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

Chapter 64 # 25 BONUS A calm voice came from the crowd .

As soon as everyone saw William , they stepped aside to make way for him .

Everyone in college knew William .

He was a tenured professor at Glea College and one of its largest investors .

He donated at least eight figures to the college every year .

As a result of Williams passion for education , the college often invited him to give lectures .

He was a prominent figure on campus , and when he was away from the school , He was the CEO of Kingsman Co.

It wasnt just the students ; even their fathers would address him respectfully if they met him .

Lilas expression changed drastically upon seeing William approach .

Mr.

King … Mr.

Kingsman … William eyed the spilled food on the floor and unhurriedly commented , It seems that the Lawsons have quite the appetite .

Youre trying to mess with the Kingsmans , arent you ? No….

Not at all ! Lila waved her hands frantically , and her face was deathly pale .

L … I thought this was Arianas … William turned to glance at Arlana .

Half of her face was still flushed , and there was a clear handprint visible on her cheek .

Then , he turned to look back at the trio and asked , Who hit her ? … It was me .

It was an accident … Lilas voice grew softer .

She clearly didnt believe her excuse either .

Hit her back , William ordered without even lifting his head .

He gestured for Ariana to retaliate .

The crowd watched with bated breath as Ariana didnt hesitate .

She slapped Lila with all her strength and left the latters face almost contorted from the force .

Lila ! Evelyn paled .

Even Maddie was startled by the scene William eyed Evelyn and asked , Didnt you tell them about my relationship with Ari ? Evelyn bit her lip and muttered , I apologize , Mr.

Kingsman My friends were rude .

Were in school .

Remember who I am , William warned .

Got it , Mr.

Kingsman .

Evelyn had to swallow her resentment no matter how frustrated she felt .

Lets eat elsewhere .

William led Ariana out of the cafeteria .

Along the way , countless students stared at the pair and whispered among themselves .

Lila was still stunned even after the pair left .

Maddie turned to Evelyn and grumbled , Why didnt you tell us about Arianas connection to Mr.

Kingsman ? I … ..

Exactly ! Now that Ive offended Ariana , what if Mr.

Kingsman comes after me ? Lila panicked and was on the verge of tears .

She tugged at Evelyns sleeve and wailed , What should I do ? I ruined his meal , and if he tells my parents , Im doomed ! Evelyn was briefly silent .

Then , she said , Dont worry .

Ill talk to Brian and have him handle it .

Lila finally let out a sigh of relief .

Youre right .

Mr.

Lodge cares so much about you , and hell definitely help if you ask .

Evelyn forced a smile .

Shed thought that William was just stringing Ariana along .

Now that Ariana was Brians fiancée , she was certain that William would sever ties with the former .

But from the looks of it , William didnt seem to plan to do so at all .

It seemed that shed have to bring this up with Brian when the time was right .
