A Bride’s Revenge: No Longer the Backup Chapter 377
The next day on the Glea College campus, the final exam scores for graduation were announced.On the school's bulletin board, it was clear that Evelyn had the highest score in the entire faculty.Evelyn had graduated with an almost perfect score, whereas, just like the previous day, Ariana had scored zero.On campus, Ariana blocked Evelyn's way.Looking at Ariana, Evelyn said impatiently, "Ms. Torrey, do you need something? I'm very busy and don't have time to chat. If it's not important, I'll be on my way."Ariana replied bluntly, "Ms. Granger, did you enjoy cheating and tearing up my exam paper that much?"Evelyn's face suddenly fell. "What nonsense are you spouting? I don't understand a word you're saying.""Don't understand, huh? You will soon understand," Ariana said ambiguously.Evelyn hurried after her, frowning as she commanded, "Stop right there!"Ariana stopped walking.Evelyn asked, "What did you mean by what you just said?"Ariana replied, "It meant nothing. You

But this time, Evelyn had made a mistake.Ariana really did have evidence.More and more students gathered around, all wanting to know exactly what evidence Ariana held.Then, Ariana suddenly pulled out a USB drive.The onlookers looked curiously at the object in her hand."USB drive? What is she going to do with a USB drive?""How can a USB drive be evidence? She must be joking."...Evelyn said, "I don't understand what kind of evidence that is. Do you mean to say I hid a cheat sheet in the USB drive and then used a computer in class to cheat?""Of course not," Ariana replied. "This USB drive contains surveillance footage I recorded at the proctor's office door. It clearly shows the student union members breaking school rules and secretly altering exam papers.""Ariana! You installed a surveillance camera at the door of the proctor's office? Have you lost your mind?" Evelyn cried, unable to hold back.At that time, they shut off the power supply to prevent the surveillance

"The student union has been acting all high and mighty on campus for a while now. Who would've thought they'd go this far? They really deserve strict punishment!"...The students around began to take Ariana's side.Ariana looked at Evelyn and said, "Ms. Granger, if you keep blocking me, this is only going to blow up even more. I'd step aside if I were you."Evelyn stared fixedly at the USB drive in Ariana's hand. In a lowered voice that only the two of them could hear, Evelyn said, "Ariana, don't think you can destroy me. Brian won't let you do this!"Ariana remained calm and answered, "Is that so? But the evidence is right here. I'd like to see how Brian tries to protect you now."Ariana walked past Evelyn without giving her a second glance.Even if Evelyn wanted to call out to Ariana, she had to consider how the onlookers would view her behavior.Glea College wasn't very big, and the finance faculty was the most popular major. The news spread across campus quickly.At that

Christopher stood frozen in place.Why had the disciplinary committee suddenly shown up?In the next second, Christopher turned his gaze toward Ariana.The lead person from the disciplinary committee entered, holding a clipboard. He glanced at Christopher and asked, "Are you Mr. Christopher Gail, the dean of Glea College?""Yes, that's me," Christopher replied. He quickly stepped forward and politely extended his hand for a handshake.The man ignored the gesture and said, "We've been told someone cheated at your college?""Yes, yes. The students who cheated yesterday have already been dealt with. They were all expelled," Christopher replied."I'm not referring to that group," the man answered with a stern look. "We received a signed report stating that a senior from the finance faculty, the president of the student union named Evelyn Granger, colluded with other student union members to cheat by secretly altering exam papers. Is that correct?""Who? Who reported that? I wasn't

But when it came to Evelyn, Christopher really turned a blind eye.At that moment, Christopher was still trying hard to defend Evelyn. He said, "What can this piece of paper prove?""This piece of paper proves that Evelyn copied my answers and then tore up my exam paper."This time, Ariana was the one to answer Christopher's question.Christopher asked, "How can you prove she copied your answers and then threw your exam paper away? What if this is yours...""Mr. Gail, these are my exam papers that were given a zero."Ariana took two blank exams out of her backpack. They only had her student number and name filled in, while the answer section was left blank.Ariana said, "Mr. Gail, you can clearly see that the handwriting on these two exam papers is different, right?""So what? You still can't prove these blank exam papers aren't yours!""I severely injured my right hand. The doctor said I wouldn't be able to write with it for a month. So, during the exam, I wrote everything wi

Christopher walked over to his desk and called the head of the faculty. He said sternly, "Expel Evelyn Granger right away and order her to withdraw from school!"The leader of the disciplinary committee observed Christopher's reaction and wrote something on his clipboard. Then, he said, "Mr. Gail, Evelyn Granger's case is settled. Now, it's time to discuss your situation.""What? My situation?"Christopher was stunned.What did it have to do with him? Why would the disciplinary committee investigate him?"According to our information, there was a post on the school's official site the day before yesterday. It directly accused Evelyn of cheating, but the school took no action and instead blocked all related posts, suppressing the entire matter. Is that correct?"When Christopher heard this, he suddenly felt uneasy.Could it be the disciplinary committee suspected he had taken a bribe from Evelyn and ignored her cheating?Christopher felt wronged. He hadn't taken a single penny.

"Mr. Lodge, I don't understand what you mean by that.""Why are you treating Evelyn like this? Do you have to go this far?"Faced with Brian's questions, Ariana calmly said, "Brian, you're being way too biased. Don't you think Evelyn treated me horribly? She tore up my exam paper and gave me a zero. She didn't want me to graduate. I only reported her. What's wrong with that?""You...""I guess you already knew what Evelyn did to me. But you didn't stop her. Instead, you came to blame me. I actually thought you were fair, but it turns out you only care depending on who it is."Ariana had long known that if anything involved Evelyn, Brian would protect Evelyn without hesitation, no matter what she did."But what can you do now? You got here too late, and it can't be undone. If you really can't stand to see Evelyn expelled, then figure it out yourself."Ariana walked straight past Brian.Emily wanted to stop her, but Brian stopped Emily. "Let her go!""But..."Emily was stunned.

They thought they had covered their tracks perfectly, even cutting the power to the proctor's office floor beforehand.Who had exposed them?"Mr. Stewart, do you have any proof?" Evelyn asked, trying to keep her composure.However, Derek had heard enough of their excuses. He said flatly, "What more proof do you need? The disciplinary committee has it all. The matter has gotten out of hand, and the committee got involved. All the evidence is there. You not only changed your own papers but also tore up someone else's. Evelyn, as the president of the student union, you will be expelled. You should worry about yourself now."The student union members panicked."Mr. Stewart, this has nothing to do with me! I didn't alter my exam paper! Those were my real grades!""Right, Mr. Stewart, Evelyn did all of this! It's not our fault! She's the president and we had to listen to her!""Yes! She's the one who tore up the exam paper! We never told her to do that!"...As soon as the truth cam

The guests present all took in the scene before them. It was well known that Brian had always despised Ariana, but this time, he appeared visibly anxious about her in front of everyone.Ariana seemed unsurprised by the reactions of the guests around them. She withdrew her hand and said, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Lodge."Brian quickly realized that Ariana had just used him.Due to Lodge Co.'s stance toward Torrey Co., many had assumed that there was tension between the Lodges and Torreys. As a result, few corporate partners had been willing to initiate business dealings with the Torreys.Now that they have seen Brian and Ariana on better terms, many would likely approach the Torrey family."Ariana, did you just exploit me?" Brian had never realized just how cunning Ariana could be. He had always assumed she was clueless, but it was clear that he was the foolish one now."Didn't you say it yourself, Mr. Lodge? Mutual exploitation isn't a bad thing for either of us." Ariana shru

Ariana didn't refuse. After all, spending more time with Brian in public would be beneficial for the Torrey family."Mr. Lodge, I never expected that just one word from Mrs. Lodge Senior would be enough for you to put your pride aside and come see me," Ariana remarked.Her words dripped with mockery, and there were even some traces of disdain toward Brian. It was the same attitude that he'd used to have toward her.Alas, their roles were reversed."Ariana, do you really think it's a good thing that Grandma has taken an interest in you?" Brian asked.Belinda's intentions were clear to anyone with a sharp eye, and Brian knew that Ariana could tell as well.His eyes roamed over Ariana. Tonight, she was meticulously and elegantly styled in a long, gold-embellished gown. She was the very image of grandeur.When he looked at Ariana from the side, he frowned. Her appearance at the moment overlapped with the image of Susan in his mind.Suddenly, Brian halted in his tracks and firmly

Hushed whispers filled the surrounding area. Everyone wanted to know why Ariana had been invited to the Lodge family's gala.Inside the Royal Hotel, Emily knocked on the door of the second-floor break room. "Mr. Lodge, all the guests have arrived. We should head down now.""Got it," Brian replied and rubbed the bridge of his nose. The moment he closed his eyes, he could hear Ariana's words from the day before echoing in his mind.If it weren't for Belinda's insistence on hosting this gala, he wouldn't have wanted to see Ariana at all.…Meanwhile, downstairs in the banquet hall, all eyes were on Ariana the moment she appeared.It wasn't because of how extravagantly she was dressed, but rather the fact that she was now the sole heir of the Torrey family. Whoever married Ariana would stand to inherit everything she owned.If anything were to happen to Ariana, all of the Torrey family's assets would go to her husband, so every man in attendance had their eyes locked on her."Arian

Brian knew exactly what Belinda's words meant. In the past, his engagement with Ariana had been purely due to her suitable family background. But now, marrying her would mean gaining control over the entire Torrey family. At that moment, the things that Ariana said to him earlier today played back in his mind. His sense of pride flared once again. "Grandma, you don't need to concern yourself with this matter. We have already annulled our engagement, and there is no way I'll propose to her again." With that, he turned around and headed upstairs. Belinda was well aware of Brian's character. Her expression darkened. Since he was unwilling to let go of his pride, then she would make the necessary arrangements for him.The next day, the news of Gwen's imprisonment and Igor's expulsion from the Torrey family spread like wildfire within the high society. As the sole heir of the family, Ariana successfully assumed full control of the Torrey family. As the turmoil at school also began

"Ms. Piper, please follow me.""No! Mr. Lodge, I know you're a kind man. For old time's sake, please save Aunt Gwen!""I believe I already told you not to show up at my home again."Brian's eyes were cold. A single glance was enough to send a chill down Fiona's spine.Evelyn had already spoken to him a few days ago, informing him about the rumors circulating at school about him and Fiona. He was no stranger to the games women played, but he was simply too lazy to deal with it. After all, Fiona had nothing to do with him. Anyone in the right mind would recognize the vast gap in their social standing, and there was no chance they would be together. Those rumors were merely stories that Fiona had fabricated. He absolutely despised scheming women like her. Fiona still didn't know that Brian was already aware of her deeds. She cried, "But Aunt Gwen's imprisonment is also related to the Torrey family. Are you really not going to do anything about it?"Ms. Weston, what did I say earl

"Then let me make it clear to you, you aren't the heir of the Torrey family, and you aren't my father's son. From a legal standpoint, you and your mother have nothing to do with our family. You'd better accept the fact, Mr. Igor."Ariana's voice was full of mockery. In her past life, she had foolishly handed over the company Carson left behind to Gwen and Igor. But in the end, the company went bankrupt in less than three years. Worse yet, Gwen had even fled with Igor and John.This time, she swore she would never give Gwen and Igor the slightest chance to entangle themselves with Torrey Co. "Take him away." Ariana's voice was cold.The bodyguard swiftly grabbed Igor and dragged him toward the front gate. Still wearing his slippers, Igor was ruthlessly dragged out of the Torrey residence, unable to resist."Pack up all of Igor and Gwen's things and toss them out.""Yes, Ms. Torrey."To prevent Igor from making a fuss, Ariana deliberately stationed him at the security post by the e

It was already evening, and Igor had been waiting at home for Arian's call, but it never came. It wasn't until he saw a car from Torrey Co. pull up outside the gate that he immediately rushed out. The moment he saw Ariana get out of the car, he immediately snapped, "Why didn't you answer my call? Do you even know what has happened at home? Hurry up and come with me to the police station to bail my mom out!" Igor spoke in a commanding tone as he grabbed Ariana's hand and dragged her in the direction of the police station. But to his surprise, she pushed him away. Caught off guard by her move, Igor stared at her in disbelief. He sneered, "Ariana! Have you lost your mind? How dare you push me?" Igor had always had his way and never expected that Ariana would dare push him away.Just as he was about to grab Ariana again, Miranda stepped forward. With a simple move, she easily restrained Igor, rendering him unable to resist. "Ms. Ziegler! Have you lost your mind too? How dare you

Looking over the money and goods in his possession, Jeremy nodded in satisfaction. He left the Torrey residence with his group of lackeys.Gwen's legs finally gave out and she collapsed onto the floor. She had only borrowed money from the loan sharks just once. She couldn't believe that it would lead her to become completely penniless.Meanwhile, Ariana, who was still at the office, received a call from Jeremy."Ms. Torrey, it has been done. All that's left is to wait for the goods to be exchanged into cash.""I understand. Thank you for your hard work.""You're welcome. We were just following Mr. Smith's orders."Ariana smiled lightly. It was indeed all thanks to Victor's efforts. Without Victor's help, she wouldn't have been able to reclaim all of Gwen's and Igor's wealth and assets so easily. This was the wealth and assets that rightfully belonged to her father.Ariana lifted her head to look at Miranda after she disconnected the call. "It's done. Start the next phase," she s

"Ms. Lambert, this is all so sudden. Did something happen?" Ariana asked.No matter how terrible the circumstance she was in, Gwen would never tell Ariana that she had borrowed money from loan sharks. It was part of the Torreys' principles to never come into contact with them.If word about this got out, Gwen would never be able to live it down. Ariana might even use it against her to kick her out of the family.Ariana knew from the beginning that Gwen would never come clean to her about the loan sharks. She just smiled and said, "I'll send a contract to you. Once you put your signature on it, the contract will immediately go into effect. I'll have someone in the finance department transfer the money to you. "However, Ms. Lambert, please be informed this also means that you and Igor will give up the right to all of the inheritance my father left behind."Being face to face with the terrifying loan sharks, Gwen couldn't even spare a moment to think about the consequences of signin
