Escapi Chapter 407

Alison quickly had someone go upstairs and gather all of Leland and Johannaโ€™s belongings, carelessly tossing them into a trash bin. When everything was accounted for, Freya had it all dumped right in front of Leland. Watching his clothes, shoes, and books being thrown out, Lelandโ€™s expression turned from disbelief to utter disgust.

โ€œKeep an eye on him. From now on, Leland and the Dawsons have nothing to do with each other. If Leland shows up at the Dawson doorstep causing trouble, call the police immediately.โ€

โ€œYes, Miss.โ€

To prevent any further disturbances, Freya had even arranged for a security detail. Then Leland, snapping out of his shock, started frantically pounding on the Dawsonโ€™s iron gate, yelling at Freya, โ€œFreya! Iโ€™m your brother! You canโ€™t do this to me! Let me in, Freya! Iโ€™m the rightful heir to the Dawson estate!โ€

Freya couldnโ€™t be bothered to waste her breath on Leland, simply turning her back and heading into the Dawson residence. Seeing the house free of Johanna and her sonโ€™s presence, Freya finally allowed herself a moment of satisfaction, smiling contentedly.

โ€œMiss, whatโ€™s our next move?โ€

โ€œAll of Johannaโ€™s assets have been transferred to the companyโ€™s accounts, covering any gaps. I believe our projects with the Dawson partners can proceed without issues for now.โ€

As long as Kieran doesnโ€™t stir up trouble, Freya thought to herself. But after todayโ€™s humiliation, she doubted Kieran would bother her again. That was for the best.

Meanwhile, at the Sutton residence. As soon as Kieran stepped through the door, Kara ran up to him, falling to her knees: โ€œMr. Sutton! Please, I beg you, help my aunt!โ€ Tears streaked down Karaโ€™s face, making a pitiful sight.

In the living room, Audrey maintained her composure, albeit with a hint of impatience. She had thought Kara to be a docile girl, but now, faced with a real crisis, the girl seemed utterly clueless. The Suttons had already broken off their engagement with the Dawsons, effectively severing all ties. Even if the Dawsons were in trouble, it was Freya who should be seeking their help, not Kara, who had no official status or connection.

Kieran frowned. He had never liked Johanna, much less wanted to get involved in Dawson affairs.

โ€œJarrett, see Ms. Orson out.โ€

โ€œMr. Suttonโ€ฆโ€

Kara was stunned, unable to believe Kieran could be so cold-hearted, not even bothering to ask about the Dawsonโ€™s situation. โ€œMs. Orson, please follow me.โ€

โ€œNo! Mr. Sutton, I know youโ€™re the kindest person in the world. Please, for old timesโ€™ sake, help my aunt!โ€

โ€œI believe Iโ€™ve made myself clear, you shouldnโ€™t be here.โ€

Kieranโ€™s gaze was icy, chilling Kara to the bone with just a glance. Eloise had already informed him days earlier about the school rumors involving him and Kara. Kieran was well aware of the games women played; he often chose not to intervene out of sheer indifference.
