The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday
Chapter 348

"Eloise, you're the student council president. Today, Freya stirred up trouble, and I've had the library pull the surveillance footage. It was Freya who initiated the altercation. I've instructed Director Sampson to expel Freya. You can rest easy."

"Understood. Thank you for your fairness, Principal."

As Eloise listened to these recordings, her face turned ghostly pale.

Kieran said, "Ellie, I gave you a chance, and you squandered it."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Eloise saw Kieran reaching for the phone on the desk.

Realizing he might call the principal, Eloise quickly grabbed Kieran's arm, pleading, "Kieran! You can't do this to me! You promised you wouldn't let anyone bully me!"

"I promised to protect you from harm in Echo City, not to condone your mistreatment of others." Kieran's gaze was icy as he looked at Eloise. "Ellie, you must face the consequences if you've done something wrong."

"I can't study abroad anymore! How can I hold my head up in our circles if I get expelled? Kieran, for my sake! Just pretend you don't know. Okay?"

Eloise's plea was desperate. Pride was her Achilles' heel. The thought of her reputation tarnished by such underhanded tactics used against Freya was unbearable.

"Let go." Kieran's voice was almost frigid, a clear warning to Eloise.

Seeing the unfamiliar coldness in his eyes, Eloise involuntarily released her grip. "Kieran, doing this is like pushing me to my death."

"If you want to study abroad, I can arrange for that. But your days at Summit University are over." Kieran remained unyielding.

Eloise retorted coldly, "I don't want to go abroad. I want to graduate from Summit University! If you disagree, I might as well die here!" After that, Eloise grabbed a letter opener from the table and pressed it against her wrist.

Kieran's expression turned icy. He disliked being threatened, especially in such a manner.

"Think carefully. I won't help you cheat at Summit University, and you'll lose this one chance to study

at a top university abroad. Are you

sure?" 4

Eloise was desperate. "I don't want any woman taking you away from me. I don't want to go abroad. I don't want to leave you to Freya!"

Hearing Eloise's words, Kieran's eyes grew colder.

Jarrett walked in upon hearing the commotion and was shocked by the scene front of him. He never

expected Eloise to threaten Kieran in such a way.

"Fine, I agree." Kieran's sudden concession surprised Eloise.

Kieran added, "I won't force you to leave the university. You can stay and graduate. But Jenny can't stay

at the school, and you'll lose stay

any chance of studying abroad. Asdong as you have no regrets, stay in Echo City I won't interfere anymore."

"Kieran..."
