The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 329

There was something about her, an icy demeanor that screamed 'trouble' from a mile away.

"Kieran, did you hear what I said?" Eloise prodded again.

This time, Kieran snapped out of his daze, replying with a nonchalance and indifference, "You're overthinking it. Freya can't be Susan. They only look somewhat similar."

One was a powerhouse with international exposure, while the other was a sheltered heiress who hadn't ventured beyond Echo City.

Freya had been circling Kieran for the longest time. How could she have had the time to study abroad, let alone rise to become the renowned CEO of W Group?

Eloise felt her heart sink. First, it was Freya. Then, it was Susan. Her intuition screamed that both women were formidable rivals.

The dinner party was filled with the usual banalities. The high society ladies flocked to Susan upon realizing how much Ronan and Kieran favored her, leaving Eloise in their dust as they gravitated toward the newcomer.

"Ms. Susan, we've heard so much about your beauty and prowess overseas, and finally, we get to witness it ourselves."

Once Freya sensed Kieran's attention shifting away, she reverted to her detached demeanor.

"Thank you all for joining tonight's W Group gala. I'm Susan, the inaugural CEO of W Group. I look forward to our future collaborations and appreciate your support," she addressed the gathering, her poise earning her applause.

Yet, her eyes found Kieran, her gaze filled with an amusement starkly different from Freya's usual coldness.

Kieran remained stoic, seemingly unfazed and indifferent to Susan's presence.
