Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 254

Chapter 254

Ray pulled a dagger from his waist and swiftly cut through the rope. Zackary dropped heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

By evening, alongside the breaking news about the Dellanex University department head's assault on female students, another headline emerged, a failed suicide attempt, with the perpetrator leaving behind a confession note. This immediately confirmed Zackary's past actions. His noté detailed each female student he had victimized and described the methods he used to coerce and threaten them.

The internet exploded with outrage,

[Monster! Scumbag! How did he even survive? People like him deserve to be tortured to death.]

[Just cripple him already.]

[He must face the harshest punishment.]

[Even if he didn't die, the law will take care of him.]

[Waiting for the official verdict. I won't be satisfied until justice is served!]

The incident caused a massive public uproar.

The university quickly distanced itself, while one victim after another came forward, sharing their stories under their real names. Evidence surfaced continuously, and the police launched an immediate investigation. That night, after arranging Briony's funeral at the mortuary, Ophelia saw the news of Zackary's arrest at the hospital.

The video showed victims and their families swarming to beat him, almost like a public parade of retribution.

The police ensured the suspect's safety but didn't stop the crowd from venting their anger.

The case progressed even faster than Ophelia had anticipated.

"Briony, is this what you to see?" Ophelia whispered, holding up her phone in front of Briony's photo.

Before Ophelia's time travel, Briony's death hadn't brought justice to anyone.

But in this life, things unfolded as Briony had hoped.

Her death not only punished this man but also helped protect countless other girls.

Briony could finally rest in peace.

Ophelia had taken a quick shower and gone straight to bed, but she could've sworn she felt his warmth behind her, felt him holding her. 'Did I imagine it?' she thought.
