Chapter 321

However, Susan's every move was completely different from Ariana's. She was an aloof beauty, distant and untouchable."Brian, are you listening to me?" Evelyn asked again.Brian came back to himself and answered flatly, "You're overthinking. Ariana can't be Susan. Maybe they just look a bit alike."One was a capable overseas executive. The other was a sheltered heiress who had never left Gleaston.Ariana had spent all her time chasing him around, so there was no way she could have gone abroad to become Warto Group's executive director.Evelyn felt uneasy again. In the past, it was Ariana who worried her, and now it was Susan. Her intuition told her both were formidable threats.During the reception, people made small talk. Many socialites who had previously flocked to Evelyn now drifted toward Ariana, since they saw how much attention she was getting from Brian and William."Everyone's been saying Ms. Smith is a beauty. We finally got to see for ourselves.""Yes, indeed. Warto

That evening, William drove Ariana back to the apartment he had arranged for her. It was close to Glea College and well-equipped. The privacy it offered kept her away from prying eyes.When they got out of the car, Ariana could barely walk and needed William's help just to reach the building.She kicked off her high heels and tossed them onto the ground. She had no intention of ever wearing them again."Is it really that bad?""Oh, it's that bad. Next time, Mr. Kingsman, you can wear high heels and see how you like it. Besides, I'm still hurt. Every step was torture!"William teased her. "You acted so well I couldn't tell it was killing you."He reached out to look at the injury on Ariana's hand.Obviously, Brian had tried to crush her fingers to see if she was Ariana. Even though her hand turned red, she stayed silent and endured the pain."Too bad it was almost healed. Now I have to redo my bandages."William asked, "Where do you keep the medicine? I'll get it for you.""Do

On that day, Ariana realized she didn't look like Evelyn at all.Ariana was just Ariana, not anyone's stand-in.The next morning, the private doctor William hired came to examine Ariana's wounds. When he saw all the injuries on her body, he applied targeted treatments and reminded her of a few things, then left.Ariana had planned to practice writing with her left hand in the apartment. But she remembered her library books were due, so she had to return them to the school library.Julia happened to be there with Evelyn. They were studying.Everyone knew this final exam would be the hardest in years, so all the soon-to-graduate students were staying in the library day and night.When Julia saw Ariana walk in, she stepped forward right away. "Oh, look who it is. The Torrey family's heiress. Why are you here all alone to return books? Where's Selena, that sidekick of yours? Did she find out the Torrey family is about to go bankrupt and decide to keep her distance?"Evelyn was the h

"Ariana, we're on campus! Are you really crazy enough to lay a hand on me here?"Julia refused to believe this fallen heiress would actually act out in public on campus.Without Brian's support, Ariana was completely vulnerable."Looks like you forgot. A while back, you and Maddie teamed up against me. You dared raise a hand to me, so why can't I raise a hand to you? Besides, you provoked me first. Even if we go to the dean, I have my explanation," Ariana said calmly.Julia sneered and shot back, "Back then, you were Mr. Lodge's fiancée, so we held back. Do you really think the dean will take your side now that you've broken off the engagement?"Everyone around understood how Glea College worked. If someone had status, the school would give them privileges. As long as they didn't break a major rule, the school would hush it up.Ariana used to get help because she was Brian's fiancée, but now that was over. Not even the dean or teachers would defend her."So, you're saying the de

"Hurt you?" Ariana asked.That was ridiculous. All she did was grab her wrist, yet she was acting as if her arm was broken.The other students caught on to Julia's signal. They began pointing at Ariana."Ariana, that's too much. Julia never did anything to you. She was just mad about Maddie's expulsion, and now you're being violent!""Exactly, Ariana. You've crossed the line. We need to see the dean. The exam's coming soon. If Julia's hand is injured, how can she take the exam? Are you responsible for this?"All around, people were stirring up trouble.Ariana realized Evelyn's plan. Evelyn wanted her gone before the exams. She was making her move now, but Ariana thought it was too rushed."I won't let you get away with this, Ariana. You're coming with me to the dean's office, and we'll settle this. If you don't explain yourself, I'll call the police," Julia said hatefully, not planning to back down."Fine. Let's go see who's lying."There were plenty of witnesses just now. Ari

Chapter 326

If Evelyn had cared about her reputation for fairness before, this time she was completely on Julia's side.The dean knew she was pressuring him. He felt torn and looked at Ariana. She was Brian's former fiancée, and William also showed her plenty of support. He still had to be careful.If he punished her too harshly and the board held him accountable, he'd be in trouble.He looked again at Evelyn, remembering she was the woman Brian adored. He really didn't want to offend her.He slammed his hand on the desk and said to Ariana, "Ariana! Everyone's saying they saw you hurt Julia. How do you explain yourself?"The dean was giving Ariana a chance to present evidence. Even if it wasn't fully convincing, he hoped she could give him something.Ariana wasn't stupid. She walked over to Julia and reached for her wrist.Julia instinctively tried to dodge, but Ariana was too quick. Julia ended up with her wrist in Ariana's grip."Ow! Let go! Ariana, let go!"Julia struggled, then pushed

Evelyn couldn't help but panic. She had just been standing up for Julia, and now everyone knew she was the one behind framing Ariana."Whether it was a joke or not, it doesn't help Mr. Gail's reputation. It'd be best if this were just a misunderstanding. But if it's bullying, someone might end up like Maddie. Having this happen before the graduation exam won't be good for Mr. Gail or Glea College, right?"Ariana's meaning was clear. If they kept pushing, Julia might end up in serious trouble.Evelyn had no choice. "Mr. Gail, it's almost graduation. Even if there are grudges, we should settle them. Why don't we drop it this time and pretend we never came here? I'll make Julia apologize to Ms. Torrey."By saying that, Evelyn indirectly admitted Julia tried to frame Ariana.Julia bit her lip, glaring unhappily. It was Evelyn who pinched her wrist and urged her to target Ariana, but now it looked like she was the villain. She felt more furious than ever.Still, the dean didn't want t

Chapter 328

Ariana had bumped into Brennan once at the college when she was in a hurry and barely got a look at him.She assumed he was just stopping by to see Evelyn before going back overseas to pursue his acting career.But now it seemed Brennan planned to stay in the country.That was bad news. He was deeply devoted to Evelyn and completely infatuated with her.If he saw Ariana, who knew what he might do for Evelyn's sake?Ariana had seen too many things like this.She wanted to turn around and run. Her legs, though, refused to cooperate. She had barely made it down the stairs. Climbing back up would be even worse.She could only hope Brennan wouldn't notice her. She kept her head down and walked toward the exit.Brennan was probably looking for Evelyn, so he didn't notice Ariana. That worked in her favor.But just as Ariana thought she had escaped, a voice called out from behind her. "Excuse me."Brennan's voice was pleasant. She could tell at once he was gentle.Ariana stiffened.

Not to mention, Ariana had taken away the man Evelyn loved most, so Brennan probably wanted nothing more than to see her get bullied."I'm fine. It's just a prank between classmates."Ariana couldn't wait to leave Brennan. She tried to continue on her way, but he blocked her again."Do you really not remember me at all? Not even a little?"Brennan's face looked sincere.Ariana quickly shook her head. "I'm sorry, but I really don't know you."As soon as Ariana said this, Brennan pulled down his mask, revealing the face everyone knew from the screen.As a very popular actor overseas, Brennan was undeniably handsome. But he looked exactly as Ariana remembered from her past life, so she showed no surprise."I'm Brennan Lowell. Ariana, you really don't remember me?"He spoke in a teasing tone.Ariana said, "You say you're the superstar Brennan Lowell? Don't joke around."She tried to brush him off and walk away.Brennan followed close behind. "We met when we were little. I was b

Chapter 330

In Brennan's mind, Evelyn wasn't the type to pull such a childish prank.Evelyn's face looked awkward for a second, but she said, "Of course not. She and Brian already ended their engagement. Even if they hadn't, I would never do such a thing."Hearing that, Brennan relaxed. "You asked me to come back here because you wanted to see if Brian's heart was still with you. You can see he broke off his engagement with Ariana. Why are you still so uneasy?""Thanks to you, but I still feel..." Evelyn paused. She couldn't put it into words. Deep down, she felt that Brian had changed toward her."Evelyn, don't be greedy. You know Brian will never marry you," Brennan said flatly.Evelyn's face changed in an instant. She had always known Brian wouldn't marry her. Even without Ariana, he would have married someone else.Still, she couldn't accept it. Even if she couldn't be Brian's wife, she wanted to remain the most special woman in his life."Alright, let's not talk about her. Let's go eat
