The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 240

The teachers in the conference room all raised their hands in unison.

At that moment, anxiously awaiting the school's decision, Mae was sweating bullets.

Mae clutched Eloise's arm in the classroom and asked, "Ellie, do you think I'll get expelled? Could that happen?"

Seeing Mae so wound up, Cindy tried to soothe her nerves. "Mae, don't freak out. It was an accident that you stepped on her hand. How could that lead to expulsion? Plus, I'm sure Ellie has had a word with Mr. Sutton. I bet this whole thing will blow over."

No sooner had Cindy finished speaking than she turned to Eloise, who had been silent, and said, "Right, Ellie?"

Eloise managed a weak smile. She hadn't told Mae and Cindy that she hadn't spoken up for Mae.

Just yesterday, Kieran had confronted her when she arrived at the hospital. With her issues unresolved, she hadn't had the mood to deal with anyone else's problems.

But considering it was a step on Freya's hand, it shouldn't be a big deal. So, Eloise took the credit anyway, saying, "I talked to Kieran about it yesterday, Mae. You won't be in trouble. Trust me."

Upon hearing Eloise say so, Mae's heart finally eased. Yeah, what was Freya in the grand scheme of things? Even her engagement to the Sutton family was off.

Without power or a solid background, one could only expect to get bullied at Summit University. And it was just a step on the hand, after all. How could that be so fragile?

Mae figured the school wouldn't pay much attention to such a minor incident. Thinking so, Mae felt even more relieved. Thank goodness she had found a strong ally in Eloise. With her by Mae's side, she felt secure.

Just as Mae patted herself on the back, a flurry of footsteps suddenly approached outside the classroom.
