The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 315

Chief Brennan was practically gasping for air as he spoke.

The officer's expression was a mix of surprise and disbelief as he recognized the chief. "Ch-Chief?"

Chief Brennan snapped, "I'm speaking to you. Hurry up and let go!"

"Chief Brennan, you’ve trained your subordinates well. I’m filing a complaint, and he wants to take me away. It's funny." Freya spoke without amusement in her voice.

Seeing Freya irritated, Chief Brennan broke out in a cold sweat. "Yes, it's my fault for not properly training my team, Ms. Dawson. I apologize for startling you!"

Watching the typically stern Chief Brennan bending backward for a woman, the officer couldn't help but ask, "Chief, who is this?"

"This is Ms. Dawson! Who gave you the right to apprehend Ms. Dawson? Have you lost your mind? If you don't value your life, I value mine! Release her immediately!"

"Chief, please don't be upset. I've explained everything to this officer, but it seems it didn't quite sink in."

With a sarcastic smile plastered on her face, Freya spoke. Chief Brennan, feeling the heat, quickly chimed in, "These are just the newbies, still learning the ropes. Ms. Dawson, please don't take it personally!"

Witnessing the scene, the neighbors exchanged puzzled glances. Who was this Ms. Dawson to make the chief so deferential?

"I mean it. Ms. Dawson is the former fiancée of the Sutton Group's CEO and the heiress of the Dawson family. She's also the current head of the Dawson Group! It’s a blessing that she chose to live here, yet you dared to rummage through her belongings and drive her out? What were you thinking? Who here has been spreading rumors about Ms. Dawson? Step forward now!"

Chief Brennan was visibly angry. Even though Kieran had broken off the engagement with Freya, given his attitude toward her, a reconciliation seemed possible at any time.

It was a political favor he was keen to extend. Moreover, Preston had taken a stand for Freya. He couldn't afford to refuse to come to her aid.

At that moment, no one dared to step forward. After all, now that the neighbors knew Freya was an heiress, who would dare to cross her?
