A Bride’s Revenge: No Longer The Back Up Novel

Chapter 340

Halfway through Evelyn's speech, a familiar conversation began to play from Brian's computer.

"Ah! Eve, what are you doing?" Julia screamed in the recording.

Evelyn's voice came through the speaker. "That injury of yours looks serious, but let's face it, it's just a minor scrape. We have no choice but to make it look worse so we can convince the dean to make Ariana drop out of school. Julia, I know I'm asking too much of you, but I'm sure you'll understand because we're friends. Am I right?"

Evelyn's expression fell as she heard the sounds from the footage. Then, she caught the recording of her conversation with Christopher from the previous evening.

"Evelyn, our dear president of the student council, I've made the library look into the security footage regarding the trouble Ariana started today, and we confirmed that she had struck first. I've ordered Mr. Stewart to get Ariana to drop out of school. You have nothing to worry about now."

"Right. Thank you for upholding justice, Mr. Gail," she replied, but her face paled as the recordings continued.

Brian lamented, "Eve, I gave you a chance, but you refused to take it." He then picked up the phone.

Evelyn immediately realized he was about to call Christopher. She hurried over and grabbed his arm. "Brian, you can't do this to me! You promised not to let anyone bully me!"

"I promised to protect you while you're in Gleaston, but that doesn't mean I condone your behavior that hurts others." Staring coldly at Evelyn, he stated, "Eve, you need to shoulder the consequences of your actions."

"I'm barred from the country! If the college expels me, how am I supposed to keep my head up in Gleaston? Brian, just pretend you are in the dark for my sake." She shot him a pleading look.

Evelyn was prideful. If people heard about her underhanded, vile tactics against Ariana, her kind and angelic public image would be shattered.

"Let go of me," Brian uttered coldly, as though he was warning her.

She released his arm under his frosty gaze. "Brian, you're pushing me to the edge. You can't do this to me," she bit her lip. "If going abroad is what you wish, I can help you. But you can't study at Glea College anymore."

Brian refused to budge.

Evelyn snapped, "I'm not leaving for abroad! I'll graduate from Glea College! If you don't agree to it, I'll kill myself before you now!" With that, she snatched a carving knife from the table and pressed it against her wrist.

His expression steeled. He hated being threatened, especially when people threatened to take their lives.

"Think twice," he warned. "I will not help you to pass the exam at Glea, which I'm offering you now. Are you sure you want to let it go? I don't want you to date another woman."

"I will not leave!" His eyes darkened after hearing what Evelyn had to say.

Emily entered Brian's office upon hearing the commotion, stunned by Evelyn's actions. Never had she thought that Evelyn would threaten Brian in such a manner.
