The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday

That afternoon, the verdict on Eloise's academic fate took another devastating turn.

This time, Eloise wouldn't be able to graduate. In fact, she was expelled from the university. Several staff members suspected of covering up for her were stripped of their positions. When Jarrett relayed the news to Kieran, the decision was already final.

Even Kieran, with all his influence, couldn't sway the outcome this time.

Considering the implications, there was no way Eloise could smoothly graduate.

Kieran's response was icy.
