such attitudes, didnโ€™t hide her disdain, rolling her eyes blatantly before Kara.

โ€œEllie, letโ€™s go,โ€ Jenny said, linking arms with Eloise, and the two of them left the dorm room. Their departure was like a sigh of relief for the other roommates.

โ€œMust have been all talk to intimidate Kara!โ€

โ€œExactly, Mrs. Sutton took a liking to Kara. Why would she send Kara to the Sutton family to be a maid? Itโ€™s not like the Sutton family is short on staff.โ€

While the roommates continued to defend Kara, they were unaware Jenny and Eloiseโ€™s warnings were based on truth.

Biting her lip, Kara said, โ€œI wonโ€™t take anything. Please donโ€™t worry. Once the Sutton family sends someone for me, Iโ€™ll move out immediately and wonโ€™t cause any trouble.โ€

โ€œWeโ€™re all friends here. Of course, we believe you! Besides, youโ€™ll be the future fiancรฉe of the Sutton familyโ€™s heir. Why would you need to take our things?โ€ The group warmly reassured Kara.

Yet, Karaโ€™s heart sank further, unsure when the Sutton family would come and pick her up.

Meanwhile, at the Sutton Group headquarters, Kieran scanned the invitation in his hand and said, โ€œRonan sent this. Take a look.โ€

Jarrett nabbed the invite, which was for a big bash celebrating the launch of the W Group.

โ€œLooks like that mysterious Miss Susan will also attend,โ€ Jarrett remarked.

โ€œRonanโ€™s kept her under tight wraps, all her information marked top secret. Iโ€™m curious what kind of woman has caught Ronanโ€™s eye,โ€ Kieran mused, his face stoic.

Jarrett replied, โ€œEven if sheโ€™s Mr. Beckettโ€™s ace, sheโ€™s a woman and poses no threat.โ€

Kieran sneered, โ€œI know, but Iโ€™m curious.โ€

Rumor had it that Ronan was not interested in women, maintaining a clean reputation. Kieran wanted to see what kind of woman could change that.

Seeing Kieran calmly handling work on his desk, Jarrett ventured, โ€œMr. Sutton, when I sent someone to the apartment yesterday, I found Ms. Dawson had moved out.โ€

Hearing that, Kieran paused while opening a file.

โ€œAnd? So what?โ€

โ€œSoโ€ฆshould we investigate?โ€

โ€œFrom now on, anything regarding Freya is none of my concern. Do I need to repeat myself a third time?โ€ Kieranโ€™s gaze was indifferent. Jarrett had never seen his boss so emotionally involved with any woman. Not even Eloise could stir Kieranโ€™s emotions as Freya did. Yet, it seemed Kieran had quickly lost interest in Freya.

Kieran instructed, โ€œPrepare for tonightโ€™s gala and send Ellieโ€™s gown to her.โ€
