In the past, a gesture like this from Kieran would have made Freya blush.

But this time, Freya pushed Kieran away, frowning as she said, "Mr. Sutton, we're at the office. Show sdecorum, please." "Decorum, you say?" Kieran seemed to find the notion amusing.

He leaned closer to Freya, saying, "Who was it that used to clooking forthree times a day at the office, bending over backward to please me? Where was your concern for decorum then, hmm?" As Kieran closed in, Freya sidestepped him and said, "Back then, I was young and naive, Mr. Sutton. Please don't hold it against me." Looking around, she added, "Mr. Sutton, this is the ladies' restroom. Even if we need to talk, this hardly seems the appropriate place, does it?" Hearing that, Kieran stared at Freya, his gaze taking on a scrutinizing quality.

""Mr. Sutton?" "Cto my office." Kieran's usual calm demeanor returned.

Following him to his office, Freya saw him sit behind his desk. He looked at her and said, "Leland kidnapped you yesterday. By all accounts, I should have him thrown in jail." Freya had always doted on Leland, cleaning up his messes no matter what trouble he got into. Despite Leland's consistently terrible attitude toward her, Freya had always been compliant. After Kieran finished speaking, he awaited Freya's reaction.

Sitting opposite him, Freya said, "By all accounts, that should happen. I've wanted to see Johanna and her son behind bars for a long tnow." Freya spoke honestly. Ever since her rebirth, she had extended every kindness to Johanna and Leland without reciprocation.

Remembering her previous naivety, Freya laughed and said, "I thought about calling the police, but I couldn't resist Johanna's pleading. After all, Leland is the Dawson family's only son, isn't he?" "But from what I've heard, Leland isn't a Dawson by blood. You're half-siblings with no real familial ties, right?" Faced with Kieran's question, Freya responded, "Though Leland and I don't share both parents, he still carries the Dawson name. It'd bet

scandal to air such dirty laundry publicly. Mr. Sutton, we are engaged, Want after all You wouldn't want tumors about your fiancée nearly violated, would you?" I.ne

In their circles, things could get twisted in all sorts of ways. Though Freya wasn't violated, the rumor mill O could work overtime. Having a fiancée smeared by such scandal would also cause Kieran trouble. "He's in the Sutton family's basement."

Seeing Freya rise to leave immediately after getting what she er wanted, Kieran frowned and asked, "Is this the only reason you chere today?" "Thank you, Mr. Sutton."
