Chapter 91

The woman was going berserk, screaming and attacking Johanna as if possessed. Johannaโ€™s face was a mess of scratches, and her cries of pain echoed throughout the conference room. Freya watched the whole drama unfold with a sense of perverse satisfaction.

Meanwhile, the crisis at the Dawson Group was averted, and news of Freya taking over the reins of the Dawson Group spread to Kieran. Kieran was already dealing with a headache from the dayโ€™s events. Hearing the news, his frown deepened. โ€œThe Dawson Groupโ€™s crisis is over? How did that happen?โ€

Jarrett said, โ€œWell, Iโ€™m not entirely sureโ€ฆ But I heard Ms. Dawson resolved the crisis.โ€

โ€œFreya?โ€ Kieranโ€™s eyes narrowed dangerously when he heard about Freya handling the crisis.

Noticing his bossโ€™s mood, Jarrett cautiously suggested, โ€œMr. Sutton, perhaps we should visit the Dawson Group?โ€

โ€œFreya put on quite a show yesterday, chasing Ellie off. She mustโ€™ve cut some deal with Grandma. And here I was thinking she was innocent!โ€

Kieran laughed coldly. He had underestimated Freya. He never expected that she would go to such lengths to resolve the crisis for the Dawson Group.

โ€œFind out where Freya got those two billion from,โ€ Kieran instructed.

Jarrett answered, โ€œYes, Mr. Sutton.โ€

As Kieran stood up, Jarrett asked, โ€œMr. Sutton, where are you goingโ€ฆ?โ€

โ€œGoing to the Dawson family,โ€ Kieranโ€™s voice was ice-cold. โ€œI want to see for myself. With the facts right before her, how will Freya try to twist the truth this time!โ€

Half an hour later, Freya returned to the Dawson family, with Johanna trailing behind her, hurling accusations, โ€œFreya! Youโ€™ve done it this time! How could you do this to me?โ€

Johanna tried to lash out at Freya physically, but Freya was quick, dodging every attempt.

Sitting comfortably on the living room sofa, Freya faced Johannaโ€™s disheveled figure and said, โ€œJohanna, Iโ€™ve afforded you the dignity youโ€™re due. What more do you want from me?โ€

โ€œHow dare you say that!โ€ Pointing her finger at Freya, Johanna yelled, โ€œIf it werenโ€™t for you, why would Galenโ€™s wife come to the office, attacking and berating me? Now, the whole company is laughing at me! And in front of the executives, you used the surveillance footage as evidence. How could you be so cruel and heartless!โ€

Johanna was like a madwoman, lashing out at anyone in her path.

Freya replied coolly, โ€œIf you donโ€™t want people to know, donโ€™t do it. Your affairs werenโ€™t exactly a secret around the office. You got what was coming to you.โ€

Hearing Freyaโ€™s indifferent response, Johanna raised her hand to slap Freya, but a big hand grabbed Johanna hard from behind before it could land.

โ€œWhoโ€™s that!โ€

Turning around, Johanna was shocked to see Kieran standing there.

โ€œKieranโ€ฆ Mr. Suttonโ€ฆโ€ Johanna was dumbfounded. โ€œWhy is Kieran here at this time?โ€

Kieranโ€™s expression was dark, his gaze icy, โ€œLeave!โ€

With that one word, Johanna trembled with fear. She hurriedly ran upstairs, stammering, โ€œIโ€“Iโ€™m leaving! Right away!โ€

Acting as if Kieranโ€™s sudden appearance meant nothing, Freya casually poured herself a cup of coffee. โ€œMr. Sutton, what brings you here?โ€
