Chapter 51

Silas tried his best to keep the peace, but Kleman simply walked out of the room. “Kieran!” Eloise tried to stop him. Silas immediately blocked her path, saying, “Eloise! Everyone’s here celebrating your birthday! Come on, make a wish, and blow out the candles!”

Eloise wanted to chase after Kieran, but Silas effectively blocked her way. Eloise looked upset. How did Freya keep managing to get under Kieran’s skin, when he was usually so composed? Could it be… that Kieran did have feelings for Freya?

Luna was too nervous to speak outside the Eclipse Lounge. “Reya, what if you pissed Kieran off? His face was so dark! What if…” “Get in the car first.” Freya pushed Luna into the car, and before Luna could finish her sentence, someone forcefully pulled Freya toward…

“Kieran! Let me go!”

Kieran firmly held Freya; Luna saw it, and her face went pale. She hurriedly followed, “Reya!” But a security guard stopped her before Luna could catch up to Kieran and Freya. “I’m sorry, miss, you can’t go in,”

“Why can’t I? Didn’t you see my friend being taken away?”

“That’s Mr. Sutton. Mr. Sutton wouldn’t harm Ms. Dawson. Please leave.”

“You!” Luna was furious. This Kieran was no good guy!

Inside the Eclipse Lounge, Kieran dragged Freya along, and with a cold face, she said, “Kieran! What the hell do you want?”

When Freya finished speaking, Kieran kicked open a private room door. The room was full of strangers, and Kieran scowled. “Out!”

The people inside wanted to protest, but when someone recognized the man at the door as Kieran, they almost tripped over themselves trying to get out. Suddenly, the room was left with only Freya and Kieran.

Seeing the door was closed, Freya shook off Kieran’s hand, creating some distance between them. “What? Offending you means I can’t ever go home now, Mr. Sutton?”

“Freya, who gave you the courage to challenge me like this?”

Kieran’s face was stormy. Freya had publicly beaten up Lloyd and confronted him head-on, using past grievances to provoke Eloise. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t even know how they died! But Freya dared to walk away right in front of him?

“Mr. Sutton, be reasonable, will you? Your people started it, picking on me and bullying Luna. I guess, Mr. Sutton, by letting them off the hook so easily tonight, besides wanting to mess with me, you were also curious to see if I would show up because of your and Eloise’s mess?”

When he heard Freya hitting the nail on the head, Kieran’s expression turned even uglier.

Freya continued, “Too bad I have to disappoint you, Mr. Sutton. Whether you and Eloise kiss or sleep together makes no difference to me. It would be best if we could quickly hold a press conference to clarify our relationship. How about tomorrow? Mr. Sutton, you were planning to hold a press conference to clarify your relationship tomorrow, weren’t you? You were the only one who wanted to turn the engagement into a breakup; not much of a difference really.”

“You!” Kieran’s face grew darker, pointing at Freya, feeling a nameless rage boiling up, ready to burst.
