The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday

Chapter 242

Eloise intended to present herself as a loyal friend advocating on someone's behalf in front of her classmates. However, before she could finish, Ronan casually mentioned, "Oh, and Ms. Harwood, you can scrap any plans about studying abroad. The scholarship had been for someone else.

"Exactly. Eloise has the top grades in our class. Wasn't it decided earlier that she would be the one going abroad?"

The classmates swapped confused glances. After all, everyone knew about Eloise's ties with Kieran, right? How could anyone else even have a shot at the scholarship?
