Chapter 256
Ariana had spent months on leave and was only interested in becoming Brian’s wife. There was no way she would pass the Glea College exams,
“Mr. Lodge, should we help Ms. Torrey somehow?” Emily asked.
“College is for learning, not cheating,” Brian said coldly. “she can’t pass the exams on her own, she doesn’t deserve to graduate.”
“Yes, Mr. Lodge.”
“Let the college know not to let her use my connections to pull any strings,” Brian added.
“Understood.”
Meanwhile, gossip was spreading quickly among the students at Glea College.
“Did you hear the news? Mr. Lodge’s new fiancée got dumped.”
“What? So soon? I thought they hadn’t even confirmed anything‘
“Yeah, yeah, my mom works at Lodge Co. She said Ms. Quiran left in disgrace.”
“Does that mean we all have a chance?”
“Come on, this is Mr. Lodge we’re talking about. Even if there’s no suitable match for him in the entire social circle, it definitely wouldn’t be one of us!”
Several students in the class chattered excitedly about Brian and Elise.
When Fiona heard Elise had been kicked out, she felt secretly thrilled.
In this class, all the students came from wealthy families, though they weren’t part of the true elites. Most of their parents earned millions a year.
However, Fiona only got into Glea College thanks to connections through her aunt.
“Fiona, wasn’t Mr. Lodge your ex–cousin–in–law? Tell us why he ended the engagement with your cousin.”
“Yeah, is it true what the rumors say? Did Ariana really cheat on him?”
“What cheating? I think Mr. Lodge just never cared about Ariana. Everyone knows she practically groveled for his attention. He never took her seriously.”
After Brian publicly announced he was breaking off the engagement, Fiona faced a cold reception from her classmates. Even though Ariana was the one with problems, Fiona was looked down on by her peers.
No matter how much Fiona resented it, she could only endure it.
Someone went on in a mocking tone, “Didn’t you talk to Mr Lodge before? Come on, spill it. What’s really going on between him and your cousin?”
“How would she know? She’s just a distant relative of Ariana, who’s using her connections to get in here. Without that, she’d probably be stuck at some second–rate college in a small town, right?”
