The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday

Chapter 216

Eloise interrupted, "Mae accidentally stepped on Ms. Dawson's hand. Whatever the medical bills are, we'll cover them."

"Is this about the medical bills?" Ronan's voice was icy as he spoke. "I'm going to review the library's surveillance footage.

Mae's parents had spent a fortune and pulled every string they could to get her into Summit University. If Mae got expelled, her parents would be furious!

"Ellie! Please help me! It was an honest mistake!" Mae put all her hopes in Eloise.

Eloise bit her lip, knowing Mae would be in trouble if they checked the surveillance footage.

"Professor Beckett, we're willing to pay any damages. How about..."
