Chapter 40 He Is My Little Brother
As Freya noticed that Edward’s body stiffened slightly, she turned to look at the man.
He looked somewhat familiar.
It took her a few seconds of thinking before she finally remembered.
He was the owner of Azure Club, Dominic Sutton, the younger brother of the president of the Sutton
Group
Naturally, she shifted her body and stood between Dominic and Edward. “Mr. Sutton, it’s been a long
while.”
Her dazzling beauty overwhelmed the entire room.
Borus
Dominic’s expression went from surprised to somewhat perfunctory as he greeted, “Miss Kaufmann,
nice to meet you again.”
It was not a secret in Caltun that Dominic was gay and had no interest in women.
Looking at Edward behind Freya, he asked with an inscrutable expression on his face, “Miss
Kaufmann, do you know Edward as well?”
Freya’s tone became more serious as she replied, “He is my little brother.”
The people around them exchanged glances and felt assured that they had not flattered the wrong
person.
Meanwhile, Edward was keenly aware of Freya’s protection.
When Freya first introduced him to Isabella, she referred to him as her assistant.
Edward tightly pursed his lips Freya was protecting him again. As he looked at Dominic, whose eyes
were filled with lust, he clenched his hands secretly.
When he went to apply for a job in Azure Club, Dominic happened to be there and immediately offered
to hire him to be his lover.
However, Edward declined his offer. Although he wanted to work as an escort to afford his brother’s
medical expenses, he only intended to accompany clients for drinks and never thought of selling
himself.
What was more, Edward was not interested in men.
Despite that, Dominic still wouldn’t leave him alone. Although he only worked there for a day, Dominic
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtstill kept calling and harassing him.
At this moment, Dominic was staring at Freya as he asked, “Your little brother? Miss Kaufmann, you
must be joking. Don’t you only have an elder brother?”
When Freya mentioned that Edward was her little brother, there was also a subtle warning in her
sentence. She wanted to let Dominic know that Edward was being protected and that he should back
off.
However, she didn’t expect Dominic to be so lecherous and persistent in his questioning.
“Even though he is not my biological little brother, I still treat him as one.” Freya smiled.
The people around them had already seen through Dominic’s intentions. Considering his usual
character, they speculated that he might have taken an interest in Freya’s handsome male companion.
Immediately, someone kindly came forward to help Freya out of the situation.
“Mr. Sutton, it’s been a while. How’s your club doing?”
With that, several people surrounded Dominic and took him aside.
Freya took Edward to a less crowded place and asked in a low voice, “How do you know Mr. Sutton?”
Edward gritted his teeth. This was a very embarrassing thing.
Since Freya asked him about it, he told her everything in detail. His black eyes were filled with
helplessness, humiliation, and resentment.
After understanding the whole incident, Freya nodded and reassured, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”
Her short sentence gave him a sense of security.
However, Edward was not happy.
I always rely on Frea’s protection and give her so much trouble. What if she got tired one day?
When will it be my turn to protect her?
At the moment, no one knew his complicated feelings.
As soon as Freya sat down on the sofa, she saw Isabella toasting in high spirits with someone in the
distance.
She knew the wealthy young man sitting across from Isabella, and he was not a good guy.
Seeing that, Freya was a little worried. Facing Edward, she instructed, “Stay here by yourself for a
while. I’ll go over and check on Isabella. Just stay in this hall, and don’t go to isolated places like the
backyard where there are few people. Dominic is fearless.”
The Suttori family made their money through unscrupulous business practices. Although they had
whitewashed their image in recent years, they still retained some rogue behavior in their bones.
After giving the instructions, Freya hurriedly went to check on Isabella,
When she got closer, she grabbed Isabella’s arm and said, “Stop drinking now.”
Isabella had a charming blush on her face, and her eyes were starting to look a little drunk. “Frey, do
you want a drink too?”
“You’re not in a bar right now. How can you drink like this?”
Seeing that things were not going well, the man opposite immediately spoke up. “Miss Kaufmann, don’t
worry. I’ll take her home if she drinks too much.”
Freya gave a cold glance at him, saying, “No need for the trouble.”
Her eyes were cold and icy, and the man hesitated for a moment before awkwardly walking away.
Freya led Isabella out as they walked toward the exit. Since Isabella was already drunk, Freya decided
to have a driver from the Parkers send her home.
As they left the venue, the fresh air from the garden outside slightly refreshed them.
With a frown, Freya supported Isabella as they walked toward the entrance. “What’s been going on
with you lately? I don’t remember you being such a heavy drinker before.”
Isabella’s eyes were a bit hazy, reflecting the moonlight with a watery glint. “Drinking makes me feel
better.
Freya let out a sigh. Just as she was about to take advantage of her drunk friend to ask what was going
on between her and her brother, she remembered that Edward was still at the event. Therefore, she
had no choice but to postpone it to another day.
She asked the driver to take Isabella home safely after ensuring that she was in the hands of the
Parkers” family driver.
After watching the car leave, she made a phone call to her mother and told her that Isabella couldn’t
take care of Braxton tonight and to remember to send a caregiver to watch over him.
After finishing everything. Freya turned around and decided to head back to the venue.
Just as she turned around, she saw a tall figure standing not far away under a tree.
Radley’s presence was so strong that people couldn’t ignore him. Freya frowned slightly and wanted to
pretend that she didn’t see him.
However, the next second, he called out to her. “Freya”
She stopped in her tracks and asked. “Is there something you need to discuss with me, Mr.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMonaghan?”
“Yes.”
Freya remembered the way he had thrown his tie in the mall a few days ago and sneered. “Do we have
anything to discuss between us?”
Radley frowned deeply as he blocked her way. “It’s about Grandma. She is sick.”
Freya was taken aback. Grandma is sick?
“What’s wrong?”
“She suddenly fainted at home yesterday and has been asking for you ever since she woke up,” he
replied.
Just as Freya was about to ask more, she saw someone walking out of the hall not far away. It was
Danna. At that moment, she was looking around as if looking for someone.
“Radley!” Danna spotted him and hurriedly ran down the stairs while holding her skirt.
As she passed by them, she timidly called out to Freya.
What a hypocrite woman! At once, Freya felt a sickening sensation race up her spine.
“Mr. Monaghan, let’s talk about this another day.”
The garden was quiet. Danna hurried over to Radley with a look of anxiety on her face. “Radley, why
did you come out? I couldn’t find you just now.”
She bit her lip and looked at his cold face, tentatively asking. “Were you looking for Freya?”
Radley lowered his eyes to look at her as he answered. “Yeah.”
Danna’s heart skipped a beat.
Upon returning to the banquet hall, Freya walked around but still did not see Edward. She frowned and
took out her phone from her handbag to make a call.
As she heard several rings on the other end with no answer, her expression turned serious.
Then, she quickly scanned the crowd and noticed that Dominic wasn’t there either.
She had told Edward not to go to the garden. Edward had always been obedient, so he should not
have gone there.
Therefore, the only possibility was…
Freya quickly walked toward the corridor where the restroom was located.
Through the hall and into the corridor, she walked to the location of the restroom in the middle.
As soon as she stopped, she heard a scream coming from inside!
