Chapter 224
Kieran’s gaze was sharp, piercing through the tension, “Freya, what exactly were you up to today? Out with r
Pain shot through Freya’s arm, causing her to gasp sharply. Yet, she faced Kieran defiantly, pain be damned, and wrtes, Tha154 today, Mr. Sutton, wasn’t all of it laid bare at the hospital? Why bother asking again?”
“Playing dumb now, are we?” Kieran’s words carried a chilling edge as he confronted her, “You had someone trash Ellies pics toge didn’t you?”
Freya blinked in surprise. Trashed Eloise’s place?
“Freya, stop playing the innocent card! Yes, someone close to Ellie crossed you, but what does that have to do with Ellie herself stad no idea you were this vindictive. Had I known, I would’ve had you expelled from Summit University
Hearing Kieran indiscriminately pinning the blame on her, indignation surged within Freya, “Kierant 16660
Not you? Do you really expect me to believe that? You’ve been jealous of Ellie for ages. I thought at most yould play sometabo games, but to target Ellie directly?”
Each of Kieran’s words felt like sharp needles against Freya’s spine.
“Kieran, for the last time, I, Freya, am not that despicable!”
Despite the pain, Freya managed a cold laugh and said, “I know you fancy Eloise, yes, and I admit I once had feelings for you Batz doesn’t make me guilty! I don’t deserve to be the sacrificial lamb for your love story! I’ve already stepped back, what more do you wat from me?”
Kieran paused, seemingly taken aback by Freya’s outburst. For a moment, he saw the defiance, disgust, and the unyielding spint in he
eyes.
By the end of her speech, tears welled up in Freya’s eyes.
She had been the sacrificial lamb in a previous life, a past she vowed never to revisit!
The pain in her arm was intensifying.
Kieran took a deep breath, his voice as cold as ever, “Freya, if you’ve done something wrong, you have to face the consequences, it’s not up to me to decide whether you’re innocent or not.”
“What are you planning to do, Mr. Sutton? Just spit it out.”
“Officers, if you please.”
Kieran’s tone was indifferent as two police officers, who had been waiting outside the Dawson residence, stepped in.
Freya was stunned at the sight of them.
“Kieran, you’re having me arrested?”
Even as she voiced it, Freya could scarcely believe it herself.
She knew Kieran despised her.
And she knew of his affection for Eloise.
But after publicly calling off their engagement, leaving her, Freya Dawson, as a pariah in their circle, shunned and deemed unmarriageable, wasn’t that enough?
At Summit University, students with a criminal record were expelled, and within their circles, a socialite arrested by the police would be the subject of gossip for life. Kieran surely knew this.
Yet, facing all this, Kieran merely stated coldly, “If you’re innocent, you’ve nothing to fear from a police investigation.”
