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.

Given the scandal's magnitude, the education board took the matter extremely seriously.

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

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

"Mr. Sutton, Ms. Harwood is here at the office. She's been waiting downstairs, insisting on seeing you. Should I send her up?"

Jarrett had never seen Ms. Harwood treated with such disregard before.

"No."

Kieran's response was icy.

He felt he had done all he could for Eloise under the circumstances.
