The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday

"Just because the answers are similar, why am I being accused of cheating?"

At that moment, Eloise was sitting in the principal's office.

The principal himself looked incredibly troubled.

It would be one thing if it were anyone else, but the person sitting before him was Kieran's sweetheart.

With patience, the principal began, "Ms. Harwood, I really don't want to suspect you of cheating, but someone has posted what they claim to be evidence on the school's forum. We have to take it seriously. However, this is just a formality. You're the president of the student council, and I'm sure you wouldn't do anything against the school's code of conduct!"

The principal was blatantly favoring Eloise.

So what if she really cheated? Eloise's status set her apart from the others.

When the principal said that, Eloise could finally breathe a sigh of relief, feeling the weight of stress lift from her shoulders. All thanks to Kieran, the principal wouldn't dare to do anything to her.
