Chapter 66 Listening to Audrey's questioning, Eloise quickly said, "No... Mrs. Sutton, you've got it wrong. I didn't..." Kieran protected Eloise. "Grandma, Ellie tried to mend things between Freya andand genuinely wished us well. You've misunderstood her. She never aspired to be the lady of the Sutton family." Seeing Kieran still speaking up for Eloise, Audrey couldn't help but laugh. "How can my grandson be so naive? A few words from this woman, and you believe her? Now I see why Freya insisted on breaking off the engagement! Ms. Harwood is so cunning." "Mrs. Sutton, I know you have the wrong impression of me, but I didn't try to ruin the relationship between Ms. Dawson and Kieran... If you still misunderstand me, I'll stay away from Kieran." Hearing Eloise make such a resolute statement, Audrey readily agreed, "Well, then, I'll have someone book you a ticket abroad right away, Ms. Harwood. The Sutton family will cover all your expenses abroad if you never return. That's all I ask!" Eloise's face turned pale. She hadn't expected Audrey to agree to it! "Grandma!" Kieran's expression turned cold. "Ellie has gotten used to living here. She doesn't want to go abroad. Grandma, you really don't need to worry about this." With that, Kieran took Eloise by the arm and left the lounge.
Seeing her grandson defy her for a woman, Audrey was seething.
She took a deep breath and turned to Freya, saying, "Freya, I know you've been wronged. Rest assured. I will look after you. No one will do you wrong." Freya said, "Audrey, Kieran and I are not good for each other. I'm serious about breaking off the engagement today." Hearing Freya's words, Audrey frowned deeply, "Freya, you should know I chere today because of Kieran." Audrey sighed, "Leaving the newspaper and Jarrett aside, Kieran wantedto step in and stop you from breaking off the engagement... It shows Kieran cares for you." Hearing that, Freya's brow furrowed. This was Kieran's plan? What was he thinking? "Since Kieran cares for you, I think you..." "Audrey, there's no need to persuade me. Today, out of respect for you, I'll pretend we've never discussed breaking off the engagement. But will never be the perfect elhet granddaughter-in-law you want, and I don't wish to enter the Sutton family." Audrey was stunned. She
remembered how much Freya used to love Kieran and thought Freya was just being capricious. She never expected Freya to be so serious about it. en
Meanwhile, Kieran had led Eloise out of the conference hall. Seeing Kieran m ng hadn't looked at her Eloise anxiously elgrabbed his arm, "Kieran... It's my fault. Leare too much about you. I'm afraid I'm afraid once you're engaged, we can't return to how things were... Kieran, I didn't mean to deceive you." Eloise knew Kieran disdained deception the most.
Seeing Eloise's panicked and frightened demeanor, Kieran said sternly, "Don't do such pointless things again. The Eloise I know m wouldn't resort to such low tactics." Eloise lowered her head, biting her lip. "I'm sorry..."
