ONLINE NOVEL XO Chapter 411
Kieran's disdain for Freya was more palpable now than ever before.
It was a complete role reversal from their past interactions.
"Freya, do you really think Grandma taking a shine to you is a good thing?" Kieran couldn't believe Freya failed to see the obvious truth that everyone else seemed to understand.
His gaze wandered over her. Today, Freya was donned in a shimmering gold dress, her appearance meticulously put together, exuding an air of formality.
As he studied her profile, Kieran frowned. In this moment, Freya's features overlapped with those of Susan in his mind.
Suddenly, Kieran halted and straightened Freya's posture with a swift movement, an action that seemed quite abrupt. Freya furrowed her brows, "Mr. Sutton, we're in public. What are you trying to do?" "Quiet," he said, scrutinizing Freya's face, trying to confirm his suspicion.
Susan was known for her aloof beauty, a chill aura surrounding her that screamed 'keep away'. Her looks were unmatched across Echo City, her eyes captivating in a way no one else's could be.
From the moment Kieran first laid eyes on Susan, he thought she looked a bit like Freya. However, no one else seemed to see the resemblance. Susan's behavior and the way she spoke were also quite different from Freya's.
Initially, Kieran hadn't been
suspicious, but Freya's exceptional
performance on the Summit
University's final exams had raised his doubts. How could a student, who had taken a half-year break from college, suddenly show such remarkable progress?
The answers on that test paper were clear and well-founded, the kind that only a seasoned business veteran could produce. Considering Susan's background, Kieran grew even more suspicious that the woman before him was the famed CEO of the W Group, Susan.
"Mr. Sutton, have you seen enough?" Freya blinked, her eyes sparkling with a vivacity completely unlike Susan's icy demeanor.
Kieran frowned, questioning his own judgment.
"Why are you staring at me like that, Mr. Sutton?" Freya asked. "Did you mistake me for someone else?"
"No," Kieran replied coldly. "You're not even close to her."
From Kieran's gaze earlier, Freya could tell he suspected she was Susan. However, considering the vast differences between Susan and Freya, aside from their similar faces, it was hard to connect the two.
It had to be said, the identity
provided by Ronan was quite effective. One was the enigmatic CEO of the W Group, returned from studying abroad. The other, a Dawson family heiress who had never left Echo City.
Even if Kieran harbored suspicions, it would be difficult for him to imagine they were the same person.
"Oh my!" Freya let out a deliberate shriek, and Kieran instinctively reached out to steady her. The moment their skin touched, his eyes were filled with concern.
